League of Legends patch 12.9 prenotes: Massive Ahri and Renata nerfs, Varus buffs, and more
League of Legends patch 12.9 will be looking to shake things up quite a bit in the champion meta. Riot Games is set to introduce a good deal of nerfs, buffs, and mid-scope updates for many champions in the coming week.
The next update will introduce a lot of nerfs for picks like Sion, Ahri, and Renata. They have been quite dominant in the current meta and have been hard to deal with in both solo-queue and standard matchmaking.
Additionally, champions who have been struggling in Season 12, like Hecarim and Varus, will be seeing some quality-of-life updates. Meanwhile, Olaf, Taliyah, and Pyke will get massive adjustments to each of their abilities.
It’s important to note that the changes listed below are tentative. Riot Games will first test them out on the PBE server before shipping them with the official update next week.
With League of Legends patch 12.9 set to drop on May 11, 2022, there might be a good deal of disparity between what is shown in the prenotes here and the final update.
