New 120 FPS support (in testing)
Riot is slowly rolling out the 120 FPS support to more devices. The devs said that since the feature is still in testing, players could experience performance issues. In this case, they can switch back to a lower frame rate.

Turrets
Riot has said that it’s seeing a lot of early grouping in competitive play. As a result, the laning phase is almost non-existent in these matches. A lot of changes are being made to turrets to prevent this from happening.
- During the first four minutes (previously three minutes), Solo (Baron) Lane and Mid Lane outer turrets gain 90 bonus Armor and Magic Resist.
- During the first four minutes (previously three minutes), all outer turrets gain additional defensive bonuses when multiple enemies are nearby:
- Two champions in total: 10 Armor and Magic Resist
- Three champions in total: 100 → 250 Armor and Magic Resist
- Four champions in total: 200 → 300 Armor and Magic Resist
- Five champions in total: 300 → 350 Armor and Magic Resist
Free-to-play champion rotation
