League of Legends patch 11.17 notes – Amumu changes, Crime City Nightmare, Phoenix skins

3 years ago

We’re getting through those 2024 patches, League of Legends fans. The three-week testing cycle for League of Legends patch 11.16 is now up so the Sona update, Karma balance changes, and new Coven skins are headed to the MOBA game’s live battlegrounds. Now, it’s time to check out what’s coming with 11.17 – so, let’s dive in and take a look, shall we?

First up, we’ve got some changes coming up for Amumu, it seems. Current lead game designer on the Summoner’s Rift team Jeevun Sidhu says that the team’s goals for the sad mummy in 11.17 are “to make Amumu better in higher MMRs, as his current performance disparity is very large”. Basically, he’ll have two Q changes, and the devs “pulled power out of other places”. You can check these balance tweaks out in the champion changes section below.

Elsewhere, Sidhu has revealed that Lucian’s also getting some key changes this patch, with the devs aiming to shift power from mid Lucian to bot. These haven’t hit the PBE just yet, but we’ve included the changes from Sidhu’s tweet below so you can see what’s coming.

This fortnight’s update also brings a pretty hefty new bunch of champion skins. Akali, Darius, Shaco, Twisted Fate, and Zyra are getting some Crime City Nightmare styles, while Anivia, Seraphine, and Xayah are getting their own looks from the Phoenix skin line.

Without further ado, here’s our rundown of the tentative League of Legends patch 11.17 notes (cheers, Surrenderat20!):

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS PATCH 11.17 – CHAMPION SKINS

Champion Skins

 Crime City Nightmare Akali – 1350 RP

“A loyal enforcer for the Graves family, Akali took the same deal everyone else did when the Mysterious Gentleman came calling. The power changed her, twisted her into something that hears a siren song echoing from beyond the veil of reality. Now she acts in ruthless, horrific violence, seeking an inscrutable ‘balance’ even she cannot name.”

Crime City Nightmare Darius – 1350 RP

“All Darius wanted was to secure a place for himself at the top of the underworld. Becoming Miss Fortune’s personal bodyguard was the first step, but the second was embracing the power of the Mysterious Gentleman: welcoming forces from beyond space and time that have moulded him into something far more powerful than he could ever have imagined.”

Here’s Riot’s PBE preview of the two skins:

Crime City Nightmare Shaco – 1350 RP

“Once a mere courier for the Twitch syndicate, Shaco is now barely human. The eldritch corruption has stripped him of reason and identity, turning him into a chittering horde of knife-wielding monsters that haunt the boroughs of Valoran City. None of them are sure which is the ‘real’ Shaco anymore. None of them care.”

CRIME CITY NIGHTMARE ZYRA – 1350 RP

“Zyra was once a longtime associate of Graves and a skilled con artist, but grew dissatisfied with the monotony of a low-end criminal lifestyle. Seeing a way out, Zyra merged with the 4th-dimensional horrors from Beyond. She now follows the edicts of an alien power, ripping veins of sentient sludge from the earth and rending her enemies asunder.”

Crime City Nightmare Twisted Fate – 1350 RP

“No one knows if the Mysterious Gentleman is human or something Else, but he has somehow injected himself into every crime family in Valoran City. With honeyed words and a conman’s grin, he convinced them all to embrace the horrors of the Beyond… Now the only thing to do is sit back and watch them tear each other apart.”
