    Losers queue doesn't exist We're not intentionally putting bad players on your team to make you lose more. (Even if we assumed that premise, wouldn't we want to give you good players so you stop losing?) For ranked, we match you on your rating and that's all. If you've won a

    Massive patch. Super proud of the team and helpers for rallying together to get everything in. We're being careful to not undo what we just did and are doing our best to maintain item choice, champion feel and identity, role balance, etc. A lot of work to still be done :)

    Super excited for y'all to finally see what we've been working on for the past 11 months. League isn't going anywhere and this represents the largest Preseason we've ever done. We're super proud of the Summoner's Rift Team and all of the teams who lent people and resources to

    13.19 is the Worlds patch. We're looking at a few more of the champs that are a bit weak overall and a few nerfs. Chatting about some of the notable changes... Galio: Generally pretty weak and is countered particularly hard by some of the mid-range mages in the meta. GP:

    A few changes to Off-Meta builds as well as some changes to various languishing champions. Mostly not trying to overhaul the practice environment, but addressing a few clearly weak champions and some that are outliers.

    12.18 is our final set of changes for World's. Most champions are only receiving small nudges, especially if we suspect recent changes have overshot. We've made a significant number of changes since the playoff patches, so we don't want to completely upend the meta.

    Patch 14.2! Ranked - We're making some changes to reduce how lenient tier boundary demotions are. While we think making a tier boundary is a big milestone, we also need to be demoting people more honestly to ensure the ranked system functions properly - We're also continuing to

    Lots of changes for champions this patch, our tools are a lot more stable, so we should be back to normal now! The theme of this patch is balancing ranged vs melee supp in bot lane, balancing optimal jungle pathing, addressing early snowballing & flattening some healing

    Patch Preview for 12.15! Energy Champions receiving adjustments are: Zed, Lee Sin, Akali, Kennen, Shen. These are mainly champions whose energy costs haven't kept up with the game post durability; We like where Kennen's energy costs are, so we're buffing something else instead

    12.16! The first of our World's focused patches. Since some Leagues are still qualifying for Worlds on this patch, we're holding the more speculative changes for 12.17. Looking to tap down a few outliers and bump up others, with Diana nerfs to tank and buffs to AP builds

    Yuumi is going Live in 13.5. We want Yuumi to be a great champion to bring a new friend into the game (and also a great duo experience generally) and weโ€™re making changes to our outdated pricing model this patch to reflect this philosophy (she will be 450 BE now).

    Overall: Overall, we're pretty happy with how the patch has landed. - No critical bugs (there's a few bugs with Rift Herald, Hwei, etc. that we're fixing) - Balance is decent (no champion moved more than 4% in either direction) Shoutout to QA, Engineering in particular for

    MSI Patch 13.8! The meta is looking pretty good overall. We're adding a few more champs into the Jungle meta and addressing some weak/strong outliers for Solo Q (ASol, J4, Garen, Janna). Kha'Zix changes from W evolve to Q landed well, but he needs a little more power

    Patch 12.20! Buffing Rammus, because he went down a lot after a change to how his W calculates. Small buffs to others in the list. Blitz JG changes are a buff, but he needs a decent tap down for Supp. Aatrox is still too strong after Eclipse changes, so tapping him down
