Greetings, Summoners,
It’s time for patch 7.11, so wave your hands side to side and clap like you don’t care.
We’ve been taking on bigger-ticket champion changes more often, and this patch continues the trend. So, when appropriate, we’ll be separating larger projects out from the rest. This patch, that’s updates to Rek’Sai, Kindred, and Malzahar!
We’re also continuing to follow up on midseason. A few tanks are struggling without Sunfire Cape’s old combat damage, so we’ve got a few buffs to help them out. Maokai and Zac still aren’t quite hitting the gameplay patterns we’d like, se we’ve making a few more tweaks this patch.
Past the gameplay front, this patch also brings a few long-awaited features. A new 10-ban draft format will be rolling out to normal and ranked matches over the course of the patch, and item sets make their debut in the updated client!
Get out there and play some League, friends.

Rek'Sai, Kindred & Malzahar
Rek'Sai
Rek’Sai’s ultimate now launches her at a target she’s recently damaged. Tunnels can be re-entered more quickly. Base damages down, scaling up.
Rek’Sai is a ferocious predator who strikes fear into the hearts of her prey as she hunts them. The way Rek’Sai is currently played —a vanguard who sets up plays for her team—just doesn’t sync up with that promised fantasy.
We see a lot of potential for Rek’Sai, and this update is an opportunity to double down on Rek’Sai’s predatory instincts. Rek’Sai should be feared for her individual threat, not the followup of her team. With these changes, we’re reimagining a Rek’Sai who has better backline access in teamfights and does more damage when she gets in there, but is less consistent when behind or built tanky.
For more information, check our our post on Rek’Sai’s update.
Base stats
HEALTH GROWTH STAT 90 ⇒ 85
Passive - Fury of the Xer'Sai
Fury generation faster. Burrowed health regeneration ticks more quickly but max regeneration is down.
FURY GENERATION 5 for basic attacks, 10 for unburrowed abilities, 2.5 for additional units hit beyond the first by abilities ⇒ 25 for all attacks and unburrowed abilities
MAX BURROWED HEALTH REGENERATION 25-450 (at levels 1-18) over 5 seconds ⇒ 20-190 (at levels 1-18) over 3 seconds
Q - Queen's Wrath
Base damage down at later ranks. Ratio doubled.
DAMAGE 15/25/35/45/55 (+0.2 bonus attack damage) ⇒ 15/20/25/30/35 (+0.4 bonus attack damage)
Burrowed Q - Prey Seeker
Now has a bonus AD ratio. Does physical damage instead of magic.
newRATIO 0.4 bonus attack damage (in addition to the existing 0.7 ability power ratio)
DAMAGE TYPE Magic ⇒ Physical
Burrowed W - Un-burrow
Primary target is still knocked up, others are now knocked back.
BASE DAMAGE 40/80/120/160/200 ⇒ 50/65/80/95/110
DISPLACEMENT 0.5-1 second knockup on all nearby enemies based on proximity to Rek'Sai ⇒ 1 second knockup on the primary target; 250 range knockback to other nearby enemies
IMMUNITY Only the knocked up target is granted immunity from further knock-ups
IMMUNITY DURATION 10/9.5/9/8.5/8 seconds ⇒ 10 seconds at all ranks
newSTOP AND SMELL THE ROSE ROOTS Rek’Sai can interact with Plants by attacking them while burrowed
E - Furious Bite
Now has base damage, and scales off bonus AD instead of total AD. Damage no longer scales linearly with Fury, but full-Fury casts still deal double damage as true damage.
DAMAGE 80/90/100/110/120% total attack damage ⇒ 50/60/70/80/90 (+ 0.85 bonus attack damage)
removedRAMP-UP Damage no longer scales linearly with Rek’Sai’s current Fury
THRESHOLD Damage still doubled and dealt as True Damage at max Fury
Burrowed E - Tunnel
Tunnel creation and re-entry cooldowns both reduced at later ranks.
COOLDOWN 26/24/22/20/18 seconds ⇒ 26/23/20/17/14 seconds
RE-ENTRY COOLDOWN 10/9/8/7/6 seconds ⇒ 10/8/6/4/2 seconds
newR - Void Rush
Rek’Sai marks champions she damages and can dash to a marked target, dealing damage based off their missing health.
