Hello everyone and welcome to another Riot news compilation post, where we give you a quick overview of the news content created by Riot in the past couple of days. Today, we'd like to start by pointing your attention to an update in the patch notes of patch 5.16 (conveniently "stickied" at the top), consisting of a Skarner nerf & Darius buff. These changes are part of a hotfix which is being patched across all regions today, with NA receiving the update a little later due to the server migration. Speaking of which, the article rounding up the NA server move to Chicago is also in today's overview.
Apart from that, there's also a new champion and skin sale, this week's free champion rotation, an upcoming Q&A with a Rioter, Reignover discussing Olaf, new bundles inspired by the winning NA & EU LCS teams and more. Feel free to leave your thoughts on these articles below, and if you're on NA let us know how the server change affected your ping!
Over at the Riot Engineering blog, Riot Penrif explains the technical process behind the League of Legends development team's recent rework of the code that handles projectile attacks.
Play like you're part of the LCS or looking to deepen your champion pool, we got four new champion bundles inspired by NA and EU LCS Summer Finals, available for 50% off from now until September 1.
Pick up the new Dragon icon and let everyone who views your profile know who's the real final boss of Summoner's Rift (hint: it's the player with the terrifying dragon on their profile [additional hint: you]).

LoL is the only game that has one server instead of multiples.
