The Zed + Maw nerfs make me immensely happy, even if I think hexdrinker is still too strong atm when compared to 
Seeker's Armguard, and Zhonya's Hourglass is still a ***** to build.
Irelia buffs tho...urgh.

Zed's nerf was really nice to see. I do still think that Hexdrinker is too strong of an item though. I think that they need to up its cost because vs an AP mid it basically gives them AP, AD and health for only 150 more gold than a seeker's.
I hope rito adds another item that builds off of Seeker's Armguard too.

I'm wondering at the splash art decisions. Maybe I missed it or I'm not aware of some behind the scenes technical issues, but it seems like a missed opportunity from Riot to put the choices up to a community vote. From what I gather they did some sort of yay or nay internally, and though it is only my opinion, some of the replacements are lacking compared to the ones they are replacing. E.g. The replacement for the
Renegade Talon
skin, while never my favorite Talon skin, looks rather goofy.
It also somewhat affects play as their new thumbnails show up while playing and it can take a second to place the champion. It took me a recheck or two for me to confirm that we had an Irelia against us in one game.

One thing I thought was that they could give it an active that pops an anti-ad damage shield with a long-*** cooldown. Damage soaked and duration could be the same as Hexdrinker. I say an active because it'd then transition into zhonya's active.
The main issue here is how cost efficient hexdrinker is and that it's so much better than seekers in many aspects. It soaks a spell - which screws the apc's cooldowns - and gives good stats and magic damage mitigation. Seekers gives AD mitigation, but when a midlane assassin/ad champ all ins you the difference in damage that you're not taking from their ability all in you're receiving in the shape of AAs (theirs hurt more than yours) and

Hello and welcome to the MOBAFire Patch Summary - 6.7!
While the previous couple of patches have mainly had positive news in store, today's patch brings mainly the opposite, with many of the champion changes being focused on toning down some of the top-tier picks and ensuring every champion on the Rift has their strengths and weaknesses.
On top of that, another big talking point is part one of a global splash unification, which results in a high number of skins having received the Chinese version of the splash art across all regions.
In this post, we'll have a look at both of those things while also shortly highlighting some changes to items & masteries. Let's go!

Of course, that still leaves a bunch of other strong outliers who have received nerfs as well, including
Items & Masteries
Moving on from champion nerfs, Riot have also toned down one item and one mastery in the game as a result of them being a little too powerful.
