League of Legends patch 8.18: Pre-Worlds tweaks

League of Legends' next big content update is patch 8.18. Well, I say big. In reality, as patches go, this one is pretty small. But never fear, that's largely down to two efforts from the balance team in particular. The first is that they've been working on pre-season for the past week, and are only now moving their focus to the new patch. The second is that patch 8.18 is a very small patch. The next patch, 8.19, is the Worlds patch - the version of the game that this year's World Championships will take place on. That means that this patch is more preparatory than anything else. Riot is clearly unwilling to make any sweeping changes that could upset the balance of the game heading into its biggest esports event of the year. There are still plenty of champion changes to take a look at though, from yet more Sejuani nerfs, to Renekton tweaks, to an early-game buff to Vayne, of all people. Check out all of the changes below, straight from the PBE.
