League of Legends update 3.15 adds Yasuo, patch notes inside

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:

• Fixed a rare bug where the matchmaker would create imbalanced matches when a player had been in the queue for very long periods of time
