It's patch time! This is patch-ception, a patch within a patch as is usual with these b-patches. So, what is Riot going to fix up before the whole company goes on one long holiday leaving players to mald over the state of the 2023 preseason?

Well, there are quite a lot of nerfs in the LoL 12.23b, so be prepared for some of the more annoying picks to be less prevalent, but will these nerfs truly impact the meta in the coming weeks? Let's go over all the patch changes for the LoL 12.23b Patch.

LoL Patch 12.23b | All Champion Adjustments

Lux Buffs and Udyr Adjustments

Lux is the only champion who will be receiving buffs in the upcoming League of Legends b-patch. She has around a 50% win rate which has some fans scratching their heads. Hopefully it isn't a buff to her ultimate which already has a short enough cooldown.

Now we get to the nerf list which is going to be the main focus of this League of Legends patch. Riot is going to be nerfing quite a few champions and if we are honest, some of them should have been nerfed ages ago.

Champion	Changes in LoL Patch 12.23b
Zed	Razor Shuriken (Q) Base Physical Damage: 80/115/150/185/220 ⇒ 70/105/140/175/210 Shadow Slash (E) Cooldown: 5/4.5/4/3.5/3 seconds ⇒ 5/4.75/4.5/4.25/4 seconds Base Physical Damage: 70/90/110/130/150 ⇒ 65/85/105/125/145

Lillia	Dream-Laden Bough (P) Percent Health Damage 6% ⇒ 5% Blooming Blows (Q) Magic Damage: 40/50/60/70/80 (+ 40% AP) ⇒ 35/45/55/65/75 (+ 40% AP) Outer Edge True Damage: 40/50/60/70/80 (+ 40% AP) ⇒ 35/45/55/65/75 (+ 40% AP)
Hecarim	Rampage (Q) Percent Bonus Damage per Stack 4% (+5% per 100 bonus AD) ⇒ 3% (+ 4% per 100 bonus AD)
Janna	Tailwind (P) Bonus Move Speed 8% ⇒ 6% Howling Gale (Q) Bonus AD: 10/17.5/25/32.5/40 (+10% AP) ⇒ 10/15/20/25/30 (+10% AP)
Dr. Mundo	Base Stats Health Regeneration Growth: 0.75 ⇒ 0.55 Goes Where He Pleases (P) Health Loss: 3% of Current Health ⇒ 4% of Current Health Additional Maximum Health Regeneration: 0.4 - 2.5 ⇒ 0.4 - 2.3 Infected Bonesaw (Q) 60 at all ranks ⇒ 50/60/70/80/90 Blunt Force Trauma (E) 20/30/40/50/60 ⇒ 10/25/40/55/70 Maximum Dosage (R) 110 seconds ⇒ 120 seconds

Hecarim, Zed and Rammus have been some of the best champions in the entire game. Zed sits at a 42% ban rate in Plat and above currently, which should tell you the whole story of how awful this champion is to play against.

Ever since Riot made some adjustments to Rammus he's been a great pick in the jungle on all levels, but Riot feel he's a little too strong so they're going to nerf this jungler as well in the b-patch.
