League of Legends patch 10.1 change list

League of Legends is getting its first patch of the year and the 10th ranked season is coming with it.

The new ranked season will start at 7 a.m. ET on Jan. 10. Your MMR will be reset depending on what your ending rank last season was. Like last year, your preliminary rank will be shown after each of your 10 placement matches, so you’ll have an idea of where you’ll place before you finish your placements.

Sett, League of Legends’ newest hunk, is also joining the game during this patch, but he won’t launch until Jan. 14, so you’ll have to wait a bit before you can jump into a game as The Boss.

There’s also a bunch of skins releasing during this patch, including Mecha Kingdom skins and a Freljord skin for Sylas.

You can check out Riot Games’ patch notes for full context and you can check out the patch notes for Teamfight Tactics.
