Aphelios, Senna and Sett are among the champions receiving nerfs in League of Legends Patch 10.8, set for live server release Wednesday.

Aphelios' strength in the pro League of Legends scene led Riot Games to address his power curve and his ability to deal with the tanky front line threats he more typically faces in professional play.

As players get better with Senna, Riot Games has had to reduce her power level slightly. Sett, meanwhile, has managed early wave control too easily with his Haymaker (W).

Kalista, Master Yi and Varus also receive nerfs in the patch, wile Ashe, Evelynn, Orianna, Ryze, Soraka, Tristana, Urgot and Xayah receive buffs. See the full list of champion balance changes below.
