League Patch 26.16: Roaming Support Nerfs & Classic Launch

Major Role & Support Adjustments
This patch hits early support roaming hard by increasing penalties for leaving bot lane and rewarding lane presence instead. ADCs also get a universal Magic Resistance bump to help them survive the current mage-heavy bot lane meta.
Detailed Tweaks & Features
- Jungle Diversity: Jungle pets get buffed scaling to boost AP and Tank junglers.
- Classic Launch: League Classic is now live with original mechanics and legacy balance.
- Fighter Rebalance: Sundered Sky gets a necessary nerf while items like Black Cleaver and Sterak's see buffs.
Stat Shifts
- Sundered Sky Healing:
🔴100% (Melee) / 50% (Ranged) ➔ 90% (Melee) / 45% (Ranged) - ADC Magic Resistance: 30 + 1.3/lvl ➔
🟢33 + 1.1/lvl
Numerous minor bug fixes have also been implemented for items and abilities. These sweeping changes aim to stabilize bot lane and revive the long-neglected tank jungle playstyle.
