It’s our last patch of the set before it becomes the stuff of Legend and Lore.
Jokes aside, we’ve got buffs for our carries who’ve never really done the carrying, lore related changes, Festival of Beasts balance changes, and a very special update for Choncc’s Treasure! Rodger "Riot Prism" Caudill

With our last patch of the set, we’re letting two of our hardest Unlocks get more time off the bench and on the battlefield. ---

It's the Tactician's Crown Patch!
Patch 16.7 is a smaller patch following up on our large Unlock Condition change patch, 16.6. We're generally happy with where balance landed for 16.6, so with 16.7 being our Tactician's Crown Patch we're implementing smaller, safer, focused changes. Katie "Riot Ukime" Guo

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS
Unlocks Unlocked!
Patch 16.6 is all about making Unlocks more accessible to promote flexibility and open up new lines. The bulk of our balance changes past that are to adjust for these champions' newfound accessibility.

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.
Con gusto! Katie “Riot Ukime” Guo Rodger "Riot Prism" Caudill
