Meta analysis (patch 7.0g, AI-written forecast)

The April Fools' joke patch turns Summoner's Rift into a dog park. Attacking the adorable doggy minions is a heavy psychological burden, so CSing is harder than ever. Everyone abandons farming to play with the dogs, and matches stretch on indefinitely in the ultimate late-game meta! 🐶🐾

Bombard Minion

Patch 7.0g

Adjust

Bombard Minion

🚗🐶
🔪🛡️🔪

Bombard minions are now dogs behind the wheel, loaded up with several knives and a shield. This being an April Fools' joke patch, only the visuals change — no stats or behaviour are listed. Telling minion types apart is something you do at a glance, so a silhouette change this drastic will cost you a beat until your eyes adjust. Nothing under the hood has moved, so it is purely a matter of getting used to the new look.

Caster Minion

Patch 7.0g

Caster Minion

🐶🪄

Part of the April Fools' joke patch: caster minions are now wand-wielding magic dogs. As with the melee minions, the entry is purely cosmetic — no range, attack interval, or damage figures are mentioned. Everything you normally do around casters, from killing them first to manipulate the wave to leaning on their ranged damage while you shove, still applies. They are dogs now, but they still plink away at you from the back of the wave.

Melee Minion

Melee Minion

🔪🐶🛡️

7.0g is an April Fools' joke patch, and the notes are written entirely in emoji. What this entry says is that melee minions are now dogs carrying knives and shields. No stats are listed anywhere, so wave management and last-hitting work exactly as they always have — the only things that change are the artwork and how guilty you feel taking the CS.

Siege Minion

Patch 7.0g

Siege Minion

🚀🐶
🛡️

Siege minions are now dogs strapped with rockets and carrying shields. This is an April Fools' joke patch, so no durability or tower damage numbers are listed. A wave with a siege minion in it still pushes harder than a normal one and still creates the opening to pressure a turret, so try not to let the new artwork make you clear them late.

Super Minion

Patch 7.0g

Adjust

Super Minion

🛡️💪🐶🗡️

Super minions round out the joke patch as heavily muscled dogs in armour with swords in hand. As with the rest of 7.0g, no numbers are attached to the entry. Super minions still push a wave through on their own if you ignore them, and that does not change just because they are dogs now. Having every minion type reskinned at once is unusual enough that it is worth consciously re-reading the lane state for the first few games.

What the Patch Archive Covers

675 recorded changes across 29 versions, from 6.3 through to the current 7.3a. It is built for tracking how often a single champion has been buffed or nerfed.

Some patches move far more than others

The largest is 7.2 with 175 entries — the patch that rebuilt boots and introduced tier 3. Others run to a handful of lines, so the version numbers alone say nothing about how much the meta shifted.

Of the 675 entries, 231 are champion changes. The rest cover items and runes, ARAM and Arena tuning, ranked seasons and system-level work.

What the meta prediction is worth

Selecting a version also brings up a meta prediction for that patch, 29 versions in all. It is an AI-written read rather than measured data; the tier list is where you check what the win rates actually did.
