LOL 12.1
Riot Games revealed that the first patch of the 12th season would focus on Janna, Rengar, and the Summoner Spell Teleport.
It was announced that Janna’s Howling Gale would be buffed and her passive skill Tailwind and base stats would be nerfed, while adjustments would be made for her Zephyr and Eye of the Storm.
For Rengar, adjustments will be made for his Trill of Hunt in which his camouflage will be made active within one second of activation as opposed to the current two seconds. During camouflage, he will gain the True-Sight of any nearby champions for 20 seconds. He will also leap attack when attacking during camouflage. Upon activating the skill, he would have an increase in his movement speed by 60 percent.
Similarly, Teleport will also have some effects adjusted. It will have a new tooltip text, saying: “After channeling for four seconds, your champion teleports to target allied structures”. It will upgrade to Unleashed Teleport when Turret Plates fall at 14 minutes. Unleashed Teleport will have a 270-second cooldown and, can be used on allied structures, minions, or wards, and will grant a 50 percent move speed boost for three seconds.
