[quote=PsiGuard][center][url=/league-of-legends/forum/news/patch-7-17-summary-41597][img=/images/news/patch-717-summary.jpg width=60%][/url][/center] [rule] Hello and welcome to the MOBAFire Patch Summary - 7.17! We're almost at 7.18, the Worlds patch, so balance changes in this one are going to be pretty light. That said, we have a slew of new skins and the new champion [[Ornn]], so this patch is far from empty! There's also a nifty new tool called Preferred Item Slots, where you can set your preferred slot for active items in your item sets. There's also a brand new game mode called Invasion! Scroll down for details on that one. The Hunt of the Blood Moon looms into rotation from 8/25/17 at 12:00 PM PT - 8/29/17 at 04:00 AM PT and 8/31/17 at 12:00 PM PT - 9/5/17 at 04:00 AM PT. Sacrifice Spirits, Demon Heralds, and enemy champions to gain points and the Demon Brand buff, which turns you invisible to hunt down your enemies.

[/list] [*] [size=4][b]Match History[/b][/size] [list] [*] Unranked match history is now publicly visible [/list] [*] [size=4][b]Preferred Item Slots[/b][/size] [list] [*] Preferred item slots are a new feature of item sets (under the "Collection" tab). Settings are saved per item set, so make sure you've assigned your item sets to the correct champions and maps! [*] Items added to an item set now display a grid icon in the upper righthand corner. Clicking the grid icon lets you assign a preferred slot for that item to occupy. [*] Multiple items can be assigned the same preferred slot, but each item can only be assigned one preferred slot. [*] When you purchase an item with a preferred slot, your inventory will automatically shift to put that item in its preferred slot unless a different active item is already in that slot. [*] You're still free to rearrange your inventory however you want in-game! [*] Switching item sets in-game also switches your preferred item slot settings. Reminder: the "Default" item set has no preferred slot assignments.
