Detailed description of the update League of Legends 12.17

Meet Update 12.17 as Riot continues to gear up for the 2022 World Cup! Below you will find a detailed description of all the changes and additions added to the game with the new version 12.17.

The World Cup will be held on the version of the game 12.18, so this is the last chance to make some serious changes without turning the pro meta upside down. Today's update focuses on weakening the champions that dominate the playoffs around the world. However, there will also be power-ups, because some heroes have completely ceased to appear in games. There have also been significant changes in maokaya и Hecarima. Let's not stretch the introduction - you will have to read a lot without that.

KEY FEATURES OF UPDATE LOL 12.17

King Viego, Blitzcrank from Zenith Games, Jace from Zenith Games and Lee Sin from Zenith Games will go on sale September 9, 2022.

CHAMPIONS

ARI

Charm [E] duration reduced at low skill levels.

 Ahri has fascinated pros around the world with her safe playstyle and ability to start fights on her own terms. We are hitting those strong points of the vixen to make it harder to play and [E] is no longer a versatile tool in its paws. 

---

CHARM [E]

ENCHANTMENT DURATION 1,4/1,55/1,7/1,85/2 секунды ⇒ 1,2/1,4/1,6/1,8/2 секунды.

AZIR

Rise! [W] from ability power is reduced, cooldown is increased at low skill levels. The cooldown of Shifting Sand [E] has been increased.

 When the Desert Emperor is too strong, he quickly becomes a mid laner in the pro level. We're making it less safe for Azir to lane, as well as nerfing his scaling. He will remain hypercarry, just a little will moderate appetites. 

---

Rise! [W]

DAMAGE FROM SAND WARRIORS 50-150 (based on level) (+60% ability power) ⇒ 50-150 (based on level) (+55% Ability Power).

RELOAD 8/7,5/7/6,5/6 секунд ⇒ 9/8,25/7,5/6,75/6 секунд.

---

MOVING SAND [E]

RELOAD 19/18/17/16/15 секунд ⇒ 22/20,5/19/17,5/16 секунд.

CAMILLA

Shield strength from Adaptive Defense (passive skill) has been increased. Hook Shot / Wall Dash damage [E] increased.

 Camille can't compete with other popular top laners. Moderately increase her strength in initiation and short skirmishes so that she can shine in suitable situations, but at the same time not start to dominate. 

---

ADAPTIVE DEFENSE (PASSIVE)

SHIELD STRENGTH FROM HEALTH 17% ⇒ 20%.

---

HOOK SHOT / WALL DASH [E]

DAMAGE 60/95/130/165/200 (+75% bonus AD) ⇒ 80/110/140/170/200 (+90% bonus attack damage)

EZREAL

The cooldown of Magic Shift [E] has been reduced.

 Ezreal disappeared from pro games and solo queue (did he get lost without a map?), so we shift his [E] in the direction of greater accessibility so that he can use the skill more often when attacking and defending. 

---

MAGIC SHIFT [E]

RELOAD 28/25/22/19/16 секунд ⇒ 26/23/20/17/14 секунд.

GRAVES

The recharge time of Finita la Comedy [Q] has been changed. The base damage of Collateral Damage [R] has been increased.

 Jungles are initiators in the meta right now with a lot of CC and buffs to help allies. Graves had no place among them. We increase his strength and increase the clearing speed so that he can return to the forest. 

---

FINITA LA COMEDY [Q]

RELOAD 12/11/10/9/8 секунд ⇒ 13/11,5/10/8,5/7 секунд.

---

COLLATERAL DAMAGE [R]

DAMAGE 250/400/550 (+150% bonus attack damage) ⇒ 275/425/575 (+150% bonus attack damage)

HECARIM

All skills have been changed.

 Recent seasons have been wild for Hecarim in leaps and bounds – sometimes he was strong at the professional level, sometimes he was weak in the single lineup. At the same time, he constantly changed his harness and managed to be a tank, a killer and a warrior. The latter role suits him best - this kind of gameplay is more interesting and less focused on the professional scene. Therefore, we are adjusting Hecarim's [Q] and [W] to increase synergy with Warrior items. In addition, we are reducing his base utility and damage to make him less attractive as a tank. These changes should encourage players to collect more damage dealing tools. 

---

BASIC INDICATORS

ARMOR 35 ⇒ 32.

HEALTH GROWTH 104 ⇒ 99.

