Patch Notes

Vel'Koz Patch 12.8 — Esports Pro Vel’Koz! | © Riot Games

Swain will get a mid-scope update. Jinx is getting more nerfect. Kai’Sa Mid might have seen its last moments before Patch 12.8. This patch is a great example of what we can say.

Let’s look at some of the most significant changes that will impact our games over the next weeks. This patch is called the Mid-Season Invitational Patch. It has many changes that are pro-game-focused, but they will still have an impact on how our games work, particularly for champions who have been OP for too long. Let’s see it!

AP Kai’Sa Adjustments

AP Kai’Sa’s strength has been impressive recently, particularly if players just want to spam her W far away. Riot has taken some AP power out of her W and is making sure that players don’t play around her passive. Let’s take a look at what Riot has done to Kai’Sa’s patch 12.8.

Ability	Changes for Patch 12.8
Second Skin (P).	Bonus Magic Damage upon consuming full Plasma Stacks: 15% (+2.5% per 100 AP) ⇒ 15% (+5% per 100 AP) of target’s missing health
Void Seeker (W)	Magic Damage 30/55/80/105/130 (+ 130% AD) (+70% AP) ⇒ 30/55/80/105/130 (+130% AD) (+45% AP)

Changes to Stopwatch in Patch 12.8

Stopwatch is one among the most useful items in the game Even if you have items such as Zhonya’s Hourglass or Guardian Angel, a stopwatch could prove to be a great tool for fighting. This won’t be possible in Patch 12.8 as Riot has made changes.
