(Country) – So version 12.17 full of fun has officially been updated on the home LoL server.
After a long wait, League of Legends version 12.17 has officially been updated on the home server. Version 12.17 is considered an interesting version, containing many changes from medium to large towards the world final tournament at the end of September. And now let’s take a look at 4 new styles that will emerge! Damage will be abbreviated ST.
4. Deadly Graves
In this version 12.17, Graves will be strengthened in the direction of “Magician”, sending the enemy to the countdown board in a flash. Specifically, the publisher Riot Games changes as follows:
Q – Target Piercing Bullet
Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds ⇒ 13/11.5/10/8.5/7 seconds
R – Cannon Explosive Bullet
– ST: 250/400/550 (+150% bonus attack damage) ⇒ 275/425/575 (+150% bonus attack damage)
You may not have noticed, Graves at this time is considered to be slow to develop strength, the gameplay is a bit passive at the beginning of the game, it is necessary to get a lot of jungle monster stats to get stronger over time. Therefore, it makes perfect sense for Riot Games to upgrade Graves. Combined with the waning of control junglers, Graves will have a very bright future at the upcoming worlds.
Graves will be buffed in the direction of “Magician”
In this patch 12.17, Graves is buffed in the direction of Lethality when his Q cooldown decreases after level 5, his ultimate is increased by 25 ST. If you build in the direction of attack, Graves is not much stronger, but if you build “Magician”, this stat will be fully utilized. Please note a bit, the Lethal items all have skill cooldowns, so the skill set will be launched continuously.
3. Maokai block top lane
Maokai was put into the jungle position by the publisher Riot Games, but it is not strong, but they have changed the Maokai index that interacts with the defense index. Since then, Maokai has suddenly become extremely strong in the top lane, so strong that gamers who have never played Maokai can still get positive results. Specifically, Maokai has a win rate of up to 52.5% and will be nerfed by Riot in patch 12.18.
Maokai top lane is healthy, jungle is not good
Now, Maokai will still be difficult in the laning phase but interact very strongly with equipment, getting stronger towards the end of the game. We can put Maokai as a heavy carry champion in the tank group because the tank group is usually more of a support. Maokai is suitable for all mythical items, then add Eternal Ice Armor and you will enter a new page. Maokai’s difficulty is only in the early stages of the game, it’s much easier to play by the time you have 2 big dishes.

2. Hecarim attack power
This Hecarim in version 12.17 is adjusted by Riot towards the Physical Fighter bias instead of building in the direction of tanking. To maximize Hecarim’s power, players need to build up to the trend of 60% attack – 40% defense at this time. 40% defense to hang around and take advantage of the Q community effect, while 60% attack to enjoy the changes coming from Riot in patch 12.17.
Hecarim speed will be back in the near future.
Now, Q has a maximum of 3 stacks, greatly increasing the player’s strength, and W also increases armor and magic resistance, making Hecarim players stronger. In return for those advantages, Hecarim’s E and ult have reduced control effects.
Therefore, Hecarim’s build style in this 12.17 patch will be God-slaying Triumvirate/Ax, Death Dance, Malmortius’s Mace, Angel’s Armor. If you are confident in your own strength, Youmuu Ghost Sword will be extremely suitable for sending opponents to the counting board in a flash. Remember this powerful attack-oriented Hecarim style.

1. Miss Fortune Critical (Violent)
Actually, Miss Fortune in previous versions is really not weak at all, this general builds in the direction of Killing and has a 51-52% win rate, which has a very strong impact on the game. However, the gameplay of Miss Fortune Killer is somewhat safer than necessary, without many disadvantages, so Riot Games decided to push in a new direction.
Riot Games strengthens this girl in many different ways. Q ability is increased in power, and cast time is reduced when on items that interact with the attack speed stat. In addition, the W skill increases the player’s attack speed to make good use of his aggressive style.
Critical Miss Fortune is very “Error” at the moment!
From just two small reasons, Miss Fortune owns more than 53% of the win rate in version 12.17 with a new style, becoming a buggy champion. Therefore, Riot will reduce the power of Miss Fortune in the next version, so the community should take advantage of it quickly before it’s too late, time is still for everyone, at least for another 2 weeks.
