New month, new patch for League of Legends, which goes to touch up some champions who definitely needed a nerf, like Zeri and Ryzebut also to empower some who can’t find a stable place this season, like Karthus and Wukong (the latter received a significant buff). There are obviously also some small tweaks to some items, along with new Arcana skins: let’s see the details of this update below.
Samples – nerf
- Jayce: HP balance and armor per level, both decreasing in the early game but giving a slight HP boost in the late game.
- Lee Sin: Base AD and Q damage slightly decreased.
- Rengar: Added a passive to Q that causes the ability to deal less damage to structures.
- Ryze: Increased magic damage as a percentage of Q, but decreased damage based on bonus mana.
- Zeros: decreased the base AD and the growth of it per level, and the base armor; instead increased HP growth per level and HP to level 18. The Q has been slightly reworked to work more in sync with the R, which now has a higher cooldown, and the E, whose cooldown now varies based on level. W, on the other hand, deals less damage, but scales better with AD and AP.
Champions – buff
- Gangplank: Passive damage increased and W mana consumption reduced in late game.
- Gwen: E cooldown recovered on first basic attack increased, and R cooldown in early game decreased.
- Kalista: Increased base mana, movement speed, and attack speed growth.
- Karthus: Q damage against monsters increased.
- Lillia: Increased AP scaling of passive healing, and increased W damage.
- Neeko: W’s passive damage and movement speed increased.
- Pantheon: Base HP regeneration decreased, but Q’s range increased. W no longer slows Pantheon if he walks backwards while in use, and the second part of R takes less time to execute.
- Wukong: Q and W cooldown decreased, and W can now be used to override terrain. E AP damage and bonus damage against monsters increased.
- Yasuo: Base HP increased and R cooldown decreased in early game.
- Yone: decreased cooldown of R.
Objects – changes
- Winter’s approach: Total cost increased and HP decreased.
- Abyssal mask: Magic reduction on enemies increased.
- Sharp Shadow (Umbral glaive): decreased total cost and decreased passive cooldown.
- Moonstone renewed (Moonstone renewer): Healing and shield bonus decreased.
- Raging Storm (Stormrazor): increased the cooldown of the active skill.
They have finally been introduced new Major Arcana skins for Ahri, Hecarim, Ryze, Rakan and Xayah, along with their chromas. You can view the full League of Legends patch 12.7 patch notes via this link.
