Welcome to patch 5.9 - the one where we ship some new behind-the-scenes changes (check out that new attack move functionality and changes to combat text), deliver a sparkling new Ashe champion update, trade Cinderhulk's champion-chewing power for jungle-clearing fire, and dole out some balance tweaks in the name of champion diversity. There it is.
First, some new attack move functionality and changes to combat text. You might have noticed us taking more of an interest in refining League's background code, UI, and general usability. This might come with some additional pain (hello Quick Cast with Range Indicators), but sometimes you gotta make a mess before you can actually see what needs to be cleaned. Something like that. We have a lot of context for both, so please be sure to read up!
Second: Ashe's champion update. Check her out! We could say that's about it, but one thing we can add is we really wanted to solidify Ashe as the utility markswoman of League of Legends, so interpret our changes in that direction (there's also the addition of a little more depth and counterplay, but that should always be the case).
Third, and we'll go for a combination plate here: Cinderhulk and champion diversity. It's not to say that this entire patch is about Cinderhulk as it relates to champion diversity; rather, one (Cinderhulk) feeds into the other (Champion Diversity). We also have a slew of other changes that are just for the latter. Check out the individual contexts for Akali, Olaf, Trundle, Xin Zhao, et al, for more information, but the short story is that we want all champions to have strategic viability in the League of Legends ecosystem, and we're working hard to ensure this is a reality.
Final note, we're having a lot of fun saying diversity dirigible, so that may be where we stay in terms of design transportation. Just saying."
Yea I know they've released him in PBE but I'm asking in normal regions. >.>

you asked where ekko was even though he wasent even on the pbe before the 5.9 patch so how could he possibly be in 5.9 is what im saying <.>
Waw i was hoping for Ekko so much ;(
I find the attack move hard to use because I don't play adc a lot ;_
Riot should of implemented these things in the tutorials when you first play league
otherwise you just get into a habit of buying thornail on ashe ;_
