Hey, everyone! I'm Riot King Cobra and it's time for another round of Patch Chat! These threads serve as opportunity for us to talk about the patches that come out every two weeks. You can find the most recent patch by following this link: Patch 7.18 Notes.

I'm on Riot's Playtest Team, a group of high elo players who play with the new champions, reworks, balance tweaks, items, and map updates before they are released. It's our job to the test the changes that our designers come up with and ensure that we're introducing positive changes to League in terms of both balance and fun. Ask us questions - we'll try to answer as many as we can!

7.18 is the last patch to go out before Worlds 2017, and as such, mainly focuses on bringing in some dominant professional picks and lightly buffing some champions in hopes they can find some play. Please, ask us questions about the patch or our jobs in general! We'd love to talk to you guys as fellow LoL players. :)

Why no pool-party skins?

As a Zac main, I'm concerned about the time you run out of colors for his chromas and skins (since, you know, he is basically one-colored), what are you going to do then? Is Icecream Zac ever gonna be a thing? item 3681 Zac item 3681

For those of you who play support, does the Spell Theif's Edge line feel competitive to you at this time?

Kind of off-topic as it doesn't directly relate to the patch, but is Urgot enabled for worlds?

Ha, thanks for all the confirmations I hope to see him at worlds, but I highly doubt it. P.S (If you wanted to drop some hints on the upcoming eve rework your secrets will be safe with me.
