by It was reported by Riot Games’ head designer for game balance, Matt Leung-Harrison, that a release of League of Legends version 12.12b will be launched this week. The micropatch is scheduled to roll out?on Thursday, June 30, and it will focus on champions that were either provided excessive?force or hit too hard in Patch 12.12, which was released the previous week.
The Caitlyn, Katarina, Leona, and Shaco classes will all receive buffs as a result of the 12.12b update. The patch introduced a number of?changes, including a reduction in the base stats and static incentives provided for?the Sinister Blade and the Demon Jester, while at the same time increasing the destruction done?by a few of their skills. Riot did not get the outcomes it anticipated, striking these champions extra hard than expected, so the developers will make additional modifications this week. There have been no revelations made concerning either of the buffs just yet.
In addition, there are seven champions who are scheduled to get buffed as part of the micropatch. These champions include Bel’Veth, Tahm Kench, Senna, Seraphine, Yuumi, and Zeri. It would appear that Riot has had some difficulty achieving the desired balance with The Empress of the Void. She has been the focus of a number of nerfs and changes, the purpose of which is to lessen her potency at lower ranks of Elo while simultaneously developing her to be?a more appealing option in higher rankings. The Magical Cat and The Starry-Eyed Songstress both underwent changes in Patch 12.12, and it’s possible that those changes resulted in them having slightly greater power than was first planned. At least for the time being, there is a lack of particular information on these balance changes.
Additionally, Leung-Harrison indicated that the upcoming League upgrade, version 12.13, will be pushed back by one week. According to the revised patch timeline, the release was initially slated for next week, but it is now expected to take place around July 13.
The deployment of patch 12.12b is scheduled for this coming Thursday, June 30. It is anticipated that further information on the buffs and nerfs will be provided in the near future.
