11.6 and school’s in session!
But have no fear, your handy dandy cheat sheet here: the big snapshots of this patch include a refresh button for Xin Zhao and an overall reduction targeting systemic healing (i.e. from runes and items). Staying alive is one thing, but it’s a problem when certain champs start feeling invincible.
Once you’re done hitting the books, hit the rift, ace the enemy team, and school your opponents. We’ll see ya next period patch.
And for those of you who hate studying, take this portal to [TFT patch notes](https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/teamfight-tactics-patch-11-6-notes/) to check in on a universe where school’s out forever.

Champions
[Akali](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/akali/)
Base health decreased and health growth increased. Passive energy restore removed. Q cost increased early and decreased later; bonus damage removed. W now increases Akali’s maximum energy. E total damage increased; first hit damage ratio decreased; second hit damage ratio increased. R first dash now deals magic damage and has increased later scaling with AP.
From the start of most games, Akali is able to wield her durability to help her coast through even the most difficult early lane phases. We’re reducing her early game tankiness so that her laning success isn't always guaranteed, but in return, we’re giving her an overall net buff with later dueling payoff, so that when she strikes, it’s deadly. In addition, we're also making her energy management more intuitive so that if you’re just now picking her up, it doesn’t take so much… energy?
