- Patch 26.16RosterConfirmed
Akali, Kennen and Shen joined the roster, taking it from 60 champions to 63.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Akali keeps the old Mark of the Assassin kit and Twilight Shroud. Kennen carries Marks of the Storm through the whole kit, three on one target stun for a second. Shen taunts with his dash and pulls himself to an ally with Stand United. Only Akali was among the eight champions named for the Council vote; Kennen and Shen were not on that list. Riot's roadmap card dated the patch 2026-08-12 and named nobody, the patch notes are stamped 2026-08-11.
- Patch 26.16RuneConfirmed
Nine rune options were added, five of them Energy, and Scaling Armor Seals went 0.15 → 0.17 armor per level.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Added: Minor Mark of Ability Power (+0.7 Ability Power), Seal of Energy Regeneration (+0.7 Energy Regeneration), Glyph of Energy (+2.3 Energy), Minor Glyph of Mana Regeneration (+0.33 Mana Regen / 5 sec.), Quintessence of Energy (+6 Energy), Quintessence of Energy Regeneration (+1.8 Energy Regeneration / 5 sec.), Quintessence of Health Regeneration (+1.3 Health Regen / 5 sec.), Quintessence of Mana (+38 Mana) and Quintessence of Cooldown Reduction (2.5% Cooldown Reduction). Energy runes arriving in the same patch as Akali, Kennen and Shen is the point: none of the launch 60 used Energy. Two of the nine are not in Riot's patch notes as written: the Cooldown Reduction quintessence is missing from the list entirely, and Quintessence of Mana is printed there as granting "38 Maximum Health", where the client gives +38 Mana. Scaling Armor Seals now read +3.06 at level 18, up from +2.7. Default Placeholder Rune Power also went 66% → 80%. The roadmap put new runes on 26.17, they arrived a patch early.
Patch 26.16ChampionConfirmedMaster Yi's Wuju Style cooldown was corrected after running lower than intended.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Riot did not publish the broken pre-fix values. The current JADE display calculation gives 25/23/21/19/17 seconds and a 40-mana cost; those intended values replace the lower legacy cooldown array in the local champion record.
- Patch 26.16MasteryConfirmed
Spellsword now scales its basic-attack magic damage with Ability Power.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
The mastery describes 5% of Ability Power as bonus magic damage on basic attacks; Patch 26.16 fixed that AP scaling instead of changing the printed value.
- Patch 26.16SystemConfirmed
Every turret got tougher and ability power stopped mattering against them.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Outer 3000 → 3500, inner 3250 → 3750, inhibitor 3500 → 4000, nexus 2600 → 2750. Champion damage to turrets goes from 100% total Attack Damage + 40% Ability Power to 100% total Attack Damage + 20% Ability Power. The two together price mages out of taking towers: an AP carry needs far longer on a turret that also has several hundred more health than it did.
- Patch 26.16SystemConfirmed
Gold starts later and minions are worth less.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Ambient gold starts at 90 seconds instead of 65. Passive gold per 5 seconds goes from 8 / 10.5 / 11.5 / 13 at 1 / 10 / 15 / 25 minutes to 10.5 / 11.5 / 13 at 1 / 15 / 25 minutes, so the opening rate is higher and the 10-minute step is gone. Melee minions drop to 19 gold from 20, ranged to 14 from 15.
- Patch 26.16SystemConfirmed
Homeguards are gone until 15 minutes, and early deaths cost less time.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Homeguard activation moves from 0 minutes to 15. Death timers at levels 1 to 8 drop from 12 / 14 / 16 / 19 / 22 / 25 / 28 / 30 to 10 / 12 / 14 / 17 / 20 / 23 / 26 / 29. Dying early costs less, and walking back costs more for the first quarter of an hour.
- Patch 26.16SystemConfirmed
Jungle camps scale their maximum health far harder: 250% → 315%.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Camp health scales with game time and the ceiling moved. A late clear is meaningfully slower than it was, which lengthens every rotation a jungler makes after the mid-game.
