Overview
- Riot Games, which disabled Neon on PC Thursday, said she returns in Patch 12.09 after a Fast Lane bug let some players see through her twin‑wall ability.
- Following Friday’s patch preview, Neon’s High Gear no longer grants extra speed while jumping, her fuel regenerates passively and on kill during her ultimate, and slide visuals now show direction more clearly.
- Shotguns will be less accurate while moving, with standardized inaccuracy for running, walking, crouch‑walking, and jumping plus a 15% accuracy bonus when crouching, and this overhaul was moved up from Patch 13.00.
- The exploit is limited to PC due to specific NVIDIA graphics settings that could make Fast Lane appear transparent, so consoles keep access to Neon.
- Riot framed the changes as restoring fair combat and counterplay after Neon’s surge in pro play, which means Neon mains and run‑and‑gun shotgun users will need to adjust their tactics once 12.09 ships.
