League of Legends Patch 11.5 is going to feature Udyr, Seraphine, and Rell nerf, while Master Yi, Pyke, and some others are set to receive buffs as well.

The first few patches after the 2021 preseason were all about balancing and adjusting the new items. Riot pushed multiple hotfixes and balance updates to shape the meta from “overpowered” items and champions. Because of how dominant the jungle role was, Riot even nerfed the jungle in patch 11.4.

However, there are still some champions like Udyr and Seraphine who are still terrorizing the meta. Seraphine currently has a massive 57.64% win rate in the bot lane, while Udyr also has around 54%. Besides them, Rammus, Shaco Support, Rell, Azir, and Gragas are also having a great impact on both the solo queue and pro games. Riot is nerfing all of them in LoL Patch 11.5. Needless to say, Senna is also abusing Guinsoo’s on-hit effect in the current patch.

On the other hand, Pyke, Karma, Trundle, Master Yi, Sejuani, Jax, Samira, Samira, and Kog’Maw are set to receive buffs on Patch 11.5, as confirmed by League of Legends Gameplay Design Director Mark “Scruffy” Yetter.
