League of Legends patch 12.18 preview: Lee Sin buffs, Miss Fortune nerfs, and Udyr adjustments
League of Legends patch 12.18 will introduce the final set of updates focused on the 2022 Worlds Championship. It will bring changes to the MOBA with the professional scene in mind.

Riot Games will be testing them out in the League of Legends PBE before shipping the updates out with an official update. The changes mentioned here may not reflect entirely on the final patch that is expected to drop next week.
Ashe has had a much higher pick rate in the support role than as an ADC, which is the role that she was intended for. Riot Games will be buffing her potential as a marksman in 12.18.

Riot Games may have gone overboard with the recent set of Miss Fortune buffs and will be looking to tone down her kit considerably in patch 12.18. The developers will make her more balanced before League of Legends’ biggest international event kicks off on September 29, 2022.
