I was thinking the same. It's insane. I'm hoping it was a typo. KotL buffs in the same patch, too. I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a certain famous lane again.

I love the patch notes though. IceFrog knows how to balance. Some really good/interesting changes here.

Love the Legs joke on AM, too.
