LoL Patch 8.9 Release Date And Downtime

LoL Patch 8.9 Balance Changes

That out of the way, let’s start with the really important bit, shall we? What you need to remember is that stuff on the PBE like this is neither guaranteed to happen, nor to be in the next patch even if it does. This is what the folks over at Riot are thinking about doing. We’ve got the numbers on what’s changing, and a general guideline on which way each champion, item, mastery, summoner spell or rune is moving.

LoL Patch 8.9 New Skins

Second most important: cosmetics. Lovely, gorgeous cosmetics. Bit more of a visual medium this, so we’ve grabbed the best videos of each skin, as well as a lovely pic or two. Some are relatively simple changes, while others are total reworks of every part of the champion outside the gameplay numbers – new VO, new animations, new particles and the rest. It’s generally defined by how much they cost, so we’ve detailed that as well.

975 RP.Details from Riot.

Here’s her splash:

LoL Patch 8.9 Login Screen

Each patch has its own login screen with unique music. They’re always fairly excellent, though 8.9’s hasn’t appeared yet – expect it in the next week or so. It will likely be based around the Mid-Season Invitational.

That’s League of Legends patch 8.9. We’ll update as and when we get more info, or we’ll see you for patch 8.10 in the very near future. Let us know below if there’s any vital info we missed!

League of Legends patch 8.24 has hit the PBE, meaning we’re very close to the end of preseason and the start of Season 9. Before that though, we’ve got a whole new champion to introduce, as well as a bunch of skins to take a look at.

The headline change this time around is Neeko, the curious chameleon. The inquisitive Vastayan is all about misdirection, with the ability to take on the form of her allies to try and bamboozle her foes. To add to that, she can go invisible and project a clone of herself, making your enemies even more confused.

In terms of balance changes, there’s not a lot to see – most of the big preseason edits came in patch 8.23. Check back over the next couple of weeks for some more balance updates. There are, however, a whole bunch of new Winter-themed skins to check out in the latest update, as well as a new Prestige Edition skin for K/DA Akali, and a brand-new Hextech exclusive cosmetic for Renekton.

We don’t have an exact release date for League of League of Legends patch 8.24 just yet, but the patch schedule is bi-weekly, so expect it on Wednesday, December 5.

• Pop Blossom (R):
  • 100 Mana
  • 90s Cooldown
  • After 1.25 seconds Neeko leaps into the air. She gains a shield that absorbs 50/80/110 (+50% AP) damage (+40/60/80 for each nearby enemy champion). Nearby enemies are slowed by 40%. When Neeko lands she deals 200/425/650 (130% AP) magic damage and stuns nearby enemies for 1.25 seconds. This ability can be prepared in secret if Neeko is disguised.
