Early description of patch 12.5 in LoL. Big Seraphine buffs and Master Yi’s and Ahri’s nerfs

Several characters and Hullbreaker changes in update 12.5 in LoL.

A week before the next update to League of Legends, developers reveal to the community some information about the planned changes to the balance. As Riot Phlox explains, in connection with this year’s President’s Day, which ends on February 21, LoL will receive a slightly smaller update than normal. Despite this, a decision was made to strengthen 3 characters and weaken 4.

Interestingly, Seraphine was taken care of to a greater extent, when it was found that she is too weak and needed her “W” and “E” buffs. Additionally, Master Yi has also been dealt with and he will receive new effects and nerfs on his “Q” “E” and “R”.
