TFT 12.12 Patch Notes
Riot Games: “We’re here with another set of balance changes, several of which are continued follow-ups to the 12.10 Durability Update. Certain heals and shields are getting further adjustments, while select burst and engage mechanics will receive the little extra ‘oomph’ that they needed. Champion pets can have a little durability, too. This patch also brings back the Essence Emporium for a limited time. The Mythic Shop is also rotating for the first time ever, introducing Ashen Knight Pantheon and more. And oh, was that a chill in the air? The Snow Moon must be rising.
Champions
Amumu
- Q mana cost decreased, now increases with rank. R base damage increased.
- Amumu support has all but disappeared after the heavy nerfs to his mana costs last season. We’re reverting those and giving his ult more early power to help him find some friends in bot lane again.
- Q – Bandage Toss
- Mana Cost :: 70 >>> 30/35/40/45/50
- R – Curse of the Sad Mummy
- Damage :: 150/250/350 (+80% AP) >>> 200/300/400 (+80% AP)
Annie
- Q AP ratio increased. Tibbers base health, armor, and MR increased.
- Annie’s burst builds have fallen off since the Durability Update, especially at higher levels of play. We’re making her combos a little more fire and giving Tibbers his own CDU (Cuddly Durability Update).
- Q – Disintegrate
- Damage :: 80/115/150/185/220 (+75% AP) >>> 80/115/150/185/220 (+80% AP
- R – Summon: Tibbers
- Tibbers – Base Health :: 1200/2100/3000 >>> 1300/2200/3100
- Tibbers – Base Armor & Magic Resistance :: 30/50/70 >>> 30/60/90
Bel’Veth
- Basic attack range increased; base health regen and growth decreased. Passive stack value increased early and now reaches maximum at level 13; large minions now grant 1 stack. E base damage decreased, life steal decreased late. R bonus attack range and explosion damage based on enemy’s missing health no longer increase with rank; Void Remora health decreased early and now increases with rank.
- The Empress of the Void is reigning with a bit too much terror in lower and average skill brackets. These nerfs should reduce her strength in lower levels of play to a more stable win rate across the board. A few visual updates have also been made to Bel’Veth’s true form based on player feedback!
- Base Stats
- Basic Attack Range :: 125 >>> 175
- Health Regeneration :: 8.5 >>> 6
- Health Regeneration Growth :: 0.85 >>> 0.6
- Health Regeneration at Level 18 :: 22.95 >>> 16.2
- Passive – Death in Lavender
- Bonus Attack Speed per <em>Lavender</em> Stack :: 0.25-1.25% (levels 1-18) >>> 0.28-1% (levels 1-13)
- [NEW] THE LAVENDER CS :: Bel’Veth now gains 1 <em>Lavender</em> stack per large minion
- E – Royal Maelstrom
- Minimum Damage per Hit :: 8/11/14/17/20 (+6% AD) >>> <strong>8/10/12/14/16</strong> (+6% AD)
- Life Steal :: 20/22/24/26/28% >>> 20/21.5/23/24.5/26%
- R – Endless Banquet
- Explosion Damage Based on Target’s Missing Health :: 25/30/35% >>> 25% at all ranks
- Bonus Attack Range :: 50/75/100 >>> 50 at all ranks
- Void Remora Health :: 70% >>> 50/60/70% of minion’s maximum health
Bugfixes
- Bel’Veth’s true form <strong>E – Royal Maelstrom</strong> animation has been tweaked at higher attack speeds
- Bel’Veth’s true form basic attack animation has been adjusted to swing slightly less at slower attack speeds
- Sheen will no longer proc if Bel’Veth attempts to cast <strong>Q – Void Surge</strong> in a direction that is on cooldown
- Bel’Veth’s <strong>Q – Void Surge</strong> no longer deals double the intended true damage from <strong>R – Endless Banquet</strong>’s passive
- Fixed a bug where, if she was already in her true form, Bel’Veth would lose her health bonus upon consuming <em>Void Coral</em>
- Fixed a bug where, if Bel’Veth’s Void Remora attacked an undead Sion, Void Coral would spawn when his passive expired
- Fixed a bug where Bel’Veth’s true form duration sometimes failed to properly refresh upon consuming Void Coral
- Fixed a bug where Bel’Veth’s basic attack SFX were sometimes audible to enemies through Fog of War
Blitzcrank
- Q base damage increased. R active base damage increased.
- Blitzcrank’s engage capabilities have gathered some rust since the Durability Update. We’re making his hooks hurt more so they feel as rewarding to land as they should.
