LoL Patch 12.22b Patch Notes - New items drastically nerfed for new meta

League of Legends preseason 2023 has begun and all of the new items, changes, and recommendations have arrived.

There have also been some champion balances so that the current meta isn't too drastic from last season.

A summary of the patch notes for the season balance update has been released.

So, let's take a look at the patch notes for patch 12.2b in League of Legends and how these will affect players.