PREY Rek’Sai passively marks enemy champions she damages as Prey for 5 seconds
VOID RUSH Rek’Sai targets a Prey-marked enemy, burrowing after a 0.35 second cast time before emerging from underground and leaping at her target after an additional 0.75 seconds.
UNSTOPPABLE Rek’Sai is unstoppable during both the cast and leap
DAMAGE 100/250/400 (+1.6 bonus attack damage) (+20/25/30% target’s missing health)
COOLDOWN 100/80/60 seconds
RANGE 1500
Kindred
Passive stacks increase Kindred’s attack range and amplify their abilities.
Kindred were our first attempt at ground-up designing a marksman for the jungle. Although they’ve been on-and-off present in the meta (mostly ‘off’ as of late), their playstyle has settled in a spot that felt closer to skirmisher than marksman. Today, we’re revisiting Kindred's kit to deliver the jungler marksman playstyle we originally intended. Wolf and Lamb have more distinct roles to play, synergizing with one another to make a better-feeling Kindred overall.
Here’s the tightrope we’re walking: “jungler” and “marksman” have pretty conflicting needs. Marksmen are typically weaker in the early game, scaling up to late game carry potential. Junglers need at least enough early strength to kill monsters and gank lanes. To be both, we need to define when Kindred has weaknesses, and by process of elimination, that’s mid-game. With clearer emphasis on late-game sustained damage (new scaling from Marks, ratio shifts to bonus AD), we’re lowering the mid-game burstiness their abilities offer.
All in all, we want Kindred players to feel good about playing a marksman in the jungle, using the right amount of power during the right parts of the game.
Base stats
ATTACK DAMAGE GROWTH 1.7 ⇒ 2.26
updatedPassive - Mark of the Kindred
removedHEARTSEEKING Kindred’s basic attacks no longer deal a percent of their target’s current health damage based on passive stacks
newDEATH’S REACH Kindred’s basic attacks and Mounting Dread gain 75 range at 4 stacks, plus 25 range every 4 stacks thereafter
newAMPLIFICATION Stacks amplify Kindred’s basic abilities:
- Q - Dance of Arrows: Bonus attack speed increased by an additional 5% per stack. (No longer increases base damage.)
- W - Wolf’s Frenzy: Current health damage increased by an additional 0.5% per stack
- E - Mounting Dread: Missing health damage increased by an additional by 0.5% per stack
Q - Dance of Arrows
Grants attack speed on-cast.
newBONUS ATTACK SPEED Now grants 10% attack speed for 4 seconds on cast, plus an additional 5% per Mark of the Kindred stack
removedMARK DAMAGE Mark of the Kindred stacks no longer increase Dance of Arrows’ damage
RATIO 0.2 total attack damage ⇒ 0.65 bonus attack damage
DASH SPEED 400 ⇒ 500
W - Wolf's Frenzy
Deals additional damage based on current enemy health. Kindred can choose where to cast Wolf’s Frenzy.
newCAST RANGE Self-cast ⇒ Anywhere within 500 range (including over walls). Hunting zone radius unchanged.
newCURRENT HEALTH DAMAGE Wolf’s attacks deal an additional 1.5% of the target’s current health as damage, plus an additional 0.5% per Mark of the Kindred stack
RATIO 0.4 total attack damage ⇒ 0.2 bonus attack damage
DAMAGE TYPE Physical ⇒ Magic
E - Mounting Dread
Deals additional damage based on missing enemy health and crits low-health enemies.
newMISSING HEALTH DAMAGE 8% target’s missing health, plus an additional 0.5% per Mark of the Kindred stack
removedMAX HEALTH DAMAGE No longer deals 5% of the target’s maximum health as damage
BASE DAMAGE 40/75/110/145/180 ⇒ 40/60/80/100/120
RATIO 0.2 total attack damage ⇒ 0.8 bonus attack damage
MISSILE SPEED 1600 ⇒ 2000
JAWS OF DEATH Wolf's attack critically strikes targets below 15% health for 50% bonus damage. Threshold increased by 0.5% health per 1% critical strike chance (up to 65% health at 100% crit chance).
Malzahar
Q, E, and R deal more damage. W spawns Voidlings based on Malzahar’s spellcasts. Voidlings are less threatening early.
