Without further to do, let’s take a look all everything coming in patch 11.22.

Following the same trend as with patch 11.20, League’s next update features some fixes towards a handful of champions, as confirmed on the preview released by Riot Phlox, one of the designers on the Summoner’s Rift team.

Starting with the buffs, the biggest ones will be coming for Riven, whose Ki Burst’s damage and Valor’s shield will be increased at all levels, and for Kayn as his Reaping Slash’s AD Ratio and Umbral Trespass’ HP Ratio is set to be powered up, but only for his Rhaast form.

Akali’s passive damage will also be increased in flat, and %AP stats, Kalista’s and Varus’s E Ratio will be upgraded from 60% to 70% and 90%, respectively. Lastly, all of Renekton’s stun changes from patch 11.21 will be reverted.
