Patch 12.11 in LoL. Who will get nerfs and who will get buffs? Earlier description of the upcoming update

What kind of fixes can be expected with the upcoming 12.11 LoL update?


There is no need to tell any player that patch 12.10 has mixed up a lot in the League of Legends meta. The update provided each champion with extra HP, armor, and magic resist, and as a result, making them harder to be killed. It was obvious for both fans and developers that such an extensive patch would mean that a large number of items or characters would require additional fixes.

Several heroes have already received changes to hotfixes that were released just a day after the release of Update 12.10. Now it’s time for a lot more tweaks with the upcoming 12.11 patch. What will be changed in it?
