When Is LoL 12.12b Coming Out?

League of Legends patch 12.12b is expected to release on Thursday, June 30, 2022. However, this patch is happening outside the normal release schedule, as Riot is squeezing in a quick fix update before their summer break. The regular patch schedule will resume with LoL patch 12.13, which is set to release on July 13, 2022.

LoL 12.12b Patch Notes: Katarina and Shaco Buffs

• Katarina and Shaco are getting buffed after being hit hard by item changes.
• The developers want to give every champion a bit more of a fighting chance. That's why Katarina's scaling is being improved across essentially all of her abilities, with both AD and AP. Shaco will get a similar improvement, though with more emphasis placed on AD.

LoL 12.12b Patch Notes: Bel'Veth Nerfs

• Bel'Veth is being nerfed again, targeting her roughly 55% win rate.
• Her scaling is the main target, with nerfs to attack damage and health growth, along with the life steal on her E and the bonus AD scaling on her ultimate. Her E's cooldown will also be increased in the late game.
• These changes will bring her down to Riot's target win rate of around 50%. Her E will deal less damage to monsters, and her ultimate's cooldown will increase earlier.
