Conclusion
Light patch overall, probably because of the new items. Don't expect too many changes to the meta.
Nitro reroll was already trending upwards and may be even better now with the Kindred buff
LeBlanc reroll could be worth trying
Rengar reroll was already okay and may be worth playing even more now if you don't have many Street Demon players in your lobby
The main thing to watch is the new items -- keep an eye on their stats here!
