Riot made another behind-the-scenes pass over champion-specific Augment pools after players reported mismatched options, such as AP-focused choices on Vayne. The stated goal is more relevant and exciting offers for each champion.

Bugfixes
Seven fixes stop item damage from triggering upgraded Ravenous Hydra cleave; restore En Passant with multiple teammates; close three Ultra Hydra exploits involving 
Viego, Hydra resales, and stacked Ravenous Hydras; correct Clown College's critical scaling; and stop Rite of Ascension from sealing upgraded abilities.
