  • Where you at: Ancient Archives I and Cursed Crown icons will now appear

  • Fixed an issue preventing Sylas and Sejuani from casting when equipped with Rapidfire Cannon
  • Lose yourself and: Ryze will now reliably change targets when his primary target dies or goes untargetable through effects like Edge of Night’s stealth and Zhonya’s Paradox’s stasis
  • Healing with feeling: Nami now correctly targets the lowest percent Health ally with her heal rather than the lowest absolute Health ally
