Riot Games have released the notes for the upcoming Spectator Mode Patch. There won't be a new champion in this patch since the release of Varus is being delayed, instead the spotlight will be on the Spectator Mode which is getting some interesting new features. As usual, there will be changes made to the kits of many champions. Several champions that fill the tanky support role will receive a Magic Resist buff while Ryze will be having all of his spells tweaked. See the full patch notes below:
