So without further ado, let’s get it on and dive into the new 10.6 patch update Summoners!
BALANCED MATCHMAKING SYSTEM
Players will now notice in the new patch that Solo/Duo queue in the matchmaking system will now less likely to launch games where teams do not have the same number of autofilled players. Matches will start a little longer to put an autofilled player for the teams who have an insufficient number of players or if it’s possible to even put an autofilled player at all. This according to patch note of LOL is to ensure to make it fair as possible for each player who is into Solo/Duo matchmaking where this new system is currently integrated.
WUKONG IS BACK!
Our favorite Monkey King is now available from the champion’s roster and changes were made to it specifically on its skills. Its Crushing Blow skill’s bonus damage now includes property damage to structure. The damage dealt by its Warrior Trickster’s decoy is now also adjusted against both structures and champions.
Here is a rundown of changes done to Wukong on its stats and skills:
BASE STATS
Magic Resist: 28
Health: 540
Mana Growth: 45
PASSIVE -STONE SKIN - Wukong will not gain any more bonus magic resist for this skill. However, it will grant him a maximum of 0.5% health regen per seconds and its bonuses are increased by 62.5% for 5 seconds every time Wukong or his decoy is hit by champions or monsters
CRUSHING BLOW- Faster cast time and players will now monitor how much time left to use its empowered attack via an additional timer display. Its cooldown will also decrease to by 0.5 seconds when Wukong or his decoy deals damage.
WARRIOR TRICKSTER- Added a 300 range dash that can’t go over walls. Decoy no longer deals AOE damage after disappearing. Cooldown is increased but mana cost will now be 60 all through its levels. Decoy’s damage will be significantly reduced but can now mimic Wukong’s attack and even his ultimate. There are also changes to the Decoy’s nature of attack as they attack those that Wukong has recently attacked and gained different buff upon using Wukong’s skills (empowered attack for Crushing Blow, attack speed bonus for Nimbus Strike). Decoy will also knocked-up enemies that haven’t knocked-up already upon the initial cast of Cyclone.
NIMBUS STRIKE- Damage is now increased and now it is magic instead of physical damage. Bonus attack speed and attack speed buff duration also underwent an increase. Cooldown will start at 10 and lowers up until 8 seconds upon leveling. Mana cost increases significantly but now the distance to target after post-dash is now 75.
CYCLONE- It can now be cast for a second time within 8 seconds and can knock-up again the enemies after the second cast. It can now be canceled by casting other skills and its attack speed bonus from Nimbus Strike will be refreshed while he is spinning.
