League of Legends patch 11.2 official notes introduces Viego along with massive champion and item updates

League of Legends’ patch 11.2 official notes is finally out, and it brings an incredible number of changes with the new update.

The latest champion Viego, the Ruined King, will finally be introduced with League of Legends patch 11.2, and he will primarily be the new jungler in the roster.

Additionally, to balance much of the changes that the item system received with patch 10.23 Riot will be looking to bring a lot of tweaks to many champions.

Some of the Mythic Items, along with the more standard ones, will be going through a lot of changes as well. It's safe to say that this will give rise to a completely new meta in League of Legends.

Players looking for a detailed description of League of Legends patch 11.2 can go to Riot’s official website.

But for a brief overview, here are the important highlights coming in the new update.

League of Legends patch 11.2 official notes

#1. League of Legends Champions

[New] Viego

Passive – Sovereign’s Domination

• Viego can temporarily possess enemy champions he helps kill, healing for a portion of their max health. During possession, Viego’s items, attacks, and non-ultimate abilities become those of his slain enemy’s, and he gains a free cast of his own ultimate, Heartbreaker. While possessing an enemy, Viego also gets bonus movement speed when moving toward enemy champions

Q – Blade of the Ruined King

• Passive: Viego’s attacks deal a percent of the target’s current health as bonus damage on-hit. When Viego attacks an enemy he recently hit with an ability, the attack strikes twice. The second strike siphons health from the target instead of dealing regular damage, but still applies on-hit effects and can critically strike. This passive is maintained during possession
• Active: Viego stabs forward with his blade, damaging all enemies hit

W – Spectral Maw

• Viego charges up and then dashes forward, hurling a blast of mist that stuns and damages the first enemy hit. Stun duration and mist range increase with charge time, damage and dash range don’t

E – Harrowed Path

• Viego spreads a wave of Black Mist around a nearby wall. While in the mist, Viego becomes Camouflaged and gains Attack Speed and Movement Speed

R – Heartbreaker

• Viego discards any bodies he is currently possessing and teleports forward, attacking the enemy champion in range with the lowest percent health and dealing bonus damage based on their missing health. Other enemies in range are knocked away
