Voice Chat Comes to League of Legends in Patch 8.6
The official patch notes for League of Legends Patch 8.6 are live, and that means the patch will be here early tomorrow morning on the North American server.
As patches go, this one is big. It includes a new voice chat feature for premade groups, a Miss Fortune ultimate skin, and buffs for assassins to compensate for a Duskblade nerf. Get ready for a potentially different meta.
Voice Chat: A New Feature for Premade Groups
Premade voice chat will arrive after Patch 8.6 goes live tomorrow. This is a huge feature, as it’s a completely new addition to the game. It will only be available for premade groups, and you can control volume levels or turn it off completely. This new feature creates direct competition with programs like Discord. To learn more, check out the official League of Legends website.
New Content in Patch 8.6
There’s a lot of new content in this patch, including new runes, new skins, and even a returning item. The new runes, Conqueror and Chrysalis, have the potential to shake up the current meta. Conqueror converts part of your outgoing damage to true damage, potentially changing the tank meta. Chrysalis turns extra health into damage. Additionally, the item Shurelya’s Reverie is making a comeback. It’s a support item that can speed up you and your team. Don’t miss out on the April Fool’s Day skins either, such as Birdio and Pizza Delivery Sivir.
A New Ultimate Skin
Gun Goddess Miss Fortune is the latest Ultimate skin in League. It offers different forms, animations, abilities, and weapons. The skin is priced at 2,775 RP.
Duskblade and Assassin Buffs
The Duskblade of Draktharr is being nerfed, but assassins are being buffed to compensate. This change makes assassins stronger and less dependent on the item. Champions like Talon, Zed, Kha’Zix, and Shadow Form Kayn are expected to hit harder. Combined with the tank nerfs in Patch 8.5, this opens up opportunities for assassins and bruisers to dominate the meta.
Guinsoo’s Rageblade Rework
Kog’Maw and Varus are champions known for rushing Guinsoo’s as a first item. However, the item is being reworked to significantly reduce their damage. On the other hand, the rework makes the item stronger in the late game for champions that scale with AP or AD.
Prepare for the changes in Patch 8.6, arriving tomorrow. Stay informed by checking out our complete list of patch notes. Get ready for an exciting update!
