Jinx lands in Tier 3 at 48.0%
It's the biggest fall since 26.21, over 3,855 games. She's off the ban-at-almost-any-rank list now too, along with Miss Fortune and Teemo.
Irelia goes from Tier 2 to God Tier in mid
She's winning 55.5% of 776 games. That's the best win rate in God Tier right now.
Coming in 26.22
Patch 26.22 goes live November 4. Here's what Riot's preview lines up.
Locke's early damage gets cut
Riot thinks Ritual Nails [Q] hits too hard early, so it's a sizable nerf that comes to about 30 damage at max. Soul Ignition [W] loses movement speed too, which makes it costlier to spam while running around the map.
Viktor gets some scaling back
Riot says last patch's nerfs overshot. The slower move speed stays, and the power comes back in his scaling.
Rumble and Shen pick up a bit
Pro play patches are done, so Rumble gets power even after a run as one of the strongest pro picks. Shen's jungle gets a small bone since players find it fun.
DJ Sona Ultimate Remix hits the PBE
It's a Mythic. Cafe Cuties Neeko and Zoe are there too, both Epic.
Skins, modes and events
ARAM: Mayhem runs Journey to Stardom until January 27

True Damage Know My Name is in the store
Prestige Ekko leads the line, with Akali, Qiyana, Senna and Yasuo alongside. They came out with 26.21.
What Riot said
Mel's W gets reworked for 26.22
It still destroys projectiles, just without hard countering part of the roster. Riot tried versions that kept the reflect, couldn't land one and apologized to Mel players.
After being on Live for a while, it's clear that many players feel that Mel's reflect was too frustrating to play againstMatt Leung-Harrison, lead gameplay designer, October 27

Riot is honoring Lauri "Cyanide" Happonen, the Season 1 World Champion, who passed away. Claim the Cyanide the First title and Jarvan IV, then play 3 games on him to unlock the skin.
