Though it’s a relatively minor patch with small fixes and adjustments to a handful of champions prior to the 2023 preseason later this year, League of Legends Patch 12.21 marks the release of K’Sante, the Pride of Nazumah.
As for genel balance adjustments, three champions are getting nerfed: Bel’Veth, Blitzcnk, and Miss Fortune. All three have been considered too dominant lately and Riot is taking action to reduce that power. Champions that are getting buffed include Corki, Malzahar, and Xin Zhao, who have been struggling to find their place for a while, and Ahri, who got a little too weak after a Patch 12.17 nerf. Ornn’s ultimate ability is also being updated.
