What makes Rift Patch Notes unique?
Rift Patch Notes is the first website to make League of Legends: Wild Rift and League of Legends balance changes first class citizens - and now League Classic too. It also does what other patch sites don't: it tracks champion buff and nerf streaks across back-to-back patches, and its returning-player tool shows everything that changed since the patch you last played. If this isn't the most convenient place for you to check on champion & item buffs, nerfs, and changes, use the feedback form at the bottom right of the screen and tell me what is missing!
