Olaf
  • Ragnarok (R) active now includes "Olaf also receives a 50/60/70% Movement Speed bonus towards enemies for 1 second."
  • [Note: This movement speed bonus only applies for 1 second total, not for the duration of the active.]

  • Rapid Fire (Q) tooltip reverted to no longer mentioning doubling the E cooldown effect when attacking  towers

Minions
Super Minions
  • Super Minions no longer benefit from their own Minion Commander buff  (+70% damage and +70 armor/MR) but their base stats have been increased to compensate. No actual change here.
  • [Note: This is bugged at the moment and the aura is not buffing normal minions. Once this bug is fixed there will be no actual change in gameplay, Just how it is displayed. Reinboom with more context.]
