League of Legends patch 13.12 brings nerfs to many enchanters and certain ADCs, in particular Yuumi and Zeri. A few top laners also receive a buff in this patch, except for Gragas who has been nerfed.

The next update for League of Legends, patch 13.12, sees several ADCs and enchanter supports receiving nerfs. Alongside them, items such as Ardent Censer, Bloodthirster, Galeforce, and Imperial Mandate are also receiving nerfs, resulting in an even bigger power decline.

Not all ADCs are being nerfed in this patch, however, Kai’sa, Ashe, and Sivir gaining buffs, as well as certain top laners receiving some bonuses also.

What’s changing in LoL patch 13.12?

Yuumi and Zeri nerfs

Yuumi and Zeri have been dominating higher-level play in League of Legends for quite some time. The dynamic duo has plagued professional play up until MSI, where Yuumi was disabled due to her mid-scope update. It seems that Riot has caught wind of their resurgence, and will be swiftly swatting the pair with the nerf bat.

Support and ADC item nerfs

On top of the nerfs to Yuumi and Zeri, the ADC and enchanter class are being nerfed as a whole. Several commonly run items for the classes are being nerfed, as well as a couple of systems that benefitted the bot lane carries.
