League of Legends' next update, LoL patch 12.18, is just around the corner!
Rounding out League of Legends' infamous summer sections where the popular MOBA pulls no punches with its abundance of content is no other than the patch that the Worlds 2022 international tournament will be played on.
Unlike other updates before it this summer, LoL 12.18 will not bring major tuning or balancing, but instead, favor minor adjustments in order to not make any drastic changes prior to the tournament.
When does LoL 12.18 come out?
Following along with the official League of Legends patch schedule, LoL 12.18 is set to release next week on Wednesday, September 21, 2022.
If you're looking for a more accurate timeframe, as in what time the patch will be playable on Wednesday, you can expect the patch to be live following League of Legends' server maintenance at 9 am EST. The server maintenance will begin at 6 am EST.
What do expect from LoL 12.18
