League of Legends patch 7.3 change list

The newest patch focuses on pro play balance.

Riot Games

We’re moving along in the League of Legends Season 7 patch cycle, with the third patch of the season (7.3) arriving Wednesday. This one’s focused more on pro play than previous patches, with nerfs for the “Three OPs” (Camille, Rengar, LeBlanc) and a few other champions who have been ever-present across most regions (Jayce, Kha’Zix, Malzahar, Zyra). There are also some buffs for Vladimir and Tristana, because why not!

Below are just the changes: if you want more context, read the full patch notes here. For just a summary of the five most important things, click here.

League Client Update

[NEW] SICK (CPU) GAINS :: Enabling Low-Spec mode now automatically closes the client once you've made it through champ select, letting your machine focus on the match at hand. Low-Spec mode will take a few extra seconds to get to the end-of-game screen - that’s because the client has to start itself back up.

[NEW] PATRIOTIC FLAGS HELL YEAH :: We’ve added animated banners to the lobby. They are extra flappy and windblown, the way banners should be. We'll keep shipping more visual upgrades over the next few patches while making sure we’re not sacrificing performance.

[NEW] END-OF-GAME RIGHT CLICK GOODIES :: You can now right-click on others' names on the end of game screen to add them as a friend, block them, or view their profile.

[NEW] TREMENDOUS NEWS :: The “NEWS” tab is now live in the updated client. This will act as a hub for players to catch up on the latest League news, community creations, and miserably long roundtable videos from within the client.

Notable fixes

  • Fixed a bug preventing champ select chat from automatically scrolling down as new messages arrived
  • Fixed a bug where pasting a really long URL into chat extended the chat window over the friends list
  • Fixed a bug causing the main window to highlight in the task bar instead of the chat window when you received a message in pop out chat
  • We made some various changes to the chat message window to make it easier to read, including adding a gradient behind active messages and adding summoner icons beside your friends' names.
  • Last patch we began allowing your conversation with your friends to follow you from the lobby into champ select (and back out if someone dodged). This message history is visible only to your party (not to new players that join in champ select). This isn't a bug—we just don't want you to lose track of your conversation.

Practice Tool

Practice Tool will be rolling out region-by-region on the updated client later during patch 7.3!

Rotating Game Modes

The Hunt of the Blood Moon looms into rotation from 2/10/17 - 2/14/17 and 2/17/17 - 2/21/17. Sacrifice Spirits, Demon Heralds, and enemy champions to gain points and the Demon Brand buff, which turns you invisible to hunt down your enemies.

Only 20 of the most vicious champions are available for the Hunt (10 of which will be lurking in the Free to Play rotation).
