Nearly a week after Patch 9.14 hit the live servers, Riot is rolling out a balance micropatch to, hopefully, level the playing field.
Lead gameplay designer Mark “Scruffy” Yetter tweeted earlier today the entire list of changes in the micropatch, which is slated to release today. Among the changes, it seems Riot intends to unbench the Kench.
