League of Legends patch 12.15 (August 9) notes: Buffs to Energy champion and Rammus, Sivir nerfs, and more

League of Legends patch 12.15 is not going to be a big one, as Riot Games will be looking to implement minor changes to the game and avoid shaking up the champion meta all that much.

One of the biggest highlights will be the quality-of-life updates that will be making their way to the Energy champions. Hence, picks like Akali, Zed, Kennen, Lee Sin, and Shen will be on the receiving end of quite a few tweaks.

Moreover, Rammus ultimate buffs will also be on the cards along with nerfs to Sivir, Qiyana, Taliyah, Master YI, and Gwen. League of Legends fans looking for a detailed description of the patch can look up Riot’s official website.

However, for a brief overview, here are all the major highlights.
