Off-Meta Jungle champion: Zed, Darius, Mordekaiser, Morgana, and Diana to get buffs on patch 11.8

Riot Games is bringing buffs to off-meta jungle champions like Zed, Darius, Mordekaiser, Morgana, and Diana in League of Legends patch 11.8.

Last season, Riot tried to expand the Jungle champion pool by adding Darius, Garen, Talon, Zed, Diana, and Mordekaiser to the list. However, that experiment flopped drastically. Most of the champions failed to surpass a 45% win rate while others only had a 40% or below 40% win rate. And since then, Riot never really buffed off-meta jungle champion up until now.

League of Legends’ Gameplay Design Director Mark “Scruffy” Yetter has previewed the upcoming patch 11.8 today. And it seems, they are once again planning to buff off-meta Jungle picks like Zed, Darius, Mordekaiser, Morgana, and Diana on LoL patch 11.8.
