League of Legends Classic scheduled to launch
Riot's Korean Classic page lists July 30 as the planned launch date. A scheduled time does not by itself confirm that servers are open, so launch-day status should be checked against Riot's live notices.
CLASSIC CHANGE ARCHIVE
Update timeline
Confirmed dates and source links are recorded separately from provisional PBE findings and community data mining.
Patch 26.15 deployment date
Riot's patch schedule lists July 29 in Pacific Time for patch 26.15. The schedule can change, and this entry records the published plan rather than asserting that deployment was completed.
Balance changes found in PBE client files
A community comparison of PBE client builds found a health-potion inventory limit change from 99 to 5 and number changes for champions including Ezreal, Sona, and Wukong. Data-mined changes are not final patch notes and may change before or after launch.
Riot explains Classic's scope and launch roster
Riot said Classic is based on Season 3 but is not a one-to-one recreation of a single patch; it combines elements from more than one period. Riot also announced a 60-champion launch roster. Individual values and the full recreation scope remained unconfirmed.
League of Legends Classic opens for PBE testing
Riot's Classic QA lead opened a PBE bug and feedback thread covering 60 champions, classic leveling, runes, masteries, and other test features. PBE features and values can change and are not final live-server specifications.
