League of Legends patch 12.10 notes: Durability update going live with sweeping changes

Andrew Amos
Blood Moon Shen in League of Legends

League of Legends patch 12.10 is going to change the game forever. The so-called “durability update” is the biggest in history, with every champion and almost every item in the game affected as Riot fixes major issues with the game’s pace: here’s the full patch notes.

League of Legends patch 12.10 is arguably the largest update of the year ⁠— even bigger than all the preseason changes that came along in the off-season (remember Chemtech Drake?).

Coming in between the pro play splits, the “durability update” as it’s been coined will drastically reduce burst damage and make teamfights drag out for longer. It won’t be to Season 8 levels, but it’ll be a lot more expressive than the meta currently has been, Riot hopes.

It may only seem minor in name, but in practice it’s the longest changelist in the game’s 12-year history. Every single champion, most of the item shop, and a number of runes are on the hit list.

Riot admits the River King is hard to balance around solo queue and pro play at the same time.
Riot are finally fixing League’s “high-damage meta” in patch 12.10.

We’ve broken down what to expect from LoL patch 12.10 right here with the full patch notes.

What’s changed in LoL patch 12.10?

Massive durability update will shake up the meta

It’s the biggest patch in League of Legends history, literally. Every single champion, half the item shop, plus a number of runes are being overhauled as Riot takes aim at the high-damage meta gripping the game in Season 12.

It’s called the “durability update”, and the developers are hoping to increase individual champion tankiness and stop the amount of bursty kills in the game.

“While tons of damage can be fun and exciting, we believe that increasing champions’ defensive stats will be beneficial for letting players showcase their skill by giving them more opportunities for counterplay and to live out their high moments,” the developers stated on May 6.

This includes increasing base defensive stats, and culling some offensive capabilities as well as healing and shielding. Other mechanics, like Grievous Wounds, are also being nerfed to compensate the sweeping changes.

Healing and shielding is being cut across the board as champions get more innate defensive stats.

Riot confirms no individual champion changes as dust settles

While there’s community concern the durability update will make some champions wildly unbalanced ⁠— Vayne is a popular punching bag ⁠— Riot has confirmed no individual champion changes will be made in LoL patch 12.10 as the dust settles on the major systems change.

Instead, Riot will be keeping an eye out for outliers across the first few days of the update, promising a micropatch within a few days if anything lands too well (or poorly).

“This is a pretty disruptive patch and we’ll be watching closely and ready to react,” developer ‘Phlox’ said on May 16.

“Wide sweeping changes like this just aren’t predictable enough for us to know which specific champ will be OP and by how much before release. It’s gonna be a fun time figuring out new builds and counters and all that though.”

Vayne is one champion players are concerned will be OP following LoL patch 12.10.

Second wave of High Noon skins go live

After the first wave of High Noon skins went live as part of LoL patch 12.9, Riot are shipping out five more to round out the event in 2022.

You’ll be able to pick up new cosmetics for:

  • High Noon Samira
  • High Noon Sion
  • High Noon Tahm Kench
  • High Noon Twitch
  • High Noon Viktor

Each of the new High Noon skins will launch with eight chromas as well as special loading screen borders available in the event shop.

Skins

High Noon Samira

“The poster was straightforward enough: ‘WANTED: Tahm Kench – Devil, DEAD OR ALIVE’, followed by a generous sum. Only the Mechanical Devil’s got that kinda cash to pay. Samira ain’t sure why the other bounty hunters seemed so spooked by a little ol’ devil hunt. Well, let ’em shy away. This gunpowder witch don’t scare easy.”

High Noon Sion

“As soon as Sion knew life, he knew rage: rage that ripped the restraints from the operating table; rage that crushed the bones of those men who tried to play at the miracle of Creation; rage that he ain’t, nor ever would be, the second clockwork angel they had hoped to construct. Sion knows rage, and so will the world.”

High Noon Tahm Kench

“Tahm Kench is a magnanimous devil: happy to lend a magical sword to a lady in need, or to assist her in robbing the Sulfur Rail, or even to deliver her to a calamitous destiny as a fellow Harbinger of the End Times. He don’t need no compensation. She’ll just owe him a favor… because in the End, it pays to have friends.”

High Noon Twitch

“It starts like this: An ill wind blows across the desert, dessicated rats turn up in the streets, rotting under the hot sun. Then the traveling undertaker arrives. No one knows who (or what) he is, nor where he hails from… But it seems even Death has a bone to pick with the King of the Sulfur Rail. Another Harbinger arrives.”

High Noon Viktor

“Many a road to Hell was paved with good intent. Dr. Viktor may be the Mechanical Devil’s kept engineer now, but his work began as charity: trying to “rehome” the souls of the dead in clockwork bodies, in order to circumvent mortality itself. Shame that Mordekaiser saw the good doctor’s kindness and struck him a deal he could not deny.”
