What can we expect in the next LoL patch future? We have the latest leaks of the planned changes and can reveal: It will mainly hit bot and mid laners.
After Patch 10.9 and also 10.10 will take a closer look at the Top Lane and the Jungle, we can look forward to changes in the Bot and Top Lane (more or less) in League of Legends Patch 10.11.
Bot Lane in Patch 10.11
Bot laners could experience a renaissance. The focus is especially on ADCs, whose role is rarely liked and even more rarely played well. However, this is also due to the fact that AD Carries are really complex to play and require a lot of experience. Patch 10.11 could ensure that this role becomes easier to play.
Increased attack speed on Zeal Items
Items with attack speed are part of many ADC builds. Zeal is now tested with an additional 3% attack speed. Rapidfire Cannon, Phantom Dancer, Statikkm Shiv, and Runaan’s Hurricane all receive a 5% increase.
These Zeal changes can have far-reaching consequences for champions like Jhin and Yasuo. Let’s wait and see if and to what extent we will get Zeal innovations in LoL Patch 10.11.
ADC Buffs
In addition to the Zeal changes, all level 1 snipers will receive a 30 health increase and an additional 5 health per level.
League statistician “Shakarez” has been keeping a keen eye on the numbers and says that many AD Carries can then expect to see a health increase of at least 110 at level 18. And that in turn could lead to champions like Lucian, Tristana and Kalista leaving the cozy Bot Lane and moving to Top or Mid. Due to their buff, they would also be able to survive on their own.
Mid Lane in Patch 10.11
The most influential lane in the Summoner’s Rift? Sure, the Mid Lane. aker, Perkz, and Bjergsen have shown how to win a game by dominating that position. But Riot is now planning to make some changes in the middle.
According to Mark “Scruffy” Yetter, Riot’s lead gameplay designer, they want to focus on balancing the mid lane after Jungle and Top Lane. Yetter:
“Our next focus is on the mid lane carry positions and the bot positions. (…) We think the mid should be one of the strongest positions in the game, but right now it has a bit too much power. Light nerfs should bring them in line, and we still intend for the middle to play a highly influential role.”
The nerfs should primarily affect the top tier champions. Diana in particular could be affected by this. Diana’s pick rate has been catapulted to 8.5% so far in 2020. Add to that her win rate of 53% – and that despite having been generated in previous patches…. The good one is still too strong, Riot might change that.
Other champions that Riot could target in their mid-lane would be: Katarina, with her 53% win rate and a 7.7% pick rate, Ekko (52%, 5.5%) and Katarina (53%, 7.8%). According to LoLalytics’ stats, Zoe, Talon, and Syndra could also be in danger in League Patch 10.10 and beyond.
On May 28, we’ll know who could really be affected by nerfs and buffs, and whether Zeal is really causing a stir in the Gap. Until then, here’s everything you need to know about the latest LoL patches:
