A broad range of balance changes are hitting Summoner’s Rift this week in League of Legends Patch 11.7.

The developers are cracking down on the bot lane, targeting support champions, “who have been overpowering their peers,” like Alistar, Rell, and Thresh, as well as marksmen like Ashe, Kai’Sa, and Tristana.

The patch is expected to go live on Wednesday, March 30. Along with champion changes, the patch includes adjustments to items like Essence Reaver, Everfrost, and Trinity Force, an update to ranked progression, providing “smoother LP gains” to help ensure players receive LP at a more “predictable rate,” a slew of bug fixes, much-needed quality of life changes, and more.

Bug fixes and quality of life changes
