It’s been just a few days since the Lol Patch 26.4 came out, but we have information about the upcoming update. Matt Leung-Harrison shared a few interesting changes on Twitter, so let’s dive deep into them.
LoL Patch 26.5 Overview
Just a few days after League of Legends Patch 26.4, we have the first information about the latest patch. According to Matt Leung-Harrison, the ranked WEU test will be delayed for another day. Riot will be playing it safe to land the changes without breaking anything.
In terms of champion changes, the tweet has the following information:
- Volibear – The changes will be targeted at balancing out his AD builds (Riot believes his current state is too good).
- Lillia – Riot will be pulling back on some of the previous changes and bring Lillia’s power level to the pre-26.4 LoL Patch
- Orianna – The newest changes will reduce the power level of her early laning phase.
- Neeko – Riot will be making the necessary changes to make the champion strong in regular play. Currently, he is a popular pick only in pro games.
- Varus – It seems like Riot believes that Varus was “overbuffed” a while ago, especially when it comes to his Q damage. As a result, the League of Legends Patch 26.4 will rever these changes. He will be receiving some nerfs in roi games as well.
Other Changes
As with most LoL Patch previews, the information usually focuses only on the upcoming champion changes. Considering what happens with every LoL update, however, we can expect to see the usual ARAM Mayhem, Arena, and cosmetic changes. The latter should be even more interesting than before because spring is arriving soon and Riot may decide to release some special options for it.
