LoL Patch 14.12 Notes
The latest update to League of Legends, Patch 14.12, brings a set of targeted adjustments aimed primarily at the AD carry role. Matt „Riot Phroxzon“ Leung-Harrison has highlighted that this patch is relatively smaller in scale compared to recent updates. The primary changes include buffs to champions Ezreal and Xayah, who have not seen much presence in both professional play and solo queue recently.
Complementing these buffs are nerfs to four other marksmen who currently dominate the early to mid game phases. This strategic balancing act aims to refresh the meta and bring underutilized champions back into the spotlight, enhancing the overall competitive landscape of the game.
