| League of Legends 12.15 patch notes |
League of Legends is a multiplayer online game, but it isn't an MMO in the sense that it focuses on gameplay rather than an open world to explore. The title is a MOBA that can be challenging to get into for newbies, especially since it has been on the market for a long time, but it does not require a strong PC to play.
We recently received a significant LoL patch 12.14 update which included various changes in the main game, including major buffs and nerfs for several champions, as well as interesting gameplay adjustments.
Now while Riot continues to tinker with all of the major changes in LoL patch 12.15, the live game is indeed moving forward. After dealing with more than 10 outliers in the previous update, the developer is now focusing on energy champions and a few champions who got powerful after the durability update.
Riot is concentrating on champions like Akali, Kennen, Lee Sin, Rammus, Lillia, and others in patch 12.15. Moreover, the main focus of the LoL patch 12.15 is Buffs for Energy champions.
So let's get to know what has been detailed so far with regards to the League of Legends 12.15 patch, including changes, champions buffs and nerfs, new releases, and more.

Lillia Jungle, Singed, and others are among the champions that will be buffed as part of the 12.15 update, and Master Yi, Qiyana, and others will be receiving nerfs. Moreover, Zed, Lee Sin, Akali, and others are among the champions that will receive changes to their kits with the LoL 12.15 patch.
League of Legends patch 12.15 Champions buffs and nerfs
As mentioned above, a series of champions receive buffs and nerfs with the upcoming patch, and this time we also have a few champions leading the list of champion adjustments.
Even though the 12.14 patch gave a satisfactory overhaul to the champions kit, players have high expectations with LoL patch 12.15.
Talking about the LoL Patch 12.15 buffs and nerfs, @RiotPhroxzon stated, "Kennen will be an outlier in that he won’t get a direct energy buff: “We like where Kennen’s energy costs are, so we’re buffing something else instead."
Further on the League of Legends 12.15 patch, he added, "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."
So, now let's have a look at the champion buffs that will be seen in LoL patch 12.15.

LoL Patch 12.15 Champion buffs:
The main goal of League of Legends patch 12.15 is to focus on the energy champions.
