- Diana: her passive power has been increased relative to her ability power by raising this from 40% to 50%, also gaining increased damage against jungle monsters (250% to 300%), so she’s now one more champion How strong in the jungle.
- Gangplank: After the Claws of the Immortal rune was nerfed, Gangplank’s Parliament is not as powerful, so Riot Games has lowered the mana cost and cooldown of this ability, allowing the pirate to use it more often.
- Sona: Believe it or not, Sona was especially standing out in the higher level games, so Riot Games to contain her has decided to reduce her armor growth and increase the cooldown of her E (Celebrity Song).
- Rek’Sai: She’s always been a strong champion in the early game, but right now she found herself exceeding all of her players’ expectations, so the League of Legends dev team adjusted the base damage of her abilities when on the surface and increased the cooldown. in the last levels of some of these.

LoL Item Changes – Update 12.1
- Eclipse: Although it was previously considered one of the weakest items in the entire game, several changes were made to it in the preseason that increased its power greatly, perhaps too much, for this reason Riot Games increased the cooldown of its passive (Crescent Moon) .
- Immortal Archshield: one of the most hated items without a doubt, not only because of the incredible damage some champions do with this item, but also because of the ability to make them immortal. Riot Games lowered the item’s base attack damage and also nerfed its Life Shield.
- Force of Nature: Force of Nature had been an item that was difficult to equip normally, mainly because the benefits they provide can be better achieved with other items, but now, this item has better abilities to deal with enemies, especially those who focus their damage on magic attacks.
- End of the Ingenuity: Although many did not see it, this item was too good for champions focused on attack speed, especially those facing champions who based their damage on ability power, so Riot Games, wanting the matchups to be more ” righteous”, have reduced the magic resistance this item provides. System Tuning:
- Teleport: Right now, this spell isn’t what it used to do, but for us to truly understand what the changes to this item are, it’s a good idea to read the Riot Games official note. In short, it can’t now be used “freely” until after 14 minutes, since until then you can only teleport to turrets.
There are many changes that occurred with the arrival of the League of Legends update 12.1 and as you will see, many will have to adapt, we only hope that they are doing it in the best way.
