Hey Summoners,
Welcome to Patch 4.11! Our big story for this patch is to bring some equality back to the jungle. In the 2014 season, popular junglers have been heavily skewed in favor of high-pressure damage Froggen - Anivia vs Karma dealing champions like Lee Sin, Pantheon, Kha'Zix, Evelynn, Elise, etc, and it was these dominant picks that knocked most supportive tanky junglers right out of the park. On deeper analysis, we quickly realized the problem was less about buffing tanky junglers to keep up and more that we lacked a strong item path for utility junglers to pick up. As a result, patch 4.11 will be introducing one new and one might-as-well-be-new item in the form of Quill Coat and Spirit of the Ancient Golem, both of which should cater heavily to the tanky utility-focused junglers in the game. We also went through and brought a few champions we felt needed additional love up to speed, as well as one mini-renovation for Maokai so that he could feel better about being back in the spotlight.
With the League of Legends World Championships on the horizon, we've also begun looking at high-level competitive changes we can make, like turret modifications and some reductions in dominant champion power. Froggen - Anivia One champion you might be expecting to see in this category but isn't (Lucian) is still in the garage as we're thinking about the best approach to take. I'm telling you now because we want you to know that we know he's particularly strong as a well-rounded marksman (especially in competitive play), but we want to make sure we can highlight a meaningful weakness (and strength) in Lucian before moving forward.
And that's it for today's foreword! Check out the patch notes below, and remember that you can now navigate through the notes via a handy floating table of contents on the right side (desktop / laptop viewers only!). Time to dust off my Sejuani!Froggen - Anivia vs Karma - Mid
