LoL Patch 12.14 Notes: Balance Changes, Sivir and Zeri Nerfs

LoL Patch 12.14 patch notes are expected to go live on July 27, 2022. We'll keep updating this article as the official patch notes bring new changes. Riot Games is calling this patch "the last major balance set before we lock in for Worlds." Riot is targeting the jungle meta and the dominance of mage supports with Pantheon and Qiyana, while Zeri is getting nerfed once again. Let's take a look at everything we know about the new patch notes.

LoL Patch 12.14 Patch Notes

Riot overhauls healing with major mage nerfs

Riot Games promised players smaller updates since it beefed up every champion's durability, and it's aiming to deliver a healing revision with LoL Patch 12.14. When champions have more innate defenses, healing and shields become even stronger at extending fights. The new update will weaken every side of healing, from health potions to rune sustain to individual champions' healing and shields. Yuumi is known to be the main target.

Sivir and Zeri get nerfed once again

Developers are removing Zeri's bonus damage on right-click and turning it into an execute at a lower threshold, while banking the damage dealt on hit to compensate. The same can be said for Sivir, who's already faced a nerf since the LoL Patch 12.13 mid-patch update. Riot Games is working on nerfs to Ricochet. Gnar, Renata Glasc and Yuumi round out the other champions set to be nerfed.