- Q – Rocket Grab
- Damage :: 90/140/190/240/290 (+120% AP) >>> <strong>105/155/205/255/305</strong> (+120% AP)
- R – Static Field
- Detonation Damage :: 250/375/500 (+100% AP) >>> < strong>275/400/525</strong> (+100% AP
Dr. Mundo
- Passive health regen decreased. R increased base health decreased.
- Mundo’s malpractice was already doing well, but now that Grievous Wound is weaker, it’s time we check his medical license. We’re nerfing him overall by lowering his healing, but the larger chunk of health missing should make his fantasy really come alive when he injects his maximum dosage.
- Passive – Goes Where He Pleases
- Health Regeneration :: 1-2% maximum health (levels 1-18) >>> 0.8-1.6% maximum health (levels 1-18)
- R – Maximum Dosage
- Increased Base Health :: 10/15/20% missing health >>> 8/11.5/15% missing health
Fiora
Passive AD ratio decreased.
Since the Durability Update, Fiora has become extra punishing in Elite play where players who can consistently strike Vitals deal massive max health true damage. We’re toning her passive down as a result, which will also reduce her ult’s power.
Passive – Duelist’s Dance
Bonus True Damage :: 3% (+5.5% per 100 bonus AD) >>> 3% (+4.5% per 100 bonus AD) of target’s maximum health
Heimerdinger
- Q standard turret base health and damage increased. E cooldown decreased.
- Heimerdinger’s inventions have fallen short lately. Boosting his turrets’ health and firepower to match the Durability Update is sure to be a formula for success!
- Q – H-28G Evolution Turret
- Standard Turret – Health :: 150-575 (+5-40%) (levels 1-18) >>> <strong>175-700</strong> (+5-40%) (levels 1-18)
- Standard Turret – Magic Damage :: 6/9/12/15/18 (+35% AP) >>> <strong>7/11/15/19/23</strong> (+35% AP)
- E – CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade
- Cooldown :: 12 seconds >>> 11 seconds
Ivern
- Passive health and mana costs reduced. E base shield increased. Daisy base health, armor, and MR increased.
- The Durability Update wasn’t so friendly to our friend of the forest. These buffs should return some of his early gank power by a lot. Oh, and Daisy gets a base stat gift, too!
- Passive – Friend of the Forest
- Base Health Cost :: 23.5-6.5% (levels 1-18) >>> 20-3% (levels 1-18)
- Base Mana Cost :: 34.5-9% (levels 1-18) >>> 30-4.5% (levels 1-18)
- E – Triggerseed
- Shield :: 70/100/130/160/190 (+75% AP) >>> <strong>80/115/150/185/220</strong> (+75% AP)
- R – Daisy!
- Daisy – Health :: 1250/2500/3750 (+50% AP) >>> <strong>1300/2600/3900</strong> (+50% AP)
- Daisy – Armor & Magic Resistance :: 15/40/90 (+5% AP) >>> <strong>20/50/100</strong> (+5% AP)
Janna ++
- W bonus move speed and slow decreased. E shield decreased.
- Janna is still too strong across the board. Her biggest vulnerability should be when she gets caught, so we’re nerfing her <strike>wind</strike> speed and defensive spells to make her easier to punish.
- W – Zephyr
- Bonus Move Speed :: 6/7.5/9/10.5/12% (+2% per 100 AP) >>> <strong>6/7/8/9/10%</strong> (+2% per 100 AP)
- Slow :: 24/28/32/36/40% (+6% per 100 AP) >>> <strong>20/24/28/32/36%</strong> (+6% per 100 AP)
- E – Eye of the Storm
- Shield :: 75/100/125/150/175 (+60% AP) >>> 65/90/115/140/165 (+55% AP)
Jarvan IV
- Mana growth increased. Passive cooldown now decreases with levels.
- Jarvan IV wasn’t the hardest hit by the Durability update, but his sustained damage output hasn’t been left unscathed. We’re letting him get a few more rotations in now that bursting enemies has gotten much harder,
- Base Stats
- Mana Growth :: 40 >>> 55
- Mana at Level 18 :: 980 >>> 1235
- Passive – Martial Cadence
- Cooldown :: 6 seconds >>> 6/5/4/3 seconds (levels 1/6/11/16)
Katarina
- Passive AD ratio decreased. E base damage increased, AD ratio decreased. R attack speed ratio increased, on-hit effectiveness increased.
- Bruiser and tank builds shouldn’t work well on someone like Katarina, a hyper-mobile resetting assassin. We’re making some slight adjustments to discourage only those itemizations.
