Patch Overview
Patch Highlights
- Prestige Magma Chamber Jax and Prestige Magma Chamber Veigar arrive on July 29, 2026.
League of Legends Classic
- League Classic brings 60 champions with early-era gameplay and items, putting strategy and meaningful consequences ahead of modern mechanical complexity.
Ranked Season 3 Start
- Season 3 starts July 29 at noon local server time; the 15-win Victorious Ranked Mission refreshes and Season 2 rewards follow shortly after.
- Shard transfers pause until the Season 2 reward distribution is complete.
Aegis of Valor
- Aegis now rewards winning directly: defeated games no longer reduce LP loss, while wins grant double LP without a mastery-score requirement.
Apex Duo Restrictions
- Master duo queue returns for players near each other in rank.
- Grandmaster, Challenger, and players with Grandmaster or Challenger MMR remain solo-only.
Champions
- Bel'Veth shifts power from early invades toward scaling and her evolving form, while Kai'Sa and several tanks gain targeted buffs.
- Locke, Naafiri, Riven, and Sylas are pulled back, with Mordekaiser receiving an E/R adjustment.
Items
- Bastionbreaker is cheaper and hits harder, Yun Tal Wildarrows gains attack speed at a lower cost, and Terminus adds AD/AP scaling to Shadow's on-hit damage.
Runes
- Jack of All Trades now grants 8 / 20 Adaptive Force at its 5 / 10-stat breakpoints instead of 10 / 25.
ARAM: Mayhem
- Champion damage modifiers now cover spells, attacks, items, and Augments, enabling many champion modifiers to move back toward neutral values.
- Augments are tuned across the roster: weaker options gain power, Critical Missile is less reliable, and numerous Mayhem bugs are fixed.
Arena
- Several Augments lose their level 3, while champion and Augment values are retuned across the mode.
- Critical Strike converts to Adaptive Force at a 1:1 ratio, increasing the payoff for crit beyond 100%.
Bugfixes & QoL Changes
- Neeko disguise variants, champion ability visuals and terrain interactions, role-quest progress, item effects, and death recap receive fixes.
Upcoming Skins & Chromas
- Prestige Magma Chamber Jax and Veigar release with matching chromas; Divine God-King Darius and Garen return to the Sanctum through Patch 26.19.
