Riot Games' League of Legends is set to protrude another set of patches that micromanage its recent update in reference with Sportskeeda.
This will not introduce new sets of major changes as this aims to balance some issues present in the most recent patch.
Riot Games' designer on the Summoner Rift team, Riot Phlox, revealed the preview in a tweet in its account.
Hey hey, it's 12.5b preview time!

12.5b is the scheduled micropatch we're putting out Wednesday to do some balance adjustments before the longer break.
We'll also be swapping the patch preview around between me and a few other people on the team starting the next few patches. pic.twitter.com/qI2fEYsAzf
Master Yi, Varus, Draven, Ashe, and Lucian will receive buffs, while Ryze, Zeri, Jinx, and Aphelios will receive nerfs. The item Locket of the Iron Solari will also receive nerf.
It will be expected to face the before type of Master Yi as the on-hit effects of his killing kit will be toned down and revert his lethality built back into the Summoner's Rift. So, considering this provisioned change, Duskblade of Draktharr mythic build for Yi is more appropriate than the Kraken Slayer one.
Moreover, Riot seemed uneasy with Zeri's current stance into LoL's metagame. This will face an incoming nerf in her already weakened skill sets; Riot seemingly saw that Zeri had overpowered damage connivance with her movement speed. Despite this nerf on the latest update was given attention to, this incoming micro-update shall balance how this attack damage carry (ADC) scale along the time in the Summoner's Rift.
Just sometime after that latest patch of Zeri, the developers showed the possibility of balancing her mobility and overall damage; they ought to move this hero's damage independent of her base attack damage and remove her armor-scaling ability and convert it into an HP-based one (health points).
This hopefully affects Zeri's ban rate and balances her win rate among ranked matches across all servers; the same is through with Master Yi, as the latest adjustment plunged the swordsman's win rate and pick rate altogether.
The support item Locket of the Iron Solari will be with Zeri's weakening in this patch 12.5b, and the specific ground on this item's weakening has yet to be determined.
