    Patch Preview for 12.4! Some pretty fun buffs and nerfs coming through, any champs we missed? As an aside, we're still watching fighter items to see if they need any adjustments but there's nothing immediate there.

    Hey all!  We're replacing Sanguine Blade with Hullbreaker, a broader item that'll be tempting for AD splitpushers.  It's going to ship 11.13 and you should see it on PBE tomorrow. As always we're glad to hear any feedback on the item! Shoutout to @SrRafles with the great VFX!

    12.8 with all the content! We've pulled a few things from this patch either for more time or after reconsiderations. Pretty fun patch I'd say! Numbers are definitely subject to further change Also remember 12.8 is the MSI patch so no more changes coming for the pro game there

    Hey all! Patch preview for 12.10, the champ durability update. More context in followup tweets and the patch notes themselves. The TLDR is this is a pretty disruptive patch and we'll be watching closely and ready to react. I'd love to know what y'all think about this patch! 1/5

    Since @RiotPhroxzon is out this week I've got your patch update! For champions we're still mostly looking at soloq outliers as we head toward season start (10th). We're also buffing up a number of underpowered items and adjusting Jak'Sho to make it less valuable on fighters.

    Hey all! Pretty interesting patch coming your way. We're adjusting the fighter system to be less health skewed (more info tomorrow). We've also got some changes for pro champs and Ahri among others! If you missed it, Chem Terrain was disabled in a hotfix today. Whatcha think?

    11.24b preview coming in hot! This will be a micropatch Wednesday focused on anything we don't want to let sit over the holidays. It's the last patch of the year! We've definitely got more changes on our radar than the ones in this patch, but those will be for 12.1 next year.

    Hey hey, it's 12.5b preview time! 12.5b is the scheduled micropatch we're putting out Wednesday to do some balance adjustments before the longer break. We'll also be swapping the patch preview around between me and a few other people on the team starting the next few patches.

    Patch Preview time! Because I know y'all will be curious: We're buffing the wind brothers because they suffered substantially from the Shieldbow changes and dropped to around 47.5% winrate each, a fair bit lower than intended and lower than the other Shieldbow bound champs.

    Hey all! 11.24 Patch Preview coming in hot. Mainly system changes as we follow up on preseason patch but we've got a few champions sprinkled in too. We're still watching bounties/other systems/other champions but no changes this patch for them.

    Patch 11.22 Preview! Goredrinker nerfs overshot a bit so we're adding a tad more power back into it. Riven and Red Kayn were hit unusually hard by the Gore nerfs and we don't expect them to recoup much power with these Gore buffs alone.

    12.2 Preview with stuff! Samira's new to this list, same reason as the💨bros. It's a meaty patch for sure, what are y'alls thoughts on it?
