League Of Legends Second Patch 10.2 Notes: Preview

The lead game designer of the League of Legends, Mark Yetter, released unofficial notes for the forthcoming second patch of 2020, 10.2.

The patch notes reveal a Wukong rework, which was in the works for some time but was not ready during the 10.1 patch release, as per the recent tweet of Mark Yetter. There is no information concerning the release date. Testing of patch 10.2 just started, and it may take some time for the update. If everything goes well, the update will go live with two weeks.

Riot Games is progressing Wukong rework in the patch 10.2 with the three objectives.

Shift the power of Wukong towards the early game. And to move it away from the late game while the power remains neutral in the long run.

Provide Wukong players the tools that they need to feel competitively viable in the early lane phase or jungle.

Create new opportunities for the outplay, which enhances the identity of Wukong as a tricky, uniquely mobile skirmisher with a hit-and-run combat pattern.
