recieved a small rework this patch. Riot removed the unique bonuses Nunu received from Consuming different types of camps and replaced them with a stacking buff called Well Fed that grants him movement speed out of combat as well as increased health and size, stacking up to 5 times. The buff lasts 50-70 seconds based on rank and refreshes whenever Nunu Consumes a large monster. Overall, this will amplify Nunu's strengths during the early jungling phases of the game and reward him for regularly farming camps.

Notable Misc. Changes / Fixes

Baron Nashor's knockback on champions that dash into him is reduced from 1 second to 0.33 seconds.
Twisted Treeline Outer Turret Vision Range ~~1095~~ ⇒ 775
Movement orders issued .03 seconds before a basic attack fires will no longer cancel it. The movement will now occur after the attack fires (This should make kiting feel more consistent with fewer cancelled autos after the projectile goes off).
The basic attack component of Devastating Charge can now critically strike, in line with similar abilities such as Siphoning Strike.
Pantheon is no longer locked out of his active items if he dies during Grand Skyfall's channel.
Fixed a number of bugs where various short-range dash abilities (ex. Valor, Hextech Rocketbelt) and knock-back effects (ex. Monsoon) that can’t move champions across normal terrain were able to move them over player-created terrain. This is technically a Jarvan buff.
Additionally fixed a few spots where Vayne's Tumble was able to move across ledges.
Fixed an edge case where Tryndamere's Spinning Slash could damage allies he spins through if they were directly on top of an enemy unit.
Fixed a bug where Rift Herald couldn’t disable Garen's Perseverance after Perseverance 'ranked up' at level 11.
Kled can now issue pings during Chaaaaaaaarge!!!.
Pinging active items while dead no longer displays "0 charges."
Most PROJECT Crafting materials will expire on November 6th. Augment Caches are the exception, but won’t drop PROJECT Cores after this date. Disenchant your leftover stuff!

Upcoming Skins

Four new Star Guardians arrive this patch! In addition, 's Homeguard animation has been updated to match her teammates'.
