Patch 12.23b is coming very soon in League of Legends as some last changes are being implemented for the end of the year.

League of Legends is going through quite the transition for the preseason. Patch 12.22 kicked it off with wholesale changes to the jungle and items. We saw the introduction of several other things, like the new ping wheel and items.

Patch 12.22b came in later to fix some issues. That patch made Shaco the most bug-fixed champion in League of Legends. After that, Patch 12.23 hit League of Legends as more adjustments came into the fold. The most notable changes were the reworks to Zeri, Tahm Kench, Kassadin, and Dr. Mundo.

Other than that, there were the Ravenous Hydra changes and more jungle changes in the patch. Overall, several changes were brought about in the game in Patch 12.23. This brings us to the upcoming Patch 12.23b, which introduces more changes to systems and Udyr.

Here is what we know about the patch so far.

Release Date

League of Legends Patch 12.23b is expected to release on December 14th, 2022. That will be the day when the last patch of the year lands.

LoL Patch 12.23B Notes

B patches are designed to roll out changes mid-patch to fix the problems the last big patch has had. This is expected to be the last bunch of changes until next year as the team goes on a break.

According to Riot Phroxzon, Patch 12.23B will be leaning more toward the nerf side to balance things out. Here are the changes slated to come in Patch 12.23B.

Patch 12.23b changes (coming out on Wednesday 14th).

We're opting to go more nerf heavy this patch to address some of the balance outliers. More on specifics tomorrow. Some champs are getting Riot special, but those that are, we think have viable alternatives that are balanced pic.twitter.com/sZQgo9mxkp

Champion Buffs

There is just one buff for Patch 12.23B, so there isn’t much to look forward to. Thus the only buff is being given to Lux.

Lux

Some more damage is being funneled into Lux.

  • E – Lucent Singularity

    • AP Ratio: 300/400/500 (+ 100% AP) >>> 300/400/500 (+ 120% AP).

Champion Nerfs

There are many champions nerfs coming to League of Legends in Patch 12.23B. It’s more nerfs for Mordekaiser Jungle and some more for other champions. Thus, here are the champions slated to receive some nerfs. Note that we do not have the specifics on all the changes yet.

    • Damage Amplification Per Stack: 4% + 5% per 100 bonus AD >>> 3% + 4% per 100 bonus AD.

System Nerfs

No system buffs this time around, as we are only getting nerfs. Ravenous Hydra is taking more of a ding, with Jak’sho, Mosstomper, and jungle gold also being on the list. Thus, the following aspects of the game are getting changed.

Epic Monster Damage Reduction changes

The epic monsters were reducing too much damage, so that is being toned down.

  • Epic Monster Damage Reduction: 30% >>> 20%.

Jak’Sho, The Protean

After the buff of Jak’Sho, The Protean, it feels like it has gotten a bit too strong. Hence, Riot is dampening it down a bit.

  • Combine Cost: 600 gold >>> 700 gold.
  • Cost: 3000 gold >>> 3100 gold.
  • Unique – Voidborne Resilience
    • Armor and MR per Second in Combat with Champions: 3 >>> 2.

Lord Dominik’s Regards

More damage is pumped in Lord Dominik’s while increasing the threshold of Health Difference to compensate for the bigger oomph.

    • Health Difference For Maximum Damage: 2000 Health >>> 2500 Health.

Mosstomper

The Mosstomper was giving a bit too much shield so that is being changed.

  • Shield Strength: 75 – 330 (levels 1-18) >>> 60 – 281 (levels 1-18).

Ravenous Hydra

The item is taking more hits as the preseason changes are far too strong to be undone in one patch.

  • Unique – Cleave
    • Damage (Melee/Ranged): 50%/25% total AD >>> 40%/20% total AD.
  • Unique – Carnivorous
    • Stacks Lost on Death: 50% >>> 60%.

A little bit of damage is funneled into Stormrazor to make it slightly better.
