League of Legends Update 12.7: Release date, PBE leaks, Yasuo and Yone buffs, Arcana skins
Update 12.7 for League of Legends is here, and Riot Games is promising big changes. With MSI on the horizon, Riot is making major meta adjustments —champions like Jace and Zeri are scalped while Ionian brothers Yasuo and Yone are getting buffed. Here are the full patch notes.
After a couple of small updates, Riot is going all out in League of Legends patch 12.7.
The imminent start of MSI 2022 is a major concern as the developers look to tone down some of the most powerful pro gaming decisions over the course of the spring. That's why you'll see Jace, Lee Sin, Ryze and Zeri will be nerfed despite not being very good in solo queue.
Similarly, non-meta picks like the junglers Lilia and Karthus, as well as Gangplank and Wukong in the top lane get some help. Oh and Yasuo and Yone also after Immortal Shieldbow nerfs.
And as usual, there's a new set of cosmetics as the fan-favorite Arcana skin line returns. with five new championsgetting a new look inspired by Tarot.
