Overview
Patch 10.14

The June gloom has come and gone, and here we are with sunny skies and 10.14!

This patch, we’re here to teeter those who have been tottering, like Alistar, Kha’Zix, and Sejuani. We’re also adding an extra dash of spice (or more specifically, shadow) to a dashing assassin and shaking things up with a ferocious fighter and her blade.

There’s also been some calibrations to champions who have been consistently turning up on the (pro) scene, like Trundle and Varus, to give their peers more elbow room to take on the stage. As a result, we’re also giving special attention to a bloody beast from the belly of Bilgewater and adding more bang for his buck in the botlane (say that three times fast).

Last but not least, you may have also noticed that we've updated the Patch Highlights, an image we use to summarize all the biggest changes in a patch. Per the goals laid out in our latest Balance Framework Update, we're getting folks more informed and aware of our thinking when it comes to balance so we added more context like a key with roles and skillbands. What better place to add this information to than the image with all the important updates in any given patch. Let us know what you think!

Now go on, run your way through the rest of this patch, out on the Rift, and down your lane! We’ll see ya at the next, uh, rundown.

Champions[]

AlistarSquare Alistar  
Q cooldown decreased.

Strengthening this mighty minotaur’s disruption in extended fights by giving him more opportunities to use his fearsome fists.

Pulverize Q - Pulverize
COOLDOWN : [17/16/15/14/13]
15/14/13/12/11

EzrealSquare Ezreal  
E cooldown increased.

Ezreal is a bit too safe in lane and in mid and late game skirmishes for the amount of damage he puts out, so we’re reducing his ability to continuously evade attackers. We’re bringing up his cooldown but not drastically so— he still has the potential to get in a second E, but will have to be careful in playing around that vulnerability.

Arcane Shift E - Arcane Shift
COOLDOWN : [25/22/19/16/13]
28/25/22/19/16

KarthusSquare Karthus  
Base health and movement speed increased. Q damage increased; damage to monsters decreased. E mana restore is now always active; AoE damage tick rate per second increased.

Slinging more death over to the deathsinger by targeting his two main roles. With Jungle Karthus, we’re shifting some of his power against monsters to enemy champions so he feels less farming-focused. This also means the power we’re bringing to Karthus will bring some spirit back to mid lane Karthus by increasing early survivability and increasing his DPS across the board, so that he feels better equipped to lane against his peers. And as a cherry on top, we’re cleaning up E to feel more responsive and intuitive.

Base Stats
HEALTH : [528] 550
MOVEMENT SPEED : [325] 335

Lay Waste Q - Lay Waste

DAMAGE : [45/65/85/105/125 (+0.3 AP)]
50/70/90/110/130 (+0.35 AP)
DAMAGE REDUCTION TO MONSTERS : [0%] 15%

Defile E - Defile

MANA RESTORE : [Only when toggled off] Always
AOE DAMAGE TICK RATE : Deals damage [1 time per second] 4 times per second (damage and cost per second are unchanged). Deactivating Defile deals 1 tick’s worth of damage.

Kha'ZixSquare Kha'Zix  
Isolated target bonus damage increased.

We’re sharpening the claws on this bug. He's on the low end of power for Average and Skilled players, and we think a small buff can push him into a balanced spot for elite players as well. Change is good, after all.

Taste Their Fear Q - Taste Their Fear
ISOLATED TARGET BONUS DAMAGE : [100%] 120%

PykeSquare Pyke  
Base magic resist growth and armor growth decreased. Q cost decreased and now scales; cooldown decreased early; base damage increased. W bonus movement speed now constant at all ranks. E base damage increased.

Aiming to pull this bloody beast away from the mid lane and boost his role as a support. As a slippery assassin, he was getting too much leeway while diving in and around his enemies. Mid Pyke is also far more capable of soaking up experience than in the bot lane. To curb these advantages, we’re bumping his armor scaling down from the literal best in class to a notch below and pulling back on his swift stalking around the map. These changes should primarily be felt in the mid lane, where Pyke accesses his later W levels much earlier to speed up his roam. In addition, we’re pumping more power into his Q so that he can fish for hooks with less punishment and harpoon it out more in the botlane.

Base Stats
MAGIC RESIST GROWTH : [1.5] 1.25
ARMOR GROWTH : [5] 3.5

Bone Skewer Q - Bone Skewer

COST : [70] 50/55/60/65/70
COOLDOWN : [12/11/10/9/8]
10/9.5/9/8.5/8
BASE DAMAGE : [75/125/175/225/275]
85/135/185/235/285

Ghostwater Dive W - Ghostwater Dive

BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED : [40/45/50/55/60%]
40% at all ranks

Phantom Undertow E - Phantom Undertow

BASE DAMAGE : [95/125/155/185/215]
105/135/165/195/225

RivenSquare Riven  
Passive bonus damage increased.

