League of Legends Patch 11.7: Meta Shifts, Champion Adjustments, and Groovy New Skins
Patch 11.7 Overview
The latest League of Legends update brings significant balance changes that will reshape the current meta. Patch 11.7 targets dominant champions like Udyr and Kai’Sa while introducing exciting new cosmetic content.
Key changes in this March 31 update include adjustments to jungle and bot lane dynamics, with Turbo Chemtank receiving particular attention from Riot’s balance team.
Champion Adjustments
Udyr’s dominance in Season 11 has been unprecedented, with his win rate soaring to 51.15% and nearly 10% pick rate. The patch addresses this through direct ability nerfs and adjustments to his core item, Turbo Chemtank.
Kai’Sa’s overwhelming presence (44.53% pick rate) is being reined in through increased cooldowns on her Killer Instinct ultimate during early levels. This change aims to reduce her early game dominance while maintaining late-game potential.
Several champions receive buffs to increase diversity:

Other notable item adjustments include:
