Regarding the Seraphine buff, Matt Leung-Harrison (@RiotPhroxzon on X) stated that,

"Finally we're doing a long awaited buff to Seraphine. I mentioned it in a post last week, but given her shallow mastery curve, we feel it's appropriate to give her a buff, because for the winrates she's posting, she's a bit underpowered."
