What’s up Tacticians?
Patch 16.5 is starting just one day after these notes release (Thursday for most servers at your usual patch time). 16.5 is a buff-heavy patch following up on last patch’s leveling and odds changes, which made it easier to hit three-star 3-costs, but this time we’re making them stronger! And it doesn’t stop at 3-costs—you’ll notice a lot of buffs for 2-costs too as we try to bring reroll strategies closer to fast Level 8/9.

Hey Legend, what's your Lore?
We're halfway through the set, and the patches are getting smaller and more specific, with an emphasis on ensuring as many viable paths to top four as possible. We're also adjusting some econ Augments that have been enabling three-star 4-costs a bit too frequently.
We're also back to a regular patch release timing (Wednesdays) after a string of holidays. 16.4 should go live one day after the notes release on your regular update date. Katie “Riot Ukime” Guo...
New Patch Unlocked!
Even though this is just our third patch, it’s our last large patch of the set in terms of System changes and reworks. This and future patches will continue to include balance changes, especially as the meta evolves. So, for this patch we’re looking at applying our early learnings to things like the Unlock system, champion reworks, and adjustments to leveling.

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS
New year, new patch, and a fresh batch of balance changes!
We hope you’ve been having a blast with the launch of Lore & Legends as you complete your Lorefinder, take down that dominant T-hex (if not, we got you here), and roll your way into victory or slightly less victory.
In addition to being our first patch since our mid-patch update last year, 16.2 is focused on lowering the difference between AD and AP comps, making our Emblems viable while keeping the power in the units they are equipped,...
Welcome Legends of all shapes and sizes!
It's time to unlock infinite comps, fill out your Lorefinder, and explore the world of Runeterra through Lore & Legends! This is a big one and there's lots to cover, with our first stop being Demacia in the Lore & Legends Dev Drop and our final destination being the queue right in front of you. So get ready to hop right in when Lore & Legends goes live on December 3rd!

K.O. Coliseum is about to become lore with its final patch before our next set!
We’re sending out K.O. Coliseum with a knock-out patch with Choncc’s Treasure, and a boatload of buffs for both K.O. and Uncharted Realms! But the action is only just beginning, legend has it that an all new set is dropping next patch, so be sure to check up on the lore on that in just a scroll from here.
