The 2023 League of Legends preseason draws to a close, and Season 13 is knocking on the door. As a result, fans all over…
League of Legends Update 12.3: Rework Ahri, Nerf Zero Details
Butcher79
League of Legends 12.3 update is on the horizon, where Riot Games is working on changes for the February patch - this time the developers are nerfing nine champions, changing more than a dozen items, and more.
League of Legends Season 2 has been challenging for developers, and as such, they're aiming for over two dozen items and champions to try and get the 2022 blooming meta back under control.
This includes mostly nerfs to the nine champions caught in the crossfire.
Even Zeri, just released last week, doesn't take a big hit. Other season 12 breakout picks like Corky, Caitlyn, Amumu, and even Pike's under-picked mid-streak are also suffering. Only Lillia and Quinn are actually enjoying this update, and even those are just minor changes.
In addition, Riot is releasing new Lunar Revel skins.
And finally, the controversial Chemtech Dragon and Soul was disabled. Here are all the details on the League of Legends 12.3 patch coming out in the next two weeks.
When will the League of Legends 12.3 update be released?
Season 12 has finally kicked off and Riot Games are back to their regular League of Legends schedule, when it comes to update cycles and patches hitting the live servers.
This means that players can expect Season 12 Patch 1 to arrive on February 10st. Tuesday's update will kick off at XNUMXam AEDT on Oceanic's servers before rolling out to the rest of the world throughout the rest of the day.
Players can expect several hours of downtime once the fix begins.
Matchmaking and competitive queues on all League of Legends servers will be disabled approximately three hours before the official release of the next Season 12 patch.
What will happen in the LoL 12.3 update?
Ahri's makeover has finally begun!
Ahri is getting a makeover in League of Legends season 12, and Riot is giving the Nine-Tailed Fox one of their popular "mini makeovers" to bring the mage back into the meta. The changes aim to make Ari "feel good" after years of neglect.
Lead Gameplay Designer Brian "Axes" Salvatore explained in his blog of December 16, that Ahri's influence in the middle lane has waned and Riot wants to bring her back into the fold.
In addition to the gameplay overhaul, Ahri is getting a visual update - with the two combined, basically forming a complete overhaul of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Lunar Skins
Riot Games is celebrating Chinese New Year like they always do with a slew of awesome new League of Legends skins celebrating the big day.
Here are all the skins in this update:
- Fireworks
- Paving stone
- Teemo
- Xin Zhao
- Tristana
- Diana
We understand that these new skins will come with varying degrees of chroma packs.
League patch 12.3 will be released on February 1st.
PortalVirtualReality will continue to add all planned changes as Riot reveals numbers and as they pop up on early PBE servers (h/t Surrender@20). Read the full notes below.

Ahri's makeover
Base characteristics are weakened, health, armor and health regen are reduced.
[P] Passive changes. Killing minions and monsters, Ahri collects souls, collecting 9 souls, she restores health. When she kills champions, she restores even more health.
[Q] Orb of Deception gets mana bones up on a late build. Not scary.
[W] Foxfire buffs, increases damage, reduces mana cost, increases the duration of the buff on running speed, but reduces the window of application of the skill. Plus, they promise to correct the logic so that the lights hit the right target.
[E] Charm increases damage and reduces mana bones, but removes 20% damage amplification. But this is embarrassing. Of course, some skills have increased damage by about 20%, but not the sphere of deception and not the ult.
[R] Spectral Rush, on the contrary, increases the casting window by up to 15 seconds. And the passive now grants additional ult charges (up to 3 extra) if Ahri finishes champions. A total of 6 dashes on Ahri's ult (or 4 if they reduced the initial number of charges). Such a good buff.
