Riot Games has unveiled League of Legends update 14.12, featuring a mix of champion adjustments, item tweaks, and new content. Additionally, this League of Legends patch will inaugurate the Hall of Legends event, running from June 12 to July 8, celebrating the achievements of top esports players, focusing this year on Faker and his signature champion Ahri.

League of Legends is a renowned online multiplayer game developed by Riot Games, where players engage in intense team-based battles. Set in the fictional world of Runeterra, League of Legends features extensive lore and diverse champions, each with a rich backstory and unique abilities. The game emphasizes strategic gameplay, requiring players to balance offense and defense, control various objectives on the map, and adapt to dynamic in-game situations.

New League of Legends Skin is Ridiculously Expensive

Riot Games announces an upcoming League of Legends skin addition at a ridiculously expensive price, taking the community by surprise.

Update 14.12 introduces significant changes to several League of Legends champions, including Aatrox, whose health regeneration growth has decreased while his armor growth has increased. His E healing is reduced and no longer increased during World Ender, but his R increased healing has seen a notable boost. These modifications aim to solidify Aatrox as a heavy frontliner with enhanced self-healing. Other champions receiving updates include Akali, Akshan, Ashe, Blitzcrank, Ezreal, Karma, Master Yi, Nilah, Rek'Sai, Skarner, Talon, Tryndamere, Twisted Fate, Viktor, Vladimir, Yone, and Yuumi. Each of these champions has been tweaked to address balance issues and improve the gameplay experience.

Item adjustments in this patch focus on smoothing build paths and ensuring competitive balance. Lord Dominik’s Regards now has a more accessible build path, and Statikk Shiv’s recipe has been altered to facilitate its adoption into more champion builds. Additionally, Void Staff and Serylda’s Grudge receive buffs to make them more attractive options for mages and bursty casters. Runes also see changes, with First Strike’s flat gold and damage amplification reduced to find a better balance. Updated recommended rune pages for champions like Yone, Seraphine, and Talon have been introduced to enhance performance with optimal setups.

In addition to gameplay changes, the patch expands the already extensive League of Legends skin list with Immortalized Legend Ahri, Risen Legend Ahri, Risen Legend LeBlanc, and Crystalis Indomitus Xerath. These skins add a fresh aesthetic layer to the game, offering players more customization options. Some of these skins are part of the Hall of Legends event, a highlight of this patch, featuring special in-game content and cosmetics commemorating top player Faker’s illustrious career.

Despite backlash from League of Legends players over the Hall of Legends event's perceived overpriced skins (one costing roughly $450), the game remains popular. With update 14.12, Riot Games aims to enhance the gameplay experience through extensive changes and new content.
