What’s coming in LoL patch 12.4?

Renata Glasc arrives

The second new champion of League of Legends Season 12 is finally here:Renata Glasc, the Chem Baroness. Lore-wise, Renata is a member of the aristocracy in the polluted city of Zaun, running Glasc Industries with the intention of “redefining beauty through state-of-the-art technology” while bringing Chemtech to the masses. In-game, she’s a support whose kit is all about buffing up her enemies with her array of Chemtech gadgetry. With a ‘mind-control’ element to her ultimate turning enemies against themselves and a pseudo-revive on her W, she’s an enchanter unlike any other. Renata Glasc is fully playable now that the League of Legends patch 12.4 is out. https://twitter.com/LeagueOfLegends/status/1488603064676151299

Zeri, smite top nerfs headline balance changes

There are two big targets hit with nerfs in LoL patch 12.4: newly-released champion Zeri andthe Smite top meta. While there’s over a dozen balance changes, these are the big ones. Zeri had almost every part of her kit changed in an attempt to shift her away from less traditional AP builds into a more crit-based marksman build. As for the enchanter top lane strategy with Smite,Riot nerfed that two-foldwith big changes to Objective Bounties and support items. Objective Bounties are now halved if teams have multiple support items, while the penalty for farming with a support item early has been increased. Other meta picks like Qiyana saw some changes, while less flavor of the month options like Kalista has been buffed. However, planned Master Yi changes have been delayed as Riot reconsiders their approach.

Firelight, Shockblade skins

The most notable skin release coming in 12.4 is the return of “Firelight Ekko,” the long-awaited Arcane crossover skin that was sent back to developers for tweaks in late 2021 during the height of the show’s popularity.Alongside Ekko’s new look, Kassadin, Shen, and Qiyana will also be getting shocking new versions of the “Shockblade” skin line, to match Zed’s iconic variants.Here’s all the skins in this update:

Dexerto can confirm each of the new skins coming in 12.4 will also include eight different chroma styles. Renata will also have several chroma designs too.
