League of Legends patch 12.21 preview: Ahri and Malzahar buffs, Bel’Veth nerfs, and more
With the League of Legends preseason 13 right around the corner, Riot Games will not be looking to make too many changes to the game apart from addressing some of the outliers currently present in the title.
With season 13 ushering in a new jungle system, this preseason is going to be a big one, and the developers are opting to reserve the major champion updates for a later patch.
The developers have mentioned that the 12.21 patch will be a rather small one, and it will bring some minor updates to a couple of champions in the game.
In the most recent League of Legends patch 12.21 pre-notes tweet, Riot Phroxzone stated:
League of Legends patch 12.21 is not going to be meta-breaking in any sense of the word, with the update only bringing minor tweaks to a handful of champions.
Before moving on to the list of changes, it’s important to note here that the names suggested by Riot Games from the 12.21 preview are tentative and may not reflect entirely when the official patch update comes knocking.
The developers will be first testing them out in the PBE servers before finally shipping them off with the official update that is due next week.
The proposed list of champion nerfs and buffs for patch 12.21 is as follows:
1) Champion buffs
The Malzahar and Rumble buffs will get last-hit assistance, making it significantly easier for the champions to last-hit minions with auto attacks.
