Fiddlesticks rework, ranked balancing and Akali buffs come in Patch 10.7

Patch 10.7 for League of Legends has something for everyone, with skins, buffs, nerfs and the first of the 2020 reworks in the form of Fiddlesticks.

Teamfight Tactics has its own set of notes and below is a rundown of the whole patch for the main game.

Patch 10.7 skins

There are six new skins coming with Patch 10.7 including Pajama Guardian Urgot and three new Worldbreaker skins, all launching with a collection of chromas.

Furyhorn Cosplay Veigar, Pengu Cosplay Tristana and Pajama Guardian Cosplay Urgot will be available on 1st April while Worldbreaker Sion, Malzahar and Maokai will be available on 9th April.

Premade ranked mode balance

Patch 10.7 will see to help balance the odds in Solo/Duo ranked games. If one team has a duo, the other team should have one as well.

This will be eventually pushed to Flex and Normal games too but the notes explain that is is more complicated to handle premade groups of different sizes in other modes and so it will be a more complicated process.

ARAM and One for All balance

Numerous system changes as well as champion buffs and nerfs have hit One for All mode since it returned to the game in Patch 10.6.

Akali, Bard, Evelynn, Gangplank, Nunu & Willump, Soraka, Thresh, Yuumi and Zoe have all been buffed while Darius, Volibear and Wukong have been hit by nerfs.

In addition to its own balance changes, ARAM has also seen the following champions added permanently to the mode in addition to the current Weekly Free Rotation for all players to counter ARAM-only accounts: Aatrox, Ahri, Akali, Amumu, Annie, Ashe, Brand, Braum, Caitlyn, Cho'Gath, Darius, Draven, Ekko, Ezreal, Fiora, Fizz, Garen, Graves, Irelia, Janna, Jarvan IV, Jax, Jhin, Jinx, Karma, Karthus, Katarina, Kayle, Kha'Zix, LeBlanc, Lee Sin, Leona, Lucian, Lulu, Lux, Malphite, Maokai, Master Yi, Miss Fortune, Mordekaiser, Morgana, Nautilus, Nidalee, Pantheon, Pyke, Quinn, Renekton, Riven, Ryze, Sivir, Sona, Soraka, Thresh, Tristana, Tryndamere, Twisted Fate, Twitch, Varus, Vayne, Veigar, Vel'Koz, Vladimir, Wukong, Xayah and Zed.

The full list of changes for these two modes can be found in the official patch notes.
