This patch, while not necessarily big, did make changes to quite a few champions and items. The focus of this patch seemed to aimed at primarily lethality users. More specifically it seemed to be aimed to the junglers. Almost all the changes to these lethality users were buffs or side buffs, so expect a lot more aggressive AD mid lane and jungle picks to be seen.

While this will undoubtedly effect the meta, bot lane had a few changes as well. For supports, Shurelya's Battlesong was added into the game as a alternative to Turbo Chemtank for non-tank supports.... Read More

A TON... just not in bot lane, at least not directly. The addition of new mage items ( Oblivion Orb, Spellbinder, and Twin Shadows ), as well as the changes in current mage items; have greatly shaped mid lane, but also impacted other lanes as well.

There was some small changes to support items, but the only notable change is that Relic Shield and the upgrades to it have been nerfed. They took the total amount of Health you get at each upgrade down a bit, which means tanks are no longer as strong in the early-mid game.

Not much. Lucian was buffed, Kog'Maw was nerfed; as well as Unsealed Spellbook. Overall nothing was directly changed that is of great value.

How does bot lane look?
All in all, almost the same as the last patch. Team fighting, mid game oriented champions are the best suited for this meta and the most popular. There has been a slight increase in diversity for supports, but besides that it is mostly the same.

For supports this has been a amazing update. Sightstone has been taken out of the game and has been merged with support items. Fully upgraded support items, such as Talisman of Ascension, Face of the Mountain, and Frost Queen's Claim have all been removed from the game. The only way to get refillable wards now its to complete the quest for Ancient Coin, Relic Shield , or Spellthief's Edge; which is each set to upgrade when you reach 500 gold via the support item of your choosing.

Minions have also been tuned to Target enemy champions... Read More
