Patch 12.10 Notes

ahrisoo, Riot Riru, RiotAether

5/24/2022

Have no fear, the Champion Durability Update is here!

This patch is a doozy, y'all. We've been working on a sweeping set of changes to increase champion durability across the board. So, unlike other patches that typically focus on balance via individual tweaks, 12.10 is all about evenly increasing durability overall (and nerfing related systems accordingly, like heals, shields, and sustain). You can expect to see longer fights throughout the game, more effort required to burst down your foes, and bigger windows of opportunity for skill expression. Read on for the details, and check out the most recent Quick Gameplay Thoughts for even more context!

We expect this patch will shift the meta quite a bit, but as always, we'll keep an eye out for any critical follow-up needed. GLHF!

Over in TFT, you can catch the last patch of Gizmos & Gadgets over in the TFT patch notes here!, as Dragonlands takes flight in just two weeks with patch 12.11!

5/26/2022 Champion Durability Follow-Ups & Swain Bugfix

We've approached this first set of adjustments to the Durability Update by looking at champions who have fallen outside of our usual winrate bounds as well as those who've changed disproportionately since patch release.

Our initial observations: As expected, many champions with significant heals/shields in their kit were hit by the systemic nerfs to heals/shields. We're following up on the ones that were nerfed by the broad pass a bit too hard by partially reverting as needed. Also unsurprisingly, late game scalers and damage-over-time champions have jumped quite a bit, but to what extent each champion would change was harder to predict.

Note that this mid-patch update only addresses the most urgent outliers. We’re still monitoring the data as all of you get more games in, so expect more changes to come in patch 12.11.

Base Health +70

Armor Growth +1.2

Magic Resist Growth +0.8

POOR LOST SOUL Thresh will receive an adjusted Durability Base Stat Package (see champion details)

Heals, Shields, Sustain, and Grievous Wounds

A big takeaway here is that our goal is NOT to nerf sustain. Since each champion utilizes sustain differently, some will be stronger with the update and others weaker. That said, we’ll be keeping a very close eye on these changes as they roll out and making adjustments where needed.

Since increasing durability means that heals, shields, and sustain will matter more to everyone, we're nerfing these systems accordingly with approximately equal weight. On a similar note, we’re also nerfing Grievous Wounds this patch in order to keep it in balance with healing so that its power will be roughly the same as before. These changes apply to all parts of the game, including champions, items, runes, Summoner Spells, and objectives.

Healing Reduced by ~10% earlier in game ~28% in later phases of the game (varies by champion)

Shielding Reduced by ~10%

Omnivamp Reduced by ~10%

Grievous Wounds 40% reduced healing ⇒ 30% reduced

Enhanced Grievous Wounds 60% reduced ⇒ 50% reduced

Proactive Extended Combat Nerfs

With these updates, you can expect fights to last a little longer. The goal is not to make games longer, but rather to nerf a few systems (Sunfire Aegis, Moonstone Renewer, Demonic Embrace, and Conditioning) that could dominate the game if left unchecked (League of Cleavers anyone?). We don’t want to pre-nerf potentially OP champions for this patch, but we’re confident these systems would warp item and rune choices if left unchecked.

Champions

Because today’s update touches *checks notes* almost every single champion in League, we’re going to spare our mental and won’t write context for every single champ. That being said, in addition to the durability update, we have a few unrelated QoL follow-ups for Swain's recent rework. So skip ahead for your favorite bird tactician.

Fixed a few SFX bugs with Taliyah's Worked Ground interactions

Behavioral & Competitive Systems

Honor Recall

(Re)calling all honorable players! A new Honor recall VFX is now available for you to show off in-game and will automatically apply to the following:

Players who are Honor Level 5
Players who are Honor Level 3 or above AND have been honored by one or more non-premade teammate in their last game
Players who are Honor Level 3 or above AND have been honored by two or more premade teammates in their last game

Challenger Recall

The Challenger recall animation has also been updated! If you're eligible for both, the Challenger recall VFX will take precedence over the Honor recall.

Friend Request Blocking

You can now block players in the Friend Request popup. (Yes, no more unwanted spam requests!)

High MMR Duo Restrictions (KR & NA Only)

In patch 12.10, we'll be testing a change to duo queue around Apex Tiers for KR and NA regions only.

Having a premade duo is a slight advantage, and while current Apex Tier players aren’t able to duo with anyone, the system only works off current rank. With this change, we’re tightening up the Apex Tier restriction to apply to MMR as well.

The goal of this is to prevent climbing smurfs from being able to duo queue into Apex tier. That said, decayed Apex Tier players and the highest skilled Diamond I players may also be impacted by this change.

Up until now these players could duo and reliably get into Apex Tier games, which isn't fair when the people they're playing against can't duo. If this change works as expected, we'll evaluate shipping it to the rest of the world with plans to re-evaluate before Season Start.
