Patch 7.6 Summary

[quote=PsiGuard][center][img=/images/news/patch-76-summary.jpg][/center] [rule] Hello and welcome to the MOBAFire Patch Summary - 7.6! Welcome to the patch of buffs! In today's patch notes, every champion listed was either directly buffed or at least received some positive changes that buffed some aspect of their play. In addition to champion balance, we have the [[Galio]] rework launching with 7.6. If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check out the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3BFQMW2Lfw]champion spotlight[/url]. There are a handful of miscellaneous changes to read about below, but apart from those it's a pretty small patch in terms of game balance. Nexus Siege will be returning to the Rotating Game Modes queue and will be live from March 24-28 and March 31 - April 4. As April approaches, this patch will also contain some fun new skins for Alistar, Kennen, Kog'Maw and Renekton.

Gone is the Sentinel's Sorrow and in his place comes the Colossus. Be sure to check out the [url=http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/featured/champion-galio-the-colossus]gameplay reveal[/url] and [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3BFQMW2Lfw]champion spotlight[/url] to get familiar with his new abilities, or read the tooltips on the icons below! [center][icon=Colossal Smash size=60] [icon=Winds of War size=60] [icon=Shield of Durand size=60] [icon=Justice Punch size=60] [icon=Hero's Entrance size=60][/center] In addition to the buffs shipped during 7.5, [[Aatrox]] is receiving a new buff to his passive, [[Blood Well]]. The empowered effect has been renamed from Blood Rush to Hellbent, and Aatrox now completely fills the Blood Well upon reviving if he is killed during Hellbent. He also no longer loses his third hit from [[Blood Thirst / Blood Price]] after reviving. [[Cho'Gath]]'s [[Feast]] received another buff this patch, increasing the minion/monster stack cap to 6 and the bonus health on rank 2 and 3 of the ability. [[Fiddlesticks]] also received some direct buffs, gaining 50 range on his [[Terrify]] and a new mechanic that lowers [[Drain]]'s cooldown if it kills the target. [[Gnar]]'s health regeneration has been normalized between his normal form and Mega Gnar. This is overall a buff, since Gnar spends the majority of the game in mini form and therefore will benefit from the increased regeneration compared to the decrease in health regen in mega form. Gnar also received a QoL change to [[Crunch]] that allows players to queue up another spell during the cast time. [[Miss Fortune]]'s [[Double Up]] damage has been increased and the ability range now scales with her attack range, meaning she can cast it from farther away if she has an energized [[Rapid Firecannon]]. In addition, casting Double Up or [[Make it Rain]] no longer causes Miss Fortune to briefly pause after the cast. [[Varus]] received a simpler buff, with the cooldown reduction on [[Piercing Arrow]] when proccing [[Blighted Quiver]] stacks no longer being reduced when he buys CDR. Our last two changes are to [[Orianna]] and [[Quinn]]. When an ally is holding Orianna's ball and they die, the ball now drops to the ground instead of snapping back to Orianna. This should make it less likely for Orianna to miss her ultimate and solves some existing bugs when ball-carriers died. Quinn received mixed changes, with a buff to her attack speed on [[Heightened Senses]] but a nerf to the damage of [[Skystrike]]. In addition to this shift away from burst towards DPS, Quinn now respawns as Valor for the rest of the game once she has a point in [[Behind Enemy Lines]].

[quote=imperatorex]It's a pity they modified Warlord's Bloodlust so quickly. The 7.5 version gave Warwick's Q a huge boost in healing when it reaches 100 stacks. It made sense to actually time your Q instead of just insta-Q whenever it was out of cooldown.[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard]Honestly it doesn't really seem like they know what to do with that mastery. It's been reworked several times already.[/quote]