---

RAMPAGE [Q]

DAMAGE 60/90/120/150/180 (+90% bonus AD) ⇒ 60/85/110/135/160 (+95% bonus attack damage)

---

HORROR AURA [W]

RELOAD 14 seconds ⇒ 16/15,5/15/14,5/14 секунд.

NEW HEAVY CAVALRY While Aura of Dread is active, Hecarim's armor and magic resistance are increased by 15/20/25/30/35.

---

MAXIMUM KNOCKBACK 450 ⇒ 350.

RELOAD 20/19/18/17/16 секунд ⇒ 18 seconds at all skill levels.

---

SHADOW DAMAGE [R]

DURATION OF FEAR 0,75-2 seconds depending on distance covered ⇒ 0,75-1,5 seconds depending on distance covered.

KASSADIN

Void Orb [Q] cooldown reduced, mana cost reduced.

 Kassadin is usually picked to counter mages, and we want to reinforce this trend by increasing the power in difficult encounters with sorcerers. Now he will be able to achieve more success in the lane and lead the team to victory. 

---

VOID SPHERE [Q]

RELOAD 11/10,5/10/9,5/9 секунд ⇒ 10/9,5/9/8,5/8 секунд.

MANA COST 70/75/80/85/90 ⇒ 60/65/70/75/80.

MAOKAI

Siphon Magic (Passive), Thorn Strike [Q], Throw Sapling [E], and Nature's Embrace [R] have been changed.

 Maokai has long become quite harmless, despite the intimidating appearance. We help the ent get back to the roots in the top lane and in the jungle, while not taking away from him the opportunity to act as a support. 

---

DRAIN MAGIC (PASSIVE)

NEW TREES Strike Back When large monsters damage Maokai, the cooldown of Siphon Magic is reduced by 1,5 seconds per attack.

TREATMENT 5-45 (+4,5-11% Max Health) (at levels 1-15) ⇒ 4-34 (+4,8-14% Max Health) (at levels 1-17)

---

THORN PUNCH [Q]

DAMAGE 70/110/150/190/230 (+40% AP) ⇒ 65/110/155/200/245 (+40% ability power)

NEWWOOD WONDER Q now deals damage based on maximum health (2/2,25/2,5/2,75/3%).

POWERFUL NEW BRANCHES [Q] now deals 40/60/80/100/120 additional damage to monsters.

---

THROW THE SEEDLE [E]

REMOVEDHAZARDOUS HEALTH Saplings no longer deal damage based on their maximum health.

BASE DAMAGE 20/45/70/95/120 (+7/7,25/7,5/7,75/8% (+70% per 100 ability power) of the target's maximum health) ⇒ 55/80/105/130/155 (+42,5% AP, +6% bonus health)

DAMAGE FOR REINFORCED SHRUBS 40/90/140/190/240 (+14/14,5/15/15,5/16% (+1,4% per 100 ability power) of the target's maximum health) ⇒ 110/160/210/260/310 (+85% AP, +12% bonus health)

NEW MINION PROTECTION Minions no longer take additional damage from bush saplings.

MANA COST 60/70/80/90/100 ⇒ 45/55/65/75/85.

SLOW DOWN 35% ⇒ 45%.

NEWGET ANYONE Reinforced saplings from bushes now slow by 35% ⇒ 45% (+2% per 100 ability power) (+6% per 1000 bonus health)

---

NATURE'S EMBRACE [R]

MILITARY VELOCITY OF THE PROJECT 50 ⇒ 100.

MAXIMUM PROJECT SPEED 650 ⇒ 750.

PROJECT ACCELERATION 250 ⇒ 300.

NEW FOREST ADVANCE Maokai's movement speed is now increased by 40/50/60% when hitting enemy champions (the speed decays over 2 seconds).

MISS FORTUNE

The base damage of Two for One [Q] has been increased at higher levels, and the cast time has been changed. W-Walk's mana cost has been reduced and the bonus attack speed has been increased. Lead Rain's E cooldown increased, base damage decreased, AP damage ratio increased, slow now scales with AP.

 Miss Fortune has always been known for her flexibility in terms of builds - she could rely on critical damage and attack speed, or on lethality. However, both builds have been having problems lately: the first one is too weak, and when using the second MF, it spams [E] instead of bullying enemies with [Q]. The following changes are intended to address both issues. 

---

TWO FOR ONE [Q]

PHYSICAL DAMAGE 20/40/60/80/100 (+100% AP) (+35% AP) ⇒ 20/45/70/95/120 (+100% attack damage) (+35% ability power)

TIME OF APPLICATION 0,25 seconds ⇒ Same as auto attack.

