The next content patch brings new arcade skins to League of Legends!
In Patch 6.17 there are new skins, but also balance changes for various champions. In mind are the World Championships, which take place this year from September 29 to October 29 and will be played with Patch 6.18. So in Patch 6.17 and 6.18 there will only be minor balance changes to ensure more champion diversity during the World Championship.
