Discoveries at the LHC besides the Higgs boson?

I feel like 10 years ago every scientist said that the LHC would revolutionize our view of the universe, yet the only major discovery in the mainstream news was the Higgs boson.

Are there any more major discoveries that may shape our view of the universe or were the expectations too big and there were no huge, interesting discoveries?

There's the entire heavy ion program which is used to study nuclear matter at high temperatures and densities, which melts into a fluid and is the state of matter that filled the universe in the first microsecond. Unlike HEP it's less focused on trying to find rare types of events and more about measuring the properties of things we already know exist. As a result it's not as likely to grab big headlines but there is a lot of science being done there.
