League of Legends patch 12.10 notes – High Noon skins, durability buff

The League of Legends patch 12.10 notes are starting to launch on the Public Beta Environment (PBE) for all to see. While LoL patch 12.9 is live, thanks to the new update we already have an idea of what Riot Games is bringing to its popular MOBA game next.

First off, the biggest thing coming in LoL update 12.10 is a load more High Noon skins for various Champions. Patch 12.9 added some of these snappy new skins for the likes of Katarina, Leona, and more, and now 12.10 brings in five new ones, including Samira, Sion, and Twitch.

As previously announced, 12.10 also buffs the durability of every single champion, as part of Riot’s goal to “slow the pace” of the game’s combat so damage isn’t so much of a focus. To that end, base health, health per level, armour per level, and magic resistance per level have all been increased across the board – so matches might not be over so quickly now.

And now, here are the League of Legends patch 12.10 notes (thanks, Surrender at 20!).

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS PATCH 12.10 RELEASE DATE AND DOWNTIME

According to the League of Legends 2022 patch schedule, the League of Legends patch 12.10 release date is set for Wednesday, May 25, 2022.

Maintenance times haven’t yet been confirmed, but usually begin at 3am PT for NA servers, 5am UK time for EUW servers, and 3am CET for EUNE servers, and last for approximately three hours, so expect downtime to start sometime around then.

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS PATCH 12.10 CHAMPION SKINS

Champion skins

High Noon Samira – 1350 RP

“The poster was straightforward enough: “WANTED: Tahm Kench – Devil, DEAD OR ALIVE”, followed by a generous sum. Only the Mechanical Devil’s got that kinda cash to pay. Samira ain’t sure why the other bounty hunters seemed so spooked by a little ol’ devil hunt. Well, let ’em shy away. This gunpowder witch don’t scare easy.”

High Noon Sion – 1350 RP

“As soon as Sion knew life, he knew rage: rage that ripped the restraints from the operating table; rage that crushed the bones of those men who tried to play at the miracle of Creation; rage that he ain’t, nor ever would be, the second clockwork angel they had hoped to construct. Sion knows rage, and so will the world.”

High Noon Tahm Kench – 1350 RP

“Tahm Kench is a magnanimous devil: happy to lend a magical sword to a lady in need, or to assist her in robbing the Sulfur Rail, or even to deliver her to a calamitous destiny as a fellow Harbinger of the End Times. He don’t need no compensation. She’ll just owe him a favor… because in the End, it pays to have friends.”

High Noon Twitch – 1350 RP

“It starts like this: An ill wind blows across the desert, dessicated rats turn up in the streets, rotting under the hot sun. Then the traveling undertaker arrives. No one knows who (or what) he is, nor where he hails from… But it seems even Death has a bone to pick with the King of the Sulfur Rail. Another Harbinger arrives.”

Here’s the High Noon Twitch splash art:

High Noon Viktor – 1350 RP

“Many a road to Hell was paved with good intent. Dr. Viktor may be the Mechanical Devil’s kept engineer now, but his work began as charity: trying to “rehome” the souls of the dead in clockwork bodies, in order to circumvent mortality itself. Shame that Mordekaiser saw the good doctor’s kindness and struck him a deal he could not deny.”

MISCELLANEOUS

Miscellaneous

Here are some voice lines for the Void Empress dug up during the PBE:

Riot’s Phlox on Twitter has a preview of further adjustments the team is making, calling 12.10 “a pretty massive patch” – part of the reason why Riot has held off on releasing any specific champion changes.

Hey all!
Patch preview for 12.10, the champ durability update.
More context in followup tweets and the patch notes themselves. The TLDR is this is a pretty disruptive patch and we'll be watching closely and ready to react.
I'd love to know what y'all think about this patch!

Phlox also explains why Riot has made sweeping nerfs to healing, mostly down to the fact that sustain champions would be “absolutely unkillable” after the other changes the team has made.

If we didn't adjust healing and shielding, sustain champs would be absolutely unkillable and buffed waaay more than their counterparts. We're not trying to swap league into a Mega-Mundo-Meta.
