League of Legends developer Riot Games has released patch notes for its 3.15 update, which is rolling out today from 7:30 am PST. It adds new champion Yasuo and the usual barrage of gameplay tweaks and balancing.

Riot posted the notes on its site last night, as spotted by MP1st. Here they are in full:
