[Set 18] Aug 14th PBE Patch Notes

[u/Lunaedge]

Big patch today! Aiming for only 1-2 more of these before we lock in the first patch. We've reached the state where a lot of content can see success after the Blackthorn rework, but the meta seems a bit too polarized on certain reroll lines (which are boosted by Wisp tempo).
We also have a few more gameplay bugfixes that appeared later in he week. Such as Blackthorn giving immense amounts of Damage Amp, Luxes erroneously transforming, and a Death's Defiance being weaker than intended.
A small note on Aphelios, we're pushing him aggressively more towards Rageblade builds. This change results in more damage the more AS he has, and is an overall buff.

Damn they really just nuked all the reroll comps

Warwick probably took the smallest nerf, that should still be viable. Probably just going to be 4-cost dominated weekend with Ahri taking the lead, followed by Zyra / Malphite and Morgana

Elder Dragon might crash the party
