Riot Games has detailed the upcoming patch 12.20 adjustments, which include buffs for Rammus, Wukong, and others, as well as modifications to Blitzcrank Jungle
Riot Games can now start on bringing enjoyable things to League of Legends now that the pro-focused updates are done and the 2023 preseason is approaching.
The lead designer on Riot’s balancing team, Matt “Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison, has revealed a list of changes for Patch 12.20. And, according to Riot, with the next patch coming, they will make Blitzcrank more viable in the jungle by removing part of his support strength.
Furthermore, Rammus, Jayce, Wukong, Gwen, Evelynn, and Ziggs are scheduled to gain further buffs in patch 12.20.
Riot also says Aatrox is still “too strong” after the Eclipse adjustments. As a consequence, Aatrox will be nerfed in the next patch. Furthermore, Sett and Maokai, one of the most picked and banned champions of Worlds 2022, are slated to be nerfed.
