Riot periodically releases League of Legends patches that feature fixes, improvements, and new content for the game.
Patches, which are typically scheduled to release on a bi-weekly basis, cater to both competitive play and solo queue, targeting champions, items, runes, and summoner spells.
They also frequently include new skins, along with new champions on a less regular basis. In 2021, according to a January dev video, over 140 skins are expected to come to League, as well as a handful of new champions.