---

WALK [W]

MANA COST 45 ⇒ 35.

ATTACK SPEED 40/55/70/85/100% ⇒ 50/65/80/95/110%.

---

LEAD RAIN [E]

RELOAD 18/16/14/12/10 секунд ⇒ 18/17/16/15/14 секунд.

TOTAL DAMAGE (8 WAVES) 80/115/150/185/220 (+80% AP) ⇒ 70/100/130/160/190 (+100% ability power)

SLOW DOWN 40/45/50/55/60% ⇒ 50% (+4% per 100 ability power)

US

The interaction of Blessing of the Seamistress [E] with Electric Execution has changed.

 Nami with Electrocute became Lucian's best friend, as he could quickly activate a rune with a combination of [Q] and a double auto attack. We are changing how her [E] interacts with Execute so that it works like other similar skills. We hope Nami will now make friends with the rest of the shooters. And in general, fish and electricity are incompatible things. 

---

BLESSING OF THE MIDDLE OF THE SEAS [E]

REMOVED Electrocute no longer counts for every target hit while [E] is active. The skill is now only counted by Execute and other similar effects once per cast.

NOCTURNE

Attack speed increased. The cooldown of Blades of the Blackest Shadow (passive skill) has been reduced.

 Nocturne has not been published lately - and not because of a dislike for light, but because of too low efficiency. Give the Eternal Nightmare a couple of buffs that will increase its synergy with items that increase attack speed. So he can kill monsters faster. 

---

BASIC INDICATORS

ATTACK SPEED RATIO 0,668 ⇒ 0,721.

---

BLADES OF THE BLACKEST SHADOW (PASSIVE)

RELOAD 14 seconds ⇒ 13 seconds.

RELL

The walking speed of Ferromancy: Hard Landing [W] has been increased. The recharge time of Miscellaneous Poles [E] no longer depends on the level of the skill.

 Rell hasn't been popular for a long time, so we've prepared some useful edits to help her get back on track. 

---

FERROMANCE: HARD LANDING [W]

MOVEMENT SPEED ON FOOT 250 ⇒ 280.

---

DIFFERENT POLES [E]

RELOAD 18/16,25/14,5/12,75/11 секунд ⇒ 13 seconds.

RENEKTON

Weak Death's base damage [Q] has been reduced, damage ratio from attack power has been increased.

 Renekton returned and immediately began to dominate the top lane - just like in the old days. Moreover, it destroys not only melee champions, but also those with a large attack range. We reduce the damage of the crocodile (especially in cases where it does not increase the attack power) so that his opponents can breathe more freely. 

---

DEATH TO THE WEAK [Q]

DAMAGE 65/100/135/170/205 (+80% bonus AD) ⇒ 60/90/120/150/180 (+100% bonus attack damage)

EMPOWERED SKILL DAMAGE 100/150/200/250/300 (+120% bonus AD) ⇒ 90/135/180/225/270 (+140% bonus attack damage)

SETT

The damage ratio of Puzzle [W] from attack power has been increased. Scuffle E slow has been increased.

 Sett rarely appears in matches, which is strange, because the top lane of the meta has tanks that he should easily deal with. We increase his damage and effectiveness of control so that he can regain the championship title. 

---

PUZZLE [W]

ATTACK DAMAGE 20% for every 100 additional attack power ⇒ 25% per 100 bonus attack damage

---

FACEBATTLE [E]

SLOW DOWN 50% ⇒ 70%.

SIVIR

Attack power growth reduced. Ricochet's W bounce damage ratio has been reduced.

 After a mini-rework, Sivir has become an excellent shooter with damage over an area. However, she still too just manages to deal damage. As a result, we're nerfing her [W] so that she doesn't push opponents down the lane less and doesn't win team fights with a single button. 

---

BASIC INDICATORS

ATTACK DAMAGE BOOST 3 ⇒ 2,8.

---

RICOCHET [W]

Bounce Damage Ratio 30/35/40/45/50% of total attack power ⇒ 25/30/35/40/45% total attack damage

SILAS

Health reduced. Q Chain Bash cooldown increased.

 Silas is too reliable at the pro level right now - [Q] allows him to quickly clear minions, and [E] gives him defense and initiation opportunities. We make a few point changes to reduce its strength on the line. In particular, this will affect clear speed and early stamina. 

---

BASIC INDICATORS

HEALTH 595 ⇒ 575.

---

CHAIN ​​HIT [Q]

RELOAD 10/9/8/7/6 секунд ⇒ 11/10/9/8/7 секунд.

