In the new patch of League of Legends many champions will be adjusted again. Especially Gwen and Wukong, who are popular in Pro-Play, will suffer.
In a tweet from Riot employee Jeevun Sidhu, we can take a first look at the new buffs and nerfs for patch 11.15 in League of Legends. As with the last update, the list of champions with planned changes is not exactly straightforward.

Slashing restrictions are expected for Gwen in particular. The gifted seamstress is more than popular in the pro-play at the moment and could be somewhat off the radar again with the planned nerfs.
Also planned are nerfs of popular champions such as Irelia, Sylas, Thresh, Viego, Wukong and also Aurelion Sol, whose win rate in higher ranks was 57.4 percent in the last patch, according to Sidhu. However, this high rate has nothing to do with the low play rate of exclusively advanced Aurelion Sol Mains.
The list of buffs, on the other hand, includes the four bot laners Blitzcrank, Rell, Xayah and Caitlyn – which should bring some momentum back to the bot lane. The two mid-lane mages Cassiopeia and Syndra expand the pool of playable AP champions. Rumble and Dr. Mundo are also to receive other small adjustments to their kit.
