The next update in League of Legends is coming soon and Riot Games seems to want to improve some champions with the patch 12.11
The next patch in League of Legends is already on the doorstep. The update is set to go live in the game as early as 8 June. Lead Designer Matt Leung-Harrison from Riot Games already gives a first insight into what players can expect.
The patch 12.11 makes several buffs to the system and champions. The development team does not want to undo the adjustments from the last update. Patch 12.10 brought a massive nerf for healing and shields, which should make fights longer again. A total of 14 champions are to receive a buff in LoL with patch 12.11, including Lee Sin, Caitlyn, Xin Zhao and Tahm Kench.
These champions have tended to perform worse in matches recently. In contrast, some other champions are set to receive a nerf in League of Legends. The recently revamped Taliyah seems to be weakened with patch 12.11. Also Olaf, Master Yi, Wukong and quite a few others are supposed to get a nerf with the upcoming update.
Massive patch. Super proud of the team and helpers for rallying together to get everything in.
We’re being careful not to undo what we just did and are doing our best to maintain item choice, champion feel and identity, role balance, etc.
A lot of work to still be done 🙂 pic.twitter.com/XIK15uYSZd
