WHENEVER a big game gets a patch in mid-October we all know that Halloween is coming, and League of Legends is no different.
First, Pokémon Go announced its ghostly Halloween event. Then Fortnite brought Pumpkin Launchers to the battle royale.
Spooky things are coming to League.
In just a few days League of Legends players will be able to get their hands on some spooky skins, and a bunch of champions and items have changed.
Here are the biggest changes in the LoL12.20 patch update:
Changes for LoL champions
Thirteen of LoL’s champions have received some sort of change in the latest patch.
Aatrox and Maokai have been nerfed by decreasing the potency of their passive healing abilities.
Evelynn and Gwen have received a buff increasing their damage.
For Evelynn, her Hate Spike ability does more damage to marked targets, and Gwen’s Snip Snip has been buffed.
LoL item changes
Not only have the champions in League been balanced, but so have many of the items.
Demonic Embrace now uses more AP in an attempt to nerf its effect for tanks.
Frost Heart has had its base damage reduced to stop early-game rushes.
Mortal Reminder has had its damage increased, but its speed nerfed to separate it from Phantom Dancer.
Finally, Sterak’s Gage has been buffed so that it can compete with Death’s Dance.
Behavioral system changes in LoL
There is now a “zero-tolerance language” policy in-game that will detect improper language such as slurs live.
Anyone who tries to send messages containing this language will be muted, and other players notified.
Also if you honour a player, they will appear in the Add Friends and Friend Requests menu so that you can connect with players more easily.
New event missions
New narrative missions have been included in the latest patch.
These new missions will help you progress your Event Pass with Tales from the Rift Missions.
We’ve not been given more details on what the missions are, so you’ll just have to find out for yourself.
Bewitching skins
For Halloween, some new skins have been added to the game, with many female champions receiving new witch skins and chromas.
Anivia, Cassiopeia, LeBlanc, Neeko and Senna can all wear these skins.
The new cosmetics will be available on October 20, a few days after the patch is live.
