Not entirely, but we've got one in this patch. Technically you could say the same with champion updates because we have a Ryze update, so maybe we'll say that.
Items and Ryze. The new frontier(s).
Oh, and a pile of changes for Howling Abyss. That's entirely too many frontiers.
Jokes aside, patch 5.8 is looking pretty diverse with the new Black Cleaver, a Ryze gameplay update, and some Howling Abyss upgrades (now everyone gets Lee Syndrome) rolling down the pipe. All three of those are fairly easy to discuss in their respective contexts, so we won't dwell too much here in the foreword. Instead, we just wanted to say that we're once again happy with the upward trend of champion diversity in all tiers of play, and we're very excited to see the experimentation being tried by so many players. Sometimes you really have to get outside of your comfort zone to find the new hotness. For those of you searching for the next support Nautilus, why not round up a group of ranked 5s buddies to experiment? This diversity dirigible (that's right, we're airborne now) isn't going anywhere.
