Legends of Runeterra has teased the list of cards affected by the balance changes with Patch 3.16.0 on Twitter, with full details to be released on September 28, 2022.
We’re hitting some high performing decks and giving our underperforming champions a little love. We’re also adjusting our Daybreak decks to bring them back into the light.
There are more buffs to cards than nerfs, however, with quality of life updates for some underplayed champions! Cards affected are as follows, and not pictured in the graphic are Illaoi and Ornn, which will also be receiving buffs.
