This is it, guys. The biggest patch of the year, and maybe one of the biggest patches League has ever seen. These notes are so long that my browser is lagging (and my PC isn’t a toaster).
There are so many changes to dive into here, like the uncapped leveling system that rewards you after every level, instead of after every match. Or maybe we should talk about the fact that runes got merged with masteries and they’re all free? Or maybe the fact that IP literally just doesn’t exist anymore and it was replaced with Blue Essence? Oh, man.
Some champions got big ratio changes to skills, but every champion this patch got changes to their base stats to make up for the lack of runes.
Make sure to read up on the changes and be ready. (Also, no, this isn’t the patch with Zoe.)
Check out Riot’s patch notes here and our condensed notes here.

Champ Select
We're temporarily adding 15 seconds to the "Select Loudout" part of champion select to give people more time to pick their Runes.
Uncapped Leveling
The level 30 level cap has been removed, and the new cap is… infinity!
Instead of getting IP after every game, you'll receive a capsule each time you level up. Capsules almost always contain champion shards. Exceptions to this will be on certain milestone levels such as 50, 75, 100, etc, where you can get extra goodies. When these levels are reached, you'll get exclusive rewards to show off your status in-game. These rewards include a special high-level ward skin, milestone emotes which you can upgrade using blue essence, and at very high milestone levels, maybe even a gemstone.
IP turns into Blue Essence
We're connecting the leveling and loot systems by merging IP and blue essence. The newer, bluer essence will work in all the places IP and BE worked before, including loot and the champion store. Everything in the store will cost the same as it did in the old, IP-based system—for example, a newer champ like Kayn will be 6300 BE.
Level 1 through 30
We’re shortening the time it takes to get to level 30.
Changes to boosts
IP boosts are being removed from the store. XP boosts will still be available. Any active IP boosts will get automatically converted to XP boosts.
With rewards being tied to leveling up, XP boosts helps increasing the speed you unlock content (you'll level faster, thus earn capsules faster). To reflect this, we’ll be increasing the price of XP boosts to be closer to the value of an IP boosts.
Rotating Game Mode
Claim the incredible power of Ascension to conquer the Crystal Scar of Shurima. Ascension is now live from 11/10/17 at 12:00 p.m. PT - 11/14/17 at 04:00 a.m. PT and 11/17/17 at 12:00 p.m. PT - 11/21/17 at 04:00 a.m. PT.
Go 5v5 to claim the incredible power of Ascension by taking down Ancient Ascendant Xerath. Use Ascension to conquer the Crystal Scar of Shurima.
First team to reach 200 points wins.
Go forth. Conquer. Ascend.
Ascension Changelist
You can now use Enhanced Recall from anywhere on the map while in the play space
NO HEALS :: Fountain healing is still disabled.
I JUST DIED FOR THAT :: This change enables you to shop and buy items during the game, without having to die to do it.
Runes Reforged is now available on Ascension
You can customize and select your runes, however we have swapped out some of the runes that are not compatible with Ascension by default; if you have these particular runes in your page, they will be automatically swapped for you once in game
Waterwalking
Waterwalking gives you movement speed while walking in the River, which wasn’t useful in the desert. Waterwalking will become Scorch, which allows your next ability to set the champion on fire, dealing damage.
Zombie Ward
Zombie Ward spawns a new, allied ward wherever you kill an enemy ward (or a new allied ward when your allied wards expire); however, there are no wards in Ascension… so, we’re testing out Ghost Poro. Ghost Poro allows you to summon a poro after entering a brush. The poro will stay behind and give you vision until you summon a new one, or until an enemy scares it away.
If Ghost Poro doesn’t happen, we’ll be swapping Zombie Ward out for something more useful regardless.
Minion Dematerializer
Minion Dematerializer lets you kill and absorb lane minions… if you had any! So you'll be getting Future’s Market instead. Future's Market lets you enter debt to the shopkeeper to buy items. Careful with those interest rates!
Kleptomancy
Kleptomancy lets you auto attack champions and get gold and potentially consumables. However, since we balance gold and disable consumables in Ascension, we’ve disabled this rune as well. You'll be getting Glacial Augment, which gives your auto attacks a slow effect on champions. If you slow them with an active item, it’ll freeze the ground around them for five seconds.
Demolish
Demolish allows you to make powerful attacks against turrets. The only turret that exists in Ascension is Azir’s, when Xerath is de-spawned, so we’ve disabled this rune.The one you'll be getting instead is Font of Life, which allows you to mark an enemy when you have impaired their movement. Allied champions will heal when they attack marked enemies.
Overgrowth
Overgrowth increases your maximum HP for monsters and minions dying near you, but there are no monsters or minions in Ascension. There's always Second Wind though, which allows you to heal for some amount of your missing HP after being hit by an enemy champion.
