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 RELEASE DATE AND DOWNTIME According to the League of Legends 2022 patch schedule, the League of Legends patch 12.6 release date is set for Wednesday, April 13, 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 12.7 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.

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.

Riot August has also given everyone a peep at the rationale behind some of the upcoming Zeri changes.
Zeri the carry is still very checks notes strong in pro play…
The nerfs hit all builds, but should hurt bruiser more than crit. We’re making the ult stack slower and more consistently, no more 2x-5x stacks when hitting a grouped up team, but you get double stacks on crit! pic.twitter.com/74xQnje8RO — August (@RiotAugust) April 5, 2022

Riot is starting to ramp up work on “mid-scope updates”, which involve more sweeping champion changes. Taliyah and Olaf are currently being tinkered with, though Riot does warn that these changes can take several months to lock down, so keep that in mind.
We’re beginning to ramp up work on “mid-scope updates”. These are larger sets of changes for champions that can take a couple months to lock down. The recent Ahri and Janna adjustments are examples of work in this space.
