League of Legends 12.9 update patch notes: Riot has posted a glimpse of League of Legends Patch 12.9, offering fans an early peek during which champions and equipment will be buffed and nerfed in the LOL upcoming update. The one and only legendary item getting alterations are Hullbreaker, which is now being substantially nerfed. Although League of Legends update 12.8 was released recently, that altered a few champions, boosting 14 while nerfing a few others.
Because the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational will indeed be held around LoL Patch 12.8, the next patch will instead emphasize the solo league. Although the official patch notes have yet to be released, several updates are being revealed on the PBE on a regular basis. So, let’s go over the League of Legends 12.9 update patch notes that have been provided so far in this.
What is the release date for the League of Legends 12.9 update?
The League of Legends 12.9 update is scheduled to launch on May 11th, 2022 at 3 a.m. PT, as per the League of Legends patch schedule. Riot is working on a Taliyah mid-scope adjustment that will be equally as significant as Swain. We saw some substantial changes in the champions in the last patch, which resulted in a modest shift in the gameplay meta. Buffs and nerfs to champions and in-game items will be included in the 12.9 patches.

Matt “Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison, the lead designer, tweeted a sneak peek of the upcoming 12.9 patches. According to him, “In Patch 12.10, we’ll be releasing a major upgrade to enhance champion durability, so stay tuned for the Quick Gameplay Thoughts on Friday! The Olaf and Taliyah updates, which we’re pleased to finally get into your hands, are highlights.”
In the League of Legends 12.9 update, four champions will receive buffs. They are as follows:
- Hecarim
- Varus
- Braum
- Thresh
The following six heroes will be nerfed in the League of Legends 12.9 update:
- Rengar
- Master Yi
- Nidalee
- Ahri
- Renata Glasc
- Sion
The three LOL champions Olaf, Taliyah, and Pyke will be adjusted in this League of Legends 12.9 update. Despite the champions, the update to Hullbreaker is perhaps the most substantial change in LoL Patch 12.9 for us. Hullbreaker has a passive attack that allows for massive split-push potential.
