Top Preface The patch came in at the worst possible time for me so I bring this little guide done entirely on my phone.



For now I just want to be the first mention of the new information with some explanation on the side, as patch notes can be hard to digest for new players.



The information in this manual guide was taken from the 6.87 patch notes, the current game information, some of my views of how I think it will be used in matches.



Any presumed or not confirmed information will be written in bright pink, in case it may be changed, those parts can be dismissed or taken with caution.
