League of Legends patch 11.24 notes: Conqueror buffs, Camille nerfs, more

League of Legends patch 11.24 ⁠and the last major balance update of Season 11 is finally here. Riot is fixing several Season 12 preseason problems and adding a host of fan-voted Debonair skins to close out the season and bid goodbye to the game’s 2021 cycle.

---

• Season 11 ends with one last update
• Camille, Conqueror rune headline final season changes
• Fan-voted Debonair skins for Draven, Zed, more

---

Twelve months later, we’ve arrived at the end of the season.

Ranked grinds are done, preseason is well underway, and the end of the calendar year is flying up quickly. There’s one last hurrah for League of Legends in 2021, however, and that is the 11.24 update. Expect outliers ⁠— on both ends ⁠— to be buffed and nerfs, and all the new preseason changes to get tweaks.

“Preseason throws the meta in the air,” Riot Phlox explained, “so we’re just doing smaller balance changes… touching outliers, and following up on preseason changes.”

The new-look Debonair skins will also arrive this update.

On top of everything else, the blue essence emporium will also be open. Here’s all the details on the League of Legends patch 11.24 update, coming this week.

What’s coming in LoL patch 11.24?

All LoL champion buffs & nerfs

True to Phlox’s words, the main focus of this patch appears to be “outliers.”

The biggest nerfs come to Camille, who has dominated Season 11. She boasts a 52.14% win rate off the back of a 9.81% play rate and has been at the top of every League player’s nerfs-wishlist since mid-season. Only Graves – another possible nerfs candidate – comes close with his 51.5%/11.36% record in November.

Ivern will also be getting buffs, while Kled is getting “adjustments” this patch to bring him into line as a possible champion pick again.

Riot adds Debonair skins

The last patch of Season 11 will come with a whopping eight new skins, all of which will be expanding the classic League of Legends Debonair skin line.

The new “Debonair” releases turn each champion into suave party-going savants, complete with suits, formal gear, and champagne as far as the eye can see. The Debonair skin line originally lost a fan vote to Crime City, but the polls were so close that Riot Games decided to do both instead of leaving one out.

Here are the new Debonair skins:

• Draven
• LeBlanc
• Leona
• Malzahar
• Master Yi
• Zed
• Brand
• Brand Prestige Edition

Each Debonair skin is also expected to get between six and eight chromas, which will change up the League champs’ flair and style with colors & aesthetics.

League patch 11.24 will drop on December 8 and you can catch the complete update notes below, courtesy of Riot Games.

Skins

Debonair Brand

Longtime rival to Master Yi, Brand owns a competing chain of high-end hotels and can be seen verbally sparring with his enemy at any gala that will tolerate them. Their battles are legendary– though the property damage alone skyrockets into the tens of millions.

Video coming soon…

Debonair Draven

Debonair LeBlanc

Seemingly at every event in the city at once, LeBlanc is a ubiquitous presence throughout the strip– her unparalleled ability to shmooze matched only by her mysterious origins. There was a time when certain naysayers connected her to Crime City, but as they say… never cross Lady LeBlanc.

Debonair Leona

An enforcer at the exclusive Solari resort, Leona spends her days brutally ejecting unruly patrons from the premises and her evenings schmoozing up the city’s ultra-wealthy. Even the rich and powerful know not to trifle with the Solari’s chosen, lest they find themselves soaring out of the penthouse suite and down into the sidewalk.

Debonair Malzahar

An associate of LeBlanc’s from her days in Crime City, now established as a mover and shaker in his own right. While the two cross paths on occasion, Malzahar has certain… outside interests to consider, and those business partners have promised him more than any mortal could ever dream of.

Debonair Master Yi

A powerful businessman of few words, often seen staring down on “his” strip from the comfort of his posh presidential suite. Despite his cold demeanor, Yi enjoys the finer things in life, and demands only the finest fits for his world-famous evening attire.

Debonair Zed

The most powerful (and powerfully dressed) man in Nox Vegas, Zed has been dabbling in more than fancy parties and cutthroat deal-making. A new crowd from Crime City has entered his inner circle, granting this debonair gentleman an unbreakable stranglehold over the strip– and a dreadful new change in both mind and body.

League of Legends patch 11.24 is expected to be around 470mb.
