League of Legends patch 10.18 notes – Psyops and Hextech skins and more
The road to LoL patch 10.18 has begun, but, oh my, what happened to the last League of Legends patch? Riot revealed last night that the entire company would be taking the week starting August 10 off to recharge, which is good and fair. As Riot's Kami Banani explains on Twitter, this means there's no LoL patch 10.17, and that we're moving onto this one.
As a result of the switch around LoL patch 10.18 will be on the PBE for an extra week to balance things out. Don't worry, though, as after the new patch releases on September 2 we're going back to the regular LoL patch cycle. That comes from Banani, again, who clarified the information in a reply on Twitter.
The current stand out of LoL patch 10.18 is the PsyOps skins. Currently, Ezreal, Master Yi, Shen, Sona, and Vi. Ezreal is getting a prestige skin, too. They remind me of Final Fantasy 7 a wee bit. Ezreal's non-prestige skin makes him look a tiny bit like Cloud Strife, which I am all for.
Anyway, enough from us, here's what's being looked at on the PBE for LoL patch 10.18 so far:
LEAGUE OF LEGENDS PATCH 10.18 RELEASE DATE AND DOWNTIMEAs reflected in the 2020 League of Legends patch schedule, LoL patch 10.18 is due to go live on Wednesday, September 2, 2020.

PsyOps Sona – Legendary – 1820 RP"Once a prisoner of the Black Rose Group, Sona has been freed by PsyOps. With her powers finally unleashed, Sona is the master of her own destiny and has plans for her former captors."
Riot says on Reddit: "PsyOps Sona is levitating her way onto the Rift, featuring:
PsyOps Sona is set to be 1820 RP."
PsyOps Vi – 1350 RP"A hand-to-hand combat specialist trained in psychically enhancing her blows with her mind, Vi takes care of "hard targets" for the rest of the PsyOps crew… generally by rushing ahead and punching them apart. She will fight anything and everything, including the old bipedal winter mechs from the Arctic Ops event 40 years prior."
Riot says on Reddit: "PsyOps Vi is hitting the Rift… hard, featuring:
PsyOps Vi is set to be 1350 RP and is available to play on PBE!"
Hextech Ziggs – Ten Gemstones"Famed inventor of Tocker, Ziggs is a savant to some, to others a maniac. All can agree that no matter the consequences, Ziggs seems to enjoy his experiments… especially the subsequent explosions. What is perhaps most miraculous of all is how he and Tocker have survived so many blasts over the years."
Riot says on Reddit: "Hextech Ziggs is bringing the bang to the Rift featuring:
Hextech Ziggs is set to be 1350 RP and is available to play on PBE!"
Miscellaneous This could be one for the future, but SkinSpotlights notes on Twitter that some of PsyOps Sona's interactions are tied to skin files that aren't currently in the game. We'll need to wait and see what that leads to, but the possibilities are exciting to think about. Some of Sona's voice lines have also been updated, so check them out below:Speaking of Sona, Riot's Sirhaian has gone into depth on Twitter about some of the cool quirks of her new Psy-Ops skin. Here's what they said:
