Patch 26.13 Preview! Mostly champion changes today for our final MSI Patch, so going to go a bit lighter on context to chat more about them tomorrow. Locke - Locke will also hit the Rift some time during Patch 26.13 - We're super excited for his release (I know I will be playing him a bunch :D) and have seen a lot of community hype for him as well - Currently, we're trying to lock down a few tunings and timings on some of his abilities as well as where we want his power budget and maxes to be (a process called fine tuning) - A lot is changing day by day, in particular, the amount of power budget in his W has been something we're trying to fine tune as well as how Normal vs Elite skewed he is Doran's Helm - Doran's Helm has started to be picked up on a few ADC's, especially ones that have particularly strong synergies with the resists (Senna through healing and the effective health it provides synerging well with the resists) and Jhin (as he has a lot of his early damage in base damage) - We're looking to keep these incentives intact directionally, but try to make the item a little more balanced for these users, while trying to grow the user pool a bit as a result Imperial Mandate - For systems changes, we have an Imperial Mandate buff. So far it has added a few users into the pool, however a bunch of these are midlaners like Galio, fringe TF, Liss, etc. - This set of changes is meant to position it to be more fantasy forward for Support champions while also giving it a bit of a power up. It's not really the "best item" on any support at current tuning and for an item with as strong kit synergies as this it probably should be if it's appropriately powerful Champion Changes - At a high level, changes this patch are mostly aimed at making some of the fringe picks a little more viable and tailored towards the situations teams might want to pick them, especially in later series of the MSI tournament

OCARINA OF TIME REMAKE IS NINTENDO TOUCHING THE HOLY BOOK this is not just old Zelda with better graphics this is the game people still use as the measuring stick for 3D adventure games - original launched on N64 in 1998 - still sitting at 99 on Metacritic - gave Zelda Z-targeting, time travel, adult Link, Epona and Ganondorf - gave an entire generation Water Temple trauma - the 3DS remake sold over 6M copies - 2026 is Zelda’s 40th anniversary - Switch 2 is getting it later this year - fans are already split between “don’t change a frame” and “show actual gameplay” that is the impossible part Nintendo is not just remaking Ocarina of Time it is remaking people’s memory of what a video game was supposed to feel like
