It's tank time! In this patch, we've got a bit of a shake-up to the support roster. After seeing enchanters dominating for much of the year, and more recently mage supports pumping out oodles of damage with the recently re-added Deathfire Touch. We've also got some systemic adjustments to rebalance these archetypes and give melee supports some love.
Additionally, we have some adjustments for top laners, with a Heartsteel buff and a nerf to Hexplate for ranged users to make them pay a larger cost for getting a bunch of health. For Season 2 followups, Xin Zhao is going to heal a little bit less, and Smolder is getting some base damage nerfs that make building like a bruiser a little bit weaker.
Outside of that, we have some changes to some low-traffic client code, a slew of bugfixes, Arena updates, ARAM and ARAM: Mayhem bugfixes and adjustments, and more! Plus, we've got Eternal Aspects skins for Leona and Diana. And, finally, we hope you're hungry for some fine Italian dining. We've got mouthwatering skins for Sion, Illaoi, Irelia, and Vel'koz on today's menu. Mangia bene, gamers!

Pride 2026
Happy Pride everyone! We have two new emotes that you can claim for 1 Blue Essence each immediately when the patch goes live. We also have a mission that will reward you with some Battle Pass experience for playing 3 games with a premade group. And several of the previous years' emotes will be returning in for 1 Blue Essence each.
Returning icons will activate trails from Patch 26.11 through Patch 26.13. If you don't have the icons yet, grab em in the store for—you guessed it—1 Blue Essence each!
To learn more about the event and how we're celebrating in both League and TFT check out the [article](https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/celebrate-pride-2026) we released.
Ranked Leaderboards In Client
We’ve made some changes to simplify navigation in the Ranked area of the client by removing the low-use “My Leagues” feature that displays where you are relative to random players in the same tier and division. You can still see how you’re doing compared to your friends, though. So don’t worry if you like to compete with one another.
You’ll still be able to see Master+ ladders, though, so if you’re someone with dreams of Challenger, don’t worry. Keep grinding and you can get your name up there (...at least that’s what we keep telling ourselves).
Role Quest Adjustments
Mid Role Quest
Buffing the Role Quest reward as a minor follow up on the change in 26.9. We felt this reward landed a bit soft, but we think it does good things for the shape of the game by allowing mid laners their own special form of scaling.
- Bonus AD and AP: 6% ⇒ 8%
Support Adjustments
This patch, we are taking a holistic pass on the enchanter-heavy support meta that has stabilized and stagnated over the course of the year. We have a set of buffs and nerfs designed to promote tanks into the support meta, as well as some minor and major reworks to certain support items and their functionality.
First off, we have a straight buff to Grubs. In line with 26.9's changes to role quests to open up some amount of roaming and laning flexibility back into the laning phase, we are also buffing Grubs as a destination to roam to for supports.
- Damage Per Tick, Per Grub: 3 / 9 / 12 || 1.5 / 4.5 / 6 ⇒ 4 / 12 / 16 || 2 / 6 / 8
- Summoned Voidmite HP: 60% of Melee Minion ⇒ 100% of Melee Minion
