League of Legends patch 12.3 pre-notes: Massive Twisted Fate and Akshan nerfs, item adjustments, and more

League of Legends patch 12.3 will be looking to introduce extensive balance updates next week, with changes hiting multiple champions as well as items.

This will be one of the biggest balance patches of the season, as Riot looks to bring drastic shifts in the current meta, and make light-fighters much less durable in League of Legends.

In a recent tweet, Riot Phlox opened up about some of the tentative changes that the League of Legends developers have planned for the next update. While, for now, they are set to bring in these changes to the MOBA, there might be tweaks to them as the official patch day draws closer.

Ahri’s mini-rework will be one of the biggest highlights of this patch, along with the nerfs to Zeri, Akshan, Corki, and Twisted Fate.
