League of Legends patch 12.7 official notes: Buffs to Pantheon and Wukong, massive Zeri nerfs, and more

League of Legends patch 12.7 will be introducing a significant number of updates to the meta, most of which will be targeting pro play, especially the Mid-Season Invitational, which is set to kick off next month.

Some of the biggest highlights of the patch will be the buffs that will be making their way to both Pantheon and Wukong, as they have been relatively underpowered in this meta. Additionally, items that have been quite potent and overpowered in season 12, like the Galeforce and Winter’s Approach, will be toned down significantly.

Zeri will also get a fresh batch of nerfs, as Riot Games looks to make her even less potent after the update hits.

League of Legends fans looking for a detailed description of patch 12.7 can look up Riot’s official website.

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