The ever popular League of Legends is about to get its next big content patch, bringing it up to version 6.21. The new update will add the Halloween skin set, along with a range of balance and bug fixes. Of course, this will also mean a little bit of server downtime, so plan you gaming time accordingly.
Patch 6.21 will be deployed to live servers on Wednesday, October 19 at 3am PT for NA, 5am BST for EUW and 3am CEST for EUNE. Ranked queues will be disabled an hour and a half before and the servers will be unavailable for around 3 hours while the patch is applied. Keep an eye on the server maintenance page for the latest updates.
