League of Legends 12.18 official patch notes: Maokai and Udyr adjustments, Hecarim nerfs

on
League of Legends patch 12.18 will be dropping soon, and the upcoming update will be introducing the last set of changes which will have the 2022 Worlds Championship in focus.
12.18 is looking to focus on ‘tuning down some over-performing picks’ mentioned by Riot Games when looking at champs such as Kalista and Lulu.
Riot Games will also look to buff under-the-radar champions that have been underutilized recent.
The patch will not exactly be a big one, only a few champions will be affected this time around as Riot Games looks to balance the competitive meta ahead of the international event.
League of Legends fans looking for a detailed description of the patch can look up Riot’s official website.
However, for a brief overview, here are all the major highlights.
