League of Legends Patch 26.8 Notes

What’s in this update

Let’s get groovy with Patch 26.8!

In this week’s patch we’ve got some changes to some of the more powerful picks right now like Mel and Dr. Mundo while we’re also helping out some struggling champions like Lucian and Hwei. We’ve also made some changes to help avoid players from taking unusable abilities at level 1 like Zyra and Zilean.

In other news, we’ve also got updates to ARAM, ARAM: Mayhem, and Arena, not to mention a bunch of cool and funky skins coming to the Rift this patch. Don’t forget we’ve also got an ARAM Clash coming this patch, the introduction of champion specific keybinds (a long asked for player request), and a swanky new Discord integration coming your way!
