The official patch notes for League of Legends Patch 10.22 have been revealed

Players are grinding to reach their dream rank, exciting changes are being added to the PBE, and the World Championship final is just days away – three telltale signs that the tenth League of Legends ranked season is coming to a close. To ensure the final few weeks of the season run smoothly, the balance team have released their final batch of changes for Season 10 in Patch 10.22.

Even in the turbulent end of season conditions, the balance team continued their excellent levels of communication with the player base by releasing a preview of Patch 10.22 last week. Riot Scruffy, the lead gameplay designer for League of Legends, posted a list of provisional changes on Twitter which is strikingly similar to the official patch notes released today.

The biggest changes of Patch 10.22 are for Annie and Brand. Annie’s Molten Shield can now be cast on allies, providing them with increased movement speed and resistances based on the Dark Child’s total ability power. As for Brand, he’s received buffs for Conflagration and Pyroclasm which should see his overall DPS improved.

Also, let’s not forget that Seraphine, the Starry-Eyed Songstress, will be making her Summoner’s Rift debut at some point during Patch 10.22!

Speaking of Seraphine, she’ll be joining the four members of K/DA in a brand new skin line heading to the game on this patch. K/DA ALL OUT is a skin line celebrating the League of Legends digital pop group’s debut EP “ALL OUT”, set for release on Tuesday, 3 November 2020.

Patch 10.22 is set to be added to League of Legends live servers on the morning of Wednesday, 28 October 2020. Check out the Riot Games service status page for maintenance updates.
