How this page is made
- Data Dragon's champion data of patch 26.12 (16.12.1) next to that of patch 26.11 (16.11.1), the same comparison the LazyElo app's patch check makes for your own champions.
- A higher number is a buff, except for cooldowns and costs, where lower is better. A change that goes both ways across ranks, or changes the number of ranks, counts as neither. A champion is a buff or a nerf when that side has at least twice as many changes as the other.
- Data Dragon is updated by hand after a patch and has known gaps. A stat that reads 0 for every champion is broken data, not a change, and a range of 25,000 means "no range" (self casts and global ultimates); both are left out.
- Damage, scaling, passives and anything about how an ability works are in Riot's official patch notes.
The patch check for your own champions
On patch day LazyElo shows what changed for the champions in your own pool, in one card in the app, so you know before your first game which of your picks got better or worse.
