Being a 
Sion player I'm not so keen on the damage nerf to Roar of the Slayer, but it is probably needed as you could easily bully squishies out of lane with it.
Kind of excited about the cool down reduction on Paranoia as the way games were playing out it seemed like you could only get one or two ganks in with it before laning phase was over, then it was diving the backline and hoping the lanes you hadn't ganked for were strong enough to follow you into the fray.

I wonder what the point of lowering Magical Journey's CD is. Still it's nice to see him get some buffs, I thought he was pretty fun in the one game I played. I think his AA range or Q range should be increased, cuz without those things he's not gonna be able to poke well still.

Hello and welcome to the MOBAFire Patch Summary - 5.6!
Just like last time, Riot has released a very buff-focused patch to help out some of the champions that haven't seen a lot of play during the last couple of months (or longer). There's also room for some nerfs in response to the changes made in patch 5.5, however, specifically regarding tank junglers that benefit from the Cinderhulk enchantment.
Outside of champion changes, this patch was significantly smaller than its predecessor, with only a handful of adjustments to items and game mechanics in Summoner's Rift being added while there is absolutely no mention of any upcoming skins. Because of this, it should come as no surprise to you that this summary will also be pretty champion-focused, so let's delve right in!

Item & SR Adjustments
There's not a lot to talk about here, so we'll keep it short.
Skins?
Although - as previously stated - the patch notes make no mention of any skins being added in patch 5.6, the splash art below was added to the game files and combines Urf the Nami-Tee, Definitely Not Udyr, Archduke Nasus, Surprise Party Amumu and Order of the Banana Soraka in one image. Despite there being a decent chance that this file was only added for a future release, we felt it was worth sharing anyway as it should at least give you guys some content to look forward to.
More details to follow soonTM!
Share Your Thoughts!
And that's it for this summary! Hopefully, you are now fully up to speed regarding all changes and ready to hop right back into some Summoner's Rift action. If you feel like you still need more info instead, make sure to check out the full patch notes and leave your thoughts on all changes below!
For example, which of the champions buffed in this patch do you look most forward to playing? Also, do you feel any of the buffed champions are in danger of becoming too strong, or that Riot forgot about other champions that also needed some love? Finally, do you agree with the nerfs that were handed out or do you think Riot was being too harsh? Let us know!
