Riot Games is set to drop Legends of Runeterra Patch 3.9, a small update containing only bug fixes as the team prepares for Patch 3.10.
Patch 3.9 is scheduled to hit the live servers tomorrow, June 15. It’s an LoR update focusing on a large number of bugs that have plagued the meta since the Worldwalker expansion launch. The patch contains over a dozen bug fixes as the team prepares for the huge 3.10 update that is slated to take place soon. No official release date for that patch has been revealed by Riot at time of writing.
Patch 3.10 is slated to have 40 individual card nerfs and buffs, along with system changes and functional adjustments to Disintegrate. Tomorrow’s update will focus on the resolution of bug fixes that pave the way for the upcoming adjustments and contain several new personalizations that include the 2022 Pride content.
