Can you believe it’s already March, LoL fans? As we head further into 2020, the League of Legends updates keep on dropping, with LoL patch 10.5 now live and ready to sink your pearly whites into. That means it’s time to take a look at what’s on the way to Riot’s MOBA with its sixth update of the year – read on to see all there is to come in LoL patch 10.6!
Anything that effects magic resist by a flat number can be used to reduce someone's MR under the 0 threshold. You need to have more flat magic penetration then they have magic resist. Sorcs and HG is +20 each Abby is effectively another +20. 9 magic pen marks = 8 flat magic pen. But were losing 27 magic resist at level 18 from scaling mr glyphs and at the least 12 from flat mr glyphs. The removal of both, flat magic pen runes and mr runes is a net buff to magic damage. Too many people dont seem to understand that and actually ask for compensation to get even more damage.
First up, there’s a raft of eight new skins on the way this patch – and they’re pretty stunning. As well as a two legendary Cosmic looks for the Lady of Luminosity, Lux (including a Dark variant), Malphite (plus a Prestige edition), Mordekaiser, and Xerath are the lucky recipients of Dark Star skins. Champs Talon, Taric, and Twitch get some medieval-inspired RPG skins, which would make them look right at home supping mead in one of Runeterra’s finest taverns. Twitch’s adorable skin even gives him a glowing hunk of cheese to wield. Sweet!
But that’s not all – there are already plenty Champion and item balance changes up for testing on the multiplayer game’s PBE. Death’s Dance, for example, returns this cycle for some more adjusting.
And good news if you’re a fan of the Monkey King – it looks like the Wukong rework might at last be done (or very nearly done). “The Wukong kit you’ve seen on PBE is locked. You can expect it to ship as-is (minus numbers tuning/balance adjustments),” Champion designer August Browning has announced on Twitter. However, he also says he’s just been “slapped with jury duty this coming week”, so while the studio’s plan is to finally ship the rework this patch, it could potentially be the next.
Take a look at the now locked changes to Wukong below – they’re extensive so brew yourself a coffee and get stuck in.
Last but not least, with Lux’s new Legendary skins she gets all-new VO – check it out further down. Read on to check out what’s in store for LoL patch 10.6 with the full notes below.

We decided to make some updates to Taric Luminshield's VFX to make the colour of them better match his source of power (his gems). We also updated the ult since the PBE video to address feedback his W and R looked too similar. LMK what you think! pic.twitter.com/EbsRc6ILLr

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS PATCH 10.6 MISCELLANEOUS Updates
Ratio Of Magic Pen To Dmg League Of Legends 2016
As spotted by Surrenderat20, something exciting has popped up in the PBE game files – a Fiddlesticks map with a model of the specialist Champ included. It’s not clear what the map looks like just yet but you can take a look a the extracted model of Fiddlesticks on the site here.
It’s likely whatever it is ties into the upcoming Fiddlesticks rework that Riot said would be coming sometime this year. Perhaps it might not be much longer until we see the transformation hit the PBE, too.
That’s all we’ve got for LoL patch 10.6 right now. Be sure to keep checking back in the next two weeks to make sure you don’t miss any of the new teaks and changes Riot will be testing ahead of the update’s launch.
In the meantime, get a look at LoL patch 10.5 to see what’s just landed in the live game, as well as our LoL tier list to find out which the best League of Legends Champions to play are right now. There’s also a LoL skins and Champions sale on this week, in case you’re in the market for a new character or style.