TARIQ

Magic resistance reduced. Blind's [E] cooldown has been increased.

 Tarik too shines a lot in the bottom lane - he is hardy, restores a lot of health and does not release enemies from control. The following changes will make him more vulnerable to debilitating damage and reduce his stun availability. 

---

BASIC INDICATORS

MAGIC RESISTANCE 32 ⇒ 28.

---

BLIND [E]

RELOAD 15/14/13/12/11 секунд ⇒ 16/15/14/13/12 секунд.

TRANDLE

Frozen Ground [W] cooldown increased at all skill levels.

 The troll king has established dominance over the forest. We do not want to kick him out of there, so we only slightly weaken [W]. The skill will no longer be available 100% of the time when Trundle levels it up in the first place, and the troll himself will clear camps more slowly. 

---

ICE GROUND [W]

RELOAD 15/14/13/12/11 секунд ⇒ 18/17/16/15/14 секунд.

TWISTED FATE

The damage ratio of Wild Cards [Q] from ability power has been increased. The mana cost of Card Select [W] has been reduced.

 Despite the fact that Twisted Fate has all the cards in his hand (okay, there are only three of them, but still), he constantly uses only blue. To give him the opportunity to throw more killer red and yellow cards more often, we are reducing the cost of [W]. 

WILD CARDS [Q]

AP DAMAGE RATIO 70% ⇒ 80%.

---

MAP SELECT [W]

MANA COST 40/55/70/85/100 ⇒ 30/40/50/60/70.

WUKONG

Attack speed reduced. Movement speed reduced.

 At the professional level of the game, Wukong has long been considered the king of not only monkeys, but also the forest. We want to knock him off his throne by lowering his clear speed in the early stages of the match and weakening his ability to quickly move around the map. 

---

BASIC INDICATORS

ATTACK SPEED 0,711 ⇒ 0,680.

MOVEMENT SPEED 345 ⇒ 340.

ITEMS

STOPWATCH

 From the very moment of its appearance, the Stopwatch is quite strong - especially in professional games where ping is minimal. We increase the cost of the item so that buying it as a consumable hits the pocket harder. 

---

COST Xnumx gold ⇒ 750 gold (Please note: It's About Time still only reduces the cost of items collected from the Stopwatch by 250 gold).

GUARDIAN ANGEL

 With the increase in the cost of the Stopwatch, the Guardian Angel will also become more expensive. As the value of Stasis has increased, we want players to take a more conscious approach to upgrading the Stopwatch, rather than turning it into new items on the machine, just so that it does not disappear. 

---

ASSEMBLY COST Xnumx gold ⇒ 150 gold.

TOTAL COST Xnumx gold ⇒ 3000 gold.

ATTACK POWER 40 ⇒ 45.

BRACHT OF THE SEEKER

 The Seeker's Bracers have been relatively weak for a long time. We don't want them to become a counter to assassins that quickly limit their lane options, so we're increasing the item's ability power. Bracers are now more comparable to other Hourglass components. 

---

ABILITY POWER 20 ⇒ 30.

HOURGLASS ZHONY

 The cost of the Hourglass also increased due to the rise in price of the Stopwatch. The watch, back in season 10, has become a cheap defensive tool that is taken only for the sake of Stasis. As the price increases, the parameters of the item will also increase, so that it will be possible to buy it for their sake. 

---

TOTAL COST Xnumx gold ⇒ 3000 gold.

ABILITY POWER 65 ⇒ 80.

SKILL ACCELERATION 10 ⇒ 15.

BALANCE CHANGES IN ARAM

Champion Buffs

GRAGAS -3% damage taken ⇒ -5% damage taken

ZED +15% damage dealt & -15% damage taken ⇒ +10% damage dealt & -10% damage taken

• If you've chosen [R] Mordekaiser, the champion icon next to your health bar will now correctly disappear when he respawns.

BUG FIXES AND USEFUL CHANGES

USEFUL CHANGES

• Fixed significant inconsistencies in the milestones of some of the Eternals of the initial series (for example, for the 1st milestone of the Eternal "Epic Monsters Killed", Amum needed to kill 9 monsters, Diana - 3, and Fiddlesticks - 2). Now the values ​​are more standardized. Note: These changes were introduced in the 12.16 update, but were not included in the description.
• Updated descriptions for effects on champions that can switch from melee to ranged (eg Jace and Nidalee). Now the values ​​in them change dynamically depending on the selected form.
