The latest League of Legends patch update is out, and it’s especially exciting for ADC players.

Riot have focused on the role in the Patch 10.11 update, and have buffed marksman champions, stating that “It’s clear that markspeople have been struggling for a while. Their squishiness makes it difficult to stay alive in lane, especially in the critical early phases of the game.” To help players in this role along, they have drawn up health stats and boosted their mobility for later in the game using some freshly amped-up items. Riot’s explanation for doing this was to remedy players being punished for executing exciting plays.

They also chose to look at marksman champions who can solo lane that aren’t so dependent on supports, such as Lucian, Vayne, Tristana, and Kalista, and give them an equal amount of power as other champions. Riot stated that they have “distinguished other treats for these folks that more accurately hit the mark!”

There are also general balance changes for champions such as Lux and Fiddlesticks, and a newly-reworked Volibear has made his debut.

Here are the full patch notes for League of Legends 10.11.

Champions

Volibear

Passive – The Relentless Storm

• Volibear’s attacks and abilities grant attack speed, and eventually cause his basic attacks to deal bonus magic damage to nearby enemies.

Q – Thundering Smash

• Volibear gains speed towards enemies, stunning and damaging the first one he attacks.

W – Frenzied Maul

• Volibear damages an enemy, applying on-hit effects and marking them. Casting this spell again on the same target deals bonus damage and heals Volibear.

E – Sky Splitter

• Volibear summons a lightning bolt at a location, dealing damage and slowing enemies while granting Volibear a shield if he’s inside the blast radius.

R – Stormbringer

• Volibear leaps to a target location, slowing and damaging enemies beneath him while gaining bonus health. Enemy towers near his landing location become temporarily disabled.

Marksman changes

“The marksman class has major durability problems, especially in the early laning phase where their power feels heavily reliant on their supports,” Riot said. “This has been causing issues in gameplay satisfaction since a marksman’s strength relies on the length of time they’re alive. By increasing their mobility (via items) and base health, we feel that ADCs won’t be punished so aggressively when they fail and will still have a chance to bounce back and unlock their power in fights.”

Each champion listed below gets a similar base stats boost in their health and health growth.
