Riot Games plans a micropatch in League of Legends and also gives first information about champion buffs and nerfs in update 12.13.
Riot Games lead designer Matt Leung-Harrison announced on Tuesday that a micropatch 12.12b will follow the already released patch. This is scheduled to go online on Thursday.
“We are planning a 12.12 micropatch to hit a few special cases on 30 June,” Matt Leung-Harrison said in his statement on Twitter. Champions who were hit too hard by nerfs in the 12.11 update should get a buff again.
Champions listed in yellow are slated for patch 12.12b. These include Shaco, Katarina, Caitlyn and Leona, who will each receive a buff. On the other hand, Bel’Veth, Senna, Tahm Kench, Zeri, Wukong, Seraphine and Yuumi will be weakened. Especially the newest champion Bel’Veth has to take the second nerf in a row.
Patch 12.13 will be delayed due to the micropatch and will not be released until 13 July. In this patch, the planned adaptation of Gwen could play a major role. The gifted seamstress has had several good phases in Pro-Play since her release. However, because she only has a win rate of just under 46 per cent on the top lane, the developer wants to change something about her kit.
We’re planning for a 12.12 micropatch to hit some outliers for 30 Jun and 12.11 champs that were hit too hard (Kat, Shaco). The rest will be in 12.13, but it will be delayed a week and start coming out ~July 12. Buffs for bursty champs are targeted at non-burst axes mostly pic.twitter.com/VPo30mVhel

In addition to the Gwen Adjustment, some champions such as Renekton and Master Yi are to receive a buff. Lethality Mythics will also be strengthened, while Divine Sunderer will be changed again. However, Riot Games has not yet announced any information on specific stats. We’ll keep you posted on any new additions.
