The next League of Legends update will be available in almost a week, and here you can take a look at LOL 11.6 patch notes. The update will implement some big changes to Xin Zhao. A combination of nerfs and buffs will hit the champion to make him a more useful playable character in the game.

Aside from the Xin Zhao changes, a new list of Battle Academia skins will be available for Caitlyn, Yone, Leona, Garen, and Wukong. Not to mention that as always, some items will be changed for the purpose of balancing. Below, you can have a full detailed look at the LOL 11.6 patch notes.
