League of Legends Update 12.18 Preview: Lee Sin, Miss Fortune and Udyr Changes
Patch League of Legends 12.18 will introduce the final set of updates focused on World Championships 2022 of the year. This will bring changes to the MOBA with the professional scene in mind.
The changes that are planned for live servers next week will be aimed at smoothing out some of the roughness in the game.
Riot Games has given fans a little preview of the changes they can expect from patch 12.18.
Riot Phroxzon tweeted:
12.18 is our latest set of changes for World's. Most champions only get small pushes, especially if we suspect the recent changes may be significant. We've made a significant amount of changes since the playoff patches, so we don't want to completely flip the meta. https://t.co/hp3EVvqzzt
One of the highlights of the League of Legends 12.18 update will be the buffs that will make their way to Ash and Lee Sin. While Miss Fortune and Hecarim have their names on the nerf list, Udyr and Maokai are set for more adjustments in the patch.
