Other system changes include players now dropping one small orb in the first 3 PVE rounds, no longer being able to sell units if it will lead to item deletion, and no longer being able to open loot orbs if their item bench is full. 

Traits

The larger vertical traits like Mech Pilot, Dark Star, Rebel, Cybernetic, Star Guardians, Valkyrie, and Blademaster had their power nerfed. Meanwhile, Vanguard got a big buff to armor. Chrono and Blademaster also received balance adjustments. 

Champions 

Soma and Xerath receive nerfs to Aria of Perseverance and Abyssal Bombardment respectively. Graves and Rakan have adjustments made to Smoke Grenade Blind Duration and Grand Entrance Targeting, while Yasuo's Last Breath Targeting gets a rework. 

A couple of Champions received a single buff except Gangplank who got two instead, the first to Mana and the second, a reduction to his Faster Impact Upgrade delay. The other Champions buffed this patch include Annie, Fiora, Jinx, Leona, Malphite, Master Yi, Rumble, Aurelion Sol, Twisted Fate and Ziggs. 

Items

Only one item, Quicksilver was adjusted with this update. It's shield duration has now increased from 15 seconds to 10 seconds. 

Bugfixes

Most of the bugs squashed were in relation to Xerath and Guardian Angel in particular. Ahri will now wait until her first orb returns before casting another one and Star Guardian 3 is now a bronze trait. 

Mobile

The mobile side of things is filled with fixes, like the login successful SFX, issues with loadout, Arena Skins Icons, and the stage indicator panel. However, players can now remove a friend from their friends list and Little Legends rarity is now shown on the loadouts panel.
