What New To Expect?
Changes in Maokai
Since the League of Legends reworks, Maokai has been out of the top space and jungle for years. The players generally preferred Twisted Treant. The 12.17 patch was expected to change this tendency. But, that patch has been unable to hit the bullseye.
In fact, the play rate of Twisted Trent is up to 40% in all Maokai games. In fact, this rate is higher than any of its previous records. On the other hand, the jungle is behind at 20% as against 37%. It is unclear as to what changes are to come in this patch. But we know that some more changes are on the way. There are also some sideways adjustments in Udyr. There is an attempt to change his build.
More Jungle Changes
Apart from the Udyr and Moakai changes, some more jungle changes are on their way. Lee Sin has become an indispensable part of the Worlds. In fact, with some Blind Monk buffs, Riot is trying to ensure the prominence of Lee in the game. On the other hand, we have seen the dominance of Hecarim, Kayn, and Nocturne on all levels. The new League of Legends patch 12.18 has also plans for nerfs.
Ashe, Kalista, Miss Fortune changes
Riot has not fixed their sight only on the jungle. In fact, AD carry has also gained much of their attention recently. The upcoming patch will not target Zeri and Sivir. Rather they have aimed at Ashe, Kalista and Miss Fortune.
However, the only buffs are coming for Ashe. The buffs are marksman specific. On the other hand, Miss Fortune and Kalista are facing nerfs.
