League of Legends Patch 12.20: Full notes and updates

Jungle mains, rejoice.

The wolves are howling, the full moon is rising, and the Black Mist is approaching once again, transforming the familiar face of Runeterra into a damned and ghost-ridden land that no longer shows mercy toward its inhabitants.

With the Harrowing once again knocking on our doors, Riot Games is launching Patch 12.20 with stunningly beautiful Bewitching skins and balance changes focused on preparing League of Legends for the upcoming preseason patch that’s been on the PBE servers since Oct. 4.

With Patch 12.20. Sett, Aatrox, and Maokai are receiving nerfs primarily due to their dominant performance at Worlds 2022. On the other hand, carry junglers like Elise, Evelynn, and Wukong will receive handsome buffs that should help them to keep their head above water in this jungle tank-heavy meta. Other than that, Kennen and Rammus are finally getting a couple of quality-of-life changes so that they can keep up with modern champions like Nilah and Akshan.

Without further ado, here’s the list of changes going live with League Patch 12.20.
