Just a few hours ago, patch 10.6 was officially updated on Riot Games’ servers, expected to reach the Vietnam League of Legends server in about 2-3 days. The most notable change is the rework of Wukong with significant updates to his W – Decoy ability. Following that are some critical nerfs to Garen and Darius, champions that are currently too strong in the top lane. Specific information:
Changes to Ranked
Now, the number of “Blind Pick” players on both teams will always be equal, avoiding the situation where one side has more players in off-roles while the other does not, leading to unfair matches. Riot is testing this in solo queue in this patch; if the system works well, it will be updated to other modes as well.
