Today, March 25th, Riot has released new League of Legends patch notes. There are four new skins in the store now, two of them of corse belonging to the new champion Rumble. Personally I'm pretty excited about the Dreadknight skin for Nasus.
Another cool feature they added was now party leaders for ranked and solo ques can grant other players access to inviting other people, which of coarse just makes the whole process easier.
As we all know this patch is huge for a lot of champions, Alistar, Gankplank, and Fiddlesticks are all getting changed dramatically, and for the best in my opinion.
Overall this patch is going to be very solid in my opinion. Enjoy reading the League of Legends patch notes and we'll talk to you next week!
League of Legends Patch Notes
New Skins in the Store
- Bilgerat Rumble

- Users can now grant other members of their Ranked or Normal team permission to invite other users.
Rumble, The Mechanized Menace
- Flamespitter: Rumble torches the area in front of him with his flamethrower dealing damage to all units in a cone for several seconds. While in the “Danger Zone,” this spell deals additional damage.
- Scrap Shield: Rumble creates a shield blocking incoming damage for several seconds and granting a short duration speed boost. While in the “Danger Zone,” the shield’s strength and speed boost increase.
- Electro-Harpoon: Rumble launches a missile that deals magic damage and applies a stackable slow on the target. A second shot can be fired for no additional cost within several seconds. While in the “Danger Zone,” the damage and slow percentage is increased.
- The Equalizer (Ultimate): Rumble calls down a line of rockets over the target location. Enemies in the scorched area take damage over time and are slowed.
- Junkyard Titan (Passive): Rumble's abilities generate heat. When Rumble is above 50 heat, he is in the "Danger Zone," causing all his basic spells to have additional effects. When Rumble reaches 100 heat he overheats, silencing himself and causing his physical attacks to deal additional magic damage. Rumble loses heat over time.
