The Worlds final update is coming with League of Legends patch 12.18

Pro players will compete on League of Legends patch 12.18 throughout the famous championship, however, Udyr will be disabled during the tournament.

In the meantime, flavor choices like Miss Fortune and Hecarim are getting nerfed after dominating the solo queue in the latest patch 12.17, and Lee Sin is seeing some potential that will bring him back into the meta.

In contrast, League of Legends Patch 12.18 will be a small update focusing mostly at balancing the changes implemented in Patch 12.17.
