Here’s where we’ll explain everything that’s changing and being added with League of Legends Patch 12.10.
LoL Patch 12.10 has now arrived on live servers after the usual two-week testing period. A look at its patch notes reveals its release date alongside the addition of new skins from the High Noon line, champion durability changes, and more.
Riot Games pushes out regular updates for its popular MOBA, which is why its patch schedule is necessary to keep track of when the next one’s due out. The LoL Patch 12.10 release date was set for Wednesday, May 25, which is when the changes that made it through testing hit live servers.
League of Legends Patch 12.10
On the PBE, players could try out the following 5 new skins: High Noon Samira (1350 RP), High Noon Sion (1350 RP), High Noon Tahm Kench (1350 RP), High Noon Twitch (1350 RP), and High Noon Viktor (1350 RP).
The LoL 12.10 maintenance schedule is always revealed closer to launch. Usually, it takes about 3 hours for patches to be deployed across different regions. Checking our League of Legends Server Status article is a good way to keep yourself informed on server downtime caused by patch deployment or other reasons.
Nami and Twisted Fate are both in line to receive VFX updates this patch, the goals being those of bringing spell effects in line with modern League standards alongside improving gameplay clarity.
League of Legends’ patch 12.10 also brings with it the champion durability changes the developer discussed earlier in May.
Champions will have their base health, armor, magic resist, and health per level increased in an attempt to give players more time to counter their opponents’ moves. The current consensus is that the MOBA has too much damage in its matches, which is what these changes aim to address.
League 12.10’s first set of item changes are also here, as spotted by Surrender by 20, bringing nerfs to the Morellonomicon, Thornmail, and more.