Due to current meta builds that simply don’t align with Riven’s playstyle, her depth and breadth of play has been suffering, and she’s been feeling a bit… exiled. We’re bringing back her edge by buffing more damage-focused Riven builds (think Essence Reaver, Youmuu’s, and Bloodthirster) over the current tankier meta ones (like Cleaver and Death’s Dance).

Runic Blade Passive - Runic Blade
BONUS DAMAGE : [25-50% total attack damage (levels 1-18)]
30-60% total attack damage (levels 1-18) (lifesteal and critical strikes also apply to this damage)

SejuaniSquare Sejuani  
E base damage increased; Frost cooldown on stunned enemy champions decreased and constant at all levels.

We've kept it cool when looking at Sejuani and Bristle due to their propensity to take over pro play. While we're still hesitant about letting them run amok, we’re letting them chill out and defrost by amping up her damage output.

Permafrost E - Permafrost
BASE DAMAGE : [40/90/140/190/240]
55/105/155/205/255
FROST COOLDOWN : Stunned enemy champions cannot gain Frost for [10/9/8 seconds (levels 1/7/14)]
8 seconds (levels 1-18)

TrundleSquare Trundle  
W bonus attack speed decreased early.

This treacherous troll has been on a particularly savage streak as he continues to tear through professional play. We’re reverting the patch 9.6 buff in the hopes that this will ice down his early game clear speed and dueling prowess.

Frozen Domain W - Frozen Domain
BONUS ATTACK SPEED : [30/47.5/65/82.5/100%]
20/40/60/80/100%

VarusSquare Varus  
Q maximum bonus damage ratio now scales. E base damage decreased early.

Along with the Troll King, Varus is also stifling pro play as the go-to blind pick (or first red side ban). Targeting his early poke to make him less effective at bullying his peers out of lane.

Piercing Arrow Q - Piercing Arrow
MAXIMUM BONUS DAMAGE RATIO : [150%] 125/130/135/140/145% total attack damage (minimum damage is always 66% of the maximum damage)

Hail of Arrows E - Hail of Arrows

BASE DAMAGE : [70/105/140/175/210]
50/90/130/170/210

VolibearSquare Volibear  
Base attack speed decreased. W heal now halved when targeting monsters.

This thundering beast has been in a relentless frenzy, specifically in the jungle in the average skill group. Pulling back his power in a way that will balance his clear speed and sustain as he continues to storm through the jungle.

Base Stats
ATTACK SPEED : [0.66] 0.625

Frenzied Maul W - Frenzied Maul

WOUNDED ENEMY HEAL : Reduced by 50% on minions and monsters

WukongSquare Wukong  
R knockup duration decreased.

Wukong is a bit on the stronger side, so we’re toning down some of the AoE disruption he brings to teamfights before he spins out of control.

Cyclone R - Cyclone
KNOCKUP DURATION : [0.75] 0.6 seconds

ZedSquare Zed  
W missile speed increased; cooldown decreased early.

We’re bringing Zed out of the shadows to bring up his higher elo power in an exciting way that gives him higher consistency in his combos and more outplay potential. Yeah, you heard us—with the landscape of the game changing drastically from season 3, we’re reverting his W speed nerf all the way back from patch 3.13 and increasing its accessibility. This should make his combos feel smoother and stronger and open more windows for shuriken shenanigans.

Living Shadow W - Living Shadow
MISSILE SPEED : [1750] 2500
COOLDOWN : [22/20/18/16/14]
20/18.5/17/15.5/14

Runes[]

Rune PredatorPredator   

Predator is still weaker than expected, so we’re continuing our fine tuning. Giving it some boosts to help it compete with other keystones.

DAMAGE GROWTH : [30-90] 40-120
COOLDOWN : [100-70 seconds (levels 1-18)]
90-60 seconds (levels 1-18)

Summoner Spells[]

GhostGhost 

Our changes to Ghost in patch 10.12 ended up being a small nerf with its increased cooldown, so we’re following up with a buff to speedily move it in the right direction.

BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED : [20-40% (levels 1-18)] 24-48% (levels 1-18)

Conqueror Clash[]

We're running a special one-weekend Clash tournament July 11-12, with extra prizes for Premium Ticket entries and a streamlined VP reward track. Full details here!
