April 28, 2021: Patch 11.9 has headed to live! Check out the League of Legends patch 11.10 notes to see what’s coming up next.
Spring is in full swing, League of Legends fans, and a new patch is rolling in. League of Legends patch 11.8 has left the PBE to make its debut on the live Rift, with new champion Gwen, a raft of balance changes, and new Dragonslayer and Blackfrost skins in tow. Now, it’s 11.9’s turn for a round of testing, so let’s see what’s coming.
First up, those Damwon Gaming/DWG Worlds skins Riot unveiled on social media have now hit the testing grounds, which means all-new looks for Jhin, Kennen, Leona, Nidalee, and Twisted Fate inspired by the winning team. The skin line for the five lucky League of Legends champions has a fantasy warrior aesthetic with icy blue and silver colours, and looks pretty striking. Oh, and we’ve got two new Conqueror skins on the way for Jax, too – a regular and prestige edition. You can check all these out in the champion skins section below.
There’s also now a whole lot of champion and item balance changes on the PBE to check out, including several nerfs coming up for diver champ Hecarim, which you can see below. Be sure to keep checking back over the fortnight as we’ll keep it updated with everything getting buffed, nerfed, and tweaked in the coming patch in the balance changes section below.
Anyway, that’s enough from us – on with the show. Here are the tentative League of Legends patch 11.9 notes based on what’s getting tested on the PBE right now (cheers, Surrenderat20!).

KOG’MAW VFX UPDATE As Oliver ‘Beardilocks’ McDonald recently explained on Twitter, “everyone’s favourite void pupper, Kog’Maw” is getting a VFX update soon! The champ’s now come to the PBE for a longer period of testing, and you can get an idea of what Riot’s got planned via the dev’s tweets below:
Many of his skins are just 520 or 975, but since they all had custom recolors when he was in W, I went through and made them all feel much more empowered. As a reminder, we don’t add unique VFX to anything less than a 1350, unless it already had some. pic.twitter.com/qQRElFEsPu — Riot Beardilocks (@Beardilocks) April 8, 2021
Since Lion Dance Kog’Maw WAS a 1350, I made sure he got a unique E effect. He now spits up a big ball of goopy fireworks that rolls at you pic.twitter.com/COyyzdA818 — Riot Beardilocks (@Beardilocks) April 8, 2021
Most of his modern skins just got a tidy up, and the R range indicator subtly added, as they were in a pretty good spot pic.twitter.com/Zre3Ewjf92 — Riot Beardilocks (@Beardilocks) April 8, 2021
Pug’Maw’s vfx were all updated to match the new fidelity. I also added some broken pieces of ball when his ult lands, as it was weird how the ball just disappeared before pic.twitter.com/ljZovjOWRe — Riot Beardilocks (@Beardilocks) April 8, 2021
Ok, Reindeer kog got a SIMPLE recolor. As a 975, he is viable for recoloring of his VFX. This may include some MINOR texture swaps. I know that I could go crazy and make this a full blown holiday skin, but that is not the goal for a 975 that most people can’t buy anyway pic.twitter.com/n1pwD76F4m — Riot Beardilocks (@Beardilocks) April 12, 2021
Here’s the SIMPLE VFX RECOLOR for Deep Sea Kog’maw. To reiterate – as a 975 he is able to receive a basic VFX recolor. I went with a kind of “Dark Waters” sea colored vibe. pic.twitter.com/HtnfDSL9W7 — Riot Beardilocks (@Beardilocks) April 12, 2021
Miscellaneous Changes
Full Machine Viktor is getting some changes, which are now on the PBE!
BEHOLD! Full Machine #Viktor gets a recolor as a 975. A little late from his VFX update, but I’m having fun on my week off adding value. It’s a kind of chem-tech Viktor, like he went down to Zaun. Probably will reduce the brightness a little. pic.twitter.com/Pm4soKMQFJ — Riot Beardilocks (@Beardilocks) April 14, 2021
That’s all there is for the tentative League of Legends patch 11.9 notes right now, but keep heading back to this page over the patch’s two-week-long testing cycle as we’ll keep it updated with all the changes hitting the PBE ahead of the update’s live debut. Assuming you want to keep up with all the latest changes headed to Riot’s MOBA, that is? Of course you do.
We also have a handy guide to the best League of Legends champions to play if you’re a beginner and keen to get into the game, while our sister site The Loadout has a League of Legends ranks guide if you’re on the lookout for tips on how to work your way up those ladders.

PBE Preview Conqueror edition! 💚
The DWG skins and Conqueror Jax will be legacy.
Many of his skins are just 520 or 975, but since they all had custom recolors when he was in W, I went through and made them all feel much more empowered. As a reminder, we don’t add unique VFX to anything less than a 1350, unless it already had some. pic.twitter.com/qQRElFEsPu
Since Lion Dance Kog’Maw WAS a 1350, I made sure he got a unique E effect. He now spits up a big ball of goopy fireworks that rolls at you pic.twitter.com/COyyzdA818
Most of his modern skins just got a tidy up, and the R range indicator subtly added, as they were in a pretty good spot pic.twitter.com/Zre3Ewjf92
Pug’Maw’s vfx were all updated to match the new fidelity. I also added some broken pieces of ball when his ult lands, as it was weird how the ball just disappeared before pic.twitter.com/ljZovjOWRe
Ok, Reindeer kog got a SIMPLE recolor. As a 975, he is viable for recoloring of his VFX. This may include some MINOR texture swaps. I know that I could go crazy and make this a full blown holiday skin, but that is not the goal for a 975 that most people can’t buy anyway pic.twitter.com/n1pwD76F4m
Here’s the SIMPLE VFX RECOLOR for Deep Sea Kog’maw. To reiterate – as a 975 he is able to receive a basic VFX recolor. I went with a kind of “Dark Waters” sea colored vibe. pic.twitter.com/HtnfDSL9W7
Miscellaneous Changes
BEHOLD! Full Machine #Viktor gets a recolor as a 975. A little late from his VFX update, but I’m having fun on my week off adding value. It’s a kind of chem-tech Viktor, like he went down to Zaun. Probably will reduce the brightness a little. pic.twitter.com/Pm4soKMQFJ
That’s all there is for the tentative League of Legends patch 11.9 notes right now, but keep heading back to this page over the patch’s two-week-long testing cycle as we’ll keep it updated with all the changes hitting the PBE ahead of the update’s live debut. Assuming you want to keep up with all the latest changes headed to Riot’s MOBA, that is? Of course you do.
