Patch 7.21 Summary

[quote=PsiGuard][center][url=/league-of-legends/forum/news/patch-7-21-summary-41752][img=/images/news/patch-721-summary.jpg][/url][/center] [rule] Hello and welcome to the MOBAFire Patch Summary - 7.21! We're just one patch away from preseason! This patch includes nerfs to some of the more dominant picks right now [icon=Azir][icon=Sejuani][icon=Galio][icon=Ardent Censer] as well as some buffs for a few champions and items that have fallen by the wayside. This patch will also include the return of past Harrowing skins as well as three new skins that you can check out below! Team up to overcome the cursed Doom Bots of Doom and their evil overlord before everything you love and cherish is doomed. Doom Bots is available from 10/26/17 at 12:00 p.m. PT - 11/7/17 at 04:00 a.m. PT.

[/td] [/tr] [/table] [size=6][color=#ffffff]Other Changes[/color][/size] [list] [*] [size=4][b]Client Settings[/b][/size] [list] [*] We’ve turned off the ability to turn off the client while in-game. The gains from that setting have been made redundant elsewhere (LCU), and the increased time in client booting up after a game is resulting in players missing honor voting and the end of game chat. [/list] [*] [size=4][b]Legacy Bundles[/b][/size] [list] [*] Seven Legacy bundles return from the vault, and the new Death Sworn Set is also available from 10/26/17 to 11/1/17. You can also buy these skins and chromas individually. [/list] [*] [size=4][b]New Missions, Rewards, and Emotes[/b][/size] [list] [*] Play through two new missions during the event and earn the Death Sworn Icon and Ward Skin Shard. Don’t forget to also check out the three limited-time emotes haunting the store until 11/1/17: Vamporo, Minionstein, and Spook O’ Lantern.

[quote=7daysko]Pretty good IMO. I love the fact that Ardent Censer is not a rush item anymore. Sightstone FTW! Also, did anyone notice the Editor's Note for Tear of the Goddess? Pretty neat reference if you ask me.[/quote]
