Riot are planning some huge Viego nerfs for 11.17, including tweaks for his healing passive, auto-attacks, Q, E, and “Heartbreaker” ultimate.
The main aim, #LeagueOfLegends devs have said, is to “drain power” from the Ruined King's resets.

Other Champion Changes
- LUCIAN: Riot introduces a new passive called “Vigilance” that grants Lucian bigger alliance buffs. Additionally, it will lower mana rates for his W ability, and damage-based adjustments to his Culling ultimate.
- AMUMU: Riot wants to grant him a “well-deserved” power increase to cheer up the sorrowful mummy. When 11.17 is released Amumu’s Q skill, Bandage Toss, will now have 2 charges.

The Gloomy Mage: Vex
- The Gloomy Mage might be Yuumi’s missing maestro, according to a widely known League myth. The yordle vanished after teleporting to a scary place with the Book of Thresholds.
- Riot teased that the melancholy sorcerer might prefer to be isolated in the beginning. A gateway beyond Bandle City to the Shadow Isles, similar to one that the Book of Thresholds might unlock, is in the imagery. The champ’s appearance and possibly mythology, has changed mildly since then. READ MORE..
