LoL: Patch 12.9 buffs Thresh’s souls and nerfs Sion’s zombie mode

Riot Games is laying the groundwork for LoL’s Patch 12.9. We know it will arrive with mini-reworks for Olaf and Taliyah, but for now the developers haven’t released the full list of changes for the two champions. However, we already know the settings for the others.

Thresh will have a buff to make their souls more impactful in their spells and attributes, while Riot decided to take some of Sion’s power by dying and destroying structures. Check out the full list of League of Legends tweaks below.

Changelists are still subject to change. All of the champion adjustment lists are pretty lengthy, but some of the notable changes are listed here.
