League of Legends Patch 26.11 Notes

Patch 26.11 is a compact update, built around one clear buff and a broad round of champion adjustments. Brand gets a base-stat boost this cycle, and eight other champions (Diana, Ekko, Heimerdinger, Kassadin, Quinn, Smolder, Teemo, and Xin Zhao) also receive changes of their own. No new champion arrives in this release, so the focus stays on refining what’s already live.

The clearest number belongs to Brand: his base Mana Regen rises from 9 to 11, which should smooth out his early lane and let him cast more often before items come online. The eight reworked champions cover a lot of ground, from Kassadin and Heimerdinger’s mid lane scaling to Xin Zhao’s jungle presence and the marksman kits of Quinn and Smolder, though exact tuning values haven’t been published. Diana, Ekko, and Teemo complete the group.

Experimental Hexplate, Heartsteel, and Statikk Shiv all see item changes that touch bruiser scaling and marksman crit builds. On the cosmetic side, Eternal Aspect Diana and its Eclipse variant top a skin lineup that also features Pasta Maker Illaoi, Breadsticks Irelia, Eternal Aspect Leona, and Pizza Chef Sion. The patch additionally brings Pride 2026 content, in-client Ranked Leaderboards, Role Quest and Support Adjustments, and updates to Runes, ARAM: Mayhem, ARAM, and Arena. LoLGuru’s builds and counters refresh every 48 hours, so current data should reflect Brand’s new sustain soon.
