Hey guys, Patch 1.0.0.107 is here, and to save you from reading the pages of patch notes, I'll give you the quick version. If you don't want to read all of this, just look for the bold/italics until you find a subject that interests you.
First of all, we have all-new skins and a new loading screen to suit the festive season! There are also a few new skins for some of your favorite champions, such as Reindeer Kog'Maw, Re-Gifted Amumu, Santa Gragas, Silent Night Sona, Nutcracko (Nutcracker Shaco), Ragdoll Poppy, and the sizzling Candy Cane Miss Fortune. Click here for more info and for some screenshots.
Also out in this patch is Cassiopeia, The Serpent's Embrace. She's a tough-to-play mage champion with poisons, a stun ultimate, and a seemingly direct damage nuke, though it may turn out to be a skillshot instead. She has some good combo abilities but it looks like given the delay aspect to two of her main spells they can be quite hard to hit and use effectively. Detailed stats for her do not appear to be out yet, but rest assured that once a few people get their hands on this new champion, stats will be sure to quickly follow on the LoL wikia.
Then of course there's the gameplay tweaks and changes. I'll just give a brief overview, and if you want the full scoop then check out the patch notes here.
So anyway, it's basically nerfs all-round, though there's a few new features such as a new penalty system for leavers and mastery saving improvements. Ezreal, LeBlanc, and Fiddlesticks got buffed, while Pantheon had his early-game nerfed, and pretty much everyone else got general nerfs, except notably Urgot had some fairly significant changes that you will want to check out if you like playing him.
As for items, several of them got nerfs, notably Banshee's Veil, Elixirs, Randiun's, Phantom Dancer, Warden's Mail, and Sunfire Cape, which had its aura changed to unique. Yes, that's right - no more stacking Sunfire Capes. Innervating Locket was removed and Last Whisper was revamped, now giving +40 AD instead of 40% IAS.
Also, Flash no longer pops projectiles, and the cooldown was increased by 15 seconds. This will save Riot from a lot of Flash withdrawal induced rage, while still balancing the spell out a bit. So no more flashing out of stuns or tower hits, etc.
And finally, the last piece of big news is that dragon doesn't give global experience any more, but does give more gold, and towers give reduced global experience but buffed global gold.
That's about it for Patch 1.0.0.107, so now you can get back in there and get to LoLing! Or, if you're not satisfied yet with the info I've given you, head on over here to check it out for yourself.
