League of Legends Update 10.6 is now live. The latest update finally adds the rework of Wukong. Multiple other operators have been tweaked for balancing reasons as well. The patch changes how queuing works and some minor bugs have also been fixed.

Anivia's Glacial Storm ability has been buffed, and now her Iced duration will last three seconds instead of two seconds. Kayn's orb gain speed has also been increased by 15 percent, but this buff will only happen after 10-13 minutes have passed. Veigar's attack damage and armor have been buffed a little. Shen's Twilight Assault Maximum monster damage is also increased to 120/140/160/180/200. Finally, Zyra’s plants will now do 150 percent damage to monster enemies.

You can read all buffs and nerfs below, or check out the full patch notes on the official site.

Jungle Champions

Continuing with a third round of changes to diversify and widen the jungle champion pool. You'll notice that Morgana is getting a specific change to have her be viable in the jungle along buffs to her main roles. We're monitoring the effect of these changes to assure that they're not overwhelmingly affecting anything at the higher rungs of the skill ladder while also confirming that they are in fact fostering more diverse picks.
