League patch 11.2 to feature Senna & Soraka buffs, Viego release, more
With League of Legends Season 11 kicking off, Riot are still fine tuning the aftermath of preseason. League patch 11.2 is set to bring more changes to healing, while champions like Senna and Soraka are getting compensation buffs. Viego is also primed for release.
The ranked queues forLeague Season 11are flooding open with players as the grind begins for 2021. However, Riot are still trying to get a handle on this year’s mega preseason that saw more than half of the items changed in-game, as well as numerous champion rebalances. Some have fared well from the changes — especially those with massive amounts of healing in their kit. However, others have lost their identity around the new Mythics. Riot is aware of this though, and in Patch 11.2, they’re set to make some changes to rebalance the game.
Viego release penned for League patch 11.2
Before we get into that though, there’s a big new release on the way. Viego, the Ruined King, is set for release in League’s patch 11.2. He’s already available for testing on the PBE, and the jungler is already taking players by surprise.
With a pseudo-assassin kit, he’s going to be a huge threat. Lurking in the shadows and controlling the magic that saps the Shadow Isles, you can expect Viego to absolutely ruin enemy teams. You can find more details on his release here.
Drain tanks like Aatrox and Olaf on the patch 11.2 nerf list
Lead gameplay designer Mark ‘Scruffy’ Yetteroutlined the changesplayers can expect on League’s patch 11.2 in a January 7 Tweet. The most important change off the rank was a nerf to healing. Despite buffs to Grievous Wounds,drain tanks are still decimating the meta. These “healing edge cases,” like Aatrox and Olaf, are only part of League’s healing problem. Riot are also looking at generic healing reduction across the board, especially Domination rune Ravenous Hunter. The rune is getting a scaling nerf with reduced healing per stack. On the other side of the coin, enchanter supports are getting some love. Soraka and Senna are getting buffs to their healing abilities to bring them to relevance. https://twitter.com/MarkYetter/status/1349111591095070721

Senna is one of those champions, but Riot is looking out for her with that aforementioned healing change. Umbral Glaive — one of her core items — is getting a price drop too. Tanks are also getting a Mythic change. With Sunfire Aegis still dominating the meta, Yetter wants to open up the choice for tanks in all roles. Frostfire Gauntlet and Turbo Chemtank are both getting buffs, acting as cheaper options to the full Sunfire.
Elise, Darius, Nunu, Maokai, and Akali are also in the nerfs list. League patch 11.2 is set to release onJanuary 21. You can find early patch notes below, courtesy ofSurrender@20.