- Patch 26.16ChampionConfirmed
P Cursed Touch shreds more magic resist for longer.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Magic resist shred 15 / 20 / 25 → 15 / 25 / 35, and it lasts 4 seconds instead of 3. Amumu's own magic damage lands harder for a longer window after every autoattack.
- Patch 26.16ChampionConfirmed
Q Rocket Grab and W Overdrive both went onto longer cooldowns.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Q cooldown 20 / 19 / 18 / 17 / 16 → 22 / 21 / 20 / 19 / 18. W cooldown 15 → 20. A missed grab now costs two seconds more at every rank, on top of the damage cut.

www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Q H-28G Evolution Turret attack damage 30 / 38 / 46 / 54 / 62 → 28 / 36 / 44 / 52 / 60. E CH-1 Concussion Grenade cooldown 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 → 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 / 10.
Patch 26.16ChampionConfirmedJanna lost attack damage and her ultimate costs far more mana.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Attack damage 51.95 (+2.95 per level) → 49 (+3 per level). R Monsoon mana cost 100 / 150 / 200 → 200 / 275 / 350, which is up to 175 more mana on the ability she is picked for.
- Patch 26.16ChampionConfirmed
Jarvan IV scales less armor and pays a rising mana cost on E.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Armor per level 3.6 → 3. E Demacian Standard mana cost 55 at every rank → 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 / 75.
- Patch 26.16ChampionConfirmed
Lux moves faster and her ultimate returns much sooner.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Move speed 330 → 340. R Finales Funkeln cooldown 80 / 65 / 50 → 80 / 60 / 40, so a rank-3 ultimate is back ten seconds earlier.
- Patch 26.16ChampionConfirmed
W Impure Shots hits harder per stack and caps a stack sooner.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Bonus damage per stack 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 → 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 14, maximum stacks 5 → 4, maximum bonus damage 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 → 24 / 32 / 40 / 48 / 56. She reaches a higher ceiling in one fewer autoattack.
- Patch 26.16ChampionConfirmed
Nasus lost early life steal and W costs more mana.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
P Soul Eater life steal 14 / 17 / 20% → 10 / 15 / 20%, so only rank 3 is unchanged. W Wither mana cost 80 → 100.
- Patch 26.16ChampionConfirmed
Skarner can now use his passive on structures, and W and E both improved.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
P Energize now works on structures. W Crystalline Exoskeleton cooldown 18 → 14. E Fracture missile width 70 → 120, which is nearly double the area the skillshot covers.
- Patch 26.16ChampionConfirmed
Q Bloodlust gives far less attack damage and both his cooldowns got longer.
www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/league-of-legends-patch-26-16-notes/
Q cooldown 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 / 8 → 14 / 12.5 / 11 / 9.5 / 8, bonus attack damage per fury 5 → 3, maximum bonus attack damage 40 → 24. E Spinning Slash cooldown 8 → 9.
Patch 26.16ChampionConfirmedTwitch is slower in every sense: less attack damage, slower missiles, costlier E.

League Classic launched. Riot withheld the mode from the Match API the same day.
"League Classic match history data will not be available via the Riot API and to preserve the spirit of the mode, we ask that League Classic data not be aggregated or displayed to users in any form." Riftback therefore publishes no win, pick or ban rates for League Classic.
This sits awkwardly against Riot's own account: Phreak said on 2026-07-24 that Kassadin was one of two champions changed pre-emptively because he was overpowered, and that internal data then showed him balanced. A late ratio increase is the opposite direction. Both can be true across different builds.
- ChampionPBE, provisional
On the live build the pre-launch nerf appears to have been rolled back.
Phreak: "Runes aren't really seasonal as far as I'm concerned, but we basically took a season 4 balance point. Season 4 is when we gave every champion four base armor." The PBE diff shows it applied uniformly: Ahri 14.5 → 18.5, Rammus 24.8 → 28.8, Sona 11.3 → 15.3.