- Passive – Voracity
- Magic Damage Upon Retrieving Dagger – Bonus AD Ratio :: 75% >>> 65%
- E – Shunpo
- Damage :: 15/30/45/60/75 (+50% AD) (+25% AP) >>> <strong>20/35/50/65/80 (+40% AD)</strong> (+25% AP)
- R – Death Lotus
- Physical Damage per Dagger :: 16% (+12.8% per 1.0 total attack speed) bonus AD >>> 16% (+16% per 0.7 total attack speed) bonus AD
- On-Hit Effectiveness per Dagger :: 25/30/35% >>> 28/33/38%
Lucian
- Base AD decreased. Q base damage decreased late.
- Lucian’s been shining in Pro bot lanes since before MSI and has continued to do so, even after the Durability Update. We’re tapping down his strong early damage so the Sentinel of Light isn’t so blinding in lane.
- Base Stats
- Base AD :: 62 >>> 60
- Q – Piercing Light
- Damage :: 95/130/165/200/235 (+60/75/90/105/120% bonus AD) >>> <strong>95/125/155/185/215</strong> (+60/75/90/105/120% bonus AD)
Items
Night Harvester
- We’re adding some ability haste into Night Harvester’s build path to match its buff last patch.
- Build Path :: Hextech Alternator + Amplifying Tome + Blasting Wand + 865 gold >>> Hextech Alternator + Amplifying Tome + <strong>Fiendish Codex</strong> + 815 gold
Serpent’s Fang
- Serpent’s Fang was reducing shields by a lot more than intended thanks to a bug. We expect the fix will lead to a nontrivial nerf, so we’re calling it out here instead.
- VERY VENOMOUS – Serpent’s Fang no longer applies additional shield reduction beyond 50% based on enemy’s bonus heal and shield power
Shadowflame
- On the contrary, Shadowflame was <em>under</em>performing due to a different bug that mitigated its damage based on the very magic resistance it was supposed to ignore. This fix should actually result in a slight buff for the item.
- IGNORED AGAIN :: Shadowflame’s additional magic damage based on ignored MR is no longer mitigated by target’s MR
Runes
Predator
- We’re nerfing Predator’s early power as it tends to really hurt some lanes before enemies get a reasonable chance at counterplay, and compensating its late game to even things out.
- Maximum Bonus Move Speed :: 45% >>> 25-50% (levels 7-18)
- Damage :: 40-120 (levels 1-18) (+20% bonus AD) (+10% AP) >>> 20-180 (levels 1-18) (+25% bonus AD) (+15% AP)
- Cooldown :: 90-60 seconds (levels 1-18) >>> 120-60 seconds (levels 1-18)
Systems
Vision
Currently, if you dash or blink into a jungle monster or ward’s visible range, there’s a very brief delay before you gain vision of them. This can lead to some frustrating moments, so we’re changing that to be instantaneous. (On the other hand, losing vision of monsters and wards will continue to have a slight delay.)
NOW YOU SEE ME :: All jungle monsters and wards will now be visible instantly, even upon dashing or blinking into visible range
Essence Emporium
- The Essence Emporium returns from <strong>June 28 to July 12</strong>. Head to the store to use Blue Essence to nab chromas, ward skins, emotes, icons, and more, including Emporium exclusives like the URFWick skin!
- IMPORTANT: After this run, the Essence Emporium is going on hiatus while we rebuild it. Right now, running the Emporium is so inefficient it causes delays and feature cuts in other projects like events and missions. Beyond making the Emporium more efficient to run, we’re also exploring navigation and usability improvements for <strong><em>when<em><strong> (not if it returns. Be sure to spend all your Blue Essence during this Emporium!
- To make up for this hiatus, we’re shifting the three Gemstone icon bundles into a chain of three missions (matchmade SR or ARAM). This will be <strong>free for all players</strong>, granting 10 Mythic Essence each for a total of 30.
Mythic Content
Mythic Chromas
- We’re adding a new type of content to the Mythic Shop: Mythic Chromas, available for 40 Mythic Essence! The first Mythic Chroma is for Final Boss Veigar, available during patches 12.12 through 12.13.
- [Mythic Chromas update a skin’s VFX in addition to its model. They’re launching for Legendary skins as well as Mythic skins like the Ashen Knights. (Ashen Knight Pyke and Ashen Knight Pantheon’s Emberwoken chromas will receive updated VFX in patch 12.18.)
Mythic Shop Rotation
- The Mythic Shop is rotating for the first time and we’re settling into the normal rotation cadence:
- OUT :: Ashen Knight Pyke, his Emberwoken chroma bundle, and his emote are leaving the Mythic Shop
- IN :: Ashen Knight Pantheon, his Emberwoken chroma bundle, and his emote will be available during patches 12.12 through 12.17
