League of Legends Patch 7.20 change list

This is the one with Evelynn!

By Julia Lee@hardykiwis Oct 10, 2017, 2:04pm EDT

This week’s patch is a bit smaller when it comes to balance than what we’ve seen before, but it does still come with lots of hot new content!

Evelynn’s much awaited rework finally releases with this patch, so make sure you’re up to date with her kit. Ornn is also seeing even more changes.

Emotes also launch in NA and other regions with this patch! They were already out in OCE, but now everyone else gets to join in on that fun. Make sure to equip all your emotes before jumping into a game so you can spam silly poros!

The Ancient Coin line now gives less mana on blue coin drops, and Spellthief’s Edge now gives a bit more AP.

You can take a look at Riot’s full patch notes here, or read our condensed notes here.

Now if you excuse me, I have some new Evelynn to play.

Emotes

Everyone will receive a free Thumbs Up emote to celebrate launch!

Please emote responsibly.

Collection

CHANGE YOUR LOADOUT :: Equip your emotes to your emote wheel in the Collections tab. The emote wheel has five slots, with two extra slots for emotes that will automatically flash at the start of the game and at the end of a win.

Emoting

LET ‘EM KNOW :: Use the emote wheel in game (bound to T by default)

YOU ARE NOW ON MY IGNORE LIST :: “Mute Enemy Emotes” option added to the menu. You can also mute individual player’s emotes in game using the scoreboard.

MASTERY MUTING :: Champion Mastery emoting is becoming part of the emotes system, so muting emotes will also mute mastery emotes. Mastery emotes will also follow the spamming/breaking rules of emotes.

Store

YOU’VE EARNED IT :: Everyone gets the Thumbs Up emote!

GET ALL THE FEELS :: Expand your collection by purchasing emotes from the store’s Emotes tab. There will be 25 emotes available at launch, but we’ll be continually adding more.

Champions

Evelynn

Evelynn, Agony’s Embrace, will be updated with the launch of patch 7.20!

Brand

Brand gets mana when he kills an Ablaze unit.

Passive - Blaze

[NEW] KINDLING :: Brand gains 6/8/10/12/14/16/18 mana (at levels 1/3/6/9/12/15/18) when he kills a unit afflicted by Blaze. (If Brand’s abilities instantly kill a unit before Blaze is applied, he doesn’t get mana back.)

Ornn

W deals max health damage instead of current health. E more reliably hits terrain. R reactivation no longer has a cast time.

Azir

General

SANDY VISUALS :: VFX for Azir’s attack speed bonus upon summoning a third soldier have been improved for Azir’s base and all skins

W - Seismic Shove

INDICATOR :: Cast indicator adjusted to show the shove’s area of effect rather than only the direction of the shove

Mid-Patch 7.19 Janna Updates

Ancient Coin Line

Krugs

ROCK POLISH :: Smoothed out Krugs’ splitting animation.

Spell Shields

Followup to last patch’s switchover to our new spell shield code.

BUGFIXES :: Fixed a group of identical bugs where some channeled abilities (ex. Anivia’s R - Glacial Storm) were being interrupted through spell shields

Honor

Charity Voting Hub

Vote for your preferred charity in the “Vote for charity” client tab.

We’re raising money for three global charities (and the Worlds prize pool) with sales of Championship Ashe and the the 2017 Championship ward skin. Hop in client and vote for your preferred cause. The winner gets 50% of the charity pool and the other two split the remainder. Your vote is weighted by your Honor level!

I VOTED :: Vote for your preferred charity the new “Vote for charity” client hub before Worlds wraps up

HONOR MULTIPLIER :: Honorable play adds some oomph to your democratic rights

Honor level 3 and below: 1x vote power multiplier

Honor level 4: 1.5x vote power multiplier

Honor level 5: 2x vote power multiplier

End of Game Screen

In regular, not-for-charity Honor voting, we wanted to make it more clear when teammates hadn’t voted yet at the end of game so you don’t wait for Honor that won’t ever come.

WAS IT GG OR GG <3 :: On the right side of the end-of-game screen, you can now see if any teammates are still voting for honor

Champion Select

SIMULTANEOUS DRAFT PICK :: Two players on the same team can pick at the same time if they’d normally pick consecutively

Item Set Sharing

Item sets can now be imported and exported.

Exporting

THIS OR THAT :: Clicking the export button lets you choose between “Copy to clipboard” and “Export to file”

MASS PRODUCTION :: Mass-export item sets via the Items tab by ticking the checkbox next to as many item sets as you’d like. “Copy to clipboard” copies data for all selected item sets, and “Export to file” creates a single file containing all selected item sets.

COMING IN HOT :: Individual item sets can also be exported via the item set editor screen

WHO PUTS ZHONYA’S ON 4?! :: Preferred item slot assignments aren’t saved when exporting item sets

Importing

THAT OR THIS :: Clicking the import button on the Items tab lets you choose between “Paste copied set” and “Select a file”

EAT PASTE :: “Paste copied set” opens a small text box next to the Import button. Item sets import automatically as soon as you paste in your data.

NOT MALWARE :: Clicking “Select a file” opens your computer’s file browser. Don’t get spooked!

Rotating Game Mode

Dark Star: Singularity runs from 10/13/17 at 12:00 p.m. PT to 10/17/17 at 4:00 a.m. PT and 10/20/17 at 12:00 p.m. PT to 10/24/17 at 4:00 a.m. PT. Play as Dark Star Thresh in a 3v3 match on the Cosmic Ruins, which features a Dark Star Thresh announcer and chilling music.

Hook or Flay opposing players and Abyss Scuttlers into the black hole in the center of the map to gain points.

You’ll fly further the more damage you’ve taken, but you can’t die from health loss.

The first team to 100 points wins the round, and the first team to win two rounds wins the game.

ARAM Battle Boosts

Battle boosts will be temporarily unavailable while we work on some backend adjustments to ARAM. We’ll turn these back on a few patches from now.

UN-BOOSTED :: ARAM battle boosts are temporarily disabled
