The League of Legends patch 10.1 has rolled out this week and tomorrow we’ll be getting Season 10. That’s when we’re also supposed to learn some new details that were teased in Riot’s recent teaser video.
But until tomorrow, let’s head over to the latest changes happening in patch 10.2 which is currently in PBE. We’ll focus on the changes to champions and leave aside the new Guardian of the Sands and Dragonslayer skins or miscellaneous which you can check out on Skin Spotlight.
League of Legends Patch 10.2 PBE – Champion Balance Changes
League of Legends Patch 10.2 should go live on Wednesday, January 22 after two weeks of PBE cycle for testing and tweaking – this means that everything you will read in all our PBE articles is subject to change depending on test results.
Since Patch 10.2 has just been introduced in PBE, the balance team hasn’t yet drafted a bigger amount of champions that need further balancing. There were some changes that had to be added faster, so they were pushed to the live client on January 8 through a mid-patch hotfix (check it out on the League website here).
For now, only Wukong is being tested in 10.2. Let’s see his full kit and what has been tweaked in the past months. You can check out the entire details right from Riot Lutzburg, who is the leader of the team that has been working on Wukong.
