Major patches, balance updates, and bug fixes — the latest patch notes for all major games, delivered fast.
Riot's tag fighter 2XKO ships Patch 1.2.5 on July 23. The update overhauls the Fuse system — reworking Juggernaut and nerfing Freestyle — while trimming Ahri, Thresh, and Illaoi to shake up the meta.
