League of Legends PBE patch 12.17 cycle introduces massive Critical Strike buffs to Miss Fortune

With the League of Legends 2022 Worlds Championship fast approaching, Riot Games will introduce the 12.17 update next week to test more changes that will focus on the upcoming international event.

The developers have already started shipping changes to the PBE patch 12.17 cycle, where Riot will test some of the tweaks they have in mind before adding them to the official patch update.

Lots of changes have made their way to the PBE, from Maokai jungle buffs to significant changes to Zhonya's Hourglass. After recent news, it seems that Miss Fortune will be hit with a substantial number of quality-of-life updates as well.

According to Riot:

"A few bigger changes coming to PBE this week for a couple of champs. Starting with MF, aiming to buff her Crit builds and shift Lethality builds a bit more towards Q max over E spam."