Support Malzahar's been an ongoing source of frustration this season, and efforts to keep him in check have exacted a toll on midlane Malzahar, who's left in a pretty unhappy place. A big part of this is how overbearing Void Swarm is early when Malzahar doesn’t need to manage a solo lane. So, we’re pulling in Void Swarm’s early dominance, and redistributing power back into the rest of Malz’s kit. Voidlings are overall less reliable: they’re more fragile, easier to avoid, and have lower early damage that scales back up toward the late game. Void Swarms are also more costly to set up.
While his Voildings are less reliable, Malz himself is getting a lot in return. Malefic Visions, which previously enabled a ton of Voidling damage, now does more damage on its own. The same is true for Nether Grasp: to keep Malzahar’s all-in combo threatening against squishies, his ult now deals direct damage to its primary target. Finally, we’re making Call of the Void smoother to use by reducing the amount of time Malz sits still to cast it. The missiles take a bit longer to fire overall, giving us room to - you guessed it - add more damage. All in all, this patch paves the way for Malzahar to return home to mid.
updatedW - Void Swarm
COST 40 mana ⇒ 40/45/50/55/60 mana
COOLDOWN 8 seconds
removedCHARGES Malzahar no longer gains a charge every 20/19/18/17/16 seconds
newSTACKS Malzahar gains a stack of Gathering Swarm when he casts another ability (max 2)
ACTIVE Malzahar summons a Voidling, plus an additional Voidling per stack of Gathering Swarm (max 3 per cast)
removedMULTIPLICATION Voidlings are no longer able to spawn additional Voidlings
CAST RANGE 450 ⇒ 150

Champions
Ahri
Less damage on W and R, more damage on E.
Ahri is outperforming most midlaners due to how broad her strengths are. We're trimming some single-target potential off her auto-targeted spells so she’s more reliant on landing skillshots to secure kills.
W - Fox-Fire
RATIO 0.4 ability power per wisp ⇒ 0.3 ability power per wisp
MAX RATIO VS SAME TARGET 0.64 ability power ⇒ 0.48 ability power
E - Charm
RATIO 0.5 ability power ⇒ 0.6 ability power
R - Spirit Rush
RATIO 0.3 ability power per bolt ⇒ 0.25 ability power per bolt
Caitlyn
Runaan’s Hurricane bolts no longer stack Headshot.
Because of its interaction with Headshot, Runaan’s Hurricane has been Caitlyn’s best option for area-of-effect and single-target damage. We’re removing this interaction so Caitlyn’s forced to choose which type of damage she wants to spec into. Similarly, we think Caitlyn’s at her finest when she’s sniping enemies with Headshot procs off of well-placed traps. Right now, she gets to have that as well as high sustained damage in teamfights via right-clicking. We’re hitting the Sheriff’s scaling with attack speed items to keep her focused on traps as the game progresses.
Base stats
BASE ATTACK SPEED 0.568 ⇒ 0.543
LV1 BONUS ATTACK SPEED 10% ⇒ 15%
ATTACK SPEED AT LV1 0.625 (unchanged)
Passive - Headshot
removedHURRICANE HEADSHOT Runaan’s Hurricane bolts no longer stack Headshot
Dr. Mundo
Attack damage per level and W damage per second up.
Since 7.9, we’ve been keeping an eye on how midseason’s itemization changes are affecting our tanky friends. A few uber-durable dudes have been hit particularly hard by the Sunfire Cape changes—Dr. Mundo, Malphite and Sion. We’re compensating these champions with some power boosts aimed at mitigating the loss of Sunfire’s dueling power.
General stats
ATTACK DAMAGE GROWTH STAT 3 ⇒ 3.5
W - Burning Agony
DAMAGE 35/50/65/80/95 per second ⇒ 40/55/70/85/100 per second
Lee Sin
High-latency players can ward hop.
In the same vein as recent changes to Ryze and Karthus, we’re making Lee Sin’s ward hopping more feasible in high-latency environments.
W - Safeguard
LAG IS NO EXCUSE Cast can now be buffered when placing wards, allowing Lee Sin to quickly place and hop to wards on high-latency environments
SORRY No longer works with the Quick + Selfcast setting. We’re looking into restoring this functionality in a later patch.
Lucian
Q mana cost up at later ranks.
