League of Legends Patch 12.14 is on its way, and it will be the last big adjustment before Worlds balance
Riot has reminded players not to expect many balance changes in Patch 12.14. There will still be minor improvements, but all focus will be on significant preseason adjustments.
Nerfs to Healing and Enchanters’ items in Patch 12.14
Riot is adopting a wide approach to healing itemization, despite enchanter supports dominating the meta with the highest win rates of any class.
Healing and shielding are getting more powerful in order to extend battles. As a result, the upcoming update will weaken practically every component of healing, from health potions to sustain runes, as well as individual champions heals, shields, and enchanter’s support items.
Zeri’s 12th adjustments in Patch 12.14
Despite just being on the Rift for 6 months, Zeri is favored by a large number of players worldwide, both pro and solo-queue players.
And Zeri can’t seem to stay out of the League of Legends patch notes. The Spark of Zaun has received her 12th round of adjustments in LoL patch 12.14 since her debut.
The devs are dropping the additional damage from her right-click and replacing it with a lower-threshold execute. To compensate, her on-hit damage from her Ult is being nerfed.
