LoL 14.12 PBE Patch Notes! Aatrox, Naafiri Changes!

The League of Legends (LoL) 14.12 patch notes bring a set of changes players have been eagerly waiting for. This patch stands out especially for the significant adjustments made to champions like Aatrox and Naafiri. Also among this patch's notable topics are the changes planned for the ADC (Attack Damage Carry) role, which were later pulled back. The patch is expected to arrive very soon, first hitting the Oceanic servers before rolling out to the rest. Let's take a detailed look at the LoL 14.12 PBE patch notes:

LoL 14.12 PBE Patch Notes

Aatrox Changes

Aatrox has long been known in the LoL community as a strong champion. Patch 14.12 brings changes to some of Aatrox's base stats and abilities to help balance him in the game.

Base Stats:

• Health Regen Growth: Lowered from 1.0 to 0.5. This means Aatrox will be less sustainable early in the game.
• Armor Growth: Raised from 4.45 to 4.8. Aatrox's durability was increased slightly, making him more resilient when taking damage.

E: Umbral Dash:

• Heal: Lowered from 18-24% to 16%, and it now scales with 0.8% bonus HP as well. Also, the heal no longer increases to 20-36% during R. This change will reduce Aatrox's sustain and durability in fights.

R: World Ender:

• Bonus Heal Increase: Raised from 40-80% to 50-100%, changed to 25-45% while living. This will increase Aatrox's healing during his R ability.
• Bonus AD: Lowered from 20-45% to 20-40%. Aatrox's damage potential was reduced slightly, aiming to keep the game balanced.

Naafiri Changes

Naafiri has been buffed in this patch as a champion Riot wants to see more play, especially at lower MMR (Matchmaking Rating) levels. Riot Games strengthened some of her abilities to make her a more attractive pick for more players.

Passive

• Packmate's Base AD: Raised from 6-30 to 10-30. This change will boost Naafiri's early game power and make her a more appealing option.

Q: Darkin Daggers:

• Cooldown: Lowered from 11-7 seconds to 9-7 seconds. This will let Naafiri use her abilities more often and increase her attack frequency.

E: Eviscerate:

• Cooldown: Fixed at 8 seconds, down from 10-8 seconds. This will improve Naafiri's mobility and strengthen her impact in fights.

LoL 14.12 PBE Patch Notes: ADC Balance Changes

Another notable part of this patch is the balance changes to the ADC role. Riot had planned to bring comprehensive base stat buffs to ADCs in this patch. However, those changes were removed from the patch shortly after. This could mean the changes may come later, but there's no clear information on that for now. It remains to be seen why Riot pulled these changes back and when it will bring them up again.

LoL 14.12 Patch Notes Release Date

League of Legends patch 14.12 will go live for players on June 12, 2024. The patch will first arrive on the Oceanic servers and gradually roll out to the rest over the course of the day. This patch stands out for its changes to champions like Aatrox and Naafiri, as well as the withdrawal of the planned ADC role changes.

Patch 14.12 includes important steps toward balance in the League of Legends world. The changes made to champions like Aatrox and Naafiri will affect game dynamics and change how players experience these champions. Riot Games' future plans for the ADC changes are being watched with curiosity. This patch will lead players to reconsider their playstyles and develop new strategies.
