League of Legends PBE patch 12.17 cycle: Massive Hecarim stat adjustments hits test server
Hecarim will see a significant number of adjustments hit his kit in the upcoming League of Legends patch, as 12.17 will look to introduce extensive changes to some of his base stats and abilities.
The upcoming update will be the second set of tweaks Riot Games will introduce that focus on League of Legends pro-play. With the 2022 World Championship right around the corner, the developers will look to iron out some rough edges and make more balance changes to the competitive meta.
In a recent tweet, Riot opened up about changes they want to implement in Hecarim’s kit in the official update due next week.
The developers stated:
The League of Legends developers will focus the changes on making Hecarim more of a bruiser than a tanky assassin. This is done by toning down his one-shot potential and providing him with more buffs on his sustain and innate defenses.
Before heading onto the list of changes Riot has proposed for Hecarim, it’s important to note that these changes will first make their way to the PBE before they are shipped with the official patch next week.
The League of Legends developers will look to test the changes first before they are introduced in the 12.17 patch. Hence, players can expect the below-mentioned changes to be tentative, with Riot adding more tweaks to them over the week.
