Riot provides details for enchanter support item adjustments coming in League of Legends patch 11.8

League of Legends patch 11.8 is gearing up to be a rather big one, as Riot plans on bringing in a significant amount of changes to some of the champions and items in the game.

The jungle role will be affected the most this time around. And the League of Legends devs will be looking to increase the champion pool for the role by providing a great amount of quality of life updates for Morgana, Darius, and Zed in the jungle.

Additionally, Rammus will be getting a significant amount of changes as League of Legends’ resident Armordillo is gearing up for a small rework. Riot will be providing him with a bit more playmaking potential and agency during both the early game and late game team fights.

For the items, League of Legends patch 11.8 will be looking to tone down some of the more overpowered enchanter support builds.

Items like the Moonstone Renewer, Staff of Flowing Water, and Chemtech Putrifier have been incredibly overpowered when used on champions like Seraphine, Lulu, and Karma. This gave rise to the Karma/Lulu top lane meta in both pro play and standard matchmaking,

Hence, the League of Legends devs will be adjusting these items in patch 11.8 to make them more viable for the support role than in the solo lanes.
