League of Legends Patch 7.11 change list

We’re now a few weeks removed from the midseason patch, with pro play starting up in regions around the world. Now it’s time for the second post-midseason patch, further tweaking the massive changes we saw just about a month ago.

This week, three champions are getting mini reworks: Rek’Sai, Kindred and Malzahar. There are also nerfs to some consistently strong champions (Ahri, Caitlyn), buffs to underperformers (Dr. Mundo, Sion) and reverting some changes that really didn’t work out (looking at you, Renekton).

Beyond the usual group of balance changes, there are some exciting new features this week. Coming to the rift are the new 10 ban system, the arrival of item sets to the new client, and much more!

That’s only scratching the surface of what’s changing this week. 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.

Notable Fixes

We made the mastery panel smaller to allow players to see the left/right better during champ select and be able tell who’s turn it is and who they’re picking.

Overall improvements to champion select to make actions clearer.
