League of Legends Patch 26.10 Notes

Patch 26.10 leans on fine-tuning rather than overhauling anything, adjusting twelve champions across every lane and adding no new champion to the roster. Ambessa, Anivia, Ashe, Galio, Lee Sin, Naafiri, Quinn, Shyvana, Smolder, Wukong, Zed, and Zeri all received balance changes, covering top, jungle, mid, and bot lane alike.

The patch notes list no base-stat deltas for any of these twelve, so the changes are best understood as ability and balance revisions rather than shifts in raw numbers. Lee Sin and Zed stay central to the jungle and mid pools, Wukong and Shyvana give top laners reason to revisit their picks, and Ashe, Quinn, and Smolder cover the marksman-adjacent side. Even without hard figures, expect these champions to feel different in play.

Several items were also reworked, including Doran’s Bow, Doran’s Helm, Gluttonous Greaves/Immortal Path, Lich Bane, and Voltaic Cyclosword. Rain Shepherd Ivern and PROJECT: Quinn debut as new skins. Beyond that, the update revisits the Essence Emporium, Runes, Game Systems, Disruptive Game Termination, Player Behavior, and both the Arena and ARAM modes, ARAM: Mayhem included. LoLGuru refreshes builds and counters every 48 hours, so the effects of these changes on actual matchups will appear in our current data shortly.
