League of Legends patch 12.14 complete preview: All expected changes, release date, and more

League of Legends’ complete preview for patch 12.14 has finally been revealed, and it seems that Riot Games will implement a fair bit of meta updates next week.

This will be the last big patch before the 2022 Worlds Championship, which will then lead into the preseason stage, where Riot will again experiment with a plethora of changes.

Some of the biggest highlights of patch 12.4 will be the nerfs that Enchanters will get. Picks like Yuumi and Seraphine have become quite challenging to deal with in Season 12. With nerfs to their kit and the enchanter items, they will be toned down considerably in the upcoming update.

Moreover, buffs will make their way to Teemo, Alistar, and LeBlanc, with nerfs hitting lane sustain items like Health Pots, Corrupting Potions, and Biscuits.
