League of Legends patch 12.8 official notes: Swain mini-rework, Kassadin buffs, Jinx nerfs, and more
League of Legends patch 12.8 will be the update version on which the Mid-Season invitational will be played. Riot are looking to introduce a plethora of balance updates to this patch and will look to make some of the more underused champions make their way back into the meta.
However, the highlight of the patch will be the mini-rework that Swain will be getting to his kit as a lot of quality-of-life changes will be making their way to him.
Additionally, Kassadin and Ezreal will be up for some buff, while Jinx and Xayah will have their names on the nerf list. League of Legends fans looking for a detailed patch description can look up Riot’s official website.
