Riot periodically releases League of Legends patches that include a myriad of fixes, improvements, and new content for the game.
Patches, which are typically scheduled to release on a bi-weekly basis, cater to both competitive play and solo queue, targeting champions, items, runes, and summoner spells.
They also frequently include new skins, along with new champions on a less regular basis. In 2021, over 140 skins and a handful of champions (Viego, Gwen, Akshan, and Vex) made their way to League. Many more are expected to come to the game in 2022.
