Keep updated with the League of Legends patch 8.3 notes.
The greatest information is that of the brand new champion.

This new champion’s best players will go deep into enemy territory and thrive.”
That’s fairly strongly paying homage to Kindred, League of Legends’ jungler/marksman hybrid, whose central mechanic usually entails heading to enemy jungle camps to assist achieve energy within the late sport. The picture included within the roadmap, nevertheless, appears to indicate a panorama twisted by darkish magic, much like somebody like Varus, or a void champion like Kog’Maw. Either method, it’ll be some time but till we see this new champion – patch eight.5 is a chance, however patch eight.7 may very well be extra seemingly.
Elsewhere within the roadmap, Mireles factors to adjustments to Irelia, who’ll maintain her energy in opposition to ranged champions, “poking at her enemies with a thousand tiny cuts before surging in for the kill.” Mireles additionally says that an Aatrox rework is on the way in which, because the workforce have “finally settled on a design direction we’re happy with,” and that Akali would be the “next big VGU” (visible and gameplay replace). Finally, whereas it’s “still a bit early to talk about” what’s coming after Akali, Mireles posted an image of a snowball, all-but-confirming that Nunu’s rework is lastly on the playing cards.
