League of Legends patch 12.4 preview highlights buffs to Aatrox, Rumble, and Xayah
League of Legends patch 12.4, set to arrive next week, will look to introduce extensive champion updates.
Around eighteen champions will receive buffs this time around, while Riot Games look to focus more on buffing some of the more underwhelming picks of Season 12.
Aatrox, Sett, and Rumble will be some top laners who will get a bit of love from the developers in 12.4. Xayah, Kalista, Lucian, and Ashe will also have their names on the buff list, as these marksmen have not been doing too well in the botlane from the start of the new season.
On the other side of the list, Zeri will again be in for some nerfs, as Riot is considering adding her name to one more patch. She still feels a bit over-tuned, and hopefully, the next batch of nerfs will help balance her further.
Before moving onto the list, it’s important to note that all the names mentioned are tentative, and the official patch might differ significantly from this preview.
Riot will focus a lot more on buffing some of the more underwhelming champions and helping them make their way back into the meta in League of Legends Season 12. Top lane and marksmen will be the priority for 12.4, and the developer will look to open up more champion options for both roles.
It will be pretty interesting to see the type of nerfs that the developers look to bring to Zeri’s kit in 12.4. Qiyana and Veigar nerfs are also on the cards, but there is still a bit of uncertainty around the type of nerfs hitting their kit.
Changes to support items for sololane will finally look to tackle the Janna Smite top exploit, one of the most broken and overwhelming strats in the game. Hopefully, the updates arriving in 12.4 will look to address the funnel strategy breaking LoL.
