League of Legends Patch 12.23 is going to be around for a while, probably the longest patch of the year, hence why the balance team is going to add in a b-patch halfway through so everyone at Riot can enjoy their Christmas holidays.

LoL 12.23b Patch is filled with a multitude of nerfs, especially for champions that have dominated the meta for far too long. Some systems are also getting adjusted for the new year as well so we can hop right into the LoL ranked season come January 10, 2022.

Udyr is also going to be getting another adjustment to his kit. This isn't the first time Riot is doing this ever since they've introduced his VGU earlier this year. He's either super broken or just extremely weak, so the balance team continues to fine tune him to hopefully get him up to par.
