The Gods of Runeterra heard our complaints and Aphelios the Edgy is receiving the nerf he deserved. The champion itself doesn't appear to be that strong, but his ultimate was certainly the subject of our sorrows.
The Weapon of the Faithful isn't the only champion on the changelist, and while we were expecting a lot of nerfs, it appears that Riot decided to bring some buffs in the Rift.
