TL;DRThis patch tunes down Locke, Garen, Jayce, Senna and Seraphine and helps Azir with rune interaction changes, while Corki, Mordekaiser, Nami and Yunara get buffs. Immortal Path, Protoplasm Harness and Hextech Rocketbelt are nerfed, Blue Buff grants more ability haste as you level, and Ranked Season 2 ends on July 28.

Trimmed redundant buffs that repeat information already clearly communicated elsewhere in the UI or gameplay state (e.g. role quest progress and other obvious state changes).
Moved most item buffs with durations into the inventory on the item itself.
Reduced buff bar clutter from lower-impact system, map and item effects that don't meaningfully change player decision-making.
Removed display of very short-duration debuffs and effects (˜0.25s), including things like minor slows from Honeyfruit pickups.

Riot is rolling out optional Parent Permissions: parents who connect their email on the account control page can limit text and voice chat, block friend requests and see more of their child's social activity in game.
Source line
Riot is rolling out optional Parent Permissions to give parents more visibility and control over their child's social interactions in game. Parents can access parental controls by connecting a parent's email address via account control page, where they can limit text and voice chat, block friend requests, and view the social panel friends list. These controls are meant to provide parents with the tools to protect their child's safety.
Structured by Nerf Radar from the official notes (parsed automatically and reviewed by hand). Stat lines were parsed deterministically from Riot's notes; buff and nerf labels follow the numbers (for cooldowns and costs, lower is better) or Riot's own designer notes. The Arena 'Wildfire Interaction' line is not listed because the notes do not say which item it applies to. Cosmetics (skins and chromas), the Clash schedule and the T1 skin release details are omitted.
