The upcoming League of Legends Patch 12.18 preview reveals significant changes to Udyr’s kit, along with Kalista, Hecarim and Lulu nerfs.
The World’s patch ensures a consistent meta for pro-play and brings nerfs for several meta ADC champions, and introduces adjustments for Maokai. Riot developer Matt Leung-Harrison AKA Phroxzon gave fans a sneak peek at the upcoming changes in League’s Patch 12.18 through a short preview. The League dev also stated that they are “relatively confident that the game will be in a good spot post the (Patch 12.18) changes.”
League of Legends Patch 12.18 Preview Champion Buffs
Right ahead of the annual League event, Riot’s developer team has made some buffs to Lee Sin’s HP Growth and W, in a strong attempt to push players to use the Jungler more in pro matches.

Not long after Udyr’s rework in Patch 12.16, Riot are looking to adjust the champ’s kit even further to increase his effectiveness on bruiser builds. However, fans should note that Udyr will remain disabled for the entirety of Worlds 2022, meaning no player can pick the tanky jungle champion. Also, the recent adjustments aim to decrease the champion’s potential as a tank.
