Patch update 7.16 is now live in League of Legends. Besides updates to champions and changes made for Worlds 2017, here are all the bugfixes that were finally addressed.

With patch update 7.16 now live, Summoners are undoubtedly enjoying the new Arcade Boss World Event that showcases new villain skins for Brand, Ziggs, and Malzahar. Besides changes to champions and especially mid lane options played by Esports players for Worlds 2017, developers of League of Legends also fixed a plethora of bugs in the game.

Right off the bat, most bugfixes addressed SFX issues and how certain abilities on champions looked visually. Besides that, a huge glitch was also fixed when it comes to the Rift Herald.

Before the bugfix, the Rift Herald would glitch out and hit two turrets simultaneously if dropped in the mid lane. Luckily, developers fixed this in patch update 7.16 so it won’t happen anymore. Another big patch update hit Tahm Kench, the River King.

For those of you that main him, his visuals got fixed so he’ll properly hold his fork and knife in the Summoner’s Rift. There are no more glitches with this so all is well for the popular support and top lane champion.
