League of Legends patch 11.21 official notes: Goredrinker nerfs; Teemo and Viego buffed

League of Legends patch 11.21 will look to bring some minor tweaks and balance updates to the game and not shift the champion meta around too much.

Virgo, Teemo, and Lux are in for some significant buffs this time around, while Graves, Miss Fortune, and Akshan get some of their early and late-game power taken away from them.

Goredrinker will also be heading into some nerfs, and AD bruisers and assassins will not be able to abuse this item once patch 11.21 goes live. Additionally, there will be numerous tweaks to runes and keystones, as well as Riot prepares for preseason 12 in November.

League of Legends fans looking for a detailed patch description can look up Riot’s official website.

However, for a brief overview, here are all the major highlights.
