Riot is pushing another big patch, patch 12.11, to balance out the meta after the recent Durability Update.
League of Legends patch 12.10’s durability update pretty much shifted the whole meta. While previously, the game was all about quick teamfights and kills, right now, teamfights are more strategy-focused and tend to last longer.
Therefore, it was pretty much destined that some champions with high sustain and great scaling would shine in the meta while burst mages and assassins would suffer the most.
Because of that, Riot Games, however, did push a hotfix patch, patch 10.b, where they nerfed Vayne, Taliyah, Senna, and others.
But it seems the balancing team is just getting started. League of Legends Lead Designer Riot Phroxzon has shared the upcoming patch 12.11 details where they are changing around 30 items. Moreover, some underwhelming champions like Ryze & Lee Sin will see some buffs along with Aphelios, Zeri, Irelia, and others.
Furthermore, even after the recent nerfs, both Senna & Taliyah are still dominating the meta with over 53% win rate, so they will have to endure another round of nerfs in patch 12.11. Besides, Master Yi, Wukong, Swain, Brand, Kog’Maw, and Rengar are also on the nerf list.
Not to mention, League of Legends’ 160th champion Bel’Veth, The Empress Of The Void, will also release on patch 12.11.
Here’s everything you need to know about another big patch of the year, patch 12.11.
LoL Patch 12.11 Release Date
The durability update balancing patch is currently on the PBE for testing, where Riot is closely monitoring every change. And one of the biggest patches of 2022, League of Legends patch 12.11, is scheduled to release on Wednesday, June 8, 2022.
LoL Patch 12.11 release time and server maintenance:
- NA: 3:00 AM PT
- EUW: 5:00 UK time
- EUNE: 3:00 CET
New Champion – Bel’Veth
Check out more details on Bel’Veth from here.
Abilities
Passive – Death in Lavender
After using an ability, Bel’Veth’s next 2 attacks have increased attack speed. Additionally, whenever Bel’veth takes down a large monster or champion she gains permanent bonus Attack speed in the form of Lavender stacks. Bel’Veth attacks faster than normal and does not have an attack speed cap, however, her attacks and on-hit effects deal reduced damage and she does not gain attack speed on level up.
Q – Void Surge
Bel’Veth dashes in one of four directions, dealing damage to all enemies she passes through and applying on-hit effects. Each direction has its own unique cooldown that scales with attack speed.
W – Above and Below
Bel’Veth slams her tail down, dealing damage, knocking up, and slowing enemies hit. Upon hitting an enemy champion, this ability reduces Q – Void Surge’s dash cooldown in the direction of the champion hit.
E – Royal Maelstrom
Bel’Veth channels a storm of slashes around her, gaining damage reduction and increased life steal. Each slash strikes the lowest health enemy within her Maelstrom, dealing more damage the more health they are missing. The amount of slashes scales with her attack speed.
R – Endless Banquet
Passive: Every second attack against the same target deals additional True Damage, stacking infinitely. Takedowns against Epic Monsters and Champions leave behind a piece of Void Coral. Epic Monsters from the Void like Rift Herald and Baron Nashor drop special, voidier Void Coral.
Active: Bel’veth consumes a piece of Void Coral and explodes, slowing and dealing True Damage to nearby enemies based on their missing health. Upon consuming Void Coral, Bel’Veth temporarily changes into her True Form. Consuming Void Coral left by Epic Monsters from the Void (Rift Herald and Baron Nashor) grants Bel’Veth her true form for an extended duration and causes minions that die in her presence to be reborn as faithful Voidlings. Voidlings are small minions that will serve Bel’Veth by marching down the lane in which they were spawned.
True Form: When Bel’Veth unleashes her True Form, she gains increased max health, out-of-combat move speed, attack range, and total attack speed. While in her True Form, she also gains the ability to dash through walls with Q – Void Surge.
