League of Legends season 10 is into full swing and there’s plenty to get excited about. There are 120 new LoL Champion skins – including a free new-look Volibear skin for his players – some new LoL Champions, and team mode Clash to come this year – and now the next round of changes has hit the MOBA game’s PBE servers. That means it’s time to see what’s on the way for League of Legends patch 10.3 – get ready for some super sweet goodies!
First up, it looks like some of those new skins are already on the way, with two Valentine’s Day-ready looks for marskman Champ Jinx and enchanter Yuumi. The Heartbreakers line makes a return with Heartseeker skins for the ‘Loose Cannon’ and ‘Magical Cat’. Sweet! You can get a good look at those below.
But that’s not all – remember the True Damage Senna Prestige Edition skin designed by Louis Vuitton that Riot announced last year? Well, it’s here – Senna’s stunning new look has just arrived on the testing servers. Plus, there are VFX updates for Annie and Nautilus on the way which should give the long-established Champs some all-new sizzle.
In addition, there’s a pretty giant batch of Champion balance changes this patch across the roster – with Aphelios, Senna, and Miss Fortune seeing some pretty key adjustments in particular. Read on to check out the League of Legends patch 10.3 notes in full.

VFX Changes
Riot says it’s made the following changes to Annie’s visual effects (and offers some extra context):
Base Kit:
“P – Cleaned up Passive indicator and added a Passive hit overlay on those stunned by Annie.
BA – New missiles and hits.
Q – New missiles and hits, and now has a small cast effect.
W – New cone AOE now matching the actual hitbox, and added a hit effect. Also made a new UI QuickCast indicator to match the actual hitbox.
E – Added the ripples effect often used in damage reduction shields, and modernized the effect as a whole. She now burns the ground under her!
R – New cast effect with better representation of its hitbox. New idle effects on Tibbers. Now has a fire effect all around Tibbers to hint at its AOE damage range.
Idle Effects – Modernized idle fire effect.”
Skin Changes:
“All Skins: Cleaned up and matched base changes.
Goth Annie: Recolored from Base.
Annie in Wonderland: Now has Legendary-tier VFXs! Thematic goal was to make it feel Wonderland-y, dreamy, magical. Also has new Recall and Dance VFXs. Let us [Riot] know how you feel about this!
Frostfire Annie: Recolored from Base.
Panda Annie: Some cleanup and matched base changes.
Hextech Annie: W should better represent the hitbox. Some cleanup, and matched base changes.
Super Galaxy Annie: Some cleanup and matched base changes.
Annie-versary: Matched base changes.”
Base Kit:
“P – New root and hit effect.
BA – Now has trails on all his attacks. Also new impacts.
Q – New Q missile (finally) representing his actual hitbox (as best as possible). Slightly tweaked the UI QuickCast arrow to better match the length/width of the missile.
W – Some cleanup and new shield effect. Removed floating anchor from DoT in favor of a more subtle dark ray of light. Also cleaned up his eyes effect while W is active. New AOE hit effect reflecting the actual size of the AOE.
E – Minor cleanup.
R – Adjusted sizes of explosions to better match their hitbox, and added a new indicator on the target, which should now reflect the actual hitbox of the approaching charge.”
Skin Changes:
“All Skins: Cleaned up and matched base changes.
Astronautilus: Some cleanup, matched base changes and added new VFXs across the whole kit. More asteroids, stars, and space stuff!”
LEAGUE OF LEGENDS PATCH 10.3 LOGIN SCREEN
Every League of Legends patch has its own login screen. They’re usually great, and patch 10.3’s is sure to be no exception. It’s not clear yet what its theme might be, but with some new Heartseeker skins on the way, perhaps we could see a Heartbreakers – or even early Valentine’s Day- themed screen.
That’s all we’ve got for League of Legends patch 10.3. You can stay up to date with the current version of the game via the League of Legends patch 10.2 notes and our LoL tier list of champions for 10.2. Be sure to check back for the LoL patch 10.4 notes in the very near future, too.
