Patch notes are all fun and games, until they kill and bury a unique item build.

If you're a League of Legends veteran, you probably remember the times when Attack Damage Lulu, Ability Power Master Yi, Ability Power Warwick, and tank Diana wreaked havoc on the Summoner’s Rift. Back then, you could play champions in almost any way you wanted, as long as the scaling made sense.

For example, old Master Yi had AP scaling for two of his abilities—Alpha Strike and Meditate . This allowed players to opt for an AP build which would revolve around nuking enemies with Alpha Strike and healing back the damage with Meditate. However, the idea of a wizard Master Yi has been completely gone since Patch 3.10, which removed AP scaling on Alpha Strike.Major reworks aren't the only culprit for the dying build creativity in League.

Pour one out for support Sett, one of the most egregious victims of Riot's commitment to balance. Even though Sett was originally designed as a top-lane bruiser and counter to ranged champions due to innate healing, players used to pick him up as a support. The trick was to grab movement speed runes—Phase Rush, Nimbus Cloak, Celerity, and Hextech Flashtraption.
