League of Legends patch 12.6 will be looking to introduce a fair bit of balance updates to the MOBA and introduce a mini-rework to Rengar to make him a more viable pick in the Season 12 meta.Apart from the Rengar updates, other highlights of the patch include the nerfs coming to Hecarim and Trundameere, as Riot Games look to scale them down a bit.However, picks like Darius, Jax, Azir, and Nidalee will be in for some much-required quality-of-life updates to make them more viable in pro play and standard matchmaking.Phlox@RiotPhloxHey all, new Rengar changes are coming to PBE today.
