League of Legends patch 11.18 official notes: Fizz adjustments, Dr. Mundo buffs, and new Pentakill skins

League of Legends patch 11.18 is gearing up to be quite a big one, as Riot is seeking to bring in a significant number of meta changes ahead of the 2021 Worlds Championship.

Champions like Fizz, Qiyana, and Lillia will be receiving a lot of tweaks and adjustments to their kit this time around. While Soraka, Dr. Mundo, Kai’Sa, and Taliyah have received some significant quality of life updates.

Moreover, when it comes to the nerfs, Trundle, Renekton, and Aphelios will have their names on the list, and will be toned down in patch 11.18.

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 highlights.

“Very few players use our official match history site, and we’re okay with that,” Riot’s comms lead Paul Perscheid said. “Web match history is in a similar situation as Clubs was: Community sites have done amazing things with the match data provided by our APIs, far surpassing our site. So, as with Clubs, we’re going to fully hand things over to these experts.”

But in-client match history will still be available.
