LEAGUE OF LEGENDS PATCH 26.13 NOTES

The Rift welcomes Locke, the Ashen Exorcist! This demon-hunting powerhouse arrives with a kit focused on marks, self-ignition, and executions. While he isn't eligible for the MSI stage yet, you can start mastering his kit on June 24.
Gameplay Updates
- Ranked 5s Return: Starting June 26 at 8pm, gather your squad for tournament-style competition with exclusive rewards.
- Last Hit Indicators: Now available in Normal Draft, Swiftplay, and Co-op vs. AI. This quality-of-life feature can be toggled in your settings.
- Reporting DMs: You can now report chat toxicity directly within your DM interface. Blocking a player will now prevent further messages while keeping history for moderation purposes.
Champion Balance
We are shifting power across the roster:
- Buffs: Aphelios, Draven, Kai'Sa, LeBlanc, Olaf, Poppy, Qiyana, Vex, and Zaahen receive tuning to improve their viability and fun factor.
- Nerfs: Bard, Brand, Cassiopeia, K'Sante, Rek'Sai, Rumble, Senna, and Sion see adjustments to curb their current dominance or excessive reliability.
Arena & ARAM
Arena sees the introduction of Locke as a new Guest of Honor, plus a fresh Augment round added to Round 15. ARAM's Mayhem mode continues to receive tuning, focusing on balancing Ability Augments and addressing spawn rates for specific powerful choices.
Skins & Cosmetics
- New Releases: High Noon Locke, High Noon Akshan, and the Broken Covenant line (Jhin, Aurora, Shen) drop this patch.
- MSI Support: A portion of proceeds from the Broken Covenant Jhin skin and bundle supports esports teams. Winners of the MSI Finals will also have their chosen skins discounted for one week.
