Malzahar
Malzahar’s third ability (E – Malefic Visions) now executes minions below a certain health threshold (15-45 health, scales based on level).
corky
Corki’s base stats (health growth and attack damage growth) have been improved.
Ahri
Mana cost on Ahri’s first ability (Q – Orb of Deception) reduced and AP damage scaling improved by 5% at all ranks (40% -> 45%).
Champion Nerfs
Bel’Veth
Bel’Veth’s third ability cooldown (E – Royal Maelstrom) was increased by 2 seconds at all levels.
Latest from Bel’Veth (R – Endless Banquet) was nerfed so that spawns (Void Remora) have 10% less health at all ranks (50/60/70% -> 40/50/60% of minion’s max health).
blitzcrank
Blitzcrank’s base health and base magic resist have been lowered slightly to make him weaker in lane.
Bonus attack speed on his second ability (W – Overdrive) was reduced by 10% at all levels.
miss fortune
Miss Fortune’s third ability (E – Make it rain) was nerfed for AD builds. However, the AP ratios on his third and final ability were increased, which could make off-meta builds more viable.
