The next patch of League of Legends is coming and brings buffs and nerfs for champions. Patch 12.11 should bring back some more damage.
Patch 12.11 is scheduled to go live in League of Legends on June 8. Countless changes for champions and the system in general are planned. Tim “Truexy” Jiang, Associate Game Designer at Riot Games, gave a detailed look at the update on Twitter on Thursday.
A massive nerf to healing and shields appeared with patch 12.10. However, the upcoming update from Riot Games will only partially revise the previous adjustments. Some champions will receive a buff, which suffer particularly from the current patch. Caitlyn, Aphelios, Lee Sin and several other champions will get more damage potential back with patch 12.11.
But some character nerfs are also said to be coming to League of Legends with the update. According to Truexy, Riot Games is mainly focusing on the base values. Due to this, the lives of Lillia and Rengar are to be reduced. It is also planned that Gwen, Master Yi, Wukong and many more will get a weakening with the patch 12.11.
PATCH 12.11 FULL CHANGES. This one’s a huge followup to 12.10 so sorry for the wall of text. Some added context on our philosophy in the thread (read till the end for Arcane Season 6 spoilers) pic.twitter.com/PJNDFD52a1

The two champions Olaf and Taliyah had only received a rework with patch 12.9. However, both will be adjusted again with patch 12.11. Taliyah’s monster damage from the E-Skill will be increased, but it will no longer be possible to cast the Ultimate for three seconds while dealing damage. For Olaf, the base damage of the Q-skill is increased and the cooldown is reduced.

The next patch in League of Legends is already on the doorstep. The update is scheduled 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.
Patch 12.11 makes several buffs to the system and champions. The development team does not want to undo the adjustments made in 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 games 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

In addition, there are to be adjustments for Fizz and Zeri. The champion Zeri has received several nerfs since its release in January. In addition, Riot Games also seems to be making several adjustments to the system. The damage from the towers is to be reduced. At the moment, they still deal out too much. The effect “Gash” is also supposed to get a revision with the patch.