Lucian’s been able to spec into a decent amount of survivability (Ninja Tabi, Black Cleaver, and Blade of the Ruined King) without significant damage trade-offs. If the Purifier still wants to give up on Essence Reaver, he needs to be more frugal with his spell usage.
Q - Piercing Light
COST 50/55/60/65/70 mana ⇒ 50/60/70/80/90 mana
E - Ground Slam
Maokai
Passive heal base down, health scaling up. Saplings speed and AP scaling down. Brush sapling duration increases with bonus health instead of ability level.
Maokai’s supposed to be a hearty tank who wades into combat, swinging his branches around to disrupt and using his mighty trunk to soak damage. At the moment he plays more like a catapult, launching saplings for slows and damage. Similar to last patch, we’re shifting power away from saplings into his durability.
Passive - Sap Magic
COOLDOWN 30/25/20 seconds at levels 1/9/15 ⇒ 30/25/20 seconds at levels 1/6/11
BASE HEALING 10/30/50/70/90/110/130 ⇒ 5/15/25/35/45/55/65
PERCENT HEALING 4.5/5.5/6.5/7.5/8.5/9.5/10.5% Maokai’s maximum health ⇒ 6/7.5/9/10/11/12/13% Maokai’s maximum health
E - Sapling Toss
RATIO 2% target’s maximum health per 100 ability power ⇒ 1% target’s maximum health per 100 ability power
SAPLING MOVEMENT SPEED 425 + 2.5 per Maokai’s level ⇒ 400, changed based on Maokai’s boots:
- Boots of Speed: 425
- Most upgraded boots: 445
- Boots of Swiftness & Boots of Mobility: 460
BRUSH SAPLING DAMAGE 100% on detonation, two ticks for 50% each ⇒ 67% on detonation, two ticks for 67% each (total damage unchanged)
BRUSH SAPLING DURATION 30/40/50/60/70 seconds ⇒ 30 (+2.5% Maokai’s bonus health) seconds
Renekton
Over the past two patches, we made a bunch of changes to Renekton’s underlying code to address a bunch of longstanding bugs and make him easier to work on in the future. Unfortunately, that work created a number of other issues which, in some respects, have left him worse off than he started. We’re rolling both sets of changes back.
REWIND All patch 7.9 and 7.10 changes to Renekton have been reverted
Sion
W cooldown decreased, shield’s max health scaling increased.
Sunfire Cape followup buffs!
W - Soul Furnace
COOLDOWN 13 seconds ⇒ 11 seconds
SHIELD SCALING 6/7/8/9/10% Sion’s maximum health ⇒ 8/9/10/11/12% Sion’s maximum health
Syndra
W area of effect reduced.
Force of Will is pretty hard to miss, leading to gank setups where the only test of skill is whether Syndra can land Scatter the Weak’s stun on a slow-moving target. We're giving opponents a more realistic chance to dodge Force of Will, which gives them a shot at dodging Scatter the Weak as well.
W - Force of Will
AREA OF EFFECT 275 ⇒ 225
Yasuo
Q stacks expire faster.
Yasuo was already on the cusp of being too powerful and midseason’s cost reductions to critical strike items just pushed him over the edge. We’re reducing the amount of pressure he exerts by sitting on Q stacks to give opponents more chances to play against him.
Q - Steel Tempest
STACK DURATION 10 seconds ⇒ 6 seconds
Zac
E warning indicator shows up earlier. Zac’s voice isn’t squeaky as often.
Zac’s update gave him more ways to follow up on his own initiation. That was offset by a shorter knockup duration on Elastic Slingshot, but now that it can scale back up to a full second again, we’re giving enemies slightly more warning time.
General
LESS SQUEAKY The health threshold at which Zac’s voice becomes squeakier has been lowered
E - Elastic Slingshot
WARNING INDICATOR Appears 0.75 seconds before Zac lands ⇒ 1 second before Zac lands
Mid-patch 7.10 changes
Just as a reminder. With the max health scaling we added in the initial 7.10 patch, Stretching Strikes was dealing too much damage. We shipped additional base damage nerfs halfway through the patch.
