This year, Patch 12.16 will deliver the first World-focused updates
Though the adjustments impacted both solo queue and pro scene, the influence is noticed more strongly in the competitive play, as the games have become more strategy-focused. Many top players believe the new adjustments are decent in a long time, while others believe the game is now all about bot lane.
Riot, on the other hand, is releasing a slew of balance updates and hotfixes to keep the game balanced.
As we approach closer to one of the most anticipated esports tournaments, Worlds 2022, Riot has decided to announce some of the planned improvements in Patch 12.16 for the big event.
Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming buffs, nerfs, and adjustments in Patch 12.16
