The live patch on the League of Legends client has brought the reworked Fiddlesticks, and you’ve probably noticed it in the jungle nearly in every single game since it went live. As patch 10.7 rolled to the live servers, patch 10.8 headed towards the PBE client for testing.

Let’s see all the balance changes coming next week when patch 10.8 should go live on April 15. Note that the following stats and details are subject to change, considering we’re bound to see a few more tweaks this week.

League of Legends 10.8 PBE – Balance Changes

Before heading over to the full balance changes list for patch 10.8, here is some context from Mark Yetter (Riot Scruffy), the Lead Gameplay Designer for League of Legends:

“10.8 Patch Preview:

• Rebalancing the ADC meta
• Jungler personal power vs gank

Full changes coming tomorrow, feedback always welcome.”

He also mentioned what “Jungler personal power” means:

“For those asking – jungler personal power is the shift we’ve been testing on PBE

• – Weaker early ganks (XP and homeguard)
• + More XP and Sustain for junglers”

[UPDATE]: “Small update for 10.8 preview -Pulled back on Trist changes – E bonus AD ratio 50-130 >>> 50-150 -Lux changes not shipping this patch” – source

We’ve added Lux and a few more tweaks to Master Yi and Urgot. Although the changes don’t show up in the changelist (pictured below) from Riot Scruffy, they have appeared on PBE. We’ll know for sure what will come to patch 10.8 later this week as the balance work and testing is reaching the final stage.

Check back on our League of Legends page for more updates on PBE but also on the live client. We’re also updating Teamfight Tactics: Galaxy players with the state of the current PBE patch, so head over to this page for more details.
