A new iteration of Lux is entering the Convergence, the Woodland! It means you can now achieve the (6) Woodland, and for this reason, Riot Games added a new threshold that sounds pretty interesting. Will it be really strong enough to shape the meta? We're seriously doubting about this, but it might bring back the Hyperoll Woodland composition on the back of the scene.

Blademasters have a 40% chance to trigger additional attacks against their target. These additional attacks deal damage like Basic Attacks and trigger on-hit effects. → 35% chance
• (3) → 1
• (6) → 2
• (9) → 3
• Blademasters can no longer store more extra attacks than the maximum your trait level provides (1/2/3). In short, this means that it will be much less likely, if not impossible, for your champions to go "infinite" off their auto-attacks. Specifically, this nerfs (4) and (6) Blademaster.
• Blademaster chance to get extra auto-attacks: 40% ⇒ 35%
