Quick Answer: What’s in the 26.15 Patch Notes?<\/h3>\n

The League of Legends 26.15 patch notes<\/strong> bring massive changes, releasing on Wednesday, July 29, 2026. The biggest highlight is a comprehensive rework for Bel’Veth<\/strong>, transitioning her away from early-game invades and turning her into a late-game scaling powerhouse with a permanent ultimate form at level 16. Additionally, this patch kicks off Ranked Season 3<\/strong> (starting at 12pm local server time) and introduces League Classic<\/strong>, a nostalgic game mode featuring 60 legacy champions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The wait is over for League of Legends players. The highly anticipated 26.15 patch notes have arrived, signaling the start of a brand new era on the Summoner’s Rift. With a brand new ranked season, the return of classic gameplay mechanics, and heavy balance adjustments targeting both overperformers and underdogs, there is a lot to cover.<\/p>\n

The Bel’Veth Rework: A Late-Game Empress<\/h2>\n

Bel’Veth is receiving a massive patchwork update to lean into her evolution fantasy. Riot’s goal is to weaken her heavily skill-skewed early game to fulfill her intended design as a late-game scaling champion.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Infinite Empowered Form:<\/strong> Bel’Veth’s True Form now scales with her stacks, capping off with a permanent duration at 80 stacks (level 16).<\/li>\n
  • Early Dueling Changes:<\/strong> Her Q ability at early levels will function more like a standard dueling ability with a 4-1s cooldown, preventing her from heavily setting back opponents through aggressive early invades.<\/li>\n
  • W Ability Shift:<\/strong> Her W is losing its bonus attack damage ratio entirely, shifting instead to a 150% ability power scaling, altering her optimal build path.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Champion Buffs and Nerfs Overview<\/h2>\n

    Aside from the Empress of the Void, several other champions are being targeted to shake up the meta for the beginning of Split 3. Locke takes some of the heaviest nerfs to his base health and Q damage, aimed at stopping him from dominating the Emerald and Diamond skill brackets.<\/p>\n
