League of Legends Patch 11.4 is now available for all players, its patch notes announcing the planned release date alongside a first set of changes targeting Katarina, Viego, Samira, Urgot and more.
As reflected in its patch schedule, LoL Patch 11.4 is slated for Thursday, February 18, which is when the changes are set to hit live servers.
Like in the case of its peers, the LoL 11.4 maintenance schedule will be revealed closer to launch. Usually, it takes about 3 hours for patches to be deployed. Checking our League of Legends Server Status article is a good way to keep yourself informed on server downtime caused by patch deployment or other reasons.
League of Legends Patch 11.4 will break tradition and not introduce any new skins. The Lunar Beasts limited-time event has, instead, brought various cosmetics for players to purchase.
No new skins this PBE cycle, catch y'all next time! 💫

This patch will, however, bring some changes to Withered Rose Syndra and Talon that didn’t make it in with 11.3 going live.
Looks like a few PBE feedback changes weren’t submitted into 11.3, and will be in 11.4.

A series of jungle nerfs are also planned for League’s 11.4 Patch, aiming to bring the bonuses earned from killing monsters closer to the power level of those from Season 10.
