League of Legends patch 12.11 notes: Bel’Veth release, Taliyah & Olaf nerfs after durability update

League of Legends patch 12.11 is fixing the game after the durability update. Some champions are finding more success than intended like Taliyah and Olaf. Bursty picks are suffering, so buffs are due in that regard. Oh, and Bel’Veth is coming. Here are the full patch notes.

The durability updatedefinitely did a number on League of Legends, and while overall reception is positive, there’s still some cleaning up to do in the aftermath. That’s where LoL patch 12.11 comes into play.

Riot made changes for nearly 30 champions and a number of systems to try and find a middle ground following the drastic patch.

Rest assured though, they aren’t reversing the changes: “We’re being careful to not undo what we just did and are doing our best to maintain item choice, champion feel and identity, role balance,”developer Matt ‘Phroxzon’ Leung-Harrison said.

That’s not all coming in LoL patch 12.11. Ocean Song skins, including a Prestige edition one for Seraphine, are also launching. Plus, among the chaos,new void jungler Bel’Veth is due to be released.

What’s changing in LoL patch 12.11?

Bel’Veth releasing in LoL patch 12.11

Among all the chaos of the recent durability update, it kind of got lost that Bel’Veth, the new void jungler, is being released in LoL patch 12.11.

The 160th champion in League of Legends is the Void Empress, and boasts all the power that comes with a title that mighty. She has a ton of mobility, dashing around the Rift and dishing big damage out with her attacks.

you’re able to find out ’Veth, including her revealed kit, here.

Recently-reworked Olaf and Taliyah bracing for nerfs

While a number of champions found success following the durability update like Vayne and Kayle ⁠— both nerfed shortly after the patch’s release ⁠— there’s two other candidates who have seen success recently: Olaf and Taliyah.

The two champions got mid-scope updates inLoL patch 12.9, andhave since rocketed upthe tier lists. After avoiding changes in the previous update, Riot are catching up with nerfs for the two of them in LoL patch 12.11. This comes aftera hotfix nerf to Taliyah late last week too.

They aren’t the only ones. Champions with true damage or percent health damage in their kits are also being focused with nerfs like Master Yi, Swain, Gwen, Kayn, and Brand. In total, 13 champions will be nerfed, and more are expected in future updates.

Ryze given some love as win rate falls to 42%

For Ryze mains it’s been a bit of a depressing time in League of Legends. The mage has been floundering for seemingly years, forever doomed to be weak in casual play as big buffs make him a pro play powerhouse. However,with his win rate hovering around 42%, something has to be done.

Riot have floated changes for him in LoL patch 12.11 following the durability update. While his win rate has gone up to 42.52% after the patch, he’s still considered the worst mid laner in the game according to LoLalytics.

Buffs are also in the works for 13 other champions, including fighters like Irelia, Lee Sin, and Sylas, supports like Rakan, Taric, and Tahm Kench, and AD carries Aphelios and Caitlyn, who are all suffering following the durability update.

New Ocean Song skins coming in LoL patch 12.11

It’s not quite a pool party in Season 12, but get ready to be serenated by the Ocean Song. The new ocean-themed skins are coming to League of Legends patch 12.11, including a very elegant Seraphine Prestige version.

They’re here just in time for summer (in the Northern hemisphere) too, so it’s perfect for the weather outside.

Each of the skins (except the Seraphine Prestige) will come with eight chromas. Instead the special skin for the Songstress will come with an exclusive Summoner Icon.

Ocean Song Ashe

“As the CEO of the hot clothing company Frel, Ashe is dead tired after spending a year heads-down in work with little sun at her Northern headquarters. The Ocean Song Festival sounds like the perfect place for her to warm up, disappear into a crowd, and lose herself to some fabulous music.”

Ocean Song Nidalee

“The Ocean Song Festival is lucky to have Nidalee as its performer stylist, with her fashion guides selling almost as much as her albums, but in reality she’s here as a featured part of Yone’s show. She was the first person he showed his lyrics to, and it’s her honor to lend them her voice.”

Ocean Song Seraphine

“After taking a break to recharge her creative spirit, Seraphine is back! Rather than dive straight into a solo tour, she’s drawing on the relaxed energy of the Ocean Song Festival to ease herself back into singing. With no setlist, she’s going to listen to her audience and let the musical current take her.”

Ocean Song Seraphine Prestige Edition

“Never content to swim with the tide, Seraphine’s making waves with her new sea breeze look. Whether it’s on the runway or the concert stage, beach season’s open, and the water’s warm.”

Ocean Song Yone

“Yone is nervous. As a DJ he’s calm, focused, and improvisational, but Ocean Song is his first concert as a DJ and lyricist. After finding his secret stash of lyrics, his friend Nidalee volunteered to belt them out herself when he refused. He may not be ready to sing, but they’ll still hear his voice.”

Ocean Song Zeri

“An up and coming Water Tamer from the Southwest, Zeri is diving into the Ocean Song Festival headfirst. This is her first time handling a stage on her own, and she may have gone a little overboard with her showstopper plans in order to give herself a calling card. Everybody loves a little overstimulation, right?”
