Rashar's 7.2 Patch Notes

Aatrox Aatrox is in a weaker spot due to his extremely feast or famine nature that makes him nearly unstoppable once he "feasts". To try and tide him over until larger changes can be made to his kit, these are some safer changes to make him a better champion overall without buffing the aspects of him that increase his feast or famine nature. Q- Dark Flight

• Can no longer be interrupted before it begins
• Now knocks up in the entire area of effect
• Base Damage reduced to 60/100/140/180/220 from 70/115/160/205/250

• If Aatrox dies and activates Blood Well during the duration of this ability, the remaining duration is reset to 12 seconds

Annie Annie has for a long time had the issues of the older version of Ryze to where if you enter her "No No Zone", you basically die if you aren't a Tank. To add some counterplay to this, her ultimate now has a tiny delay and a brief AoE indicator where the bear will spawn similar to Zac's E. To compensate this change, the rest of Annie's kit has gotten some minor adjustments. Ability 1- Disintegrate

• Mana Cost reduced to 55/60/65/70/75 mana from 60/65/70/75/80 mana Ability 2- Incinerate

• Initial Damage AP Ratio increased to (+75% AP) from (+65% AP)

Blitzcrank The rusty robot has kind of been off to the side of the show for a while now, sipping some iced tea and not really seeing many highlights.
