League of Legends 11.17 Patch Notes

The latest patch for League of Legends arrived on August 25^th and brought along bug fixes to Ashkan and Viego. At the same time, new buffs have made their way to Ekko, Evelynn, and Senna among others. The new update also adds a bunch of new Crime City Nightmare skins available from August 26^th.

Champion changes

While they've been more or less conservative with their nerfs and buffs this time around, Riot are going all in on their champion adjustments in Patch 11.17.

Taking a look at Amumu, the teary-eyed mummy gets a game-changing update to his kit, giving his Bandage Toss an extra charge. Lucians’ tenure on mid-lane also seems to be a thing of the past, as Riot looks to move him back down towards bot with a string of ability adjustments.
