Patch 12.18 notes

Welcome to the 2022 Worlds patch! Following the trend of our last two patches, 12.18 is focused on tuning down some overperforming picks in Pro like Kalista and Lulu, while giving a little power to champions just under everyone's radar. Since our goal isn't to completely change the meta from playoffs, these adjustments will be on the lighter side. And with that, to Worlds we go! Secrets of the Shallows, a new TFT event kicks off this patch with Pengu and company charting the Uncharted Realms! Uncover that and more at the TFT patch notes here!

Champions Ashe

Q bonus attack speed increased.

While Ashe has recently gained popularity as a support, her power hasn't been quite up to par with other marksmen. We're increasing her damage to help her shine a bit more in a meta that lacks utility ADC options. Q — Ranger’s Focus Bonus Attack Speed 20/25/30/35/40% ⇒ 25/32.5/40/47.5/55% Hecarim

Q AD ratio decreased, damage per stack decreased. W post-mitigation damage heal reduced.

Hecarim came charging out of the gates after his update last patch. We're bringing down his overall power with these nerfs, but aiming to reduce the strength of his AD builds in particular without bringing tank Hec back from the dead. Base Stats Base Health 650 ⇒ 625 Q -Rampage Physical Damage Bonus AD Ratio 95% ⇒ 90% Increased Damage Per Stack 4% (+6% per 100 bonus AD) ⇒ 4% (+5% per 100 bonus AD) W — Spirit of Dread Percent of Post-Mitigation Damage Healed 30% (+2.5% per 100 Read more on leagueoflegends.com
