League of Legends

Lol Patch 11.23 Preview – New Items, Dragons & Mode Coming Soon

A new update will soon be available in League of Legends, bringing all the preseason changes into the live servers. The LoL patch 11.23 includes new skins, VFXs for Jayce and Caitlyn and Ultimate Spellbook, although this isn’t even its highlight. The new update brings two new dragons into the Summoner’s Rift as well as new items and several changes to existing items and runes.

The patch 11.23 in Lol releases on December 2, 2021. Take a look below for all item, rune and mechanic changes:

Mechanics – Lol Patch 11.23

Objectives

BARON & ELDER DRAGON – 500 gold

DRAKES & RIFT HERALD – 500 gold

OUTER TURRET – 250 gold

INNER TURRET – 400 gold

BASE TURRET – 400 gold

Chemtech Drake

CHEMTECH DRAKE BUFF – Grants up to 5% bonus damage per stack against enemies with 340-1020 (your level 1-18) more current health than you

CHEMTECH DRAGON SOUL – When a team obtains the Chemtech Dragon Soul, they receive a buff that grants them a brief second life upon their next death. Champions revive with 80% of their base health + 50% of their bonus health and gain 75/30% (melee/ranged) decaying Move Speed. Revived champions take 40% less damage, deal 33% less damage, and take damage equal to an ever-increasing percent of their starting health every 0.25 seconds

You might notice that Chemtech Soul is similar to the Ruined Drake buff from Ultimate Spellbook this summer, and it is!

CHEMTECH RIFT – Gas zones emerge in four jungle locations that camouflage any champion within it. Champions within the zone deal up to 10% more damage to enemies who have more current health than them. Maximum damage is achieved when at 340-1020 (based on the attacker’s level) less health than them

CAMOUFLAGE – Camouflaged enemies are not revealed by regular vision wards, but are revealed by Control Wards, Scryer’s Blooms, and effects that reveal invisible units. They’re also revealed while you’re standing near them

Hextech Drake

HEXTECH DRAKE BUFF – Grants 5 Ability Haste and 5% attack speed per stack

HEXTECH DRAGON SOUL – When a team obtains the Hextech Drake Soul, they gain a chain lightning slow on their next basic attack or ability that deals 25-75 true damage (based on champion level 1-18), bounces to 3 additional targets, and slows units hit by 45/35% (melee/ranged) (+5% per 1000 bonus health, +1% per 100 AP, +3% per 100 bonus AD) for 2 seconds (8 second cooldown)

HEXTECH RIFT – Pairs of Hex-gates appear across the map which allow champions to quickly travel from one location to its paired counterpart. Hex-gates are activated with a brief channel that can be interrupted by immobilizes or damage. Each pair of Hex-gates has a 30 second individual cooldown per champion
