LoL Patch 7.7 Balance Changes
That out of the way, let’s start with the really important bit, shall we? What you need to remember is that stuff on the PBE like this is neither guaranteed to happen, nor to be in the next patch even if it does. This is what the folks over at Riot are thinking about doing. We’ve got the numbers on what’s changing, and a general guideline on which way each champion, item, mastery, summoner spell or rune is moving.

LoL Patch 7.7 New Skins
Second most important: cosmetics. Lovely, gorgeous cosmetics. Bit more of a visual medium this, so we’ve grabbed the best videos of each skin, as well as a lovely pic or two. Some are relatively simple changes, while others are total reworks of every part of the champion outside the gameplay numbers – new VO, new animations, new particles and the rest. It’s generally defined by how much they cost, so we’ve detailed that as well.
Dreadnova Darius
Only available through the crafting system. Details from Riot.
Extremely Warhammer 40,000 splash art:
God Fist Lee Sin

LoL Patch 7.7 MSI Features
With the mid-season invitational coming up, there’s going to be in-game events to commemorate it. Some strings have been discovered in the client that point towards publicly supporting teams and having that announced in-game:
- game_chat_msi_fandom_enemy:
- @PlayerAName@ (@PlayerAChamp@) is rallying behind [X] in the MSI Fandom Battle!
- game_chat_msi_fandom_friendly:
- @PlayerAName@ (@PlayerAChamp@)is rallying behind [X]in the MSI Fandom Battle!
Presumably, a global total of wins and losses for each team based on their fans will be worked out, and someone declared the victor. Digital sports!
