League of Legends Patch 8.2 Nerfs Vayne and Evelynn, Buffs Nunu

The patch notes that are now out for League of Legends Patch 8.2 include many balance changes for dominant and underperforming champs like Evelynn, Vayne, and Jinx.

Jinx's buffs should help bring the champion back into the spotlight, or at least she'll be picked more often alongside the more dominant ADCs like Vayne and Tristana. But while there are several buffs for champions that their mains will be happy to see, most players can find relief in the fact that Evelynn and Vayne are both being nerfed with Evelynn's burst damage being described by Riot Games as "too damn high."

And with Kha'Zix being nerfed as well, one set of buffs to look out for is the one affecting Nunu. His changes give the champion a pretty significant AP boost b oth on his auto attacks and his Blood Boil (W), so expect to see him prowling through your jungle soon.
