⚙Adjusted in Patch 2.1.67 — To balance Layla's relatively weak early-game laning as a Marksman, we've enhanced her early-game durability. As she lacks movement skills, we have increased her base Movement Speed. We have also reduced her late-game physical attack growth and increased her low Mana Cost for balance.
