League of LegendsPatch 12.4

Official Patch Notes League Wiki

League of Legends Patch 12.4 was released on Feb 15, 2022. This update included changes to 33 champions, with 10 buffs, 4 nerfs, 18 adjustments.

The Chem-Baroness

Leverage (Innate)

  • Innate: Renata's basic attacks mark enemies for 6 seconds, dealing 1 to 5.25% (based on level) (+ 1% per 100 AP) of the target's maximum health bonus magic damage if they were unmarked.
  • Allied champions damaging attacks and abilities against marked targets consume the mark to deal 1 to 5.25% (based on level) (+ 1% per 100 AP) of their maximum health as additional bonus magic damage.
  • Attacking a marked enemy will only refresh their mark's duration. Marking a different enemy will remove the mark from the previous target. Leverage's damage is capped at 150 against monsters.

Handshake (Q)

  • Active: Renata fires a hook out from her robotic arm in the target direction, dealing 80/125/170/215/260 (+ 80% AP) magic damage to the first enemy hit and root them for 1 second, during which they are standard sight and Renata is unable to declare attacks and has her movement speed reduced by 30%. Handshake can be recast while the target is rooted.
  • Recast: Renata airborne the target in the target direction, though not through terrain, dealing the same damage to enemies they pass through and stun them for 0.5 seconds if the thrown target is a champion.
  • Mana Cost: 80.
  • Cooldown: 16 seconds.
  • Range: 900 / 275, Width: 140, Speed: 1450 / X, Cast Time: 0.25 seconds.

Bailout (W)

  • Active: Renata enhances herself or the target allied champion for 5 seconds, granting the target 10/15/20/25/30% (+ 1% per 100 AP) bonus attack speed in addition to 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% (+ 1% per 100 AP) bonus movement speed while they are moving toward nearby sight enemy champions and minions, both increasing in effectiveness by 100% over the duration. Bailout's duration resets whenever the target scores a takedown against an enemy champion within 6 seconds of damaging them.
  • If the target takes death while Bailout is active, they are restored to 100% of their maximum health but begin burning to take true damage equal to 8.3% of their maximum health every 0.25 until they die from reaching 0 health. If they score a takedown against an enemy champion within 6 seconds of damaging them while suffering from the burn, it is stopped prematurely and they are set to 35% of their maximum health. This effect may only occur once per application of Bailout while not already active on the target.
  • Mana Cost: 80.
  • Cooldown: 28/26/24/22/20 seconds.
  • Target Range: 800, Effect Radius: 1300, Cast Time: None.

Loyalty Program (E)

  • Renata sends out a chemtech rocket from either side of her that instantly strike targets around her. After 0.4 they converge and travel to the target location as a single missile, striking targets along its path and exploding upon reaching its target location.
  • Renata and allies struck are granted a 50/70/90/110/130 (+ 50% AP) shield for 3 seconds and enemies struck are dealt 65/95/125/155/185 (+ 55% AP) magic damage and are slow by 30% for 2 seconds.
  • Mana Cost: 70/80/90/100/110.
  • Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 seconds.
  • Target Range: 800, Effect Radius: 325 / 225, Width: 220, Speed: 1450, Cast Time: 0.25 seconds.

Hostile Takeover (R)

  • Active: Renata launches a cloud of potent chemicals that spreads out in the target direction, which grants sight of its surroundings and turns all enemy champions and minions it passes over berserk for 1.25/1.75/2.25 seconds.
  • Berserk causes afflicted targets to go insane, granting them 100% bonus attack speed and increased size, and forcing them to basic attack the nearest unit, regardless of being allied, enemy, or neutral. They prioritize attacking their own allies, then neutral units, then Renata's allies, then Renata herself.
  • Renata gains kill credit of enemies killed by their berserked allies through their basic attacks. Berserked units can be forced to attack all units except turret.
  • Mana Cost: 100.
  • Cooldown: 150/130/110 seconds.
  • Range: 2000, Effect Radius: 750, Width: 500, Angle: 14 degrees, Speed: 650 - 1000, Cast Time: 0.75 seconds.

Buying three Rejuvenation Beads has recently cropped up as a powerful item start strategy.
