LoL Patch 11.17 is already coming next week, on August 25th. Riot has now announced the upcoming changes. We go through all the nerfs and the system changes of patch 11.17 with you.

As soon as there are more exact numbers about the nerfs in LoL Patch 11.17, you will of course find them in this article! However, only the champions and items are known yet, and except for Viego no numbers are known so far.

A Mini Rework is coming for Rengar. We can expect it to go live on patch 11.18.

LoL Patch 11.17: Upcoming Nerfs

Riot plans to nerf 6 champions. Some of the candidates have clearly performed too strongly in recent weeks. So it's no wonder that Irelia and Viego are two of them. That duo really shook up the Pro Play.

These champions will be nerfed in 11.17:

Viego - see below
Irelia - Q heal decreased from 12 - 20% AD to 8 - 16%.
Graves - Q mana costs increased from 60 to 80.
Leona - W bonus armor and magic resist down from 20 - 45 to 15 - 40.
Kayn (Blue) - (Blue) - Passive bonus magic damage decreased from 12 - 44% to 8 - 30%.
Zed - Q AD ratio changed from 1 to 1.1 and the ultimate cooldown increased.

Some details about the Viego nerf are already known. The range of his Auto Attacks will decrease from 225 to 200. His passive healing will be reduced and the detection radius of his E-Stealth will be increased from 400 to 450. But that's not all: the Q-Crit multiplier will be increased from 0.75 to 1 and his R-Slow will be reduced.

Riot announced in a statement that they are trying to nerf Viego's resets and get players to crit builds. Let's see if we will soon replace Divine Sunderer with Immortal Shield Bow.

Item Nerfs in LoL Patch 11.17

Items and runes will also be adjusted in this patch. Wit's End and Divine Sunderer will be generated and Serpent's Fang will also receive an adjustment. The Nieche item was rarely very effective, but when it was, it was too much.

In LoL Patch 11.17 we not only get buffs and nerfs, but also the fan voted Crime City Nightmare skins!
