League of Legends patch 10.6 should go live this week on Wednesday, March 18. The official patch notes will be released tomorrow, but looking at the current PBE changes for the 10.6 cycle and the changelist from Mark Yetter (Riot Scruffy), these next buffs and nerfs will be coming our way.

As we noted in the previous Patch preview for 10.5, we will leave Wukong out of our list since we’re not 100% sure he’s going to make it this patch. As soon as we get some news about the kit rework, we will update you with a full article and take a closer look at the new Monkey King.
