A full preview of League of Legends Patch 12.15 that buffs the ninjas has been shared by Matt “Riot Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison.

Riot Phroxzon offered some context behind these changes:

“Notable: We're happy with where Yi has ended up across skill brackets, but he's too strong across the board.

Taliyah, targeted at E uptime

Most buffs are targeted at repeatability over burst. Other changes are small swings as we attempt to stabilize for playoffs and worlds.”

The bug that causes Qiyana to deal atrocious amounts of damage with First Strike will also be fixed, according to him: “Qiyana bug is being fixed, forgot to mention, so we're going a little lighter with her nerf. We still think that she needs a specific nerf as the first strike nerf is on the lighter side and her Electrocute is also pretty performant.”

When asked what the justification behind Rammus' buff was, this was his response: “Rammus went significantly down from 12.14; he was performant in regular play on the previous patch, but struggles to take objectives on the new patch. Instead of buffing that however, we wanted to put power in his gank assist instead as that feels closer to his intended niche.”
