League of Legends patch 12.2 notes: Zeri debut, Yasuo & Yone buffs, more

League of Legends patch 12.2 is here. This time around the LoL devs are reworking Tahm Kench and Janna, buffing the infamous wind brothers Yasuo and Yone, adding new champion Zeri to the mix, and plenty more.

League of Legends Season 12 rolls on, with more than a dozen champions getting buffs, nerfs, and changes, and an entirely new character making her debut.The wind brothers ⁠— Yasuo and Yone ⁠— are now getting some much-needed buffs, after Immortal Shieldbow’s nerfs in LoL patch 12.1 hit them harder than Riot expected. According to developer Phlox, they “suffered substantially” from the changes, slipping to a shock 47.4% win rate.On top of that, Riot is releasing sixteen new skins.And finally, the Tahm Kench and Janna mini-reworks are finally set to arrive. Here’s all the details on League of Legends patch 12.2, coming in the next two weeks.

What’s coming in LoL patch 12.2?

Zeri debuts in 12.2

The next League of Legends champion, Zeri, has finally been revealed. A new AD carry from Runetera’s polluted twin undercity Zaun, she’s jumping from Arcane onto Summoner’s Rift. Born into a working-class family in the undercity, she worked alone in resistance against the chem-barons of Zaun who were destroying her homeland. Her electric charm wasn’t enough though, although her efforts inspired those suffering under the chem-barons to rebuild their lives.

With help from Entresol neighbors, she was able to harness and channel her electric energy into a rifle powered by emotions, and a jacket to control her powers.

Janna rework finally arrives

Riot Games have been hard at work on a Janna rework, and are attempting to push the enchanter support away from her dominant poke builds by handing her bonus utility in her other spells and more power in her Q ability.Her auto attacks and W are taking a hit early, with her basic attack range is being cut from 550 to 500. Janna will no longer gain bonus magic damage based on her movement speed too. To compensate for these changes, she’s getting a slight AD and move speed buff.Her W’s range was adjusted with its slow duration increased and damage raised, but at the cost of a significantly longer cooldown so it can’t be spammed in lane.

Rose, Firecracker, Porcelain skins

Riot Games are releasing an incredible amount of skins this update, including two new Crystal Rose styles, two Withered Rose skins, five Firecracker variants, six Porcelain designs ⁠— including one Prestige version ⁠— and more.Xayah will also be getting her first Prestige skin, an upgraded style for the “Brave Phoenix” skin that the Vastayan Rebel was given halfway through the last season.Here’s all the skins in this update:

Bugfixes and QoL Changes

Crystal Rose Janna

The desire for peace brought about more than just a yearly festival. Born from this universal wish was Janna, a spirit whose magic hangs like a wreath over the night. Though she’s regarded by most as a legend, guests sometimes say they see a beautiful woman float by. Maybe it’s a trick of the crystal rose’s light…

Firecracker

Firecracker Sett

Best known for his brawling, few realize that Sett is also an accomplished Lion Dancer. It’s a surprisingly similar skillset; performing is all about good footwork, being fierce, and knowing how to wow the crowd– and who does that better than the Boss himself?

Porcelain Ezreal

After accidentally unleashing an ancient evil sorceress while doing research in the university archive, Ezreal narrowly escaped certain death when Lux and the spirit of the Tiger Relic stepped in to save him. Though he is new to the world of magic, Ezreal has joined the Protectors– determined to help solve the problem he (inadvertently) caused.

Porcelain Lux Prestige Edition

A leader bends, but never breaks. In the Protectors’ pursuit of ancient evil, Lux has navigated her team over obstacles that even the archeologist– in all his unbridled confidence– thought insurmountable. Lux’s power, once a dim light in a darkened world, now shines brightly. And her ragtag group of fragile personalities, the Protectors? With her support, deserving of their title.

Brave Phoenix Xayah Prestige Edition

Her heart unwavering, Xayah carries the fenghuang’s blessing with her across the once peaceful lands. She makes quick work of those who would lay waste to the relics of the past, her magic mirroring their beauty in a harmonious dance. If they wield their power to honor their ancestors, Xayah is confident that the forces of good will prevail.
