Have a look below for all the information we've got, straight from the PBE.
LoL Patch 7.7 Release Date And Downtime
We don't know the exact release date for patch 7.7 yet, but the schedule is bi-weekly so expect it on Wednesday, April 5. We'll update when Riot do, but keep an eye on the server maintenance page for the latest updates.
LoL Patch 7.7 Balance Changes
That out of the way, let’s start with the really important bit, shall we? What you need to remember is that stuff on the PBE like this is neither guaranteed to happen, nor to be in the next patch even if it does. This is what the folks over at Riot are thinking about doing. We’ve got the numbers on what’s changing, and a general guideline on which way each champion, item, mastery, summoner spell or rune is moving.
