What’s new in League of Legends patch 11.17?
Viego to finally cop nerfs
Since his appearance in 11.2, the Ruined King has polarised League of Legends players. Viego is a hugely popular character (he still has a 13.63% play rate months after his release), but his dominance in ranked and pro play — where he has a whopping 77.5% presence — has irritated some.
Riot is finally nerfing him after fifteen patches.
These long-awaited adjustments will be released in League of Legends patch 11.17, and they will include significant nerfs to his healing passive, Q, E, ultimate, and other abilities.
Lucian’s time in mid lane is up.
On August 10, Riot revealed planned Lucian changes. There’s a new passive called “Vigilance” that grants the marksman bigger ally boosts, lower mana costs for his W ability, and damage-based modifications to his Culling ultimate.
The ADC’s stats have been tweaked slightly as well.
Lucian’s two signature abilities, “Piercing Light” (Q) and “Relentless Pursuit” (E), will not be included in the League of Legends patch 11.17 modifications.
Crime City, Phoenix skins revealed
Riot Games is releasing five “Crime City” cosmetics and three “Phoenix” skins in the forthcoming League of Legends update.
The Phoenix skins are new, while the Crime City skins are part of an ever-growing array of Mafia-themed cosmetics in the game. These are labelled Divine, Graceful, and Brave, and appear to be the beginning of a new Runeterra alternate-universe set.
Here are all of the new League of Legends skins:
- Crime City Nightmare
- Akali — 1350 RP
- Darius — 1350 RP
- Shaco — 1350 RP
- Twisted Fate — 1350 RP
- Zyra — 1350 RP
- Divine Phoenix Anivia — 1350 RP
- Graceful Phoenix Seraphine — 1350 RP
- Brave Phoenix Xayah — 1350 RP
Amumu is getting some big changes in League Of Legends patch 11.17.
Amumu’s career as a jungler in League of Legends Season 11 has seen its ups and downs. At higher levels of play, his power is currently lacklustre. With a win rate of 43.61 percent above Platinum, he has the lowest win rate of all junglers.
Changes are on the way for Amumu fans; the designers plan to give him a “well-deserved” power boost, making the sad mummy a little happier.
Amumu’s classic Q ability, Bandage Toss, will now have two charges once League of Legends patch 11.17 is released, according to balance dev Jeevun Sidhu.
