NEW

NEW CHAMPIONS

ZILEAN, THE CHRONOKEEPER 

Once a member of Icathia’s governing council, Zilean is a prodigious elemental mage who seeks mastery over time itself. After using his powers in an attempt to save his people from the Void, he now drifts through the past, present, and future, bending and warping the flow of time around him. Zilean has traveled from Runeterra’s mysterious creation, all the way to its seemingly inevitable ending, searching tirelessly for any strand of fate that might undo his homeland’s destruction.

Zilean will be released on June 13 at 00:01 UTC

CHAMPION CHANGES

Welcome to Patch 6.1d! In this patch we have our Ambessa rework as well as a mini one for Fiora. Additionally, we’re continuing to keep an eye on the jungle and want to give a few more champions some buffs to help them be more viable picks, like Darius and Jax. Additionally we know that some of our other junglers have been struggling to keep up, so we’re also giving a handful of buffs to Nunu & Willump, Fiddlesticks, Pantheon, and Diana. With Fiddlesticks and Nunu & Willump getting some attention this patch, keep an extra eye out for a scarecrow in the bush or the wild snowball gank. To round things out, we’ve also got a few buffs for some mid laners and dragon laners who needed an extra boost, and we’re nerfing some of the champions that have been doing scary amounts of damage (looking at you, Nocturne; you’re scary enough as is).

AMBESSA

In the current patch, Ambessa’s late-game cleanup and passive damage exceed reasonable counterplay, drifting off from her core design of precise positioning to trigger her passive. We're removing her passive refresh mechanic and shifting part of the damage into her first ability’s burst for better fight rhythm, while adding armor penetration and ability vamp to balance the tradeoff, plus her second ability gains new outplay depth.

FIORA

En Garde! We’ve reworked the Duelist’s weak spot mechanic to allow frequent weak spot hits in late-game teamfights. The passive now marks enemies’ vital points more quickly, and the ultimate removes the activation delay— now Fiora is able to break vital points immediately. The movement speed of Lunge also now scales with move speed, increasing flexibility after multiple vital hits. The range for targeting vitals has been increased, and you can now select neutral temporary targets.
