Breaking down all changes to champions in patch 7.15
Patch update 7.15 is finally live in League of Legends as the focus was on continuing to balance several champions with nerfs and buffs. Here’s a full breakdown of all the changes.
Besides the rework of Urgot, the Dreadnought in League of Legends, developers dropped patch update 7.15 this week to further balance gameplay out with various champions that either needed to be nerfed or buffed.
In the grand scheme of things, this latest patch update fixed some big issues with Kayn, the Shadow Reaper, as he was a bit buggy after being released in patch update 7.14. For those of you that played as him or unfortunately fell to his overpowered ways, you’d be happy to know that some glitches were fixed.
Courtesy of the Media Relations Department of League of Legends, below you’ll find all the latest updates to champions.

"Base statsMOVEMENT SPEED :: 330 >>> 335"
Xerath
When it comes to late game opportunities, Xerath has been missing out due to his main abilities not packing enough punch. Developers buffed the slowness in his W – Eye of Destruction and buffed his ultimate R – Rite of the Arcane.
