This patch is a bit of a grab bag, with good stuff all around. We’ve got a broader assortment of changes than we can cover in an intro, but we’ll do our best to hit the highlights.
Ryze’s update leads us off. He’s got a brand new ult, so don’t be surprised if packs of enemies warp into the middle of a Baron fight to steal your purple buff. That’s a thing Ryze does now! Snark aside, interested parties should really read his update article for a proper explanation.
Moving on, let’s talk Treeline. Recent seasonal events left wrinkles in the 3v3 ecosystem, such as the prevalence of marksmen following the most recent preseason. We’re taking steps to address these distortions, with the bulk of our approach coming from itemization shifts. (Fare thee well, Sanguine Blade.)
Last on our list of topics, Sona and Leona continue 6.13’s effort to make supports more satisfying to play. Downtime was the problem for both champions: once their initial rotation of spells was spent, they were left twiddling their thumbs until their abilities came off cooldown. We’re giving Leona new things to do post-initiation, while Sona will be doing the same stuff as ever, but at a much faster clip.
We’ve kept you up here long enough, so that’ll do it for us this patch! May your spellcasts be satisfying and your cooldowns well-pinged.
They're throwing out patches so often now, like wtf? It used to be like once a month, I swear 6.13 came out like week ago.

It's because Riot announced it like at the beginning of the year. New patches/updates will come out more often so they will show that they can listen to players and their feedback - since like everyone was bitching about something every single patch. Riot also promised champion reworks and updates before Championship of 2016.
To patch:
Everyone was bitching that adcs are strong ... well now... here you have jungle/top/mid buff as well (Malza nerf yeey). But seriously... boosting Fiora?

Yeah, I dislike them trying to bring back Fiora. Also, I'm frustrated with the fact that they're making supports have so much more impact. Like Leona seems like she's going to be broken now -.-
