Description of patch 12.5b that appeared on LoL servers. 4 characters with nerfs, 5 with buffs, including Master Yi

League of Legends

Who will be affected by the 12.5b patches? Big Zeri nerfs and Master Yi buffs.


The pause between update 12.6 and the preceding update 12.5 was supposed to last twice as long as the standard one. Patch 12.6 will not be released until March 30, and the developers must release minor changes in Update 12.5b to keep the gameplay in balance.

Players have already found out which heroes will receive the fixes, and now that the changes have hit the servers, you can take a look at their detailed description.
