League of Legends season 11 patch 11.2 will focus on further item balance, champion changes, and much more.

Because of the massive preseason update, Riot had to push multiple balance changes to fix the “overpowered” items and champions. However, even with the preseason changes and season 11 patch 11.1 changes, some items like Imperial Mandate and Hextech Rocketbelt are still being abused by certain champions in League of Legends.

League of Legends Gameplay Design Director Mark “Scruffy” Yetter has previewed League of Legends patch 11.2. And it seems they are pushing a big update for the new items again while champions like Aatrox, Olaf, and Akali are set to receive nerfs.

LoL Patch 11.2 Release Date

League of Legends patch 11.2 is going to release on Thursday, January 21, 2021. Usually, the server goes into maintenance at 3:00 am PT for NA, 5:00 UK time for EUW, and 3:00 CET for EUNE.
