With Worlds 2021 quickly approaching, Riot is tiptoeing around the meta and making sure to be “extra careful” with champion changes in League of Legends Patch 11.17. That being said, the devs are continuing to make adjustments ahead of the game’s biggest event of the year.

The devs are shifting some of Lucian’s power from the mid to bot lane, tweaking Akshan, and updating Amumu in the upcoming patch. They’re also “investigating” lots of other champions and items but are being cautious while doing it.

Here are the full notes for League Patch 11.17.

Client improvements

Riot is updating the web browser at the “heart of the League client,” meaning fewer crashes, lower memory consumption, and faster performance. The changes made will also unlock the devs’ ability to make future improvements.

RP pricing updates

The devs are updating RP pricing for some regions in League and Teamfight Tactics. Starting Sept. 8, Brazil, Latin America, Russia, and Turkey will see increased prices due to exchange rates and tax changes. From Aug. 23 to Sept. 8, though, players will receive double bonus currency from all RP purchases.
