Oh, such a blessing to encounter you here dear reader!
17.2 is packed with content, from the re-introduction of Opening Encounters to the new God Blessings and Augments, and our typical collection of balance changes—there's a lot, so let's not waste time with this run-on sentence here and instead let's hop right in!

17.2 APRIL 29TH MID-PATCH UPDATE
We're following up fast on a few bugs and while we're at it we added a few changes to some balance outliers from 17.2.
GOD OFFERINGS
Pandora's Seat is a hot commodity when it comes early, and a God to avoid when it's not there on time. We're making sure the seat's there only when you want to be seated, while lowering this hot seat's frequency so you can stand (or sit) with other God's or Thresh Boons more often instead.
- Thresh's Pandora's Seat Frequency Reduced, Moved to Stage 3 Only
AUGMENTS
While Shieldmaiden released a bit too strong, our new maiden-less Champion Augments have been suffering from more than just loneliness.
Heart of the Swarm released with a bug making it a dead Augment. Our Heart goes out to the Apex Primordian as we temporarily disabled it to fix it up for next patch.
- Heart of the Swarm (Primordian) Disabled due to a bug
- Heat Death (Mordekaiser) Shield Amount: 175/200/250 AP ⇒ 225/250/300 AP
- New Recruit Number of Four-costs: 3 ⇒ 1
- Self-Destruct (Gragas) Health Cost: 30% ⇒ 20%, Reduction per Hex: 55% ⇒ 45%
- Shieldmaiden (Leona) Ability Damage AD: 110/165/250 AD ⇒ 90/135/225 AD
TRAITS
Timebreaker is a fun splashable resource system, but its power on Stage 2 and 3 made it a bit too strong.
- Timebreaker XP Per Stage (2-6): 2/3/4/4/4 ⇒ 1/2/2/3/4, Rerolls Per Stage (2-6): 1/2/2/3/3 ⇒ 1/1/2/2/3
UNITS
Four and five-cost comps have gotten a lot better with 17.2, but some one-cost reroll comps are just too consistent and continue to roll through higher cost boards with their momentum.
- Briar Ability Damage: 130/195/320 AD ⇒ 120/180/285 AD
- Leona Shield: 420/500/685 AP ⇒ 420/480/620 AP
- Jax Shield Amount: 400/500/625 AP ⇒ 400/470/550 AP
BUG FIXES
- Fixed instances where Blitzcrank could revive enemy champions when casting his spell.
- Master Yi's dash is no longer slower than intended.
- Fixed some instances where Master Yi's dash logic would cause him to target the incorrect champion.
- Fixed a bug with Kayle's Craftmanship where gold was gained for every item reforged rather than every Reforger used
- Fixed a bug where Varus' Starcrossed Blessing would last longer than intended.
- Flexible and Climb the Ladder augments no longer count summons.

AUGMENT DISTRIBUTION
With Opening Encounters adding more opportunities for variable and exciting Augment distributions, and fresh starts, we're lowering the frequency of our higher-power Augments to move them back to what they were with in Lore & Legends.
