Summary
K.O. Coliseum Balance
This update focuses on fine-tuning the meta for the upcoming Tactician's Crown tournament. Key adjustments include buffs to underperforming carries like Kai'Sa and Rammus, while high-performing units like Katarina and the 5-cost Lee Sin have had their damage ceilings lowered. Economic traits like Crystal Gambit have also been nerfed to prevent excessive resource generation in the late game.
Uncharted Realms Revival
A significant balance pass has been applied to the Uncharted Realms revival mode. The developers are shifting power away from 3-cost carries like Diana and Olaf and into the iconic Dragons. 3-star Dragons such as Daeja, Idas, Sohm, and Sy'fen have received substantial buffs to their late-game scaling to ensure they feel like true game-enders.
