Full 7.11 notes on latest patch update

Crowd Control Text, Ban Formats, & Custom Games

With the addition of crowd control name displays above health bars as a dedicated solution, crowd control doesn’t need to be included in floating combat text any more.

IT WAS REDUNDANT Removed floating combat text for crowd control effects

Ban Formats – Normals & Ranked

We’re adding a simultaneous 10-champ ban phase to all draft Summoner’s Rift modes throughout 7.11, starting with Normal Draft in NA. We want to make sure all players have more agency in the ban phase, as well as attempting to make the time taken to get into game significantly shorter.

LAUNCH NA Normal Draft only at launch, will be rolled out throughout the patch worldwide (including ranked queues)

TOTAL BANS 6, with the last 3 picks of each team getting a ban ⇒ 10, with every player getting a ban

BAN MODEL Sequential ⇒ Simultaneous

BAN VISIBILITY Bans aren’t shown to the enemy team until the end of the ban phase

DUPLICATION Bans can be duplicated across teams

HARDCORE MODE “No ban” is now an option

Custom Games

Regular custom games are unchanged for now while we do some backend tweaks to how custom games work. Tournament Draft custom games are switching to the esports format which has been in use for a while, but the UI might be a little unclear for launch. We’ll be cleaning this up in a later patch.

TOURNAMENT DRAFT Now uses a split draft pick/ban phase, identical to esports

CUSTOM DRAFT PICK Unchanged for now
