League of Legends patch 15.12 champion nerfs and buffs leaked

While League of Legends ^[1] has been going strong for years now, a major reason for this longevity is the fact that Riot Games continues to tweak certain things to ensure the game is fair and balanced. Champion buffs and nerfs are the biggest changes, and patch 15.12 will have them too.

A preview for League of Legends patch 15.12 was leaked, showcasing which champions will be getting buffed, nerfed, and adjusted. While specific details aren’t out yet, this should help players get an idea of what to expect from the upcoming patch.

So, without further ado, here are the champion buffs and nerfs coming to League of Legends patch 15.12.

League of Legends patch 15.12 champion buffs

Below are the champions who will see slight ability buffs in League of Legends patch 15.12:

• Aatrox
• Aphelios
• Aurora
• Bard
• Garen
• Jax
• LeBlanc
• Lee Sin
• Mordekaiser
• Nidalee
• Samira
• Twisted Fate
• Yasuo

While it’s unknown what exactly the changes will be, players can expect the Aurora buffs to be more mid-focused. The two champions that players don’t want to see get buffed at all are Samira and Yasuo, thanks to their domination in the lower ranks, but it seems Riot Games has other plans.

• Azir
• Gwen
• Kalista
• Neeko
• Rumble
• Senna

Yorick had recently gone through an entire rework, while Gwen had received major nerfs that made her unviable to properly jungle. These two champions will get further nerfed, which some players may find odd.
