A lot of changes heading our way.

After the durability update in Patch 12.10, we all knew that Patch 12.11 would have many buffs and nerfs. Some of these changes, though? Damn... Riot really hates some champions, huh?

I bet you won't be surprised by the massive list of champion changes below. The durability update was bound to mess up the rift and that it has. Now, as always, Riot swoops in and fixes some of the champions that got hit hardest... or the least.

While we do think that the durability update was a great idea – I'm tired of getting one-shotted – looking at all these buffs and nerfs makes me think it'll be awhile before it'll work the way it should. Some champions are in dire need of some adjustments now (Master Yi, please delete yourself from the game, that's the only thing that will work).

LoL Patch 12.11 Buffs & Nerfs

Champion Buffs in LoL Patch 12.11

Many fan favorites can be seen here. Whether it's Irelia, Caitlyn or Rakan, every lane got great buffs. Personally, I'm most happy to see champs like Taric and Ryze on this list. Taric in particular was forgotten for the last 5+ years or something, while Ryze was at the bottom of the barrel for too long. Let's hope this buff will bring his win rate back up.

Champion Nerfs in LoL Patch 12.11

Senna players everywhere are crying right now. Too long has this champion been OP, more often being the ADC rather than the support. Also, nice to see champions like Wukong and Master Yi on this list, but let's be real... we all know they will still be OP, even after this patch. Riot is struggling too much with Yi... maybe just... delete him? Like they should delete Yuumi?

Champion Adjustments in LoL Patch 12.11

Imagine releasing a champion. That champion ends up being so OP that you have to nerf her to the pits of hell. Then, all of a sudden, you realize that you nerfed her too much because now nobody is playing her. That's Zeri's story. Let's see if this adjustment will help her at all. Shame, actually, she's such a cool champion.

Champion	Adjustments
Fizz	Mana Growth: 37 ⇒ 52 Health Growth: 112 ⇒ 106
Zeri	Q - Burst Fire Active Damage: 7-15 (+1.1-1.2 TAD) ⇒ 8-20 (+1.1-1.3 TAD) Passive charged AD: 90-200 (+80% AP) + 1-10% max. Health ⇒ 90-200 (+90% AP) (by lvl. 18) + 3-15% max. Health Passive charged attack slow: 18-50% for 1s ⇒ REMOVED W - Ultrashock Laser Cooldown: 13-9 ⇒ 12-9 AD ratio: 1.4 ⇒ 1.5 Slow: 30-70% ⇒ 30-50% NEW: If the W hits a wall it will critically strike champions and monsters E - Spark Surge Cooldown: 26-20 ⇒ 22-16 Cooldown reduction per hit: 1 ⇒ 0.5 (Cooldown reduction on crit: 3 ⇒ 1.5) R - Lightning Crash Cooldown: 120-70 ⇒ 100-70 MS per stack: 1.5% ⇒ 1% Stacks per champion hit by activated AoE: 4 ⇒ 8

System Buffs in LoL Patch 12.11

If you thought champions were the only thing that needed buffs/nerfs after the durability update, you're dead wrong. Items, runes and more were affected just as much, if not more after the update. Let's check out the good stuff first though: which items will get buffed?

System Nerfs in LoL Patch 12.11

Kraken Slayer nerfs are making all the ADC's cry right now. Have we not suffered enough, already? Guess we'll just have to come up with other items to abuse. There's bound to be one up top, right?

System Adjustments in LoL Patch 12.11

In true fashion of this article, systems will also be adjusted, not just champions. I know, at this point, you're probably tired of all of these numbers, so let's just get this last part over with.

System	Adjustments
Grievous Wounds	30/50% ⇒ 25/40% reduced healing (items and champions)
Thornmail	Thorns Damage: 10 (+10% bonus Armor) ⇒ 10 (+20% bonus Armor)
Bramble Vest	Thorns Damage: 3 ⇒ 4

And there you have it, all the buffs and nerfs for both champions and systems. It's a lot, I know, but keep in mind that there will be another patch soon. After Patch 12.11, I'm sure that Patch 12.12 will have even more changes in store for us. Should Riot buff Gwen once more, though, I will riot in front of the Riot building (heh). Enough is enough, the nerf is deserved (I'm so funny).
