League of Legends Patch 13.12 brings a fresh wave of updates and adjustments to the game. Following the recent item rehaul that shifted power dynamics, this patch focuses on champion changes, item adjustments, and system tweaks.

Champion Adjustments – Enhancing Gameplay

Let’s begin with the adjustments made to Rumble and Lucian. While both champions have been prevalent in Solo Queue and Pro Play, they are receiving buffs and nerfs to enhance their overall performance.

Goodbye to Lucian and Nami

Lucian’s synergy with Shield/Heal enchanters is improving, but his effectiveness with buff-based champions like Nami is diminishing. These changes aim to make Lucian more accessible while slightly reducing his power.

Rumble Bruisers

Rumble has received improvements to his abilities. His Flame Splitter (Q) now deals damage based on the target’s max HP, and Scrap Shield (W) provides additional max HP (although with reduced base numbers). However, his ultimate, The Equalizer (R), will now have a longer cooldown.

Buffs and Nerfs – Balancing the Game

ADC Buffs

Ashe Buff LoL
Ashe is poised to become the next OP ADC

Patch 13.12 introduces several buffs and nerfs to various roles, with a particular focus on ADCs and supports. Ashe receives significant buffs, including increased damage to her Frost Shot (Passive) and Volley (W), as well as an improved AP ratio for her Enchanted Arrow (R). Other minor buffs are given to Kai’Sa and Sivir.

ADC and Support Nerfs

Kog’Maw and Zeri receive nerfs in this patch. Kog’Maw’s Bio-Arcane Barrage (W) %HP damage is reduced, while Zeri’s effectiveness with the Trinity Force build is toned down. Additionally, enchanters like Yuumi, Lulu, and Milio receive adjustments to bring a balance to Pro Play.

Top Lane Updates

Nasus Buffs
The hyper carry top is going to pop off in Patch 13.12

Nasus receives significant buffs, with reduced cooldown for his Fury of the Sand (R) and improved sustain for better laning. Gangplank also benefits from changes to his Powder Keg (E) recharge timer.

Mid Lane Adjustments

Ryze and Orianna, staple picks in competitive play, receive buffs. Orianna sees minor improvements to her Command: Shockwave (R) damage, while Ryze gains better AP ratios on his passive and Spell Flux (E), as well as improved missile speed for his E.

Jungle Tweaks

Kha’Zix is the only jungle champion receiving adjustments. Although dominating in Solo Queue and occasionally in Pro Play, Kha’Zix receives minor nerfs to his base AD, balancing out his early game strengths.

System and Item Adjustments

Patch 13.12 introduces various system and item changes, primarily focusing on item buffs and nerfs.

Item Buffs – Empowering Champions

Many items that were previously nerfed in Patch 13.10 are receiving buffs, particularly for ADCs. Immortal Shieldbow, Statikk Shiv, and Phantom Dancer are among the items benefiting from significant improvements. Moonstone Renewer, an enchanter item, sees enhanced healing and shielding capabilities.

Item Nerfs – Creating Balance

Ardent Censer and Imperial Mandate receive nerfs. Ardent Censer’s on-hit damage scaling is removed, while Imperial Mandate’s damage is lowered in the latter stages of the game. Additionally, ADC items such as Bloodthirster, Galeforce, and Rapid Firecannon are also nerfed to maintain balance.

System Adjustments – Fine-Tuning the Game

Red Buff
Two red buffs were too much

Patch 13.12 introduces minor system adjustments to key aspects of the game. These adjustments include balancing gold distribution in the Mid lane, modifying the Red Buff to prevent it from overpowering champions, and fixing the Duskblade of Draktharr bug related to ultimates. Overheal Shield is also nerfed for marksmen after level 5 but receives a buff for fighters.
