Lucian Changes in LoL Patch 13.12

Lucian will also be getting some adjustments to his passive. He's been a very good pick thanks to the itemization changes, so Riot will nerf his passive a little.

• Activation Conditions: When Lucian is empowered by another ally, his next two basic attacks will deal bonus magic damage ⇒ When Lucian is healed or shielded by an ally, or when a nearby enemy champion is immobilized, his next two basic attacks will deal bonus magic damage.

System Buffs and Nerfs in LoL Patch 13.12

System Buffs

There are some items that just aren't performing how most want them to. Moonstone Renewer has felt pretty bad and Statikk Shiv is also pretty weak, so Riot is going to be buffing these items.

System Nerfs

Galeforce continues to be one of the best items in the game, hence why it's getting another nerf. There are some other systems like Red Buff and Overheal which will also see the nerf hammer this patch.

LoL Patch 13.12 Preview: New Mythic Shop Rotation Revealed

In this upcoming patch, Riot is going to release a set of new skins for the mythic shop. In Patch 13.10, the skins team wanted to release a 40 Mythic Essence chroma for High Noon Lucian, but the assets had not been prepared yet to be shipped, hence why the team decided to let the chroma cook for another month before releasing it to the public.

• Pick up the Cherry MX Wired Mechanical Keyboard so you can play League of Legends to the best of your ability.

With the chroma, we're also going to be getting a brand-new mythic skin line. While Ashen Knights were amazing and had some banger skins like Pyke and Shen, we're sick and tired of these skins and want something new and Riot is delivering.

In this patch we're going to get brand-new Crystalis Motus skins. These skins have a similar purple hue, but are far more elegant than the previous Ashen Knight skins. Leona is a great champion to kick off this skin line and we're excited to see all the other champions Riot will add into this skin line.

New Skins In Mythic Shop

With the new Mythic Shop Rotation, Riot will be adding four new prestige skins every two weeks instead of just two. To kick off this change Riot has made some pretty epic skin choices for the next two weeks.

• Prestige True Damage Qiyana
• Prestige Obsidian Dragon Sett
• Prestige Debonair Brand
• Prestige K/DA Akali
• Hextech Jarvan IV
• Hextech Sejuani
• Crystalis Motus Leona + Border + Icon
• Mythic Chroma Crystalis Motus Leona (Reclaimed) + Icon
• Crystalis Motus Leona Emote
• Mythic Chroma High Noon Lucian
• Prestige DRX Aatrox (NOTE: This skin will be leaving in Patch 13.13 on June 29)

ARAM Balance Changes In LoL Patch 13.12

LoL Patch 13.12 Skins: Shan Hai Scrolls Returns

In this League of Legends patch we are also going to be returning to the Shan Hai Scrolls universe with four brand-new skins. All four skins are for champions that Riot seems to forget on the usual, but the skins look amazing and work so well.

• Shan Hai Scrolls Kog'Maw
• Shan Hai Scrolls Tahm Kench

All four champions are creature champions in some way or shape and the theme of Shan Hai Scrolls works so well and just makes these champions so interesting. Overall, these are great skins to have and feel like they work well with their models.
