League of Legends Patch 12.4 is almost here. This terrible top-lane meta will be finally crushed by some nerfs to the enchanter items within the solo lanes. But which champions will get nerfed with it? Nami? Sona? Janna?

We’re going to go over all the prospective changes in the upcoming League of Legends patch and going over all the details that Riot has revealed thus far. What champion do you want? See buffed?

LoL Patch 12.4: System Changes

In Patch 12.3 Riot decided that the top lane meta needed to be redesigned. They made all fighter equipment obsolete and reduced their health and durability. This means fighters can hit harder and be punished for engaging in bad fights.

But that won’t be addressed in Patch 12.4. Riot will instead be confronted with a new enemy. Changes to enchanters Support items for the solo lane. They can move quickly and have excellent vision, which allows them to travel between the bot lane and mid lane, breaking the meta completely.

Riot will make changes to the bot lane that will likely force enchanters out of their lane.. This is especially true when Renata Glasc, a champion, is released very soon.

Sololane Support Item

  • Minion Farming Penalty: 4 minions per minute >>> 2 per minute until 5m, 4 per minute rest of game
  • The Farming Penalty is harsher early
  • CS Bounties now adjust based the income items of each team
  • Two or more Objective Bounty Gold leads reduce by half when there are support items for a team
  • Objective Bounty Linger: 15s >>> 5s

LoL Patch 12.4 Champion Nerfs

Master Yi is getting nerfed? Why? Other champions like Vayne, Kayn and Hecarim aren’t being nerfed though? Master Yi is not the only champion that seems more intrusive than Master Yi in solo queue. Let’s see what Riot does with the champ though… perhaps delete him completely from the game?
