We will make a stop right now to talk about some of the most drastic changes coming with this patch, which will impact all junglers. Riot recently announced they would overhaul this role to make it more accessible, which has resulted in the following:

• Jungle Timers and Camp Gold: The Camp Respawn Timer will be increased from 2 minutes to 2:15, and its Glowing Indicator will now appear 10 seconds before camp spawns.

• Comeback Experience: Junglers with at least two levels below the average level of all players in the game will get increased XP from large and epic monsters. 50 XP more per level.

• Smite: Its damage will start at a flat 450, increasing to 900 after its quest completion. The Smite will now break through the Rift Scuttle's shield, and when using an unsealed book, its damage now increases after swapping summoner spells twice.

• Survivability: The Omnivamp stat from jungle items will be reduced to 8%, however its heal will now be upped to 15%.

• Jungle Monster Camp Changes: Every single camp will have balance changes in its Attack Damage, Health, and Gold.

Few items are being highlighted this time, as the Abyssal Mask will see an increase in Health, Damage Ratio and Duration of its Unmake, the Goredrinker is getting a mini buff on its healing based on missing health, the Guinsoo's Rageblade combines cost moves from 1,110 to 900 gold, and the Riftmaker’s combat trigger will have better windows to activate its effect.

As for the Phase Rush, it has been dominating high-level play with its ability to provide safety both in the lane and in extended fights, so now its cooldown will be based on a level than being flat, and its bonus movement speed in the first levels was decreased.

Patch 11.10: Kog’Maw’s VFX update and new skins

We finish this patch with the release of another set of VFX updates, this time for everyone's favourite void pupper, Kog'Maw. This will bring changes to effects and particles of all his abilities, as well as recolours in all his skins.

Likewise, four new skins will be available within the in-game store within the Arcana theme, for Lucian, Xerath, LeBlanc, and Tahm Kench. Each of these will receive a set of eight chromas to feast your eyes on in style.
