Riot Games to launch League of Legends Patch 11.7 update soon

League of Legends will launch its patch 11.7 update by end of this month and many champions will get significant nerfs along with an altered jungle Meta

The recent patch 11.7 update for League of Legends will be out soon and there are multiple changes being carried out. For starters, the jungle Meta will be undergoing significant modifications for the future. The new patch goes live on March 31st.

Patch 11.7 update: Overview

League of Legends will see 17 of its champions receiving significant nerfs and buffs in this update. Gamers will see a strong emphasis on the jungle Meta with Udyr and Hecarim undergoing major alterations.

Udyr and Hecarim nerfed

Riot is expected to nerf Udyr to his base attack damage. Hecarim on the other hand, will see his movement speed granted by Devastating Charge (E) reduced from 75% to 65%.

Both these champions will witness residual nerfs being provided to their build paths. This is because the movement speed bonus granted by Turbo Chemtank is slated to get heavily nerfed in Patch 11.7.

Both these champions may have fallen out of favour owing to the nerfs to Turbo Chemtank. This is because both Udyr and Hecarim rely on movement speed boosts to gank lanes and lock down enemy players.

Additional changes in League of Legends

There’s more on the cards for support players. Major downgradations are in store for a few mainstream champions.

And it starts with Thresh, Rell and Alistar getting their throughput decreased for future gameplay. Riot gets Alistar further under the hammer, by decreasing his damage from both Pulverize (Q) and Trample (E).

Something to cheer in patch 11.7 update

If the aforementioned news irks players, there are some positive changes as well. League of Legends will see any champions getting extensive buffs in Patch 11.7 update as per the schedule.

League of Legends might compensate jungle-dwellers in the form of buffs to Amumu and Kindred. ADCs like Varus and Ashe should find their overall damage increased.

Yasuo has been a fan-favourite since the time the developers introduced him. This time, he might just see important buffs coming his way. The champion will receive a major buff, with his attack damage per level increased from 2.2 to 3.

This is a full 36% more AD per level, a deserving gift to one of the most iconic and popular champions in the game. Hopefully, this will enthuse gamers and Yasuo fans alike.
