[quote=Wayne3100][center][img=http://www.mobafire.com/images/news/patch-520-summary.jpg width=550][/center] [rule] Hello and welcome to the MOBAFire Patch Summary - 5.20! Earlier today, Riot released the [url=http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-520-notes]patch notes[/url] of patch 5.20, and we are here to walk you through today's update to make sure you don't get caught off guard the next time you set foot on Summoner's Rift. Obviously, one of the main things to look forward to in this patch is the release of [[Kindred]], but there are also champion buffs and nerfs to talk about, as well as a set of upcoming new skins and splash art updates to some of the skins which already exist today. Let's take a look!

As a reminder, you can check out the kit by mousing over the ability icons below or by taking a look at the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Pwn7G-eLE]Kindred Champion Spotlight[/url]. Moving on from the new and back to the old, there aren't too many changes to champions in this patch, but still some which are worth highlighting. For example, it should be no surprise that [[Darius]] has a [color=#ff0000]-[/color] in front of his name in today's "WTF DID THEY DO TO MY CHAMPION?!" table; the blade width when using [[Decimate]] ([s][color=#808080]270[/color][/s] ⇒ 220) and the slow on [[Apprehend]] ([s][color=#808080]90%[/color][/s] ⇒ 40%) are both going down. Other nerfs in this patch will see [[Vayne]]'s AD go down by 3 and [[Evelynn]]'s [[Dark Frenzy]] receive an actual mana cost ([s][color=#808080]0[/color][/s] ⇒ 40), while [[Fiora]]'s [[Grand Challenge]] duration will only remain the same as before if she manages to hit enemy Vitals ([s][color=#808080]5 seconds[/color][/s] ⇒ 2 to 5 seconds). As for the good news, [[Dr. Mundo]]'s [[Masochism]] will now reset his attack timer, increase the range of his next auto attack by 25 and scale with 5% of his maximum Health, while [[Teemo]]'s [[Noxious Trap]]s now arm in 1 second (down from 1.5) and charge slightly quicker than before ([color=#808080][s]35/31/27 seconds per charge[/s][/color] ⇒ 34/28/22 seconds per charge).

Obviously, [[Shadowfire Kindred]] makes its reappearance after the champion's release being delayed to this patch, while [[Brand]], [[Kassadin]] and [[Vi]] can also look forward to receiving a new skins. These skins have been confirmed [i]not[/i] to be related to this year's Harrowing event. On top of the new releases, five existing skins will also receive a new splash art; these are displayed below the set of new skins (click for the full size image).

For example, which of the changes in this patch do you feel were the most necessary, and which are missing entirely? Are you planning to pick up any of the new skins? Alternatively, do you own any of the skins which have been updated and - if so - what do you think about the updated splash art(s)? Let us know by commenting below![/quote]
