Discover the Latest Changes in League of Legends Update 14.12: Champion Tweaks, New Skins, and the Hall of Legends Event!

Riot Games has announced the release of League of Legends update 14.12, which includes a range of champion adjustments, item tweaks, and fresh content. This patch also marks the start of the Hall of Legends event, running from June 12 to July 8, celebrating top esports players' achievements, with a special focus on Faker and his signature champion Ahri.

League of Legends, developed by Riot Games, is a popular online multiplayer game where players engage in team-based battles in the fictional world of Runeterra. The game is known for its rich lore, diverse champions, and strategic gameplay, requiring players to balance offense and defense, control objectives, and adapt to changing situations.

The 14.12 update brings significant changes to several champions. For example, Aatrox's health regeneration growth is reduced while his armor growth is increased. His E healing is now lower and unaffected by World Ender, but his R healing is significantly boosted, enhancing his role as a frontliner. 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, with tweaks aimed at improving game balance and playability.

Item changes in this patch aim to streamline build paths and ensure competitive balance. Lord Dominik’s Regards and Statikk Shiv have more accessible build paths, while Void Staff and Serylda’s Grudge receive buffs to appeal more to mages and bursty casters. Runes also see adjustments, such as First Strike’s reduced flat gold and damage amplification. Recommended rune pages for champions like Yone, Seraphine, and Talon have been updated for optimal setups.

In addition to gameplay changes, the patch introduces new skins, including Immortalized Legend Ahri, Risen Legend Ahri, Risen Legend LeBlanc, and Crystalis Indomitus Xerath, adding new customization options. Some skins are part of the Hall of Legends event, which honors Faker’s career with special in-game content and cosmetics.

Despite some backlash over the event's perceived overpriced skins (with one costing about $450), League of Legends remains popular. Update 14.12 aims to enhance the gameplay experience with extensive changes and new content.
