Riot Games kicks off the Year of the Horse with Patch 26.4, live on Thursday, February 19. The League of Legends patch includes Summoner’s Rift changes, a focus on ARAM Mayhem and Arena, with the release of Petals of Spring skins. ARAM also kicks off the Ionia Cup Clash.

The updates for Champions in patch 26.4 primarily focus on adjusting previously popular junglers who have been roaming other roles, aiming to achieve a more balanced state.

Six new skins and seven Summoner Icons will be available through Patch 26.4. The Petals of Spring skins include Camille, Jayce, Katarina, Lillia, and Yasuo. Additionally, Divine Architect Porcelain Aurelion Sol will be available as a Mythic Variant (Sanctum).
