League of Legends 10.18 Patch Notes
Riot Games League of Legends 10.18 patch is now live on official servers. It is a really big patch when we compare it with the 10.17 patch. There is a new skin pack called PsyOps. And the game mode One for all is back again to entertain us.
The Ahri buff seems like it will hurt us a lot with the new kit and damage. And the Guardian nerf broke my heart a little because I am a player that only plays tanks. If you are interested more buffs and nerfs are below. Also, Kayle’s E can change the fate of the games that are played on League of Legends with the 10.18 patch. The other nerfs and buffs are below.
