Riot has revealed the patch notes for Legends of Runeterra Patch 5.1. Here’s everything you need to know.
This year hasn’t been great for Legends of Runeterra. To recap, Riot made massive internal restructuring. This, in turn, led to 11% of their workforce being laid off. There are two places within Riot who got impacted by this change the most. The first is Riot Forge, and the other is Legends of Runeterra.
We already talked about the Riot Forge situation, but in short, Riot Forge got shut down. While the LoR situation isn’t as bad as Riot Forge, it’s still not positive, either. Firstly, the competitive scene is on hibernation currently. Additionally, many of the LoR designers also got laid off as well. With all of these, they will now primarily focus on PvE rather than PvP.
With that said, players didn’t expect a new patch to come out this soon after this announcement. Regardless, Riot Games has revealed the patch 5.1 notes for Legends of Runeterra.
