League of Legends patch 11.4 official notes introduces Jungle nerfs along with massive champion and item updates

League of Legends patch 11.4 is gearing up to be an incredibly big one, as Riot will be looking to bring in a significant amount of changes to the Jungle; to Champions as well as to a lot of the Mythic Items.

The jungle will be getting a lot of nerfs this time around, and no more will the meta favor AFK farming champions who just want to sit back and farm up a storm in the neutral camps. Proactivity on the sidelines and ganks, will be preferred once League of Legends patch 11.4 goes live.

Kai’Sa, Katarina, and Samira will be receiving a lot of tweaks as well, and while for Katarina it’s a buff, Kai’Sa and Samira are set up for some nerfs.

Items will be tweaked as well to balance the game's competitive play state, and those with self-healing passives will be targeted for the time being.

League of Legends fans looking for a detailed description of patch 11.4 can look up Riot’s official website.

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

#4. League of Legends Incoming healing update

After seeing the incoming healing tech live for some time, Riot has come to a few conclusions. Incoming healing is “very satisfying” for the player using it and their allies, but it can hurt the clarity around how much health enemies have in intense combat situations. The devs also found that when combined with shields and gray health, the stacked bars could be a “bit confusing.” Riot is making a few changes in this patch to address this and is planning to roll out the tech to more systems in the future (i.e health potions and Mundo’s ultimate).

• Incoming healing only displays for that player and their allies
• Incoming healing now has a special bar treatment to differentiate it from other health bar effects

Shop updates

• You can now drag the corner of the shop to scale the size up and down
• The Quickbuy Panel has gained some additional smarts around trinkets. It will now automatically swap the order of the trinkets depending on the one you have equipped to save you a bit of time
• Bug fixes and performance improvements

Clash Build-a-Team

• Alongside the Clash 2021 season VP track starting in 11.4, you’ll see the second iteration of Riot’s Build-a-Team feature in Clash. This version will allow players to find and request to join teams that are looking for more players to fill out their roster. This should help turn your roster of three or four players into a five-person team to crush the Clash tournament.

Bug fixes and quality of life changes

• League client: The loyalty badge is no longer missing from Collections
• League client: Fixed a memory leak that would happen with every mission’s celebration in the post-game, providing improved reliability
• Rell’s Passive – Break the Mold’s armor shred VFX have been adjusted when affecting minions or small monsters
• Fixed a bug where Jinx’s Q – Switcheroo’s rocket AS penalty was also affecting her base AS, not just her bonus AS
• Adjusted Sterak’s Gage’s AD to the appropriate amount
• Fixed a bug where Control Wards would be unavailable to purchase when a slot in the player’s inventory became empty after using consumables outside the Fountain
• Fixed a bug where Talon’s R – Shadow Assault would become visible to enemies when he kills any enemy with it while holding Duskblade of Draktharr
• Fixed a bug where Duskblade of Draktharr’s invisibility would be canceled if the champion holding it earned a takedown while invisible
• Fixed a bug where a rooted or grounded champion would still be able to use Stridebreaker
• Fixed a bug where Galeforce’s Cloudburst would launch fewer projectiles than intended when the champion is teleported to Mordekaiser’s R – Realm of Death while channeling it
