Patch 26.16 is a big one. League Classic gets its first major content update, bringing three brand new old champions in Akali, Kennen, and Shen, along with new placeholder runes and a wave of era-appropriate balance changes. Over in the main game, Riot is cracking down on early support roaming and bot lane mages, retuning ADC magic resistance, support role quest progress, and jungle pet scaling to open the door for more diverse team comps. Azir, Gwen, and Kennen all pick up buffs, Bel'Veth gets reined in after a scorching scaling curve, and Camille, Nasus, and Poppy get reworked power curves rather than straight buffs or nerfs. Ten items get retuned to push AD fighters and mid lane mages back into balance, Arena brings back Bravery Wednesdays alongside a hefty champion tuning pass, and ARAM: Mayhem adds two new item-upgrading Augments built for fighters. Top it off with the new Faerie Court skin line for Bel'Veth, Gwen, and Lulu, and there's a ton to dig into this patch.
