From a Tweet from Riot designer Riot Phlox, we get another sneak peek at what's waiting for League of Legends players when Patch 12.4 rolls out.

Very recently, the fighter items got a quick overhaul to force them to pick between being beefier or dealing damage, and making it harder to choose both. League of Legends Patch 12.4 seems like a small patch overall, with a handful of champion buffs and nerfs, and seemingly a solution to the frustrating Janna top.

  • Support item on solo lanes
    • Minion Farming Penalty: 4 minions per minute >>> 2 per minute until 5 minutes, 4 per minute for the rest of the game
    • Farming penalty is more severe early
    • CS Bounties now adjust based on the number of income items on each team
    • Objective Bounty gold leads are halved when you have two or more support items on a team
    • Objective Bounty Linger: 15s >>> 5s

The buffs seem to be centered around marksmen, with a little bonus on the Lucian Nami combo. Illaoi and some other bruisers are also receiving a pick-me-up, perhaps because they got hit by the recent fighter item changes.

The newest champion Zeri is also getting a nerf in League of Legends Patch 12.4, making this the second consecutive patch wherein she receives a nerf. Veigar is also getting a nerf, maybe to balance him after a small buff he received previously.

The support item and Objective Bounty changes are geared towards discouraging the current Janna (or any other enchanter) playing op lane with smite and essentially just roaming for the whole game.

Patch 12.4 is expected to hit live servers next week, and we will have more detailed Patch Notes before then.
