With the newest patch that’s being released for League of Legends, players will finally get to see the results of the long-awaited Urgot rework along with other champion changes. This patch is a big one since League is gearing up for Worlds where pro players will duke it out for the championship title, so take some time to settle in and get ready for quite a lot of changes.

Welcome to patch 7.15, the one where we dial back on the Cho’Gath update and tone down some of the dominant competitive picks in the game.

For the competitive side of the game, Regional Finals are approaching. As a result, we’re trying to increase some variance at the highest levels of play, but also to create some stability, and that means many minor changes. To start, we’re giving some dominant champions love taps downwards, as well as showing some love to underplayed champions on the cusp of seeing professional play. So while it may look like a larger patch than usual, many of the changes are pretty small.

Oh, and remember Urgot? Well, we’ve pimped his ride and now he’s headed to the battlefield as a brand new juggernaut, complete with knee-shotguns. We’ll say that one more time for you. Knee-shotguns. Check ’em out.

So get out there on the Rift and read up on Urgot’s abilities, or you’ll Dread Nought knowing what he does when he grinds you to pieces

Read on to see the full list of changes in Patch 7.15:

Urgot

The crabby, tanky top laner himself that’s been all but removed from play for the past couple of years makes his return to the Rift with Patch 7.15, bringing with him a whole slew of terrifying abilities and updated features that look to make him a nightmare to deal with.

With six explosive knees, a short-range dash on a Juggernaut, and an ultimate that’s straight nightmare fuel, it’ll be interesting to see how Urgot settles into the meta once he’s released. Early impressions of the Dreadnought speak to his powerful AOE damage if he can utilize his passive to his advantage, but his low range and limited mobility may give him problems similar to other Juggernauts.

Urgot will be available for purchase with the launch of Patch 7.15.

In-Client Chat

Some changes are also being made to the in-client chat to allow for some third-person conversations, though it’ll only be available in certain chat areas.

“This little easter egg has been in the client for a while, and now we’re sharing the secret with everyone! /me is excited.”

• HAVE FUN: Starting a message with “/me” adds your summoner name to the front of the message and makes it look like a notification rather than a chat message. Use it to talk about yourself in the third person in pre-game lobbies, Clubs chat, and direct conversations.
• NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO USE THAT: “/me” doesn’t work in champion select or in-game chat

Other Changes

HUD Pings

• “Players can now ping any item, not just active items!”

Attack Move

• “Some players were already hacking the ability to rebind a-move to left-click, so we figure we’d give you the option to do so manually. Note: you use Left-Click for a surprising amount of things, and you’ll need to use Shift+Left-Click to do those things.”

• CUSTOMIZATION: We’ve added a toggle that adds attack-move commands to left clicks. You can still left click on HUD elements (ex. the item shop), but will issue attack-move commands to the target location beneath the HUD.

• OVERRIDE: While this toggle is active, use SHIFT+Left Click to interact normally with the HUD without attack-moving in the process.

Rotating Game Mode

Ascension will be the next rotating game mode that’s back in the queue for the next two weekends, returning once more to keep up with the Poro King game as the most-returning game modes the in rotating queue.

• “Go 5v5 to claim the incredible power of Ascension by taking down Ancient Ascendant Xerath. Use Ascension to conquer the Crystal Scar of Shurima.”
• “First team to reach 200 points wins. Score:
• 1 point for champion kills.
• 3 points for capturing a Shuriman relic.
• 5 points for landing the killing blow on an Ascended champion.
• 2 points for each kill you acquire while Ascended.”

Omega Squad Skins

With the new Patch 7.15 that’ll be applied to League soon, there will also be a couple of new skins joining all of the many changes that have been listed here. Teemo won’t be the only one boasting an Omega Squad skin anymore now that his friends and former teammates of Tristana, Veigar, Twitch, and Fizz will all be getting their own Omega Squad look.

To see a gallery of what all four of the skins will look like in addition to the new login screen that’s coming with them, you can see that here.
