Surrender at 20: Patch Notes for v1.0.0.118

Here are the notes for today's patch. A lot of changes here that we new ahead of time from the Patch Preview, but none the less worth a look over.

It like the slight buffs to Lee Sin, rolling back of the Malphite passive changes pushed out a few patches ago, and the Rod of Ages changes. Catalyst certainly got hit with a strong nerf, but I will no longer lament upgrading it into a better item mid game.

League of Legends will be updated during scheduled maintenance on 5/10/2011 from 1:30AM until 9:00AM PST

League of Legends v1.0.0.118
Vayne, The Night Hunter

Night Hunter (Passive): Vayne ruthlessly hunts evil-doers. She gains bonus Movement Speed when moving toward nearby enemy champions.

Tumble: Vayne tumbles, maneuvering to carefully place her next shot. She rolls toward the cursor and her next attack deals bonus damage.

Silver Bolts: Vayne tips her bolts with a rare metal, toxic to evil things. The third consecutive attack or ability against the same target deals a percentage of the target's maximum Health as bonus true damage. (Max damage vs. Monsters is capped)

Condemn: Vayne draws a heavy crossbow from her back, and fires a huge bolt at her target, dealing damage and knocking them back. If they collide with terrain, they are impaled, dealing bonus damage and stunning them.

Final Hour (Ultimate): Readying herself for an epic confrontation, Vayne gains increased Attack Damage, stealth during Tumble, and quadruple the bonus Movement Speed from Night Hunter.
