The 10 most recent official updates we track, newest first, from Jun 9, 2026 to Oct 20, 2026. Hotfixes and minor updates that Riot Games posted separately are listed as their own entries.
A smaller follow-up to 18.4 that nerfs Azir's go-to comp and Kha'Zix while buffing several AP carries. Blackthorn, Elderwood, Flora Fatalis, Rapidfire and Riftbeast are trimmed, Fae gets a bigger heal, and Soraka, Morgana, Taric and Ashe get buffs. Wisps are reworked for easier filtering, with Abandon Ship now costing 2 gold and Hand of Baron's stats cut.
Patch 18.4 is a big balance patch that adjusts traits, buffs struggling 1-cost and 2-cost units, and nerfs a few dominant strategies. It also shortens the combat arrival and departure phases by 1 second each, and 18.5 is planned as a smaller follow-up.
Patch 18.3 is a medium-sized patch that revives struggling reroll comps, nerfs a few must-buy Wisps and buffs often-skipped combat Augments. It also brings a large set of bug fixes, split into gameplay fixes and stability and performance fixes.
Patch 18.2 is the first main patch for Enchanted Wilds. It makes small economy changes, with direct cost reductions per level and cheaper combat Wisps, and buffs comps that had not shone under reroll and Ahri. It also continues the bug fix and performance work.
Patch 18.1 launches the Enchanted Wilds set, with the new Wisps mechanic and traits for the different parts of the Wilds. The notes focus on existing systems such as items, the returning Carousel and encounters, and include a small balance update for Space Gods.
Patch 17.9 is the final dedicated Space Gods patch before Enchanted Wilds goes live on August 26th. It reworks units such as Twisted Fate, Meepsie and Milio, changes the Shepherd trait and adds Zed to the base champion roster.
This patch turns Choncc's Lore & Legends into Choncc's Classic Treasure, a Classic twist on the loot-powered mode. It is also a smaller Space Gods balance patch, with a few changes that slipped in from Enchanted Wilds.
Patch 17.7 is a Legendary patch of mostly buffs. Vex joins the Stargazers, Shen gains the Timebreaker trait and Graves has all of his upgrade costs reduced to 1. Choncc's Lore & Legends also brings back the Set 16 roster.
Patch 17.6 is a smaller patch with a few buffs, some specific nerfs and a sweeping pass on Augments. Pengu's Party also gets quite a few balance changes. It is a three-week patch, one week longer than usual, with 17.7 arriving on July 15th.
Patch 17.5 is a smaller balance patch that mainly buffs champions that have struggled in Space Gods. It also sweeps through the Augments, nerfing overperforming economy Augments and buffing the less-picked combat Augments.
