League of Legends patch 11.10 official notes introduce massive Junge updates along with buffs to Kayle and Talon nerfs

League of Legends patch 11.10 isn't going to be a big one in terms of champion updates. However, Riot is looking to bring in extensive changes to the jungle to make it more accessible.

The jungle has been one of the least sought-after roles in League of Legends season 11, and the devs will be looking to change that with this update.

When it comes to champion updates, Kennen and Kayle will be getting some buffs, while Katarina, Talon, and Darius get some nerfs to their kit.

League of Legends fans looking for a detailed description of the patch can look up Riot’s official website.

However, for a brief overview, here are all the major updates.

#4. Jungle update

Riot is making some changes to the jungle in Patch 11.10. The devs are “relaxing” camp timers to allow for “more leniency” on pathing through the jungle. Historically, Riot has pushed “PvE prowess,” where the priority is to farm fast to get ahead of the experience curve in the jungle. But this can often lead to players falling behind. The changes in Patch 11.10 aim to counter this.

The devs are also reinstituting an “improved version” of the comeback experience, which kicks in when a jungler is significantly behind in the game. This should help limit the number of games that feel out of hand for a struggling jungler with no path to recovery.

A. Jungle timers and camp gold

Even the fastest clearing junglers have little to no downtime between finishing one camp from the next, according to Riot. The devs’ original intent for this “aggressive respawn timing” was that there’s always an opportunity cost to taking any other action on the map. But the problem with this is junglers never feel like they’ve finished farming and windows to set up ganks are “far few in between.” To combat this, Riot is walking back camp timer respawns from last year’s preseason and matching camp indicators to how players “intuitively play around them.”

• Camp respawn timer: Two minutes to two minutes 15 seconds
• Camp respawn glowing indicator: 15 seconds before camp spawns to 10 seconds before camp spawns

B. Comeback experience

Setting a jungler behind is usually a team effort resulting from several variables. It’s not just the enemy jungler clearing faster or counter-jungling, according to Riot. The result of falling behind in the jungle has far greater consequences than falling behind in lane.

Riot has introduced a new comeback experience mechanic in Patch 11.10 to give junglers a helping hand. This will only really apply in the “most dire of circumstances.” It won’t make struggling junglers as strong as they would have been if they had never fallen behind in the first place, but it will make a difference.

• New effect: Large and epic monsters will grant 50 XP per level below the average level of all players in the game minus one.

C. Smite

Riot is adding some quality-of-life buffs to Smite. Players will no longer have to check their Smite tooltip or buff bar when approaching an epic monster in Patch 11.10. This should make players more equipped to secure objectives.

• New: Unsealed Spellbook swap Smite damage: Smite damage now increases after swapping summoner spells twice
• New: Smite and any crowd control now breaks Rift Scuttle’s shield before applying damage

D. Survivability

Putting omnivamp on jungle items in the preseason, as well as improving clarity, has skewed toward benefiting champions who could clear fast and use the bonus as a health battery as the game went on. Riot is “pulling power” out of omnivamp while increasing the flat restore players get from Smite and reducing jungle camp damage across the board. This should cater to jungle champions that aren’t able to instantly clear a camp.

• Omnivamp on jungle items: 10 percent to eight percent
• Smite heal from max health: 10 percent to 15 percent

E. Jungle monster camp changes

To top off the jungle changes in Patch 11.10, Riot is adjusting specific jungle camps based on the devs’ “overarching goals.”

1. Reduce incoming damage from jungle camps to offset the reduced healing from omnivamp
2. Change jungle monsters’ health to offset the higher Smite damage
3. Change gold values to offset income lost by spawn timers

F. Jungle camp attack damage

• Blue Sentinel: 82 to 303 (levels one to 18) to 78 to 234 (levels one to 18)
• Red Brambleback: 82 to 303 (levels one to 18) to 78 to 234 (levels one to 18)
