Riot Games is already planning the next update for League of Legends. In addition to buffs and nerfs for champions, system adjustments are also planned.
The next update for League of Legends is already around the corner. Patch 12.20 is planned for 19 October and will probably bring quite a few changes to the Summoner”s Rift. In addition to Sett, Aatrox and Maokai will also receive a nerf.
Sett”s nerf is on his mid-lane. His passive skill is expected to regenerate less life, making the champion more vulnerable to damage. Likewise, Aatrox and Maokai have to be prepared for less healing. Both Blade of the Gloomy and Tainted Tree Giant are likely to receive a nerf to their P skill in terms of their own healing.
In contrast, six other champions are set to receive a buff with patch 12.20. Wukong is expected to be improved on the top lane and Gwen”s Q skill damage is also expected to be increased. Evelynn and Ziggs are also likely to get more damage on the Q skill. For Rammus, on the other hand, an increase in the movement speed of the Ultimate is planned.
Full 12.20! Buffs to a few languishing champions and nerfs to Sett mid, Aatrox and Maokai. Aiming for power neutral for Sett top.

Riot Games seems to want to give Blitzcrank a buff in the Jungle as well. However, his support role is to be generated for this. The damage against monsters will be increased for the W- and E-Skill, but for Q the damage seems to be reduced. The maximum mana at which the shield activates from the passive ability is supposed to scale with the level of the champion and increase.

League of Legends remains in constant flux. The patch 12.20 should once again bring changes to the Summoner”s Rift. Meanwhile, the focus is on Champion Blitzcrank, who is to be trimmed to a different position by developer Riot Games. The update will be released on 19 October.
Matt Leung-Harrison, lead designer of the Balance Team, published the first planned changes for the next patch on Tuesday. Specifically, the buff of Rammus is addressed, saying that it “went down a lot” after the changes to the W ability. At the same time, Blitzcrank will receive a buff in the jungler position, while the support role will be weakened. This could suggest a deliberate change by Riot Games.
Patch 12.20! Buffing Rammus, because he went down a lot after a change to how his W calculates. Small buffs to others in the list. Blitz JG changes are a buff, but he needs a decent tap down for Supp.

Blitzcrank has a win rate of 52.4 per cent, according to (leagueofgraphs.com) . Most recently, the large steam golem received several buffs in Patch 12.19 which made it more popular. In addition to its adjustments, Elise is also said to be affected in the upcoming update, specifically addressing the range of its Q ability.
There are a total of three champion nerfs on the list: Sett, Aatrox and Maokai. In addition to Rammus” buff, Jayce, Wukong, Gwen, Evelyn and Ziggs will also receive a buff.
Exact information on the champion changes and the system adjustments such as Mortal Reminder or Lethal Tempo are still missing. However, these are expected in the coming days.
