League of Legends patch 12.12 will be introducing an extensive number of champion updates to the MOBA, which will look to further iron out some of the inconsistencies that were introduced with the 12.10 durability updates.

Some of the biggest highlights of the patch are the nerfs that the latest void jungler Bel’Veth will be receiving across the entirety of her kit, along with the adjustments which are set to hit Shaco, Katarina, Soraka, and Yuumi.
