ALL PLATFORMS

GENERAL UPDATES

Team HUD Health Improvements

Healing Indicator: The top HUD health bar now shows when a player or ally is healing. During recovery, the bar turns teal and fills to reflect progress. Once recovered, it returns to the normal white color.

Collections Updates

The Collections experience on both PC and Console has been enhanced.
- A grid layout replaces the carousel for PC Weapons & Buddies.
- A new dedicated page for equipping and viewing titles on PC.
- Custom skinline backgrounds across more Collection screens, letting weapon skins shine.
- Note: These changes will be delayed for players in Korea until 11.11 following player flow changes.

AGENT UPDATES

Harbor

The Harbor Rework is here. Harbor’s abilities have been overhauled to make him a more aggressive Controller with a splash of Initiator.

High Tide remains a key part of his kit, allowing experienced players to carry over their past mastery. Cove has moved into the signature slot and can now be placed with greater precision, helping Harbor block vision or shield allies depending on the situation.

A new ability, Storm Surge, helps him take gunfights aggressively, and Reckoning has been massively updated to help allies flood into enemy territory.

Updated Abilities

Cove

Changed to the signature ability slot
EQUIP Cove. ACTIVATE to form a water smoke at the selected location.
HOLD FIRE to move the marker further, HOLD ALT FIRE to move it closer.
RELOAD to toggle targeting view.
REACTIVATE to Shield the water smoke, blocking bullets until destroyed.

High Tide

Changed to a non-signature ability
Cost: 300 credits

Storm Surge (New)

EQUIP Storm Surge. FIRE to throw an explosive whirlpool that Nearsights and Slows enemies after a short delay.

Reckoning

EQUIP Reckoning. FIRE to unleash a surge of water that barrels forward, Nearsighting and Slowing enemies hit.

Voice Lines:

Updated to reflect Harbor’s new abilities.
New conversation lines with Tejo and Waylay.
Added new match-start lines for Abyss and Corrode.

Clove

Clove’s pick rate in competitive play is too dominant, limiting other controllers. These changes reduce Clove’s snowballing advantage.

Ruse

Now restricted to 1 maximum charge when Clove is dead.

Pick Me Up

Overheal amount reduced from 100 HP → 50 HP while active.

Omen

Spectators can now view Omen’s perspective in Dark Cover when he is placing smokes.

COMPETITIVE UPDATES

Beginning with patch 11.10, all Ascendant+ players in NA, LATAM, BR, and KR must enable Riot Mobile multi-factor authentication (MFA) to access Competitive queue.

Other modes are unaffected.

Why Ascendant+?
Higher-ranked players pose the greatest risk when smurfing or account-sharing, which can lead to competitive integrity violations like win trading.

Players can read the official article for more information or follow the MFA setup guide to get started.

ESPORTS UPDATES

Pick’Ems arrives for Game Changers!
Starting November 13, the tournament will open both in-client and on the web. Predict winners for all 10 teams in the double-elimination bracket to earn points and claim unique rewards for participation.

GAMEPLAY SYSTEM UPDATES

Following the previous patch’s “Use Object” button adjustments (“F” on PC, Square/X on Console by default):

To simplify debuff removal, all attached debuffs are cleared at once by holding “Use Object.”
- Example: If both Cypher Dart and Deadlock GravNet are attached, holding the button removes both simultaneously.