STRETCHING STRIKES BASE DAMAGE 40/60/80/100/120 ⇒ 30/40/50/60/70
Xayah & Rakan Warding VO
STOP YELLING, RAKAN Rakan’s warding VO lines are no longer audible to enemies (sometimes giving away his position through fog of war). Allies can still hear him.
STOP MUMBLING, XAYAH Xayah’s warding VO lines are now audible to allies, rather than only Xayah
Items
Abyssal Mask
Name change and icon update to match midseason’s changes.
NAME Abyssal Scepter ⇒ Abyssal Mask
ICON Updated!
Banshee's Veil
Cost increased. Magic resist increased.
Given the potent defense a spell shield offers in lane, we want to ensure Banshee’s Veil doesn’t come online too early and that enemies have a chance to fight Veil buyers while they’re vulnerable. A cost increase hits both goals at once: buyers need more time to earn the extra gold and are left sitting on just Null-Magic Mantle for longer. That said, we don’t think Veil needs a flat-out nerf, so we’re keeping it competitive at its new cost.
COST 2700 gold (500 gold combine cost) ⇒ 3000 gold (800 gold combine cost)
MAGIC RESIST 45 ⇒ 60
Blade of the Ruined King
Lifesteal decreased.
Blade of the Ruined King is just overtuned at the moment. The item has a lot of cool identities - dueling item, mild tank buster, early power spike - and we want to make sure to preserve them. However, since it’s already letting buyers win trades via damage, allowing them to heal up so easily afterwards just adds insult to injury.
LIFESTEAL 15% ⇒ 12%
Ninja Tabi
Basic attack damage reduction decreased.
Ninja Tabi should be the go-to item into a ton of physical damage, and its additional tankiness against basic attacks gives it baseline effectiveness against at least the marksman in most games. At the moment, it’s the right choice pretty much whenever the enemy team has any physical damage on top of their marksman, so we’re dialing back that baseline value.
BASIC ATTACK DAMAGE REDUCTION 12% ⇒ 10%
Nomad's Medallion
Combine cost decreased. Also affects Talisman of Ascension & Eye of the Oasis.
When we updated Nomad’s Medallion’s build path last patch, the small offset to its combine cost change didn’t go through. Here it is.
COST 875 gold (375 gold combine cost) ⇒ 850 gold (350 gold combine cost)
Talisman of Ascension
COST 2425 gold ⇒ 2400 gold
Eye of the Oasis
COST 1925 gold ⇒ 1900 gold
Scoreboard Minion Kill Tracking
Playing against a champion who creates lots of smaller units makes it hard to tell how well you’re actually last-hitting. We’re keeping the gold reward earned for fighting these pets but removing the confusion they create around last-hit tracking.
SMALL FRIES The following units no longer increase your Minions Killed stat (they still grant gold):
- Elise’s spiderlings
- Heimerdinger’s turrets (not including his UPGRADE!!!’d turret)
- Illaoi’s tentacles
- Malzahar’s Voidlings
- Shaco’s Jack in the Boxes (including the ones created by Hallucinate’s clone detonation)
- Yorick’s Mist Walkers and Dark Procession rings
- Zyra’s Thornspitters and Vine Lashers
Crowd Control Text
With the addition of crowd control name displays above health bars as a dedicated solution, crowd control doesn’t need to be included in floating combat text any more.
IT WAS REDUNDANT Removed floating combat text for crowd control effects
Ban Formats
Normals & Ranked
We’re adding a simultaneous 10-champ ban phase to all draft Summoner’s Rift modes throughout 7.11, starting with Normal Draft in NA. We want to make sure all players have more agency in the ban phase, as well as attempting to make the time taken to get into game significantly shorter. Read the announcement post here for details, or below for the tl;dr:
LAUNCH NA Normal Draft only at launch, will be rolled out throughout the patch worldwide (including ranked queues)
TOTAL BANS 6, with the last 3 picks of each team getting a ban ⇒ 10, with every player getting a ban
BAN MODEL Sequential ⇒ Simultaneous
BAN VISIBILITY Bans aren’t shown to the enemy team until the end of the ban phase
DUPLICATION Bans can be duplicated across teams
HARDCORE MODE “No ban” is now an option
Custom Games
Regular custom games are unchanged for now while we do some backend tweaks to how custom games work. Tournament Draft custom games are switching to the esports format which has been in use for a while, but the UI might be a little unclear for launch. We’ll be cleaning this up in a later patch.
