League Of Legends Patch 7.2 Reworks Warwick, Blood Moon Update Teased

January 24, 2017 Sean Sullivan Comments

League of Legends' piping hot patch 7.2 is now available, meaning buffs, nerfs, reworks, and bug fixes abound, including a reworked Warwick. And you can read the lengthy patch notes to get the full picture, or experience them for yourself by entering the Rift.

Greetings, Summoners,

Welcome to 7.2, which is a continuation of our pre-season follow-up but also with a new dog. Arh-wooo.

With the dust from the assassin update having settled, we’re beefing up Lethality to put some mid-game power and snowball potential back into everybody’s favorite murder machines. We’re also continuing our work to carefully reduce early game jungler dominance, this time cutting down the amount of health junglers have during their first ganks. And while Redemption and Courage of the Colossus were both exciting pre-season debuts, we’re taking steps to let people opt into alternatives without feeling bad about it.

Beyond the big-ticket items, we’re also zooming in on a few more localized trends. Darius and Katarina have secured death grips over their early lanes, and we’re looking to loosen that up a bit. Meanwhile, Ghost is on the rise as a second “uh-oh!” button when paired with Flash, which is pretty damn frustrating to deal with. We’re sharpening the difference between the two spells - head below for the details.

That'll do it for us this patch! We look forward to seeing you on the Rift, assuming Warwick doesn’t tear us to shreds first.

GL, HF

Riot Games also took to Twitter to tease sometime soon coming Bloodmoon Update, featuring new hero skins along with an autumnal overhaul of Summoner's Rift. Feels a bit out of place seasonally, but I guess any time of the year can be spooky.
