League of Legends Patch 26.1 Notes

Alongside the new Seasonal changes we have the new Demacia themed Summoner's Rift map, ARAM Mayhem balance updates, an overhaul to Swiftplay to make it even swifter, Lobby Hostage taking, and more! Best of luck in your climbs, or your augment rolls, and we'll see you in Demacia!

This year, we're introducing a major new concept to Summoner's Rift: Role Quests. Building off the item-based quests that junglers and support players have had for years, we're adding new lane-phase defining quests for the other three positions and updating the existing quests for support and jungle. You'll be automatically assigned the position quest corresponding to the role you've queued up as—if you want to trade positions, you'll need to do that during champion select. And the game will now reward playing out your lane matchup, at least for the first few minutes every game. This change will also help us better balance and tackle the pro play meta around lane swaps going forward, so no more LANE SWAP DETECTED pop ups. Every position will receive quest rewards for successfully completing their role quest. For top, mid, and bot lane players, these will be entirely new advantages. For support and jungle players, your existing rewards will be updated, and you'll be receiving some new rewards as well.
