League of Legends patch 10.11 update: The beginning of the ADC meta

The League of Legends patch 10.11 update is here. Riot Games seems dead set in ushering in the ADC meta, buffing pretty much all marksmen and even giving buffs to ADCs that work in solo lanes. Following this, Zeal is getting major buffs this and next patch, and I would bet we’ll see a whole lot more play to Yasuo, Graves, and Quinn following patch 10.12 and beyond.

Without further ado, let’s get into the changes.

Zeal changes in League of Legends patch 10.11 and 10.12

All Zeal items will be getting a buff in League of Legends patch 10.11 and 10.12. For patch 10.11, all Zeal items will have their movement speed increased by 2%. This isn’t that significant of a change, but following in patch 10.12, Riot Games is planning on buffing their attack speed further.

This will bring about a major shift in the meta, favoring more towards ADCs. With these future League of Legends changes, it will also work as indirect buffs to Yasuo in the mid lane, Graves in the jungle, and Quinn in the top lane.
