League of Legends patch 12.7 notes – Arcana skins, Zeri nerf

League of Legends patch 12.7 notes are here, folks. While LoL patch 12.6 only released at the end of last month, Riot Games has wasted no time getting to work on what’s next for the MOBA game.

The 12.6 update has plenty to keep you occupied while Riot works on the next patch. The fashion-conscious among us have some new LoL Anima Squad skins to check out, which may be good news if you’re a fan of Vayne, Miss Fortune, or Jinx. Rengar has also got a pretty hefty rework, while Hecarim has got some much-needed nerfs to rein them in a tad.

The latest set of patch notes are now here, so we know everything that’s arrived. Riot has revealed that we’re getting Arcane skins for Ahri, Xayah, Rakan, Ryze, and Hecarim, which essentially gives the LoL champions a warm red glow and some new duds. You’ve also got heaps of champion changes to eyeball.

Without further ado, here are the League of Legends patch 12.7 notes.

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS PATCH 12.7 CHAMPION SKINS

Champion Skins

 Arcana Ahri – 1350 RP

“A trickster and magician whose power is drawn from the grinning moon, Ahri plies her trade rearranging patterns and allowing the Lower World insight into the Higher. Having already set the fated pair Xayah and Rakan careening towards each other, she awaits the resulting chaos with a cynical bemusement.”

Arcana Hecarim – 1350 RP

“Enforcer of the Higher World, his ever-forward motion crushes those before him while carving new fates for those left in his wake. He seeks to stop Rakan of the Lower World and prevent the calamitous disaster that will result from a fated love blooming betwixt the stars.”

Arcana Rakan – 1350 RP

“One half of a perpetually incomplete whole, Rakan’s fated love was not in the Lower World, but among the Higher Arcana far above. As the two rush to meet betwixt the lands of their birth, fate bubbles and boils over– a roiling sea from which a new order may emerge.”

Arcana Ryze – 1350 RP

“A secret-keeper and didact, whose power dwells in his mind and hands. Tasked with quietly solving the problems of the worlds with little fanfare or recognition, he prepares to fix whatever chaos the fated lovers cause before retreating back to obscurity– serving as a role model to the talented but forgotten.”

Arcana Xayah – 1350 RP

“One half of a perpetually incomplete whole, Xayah has found her love not in the world of the Higher Arcana, but the Lower. As she strains to meet the fated Rakan and pull him upwards towards herself, their tension frays and forms discordant knots– setting the stage for something new.”
