Evelynn, Agony’s Embrace, is getting a number of big buffs in League of Legends (LoL) patch 12.13.
We’ve included this plus a few other highlights from today’s patch notes. In terms of the release date, patch 12.13 is set to go live from July 13th/14th 2022 depending on the player region.
Evelynn buffs in LoL patch 12.13:
The queen of the rift is seeing her passive heal increased, W magic resistance reduction increased and her the timer to reenter passive camouflage after using her ultimate has been lowered.
Riot said that Evelynn hasn’t been seen much since the Durability Update, and is encouraging her to be played more by “giving her several quality of life buffs and increasing the reward for when she successfully charms her targets”.
The changes are as follows:
- Passive – Demon Shade Self Heal at Low Health: 15-75 (levels 1-18) > 15-150 (levels 1-18) per second
- W – Allure Enemy Magic Resistance Reduction: 25/27.5/30/32.5/35% > 35/37.5/40/42.5/45%
- R – Last Caress [NEW] SEEK N’ HIDE: Using R now puts ‘Passive – Demon Shade’ on a 1.25 second cooldown (rather than the usual 4 second cooldown)
In other Evelynn news, she is also being added to Legends of Runeterra, along with Kai’Sa:
Corki nerfs in LoL patch 12.13:
Corki’s AD scaling on his E increased, while his R base damage has been decreased, plus his AP scaling has been decreased.
“The Daring Bombardier doesn’t look up-to-snuff when launching missiles from a screen away,” Riot said. “His long-ranged poke has made him a menace in pro play given how consistent and powerful it is.
“We’re toning down his missiles and upgrading his Gatling Gun so Corki has a bigger reason to enter close quarters combat.”
- E – Gatling Gun Damage per tick: 7.5/10.63/ 13.75/16.88/20 (+10% bonus AD) > 7.5/10.63/13.75/16.88/20 (+15% bonus AD)
- R – Missile Barrage Rocket Damage: 90/125/160 (+15/45/75% AD) (+20% AP) > 80/115/150 (+15/45/75% AD) (+12% AP)
- – Missile Barrage Big One Rocket Damage: 180/250/320 (+30/90/150% AD) (+40% AP) > 160/230/300 (+30/90/150% AD) (+24% AP)
Divine Sunderer changes in LoL patch 12.13:
“Divine Sunderer is currently doing its job a bit too well,” Riot said.
“Not only is it helping fighters play into tanks, it’s also helping them play better into everyone in general. With this update, we’re looking to shift Sunderer’s power away from shredding tanks and into a comparatively lower damage/higher sustain option for fighters.”
- Spellblade Damage: (12% melee/9% ranged) of target’s maximum health > 125% base AD (+(6% melee/3% ranged) of target’s maximum health)
- Heal: 50% of premitigation damage (+(6% melee/3% ranged) of target’s maximum health) > 65% of premitigation damage (+(4.8% melee/2.4% ranged) of target’s maximum health) (+100% base AD)
- Mythic Passive Bonus for Legendary Items: 5% armor penetration and 5% magic penetration > 3% armor penetration and 3% magic penetration
- [UPDATE] FORGET ME NOT: These same changes will apply to the Ornn Masterwork item, Deicide
