League of Legends patch 13.12 pre-notes: Ashe buffs, K’Sante nerfs, Rumble adjustments, and more

The League of Legends patch 13.12 pre-notes are live, and Riot Games will be introducing a lot of balance updates to champions and items this time around. Some of the biggest highlights of the patch will be the nerfs that are making their way to Zeri, Yuumi, and K’Sante, with buffs for Ashe, Gangplank, and Kai’Sa.

Adjustments will be making their way to Lucian and Rumble with changes to Immortal Shieldbow, Moonstone Renewer, and Phantom Dancer.

When talking about League of Legends patch 13.12, the developers stated:

“Kaisa AD/lv to hit Q evolve on more first items Ryze E speed aims to fix some cases where E->meleeQ doesn't spread Gragas P CD aims to hit some early sustain to broaden even/losing matchups More Milio damage tradeoffs in exchange for survivability+range. Zeri nerfs to be less bound to enchanters. Tri-Force was making her spike too hard on 1 item, given her scaling. If she's weak, we'll follow up, but she's been strong for a while. Q is on a fine line between spell & an attack replacement and we're supporting it as an attack.”
