League of Legends patch 12.20 is now available, and the official notes highlight some of the changes that players can expect.

Patch 12.20 is seeing Sett, Aatrox, and Maokai nerfed as a result of their dominance at Worlds 2022. Carry junglers like Elise, Evelynn, and Wukong, on the other hand, will receive buffs that should help them stay afloat in this jungle tank-heavy meta. Aside from that, Kennen and Rammus are finally experiencing some quality-of-life improvements after a long period of time.

League of Legends players can visit Riot’s official website for a more detailed description of patch 12.20. However, for a quick recap, here are the major highlights of adjustments, buffs, and nerfs.
