· Vayne's first skill (Tumble) duration is reduced from 7 seconds to 4 seconds, removing the slow effect after dashing. This could potentially be a buff, as it might increase mobility in chase or escape situations.
· Her second skill (Silver Bolts) has reduced true damage and attack speed, weakening her tank-killing potential. This is considered a reasonable nerf, given Vayne's strong performance this season.

Champion	Skill	Changes
Vayne	First Skill (Tumble)	Duration reduced (7s → 4s) Slow effect removed after dash
Vayne	Second Skill (Silver Bolts)	True damage reduced Attack speed reduced

· Urgot's base attack damage increases from 58 to 62, which will apply to all AD-scaling skills and attacks, bringing a significant performance boost.
· The increase in base stats synergizes better with all AD-based items and skills, and is expected to make him even stronger, especially with the increased AD scaling on his passive.

Champion	Changes	Impact
Urgot	Base AD increased (58 → 62)	Strengthens all AD-scaling skills and attacks
Urgot	Passive AD scaling increased	Increased bonus damage

· Tristana's 'Explosive Charge' skill now deals more damage to surrounding enemies when a minion is killed, enhancing her wave clear. This addresses her previous weakness in freezing lanes.
· This change is expected to provide greater advantages for Tristana in solo and mid lanes, making it easier to push waves and secure turret gold.

Champion	Skill	Changes
Tristana	Explosive Charge (Passive)	Enhanced splash damage upon killing a minion

· Mel's first skill has reduced AP scaling and base damage. Due to the multi-hit nature of the skill, the actual damage reduction might be more significant. Additionally, damage to minions is increased, potentially slightly improving wave clear.
· The cooldown of her 'Counter Strike' skill is increased to 32 seconds, making it easier to approach Mel and increasing opportunities for counterplay. This is expected to reduce Mel's pressure in the early laning phase.

Champion	Skill	Changes
Mel	First Skill	AP ratio reduced by 1% Base damage reduced by 2
Mel	Counter Strike	Cooldown increased (Previous → 32s)

· Vladimir's base armor increases by 3, enhancing his survivability in lane against AD-based champions. This will be advantageous in trades against melee champions.
· The conversion rate of Ability Power to bonus Health increases from 120% to 140%, strengthening his late-game tankiness. This is expected to synergize well with the Psychic Projector build.

Champion	Changes	Impact
Vladimir	Base armor increased (+3)	Improved survivability in early AD matchups
Vladimir	AP to bonus Health conversion rate increased (120% → 140%)	Enhanced late-game tankiness

· Riven's passive base damage scaling is nerfed, reducing her burst damage in the early laning phase. However, damage to jungle monsters is increased, slightly improving her clear speed.
· While these changes hit top lane Riven harder, jungle Riven is expected to maintain strong performance. This raises questions about the balance adjustments for Riven across different roles.

Champion	Skill	Changes
Riven	Passive (Blade of the Exile)	Base damage scaling nerfed (vs. champions) Damage to jungle monsters increased

· Sivir's base attack damage per level and her first skill's AD scaling are increased, boosting her late-game carry potential. This makes her a more threatening presence in team fights beyond just relying on her ultimate.
· Zeri's passive AD scaling is increased, and her third skill's cooldown is reduced, generally enhancing her mobility and offensive capabilities. Skilled Zeri players can expect to see a significant power spike.

Champion	Changes	Impact
Sivir	Base AD per level increased First skill AD scaling increased	Enhanced late-game carry potential
Zeri	Passive AD scaling increased Third skill cooldown reduced	Improved mobility and offensive capabilities

· The 'Lethal Tempo' rune's maximum attack speed increase for ranged champions is reduced from 12% to 10%. This could lead to changes in build paths for attack speed-reliant champions.
· The 'Bone Plating' rune's base damage is increased to 60-200, and the bonus damage on hit is increased to 9%, strengthening early engagement capabilities. This could be a viable alternative to 'Lethal Tempo' for champions like Tristana.

Rune	Changes	Impact
Lethal Tempo	Max attack speed increase for ranged champions reduced (12% → 10%)	Induces build changes for attack speed-based champions
Bone Plating	Base damage increased (60-200) Bonus damage increased (9%)	Strengthens early engagement ability

· The 'Gathering Storm' rune's activation threshold is lowered to 65%, and the adaptive force increase is buffed to 2-20, making it more favorable for poke champions.
· The 'Manaflow Band' rune's cooldown is reduced by 15 seconds, providing advantages in gold acquisition and plant usage. This could significantly impact specific playstyles.
