The League of Legends patch cycle continues. Now that League of Legends patch 11.15 has been released to live servers, its follow-up has started to debut on the MOBA game proving grounds for what seems like an extended period of time in this round: a three week development cycle, instead of the usual fifteen-day rotation we are used to. So, with a ton of new content ahead of us, let’s take a look at what’s coming for League of Legends patch 11.16, shall we?
While the previous two updates had to do with the Sentinels, the Ruined King, Viego, and of course the new champion Akshan, this time it’s about a new batch of Coven skins. Themed around the alternate universe, all about the attempts of some dark deities to return to the world, “challenged only by the light of the eclipse”, the new Coven skins are coming up for the lucky champions Ahri, Ashe, Cassiopeia, Evelynn, Malphite , Warwick. and LeBlanc, which gets a Prestige Edition version.
As is often the case when a patch is new to the PBE, there are no balance changes to see yet, but it is very likely that we will see some arriving in the next few days, so keep checking these notes.
However, Riot’s “mid-range Sona update” planning to release with patch 11.16 has now made its way to PBE, which you can see in the Sona update section below.
For now, let’s take a look at what’s coming up: here are the tentative League of Legends Patch 11.16 Notes (Health, Surrender to 20!):

- Your Shop is back on PBE (offering a custom sale on champion skins based on match history, with six offers available).
- Riot has noticed some changes for Graves based on his Sentinel skin hitbox:
To explain: the first Q missile is very thin, while the return missile is much wider. The rapid launch indicator correctly shows the initial width of the missile, but the visual effects only showed that initial width in game, rather than the appropriate width of the returning missile.
