League of Legends patch 12.7 pre-notes: All expected champion changes for the upcoming update

League of Legends patch 12.7 is going to be a rather big one. Riot Games will be looking to introduce a ton of changes to the existing champion meta ahead of the Mid-Season Invitational.

The jungle will see an extensive number of updates next week when the patch officially drops, with buffs for Wukong and Neeko as well as nerfs to Lee Sin.

Zeri will once again see a lot of nerfs hitting her kit, as the developers are looking to tone down her kit further in 12.7. Since her release this January, Zeri has been one of the strongest ADCs in the competitive League of Legends meta.

With hardly much counterplay against her, the update will aim to tone her down to the point where she is more manageable in the lane and during late-game team fights.

Additionally, some items will also be seeing changes in the upcoming League of Legends update. The Galeforce nerf will make certain champions like Aphelios and Jinx easier to lock down and take out in the game.
