LoL Patch 7.12 Release Date And Downtime
Patch 7.12 will release on Wednesday June 14 at 3am PT for NA, 5am BST for EUW and 3am CEST for EUNE. Keep an eye on the server maintenance page for the latest updates.
LoL Patch 7.12 Balance Changes
That out of the way, let’s start with the really important bit, shall we? What you need to remember is that stuff on the PBE like this is neither guaranteed to happen, nor to be in the next patch even if it does. This is what the folks over at Riot are thinking about doing. We’ve got the numbers on what’s changing, and a general guideline on which way each champion, item, mastery, summoner spell or rune is moving.

LoL Patch 7.12 New Skins
Second most important: cosmetics. Lovely, gorgeous cosmetics. Bit more of a visual medium this, so we’ve grabbed the best videos of each skin, as well as a lovely pic or two. Some are relatively simple changes, while others are total reworks of every part of the champion outside the gameplay numbers – new VO, new animations, new particles and the rest. It’s generally defined by how much they cost, so we’ve detailed that as well.
Dawnbringer Riven
1820 RP.Details from Riot.
Being a high-tier skin, she also has her own voice over:
And special interactions:
Here’s her (amazing) splash:
Nightbringer Yasuo
1820 RP.Details from Riot.
Being a high-tier skin, he also has his own voice over:
And special interactions:
Here’s his (very good) splash art:
Dawnbringer & Nightbringer Wards
As with most new skin releases, new wards are accompanying them. It’s a bumper offering this patch thanks to the Order vs. Chaos
There’s also a load more themed content coming via the missions system. This will be the first big deployment for that, so expect a few bugs. S@20 have a full breakdown of how it all works and, as you might expect in 2017, it’s ludicrously complicated.
LoL Patch 7.12 Login Screen
Each patch has its own login screen with unique music. They’re always fairly excellent, and 7.12’s is no expection. It’s based around the Order & Chaos conflict, unsurprisingly, with some incredible art:
Patch 7.12 Honor System
Huge changes coming to Honor (and Runes, as we covered) this patch. There’s a full breakdown over on the Riot forums.
Blood Moon Rotating Game Mode
Looks like Blood Moon will be heading back into the rotating game mode pool soon, as it’s back on PBE for testing. Here’s Riot’s post about it.
Patch 7.12 context
Lead gameplay designer Meddler has his usual round of posts about the patch, including context on Kindred, Rek’Sai and more changes. He also mentions potential future changes to Azir, explains the removal of Rakan’s buff and Malzahar’s nerf. Some info on what’s coming next was revealed too.
That’s League of Legends patch 7.12. We’ll update as and when we get more info, or we’ll see you for patch 7.13 in the very near future. Let us know below if there’s any vital info we missed!