TOURNAMENT DRAFT Now uses a split draft pick/ban phase, identical to esports
CUSTOM DRAFT PICK Unchanged for now
Lobby Invite Permissions
We’re removing one barrier from getting a party together. Just a small quality-of-life buff for when the captain goes to make a sandwich.
OPEN INVITE Invited players now have invite privileges by default, though captains can still revoke them
Rotating Game Mode
Team up to overcome the cursed Doom Bots of Doom and their evil overlord before everything you love and cherish is DOOMED!!! Doom Bots is available from 6/2/17 12:00 PT - 6/6/17 04:00 PT and 6/9/17 12:00 PT - 6/13/17 04:00 PT.
TL;DR:Let the mayhem begin. Mwahaha. MWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
- Overcome the Doom Bots’ EVIIIIIIIIL curses — stasis, warping, windwalls (and more), oh my!
- Survive and defeat the devilish little horror behind it all. Hut, two, three, four...
Twisted Treeline Bots
SPOOKY BOTS Intermediate bots have been re-added to Twisted Treeline
League Client Update
With the rollout of the new client complete, we’re moving full steam ahead with new features and improvements.
You can find solutions to most common issues in the Known Issues section of our support site.
New features
newITEM SET CREATOR We heard you loud and clear—you want item sets, so you got 'em. You can now create custom item sets for specific champions and maps. The new item set creator allows you to start from a default recommended item set for a champion as well as a blank set. There's currently a limit of 20 item sets per account. This is something we'll be re-evaluating based on the feedback we're seeing.
newRECENTLY PLAYED LIST You'll now find a “Recently Played” section at the bottom of your friends list that will display the names of players you've recently been in games with (as well as the champions they played), and will allow you to view their profiles, add them, block them, or drag to invite them to a lobby.
Notable Fixes
- We made the mastery panel smaller to allow players to see the left/right better during champ select and be able tell who’s turn it is and who they’re picking.
- Overall improvements to champion select to make actions clearer.
- Fixes to bugs that were blocking the ability to lock in your choice during champ select.
- We gave the X on the lobby and end of game screen a makeover to give it more space.
Dragon Fist Lee Sin
Dragon Fist Lee Sin’s splash and in-game VFX have been adjusted. The dragon on his back is now gold in his splash, and now turns gold when he casts R - Dragon’s Rage. (Chromas change the in-game color.)
Loot Interface
Having to scroll to reach unopened chests is kinda annoying, especially if you’ve accumulated a lot of loot.
DON’T MAKE ME SCROLL Moved the “Materials” section to the top of Loot
Queue Health Update
With overall matchmaking health between the two SR ranked queues pretty consistent in all regions, we’re going to be retiring the Queue Health Update for now. We’ll bring it back if the need arises.
Ranked Solo/Duo
Ranked Flex
Bugfixes
This one was in its own little patch close to - but separate from - 7.11 itself. If you haven't gotten 7.11 yet, this fix will be there when you do!
- Fixed a bug where mana coins dropped by Ancient Coin and its upgrades were granting other types of secondary resources (ex. Ferocity) as well
- Casting Riven’s Q - Broken Wings casts too quickly after one another no longer prevents unit targeting from working properly on casts beyond the first

- Fixed a bug causing the projectile of an enemy Caitlyn’s Q - Piltover Peacemaker to not properly appear until it hit a unit when fired from fog of war
- Hecarim’s E - Devastating Charge stomp can no longer be reused if Hecarim’s initial target dies during the stomp animation

- Fixed a number of visual bugs with Jax’s E - Counterstrike across various skins
- Switching Summoner’s Rift music from Updated to Classic no longer prevents the music on other maps from playing
- Various VO lines triggered when Pulsefire Caitlyn scores a pentakill, ace, or killing spree now properly play

- Oktoberfest Gragas’s Recall audio now properly plays on Howling Abyss
Upcoming Skins & Chromas
The following skins will be released in patch 7.11:
collecting his chimes
nerfs? Also, it would be nice if we could have a roles tab in champ select. Meaning, you could organize your top lane champs into the "top" tab and your mid lane champs in the "mid" tab or something like that. It would make things much more convenient and organized
is no longer a matter of if, but when now.
