The new update focuses on balancing champions at different levels; Other improvements have also been added.
League of Legends is updated, as every two weeks, this time to its version 10.14 (if you are looking for the TFT version, click on this link). This has been announced by Riot Games on the official website of the video game, where they have highlighted that the new patch focuses on the balance of champions “with a tendency to stumble”, that is, protagonists such as Alistar, Kha’Zix and Sejuani. They also report that they have retouched professional “champions who appear frequently on the scene.” Among them is Trundle and Varus, who will give up some power so that others can shine.
Here are the full patch notes:
Champions
Enlist
- Q cooldown reduced.
- We strengthen the disruptive power of this minotaur in long fights by providing it with more opportunities to use its fearsome fists.
Q – Spraying
- COOLDOWN 17/16/15/14/13 s ⇒ 15/14/13/12/11 s.
Ezreal
E cooldown increased.
- Ezreal is too safe on the lower and central lanes, as well as the mid-game ending skirmishes, given the amount of damage it is capable of dealing. We will reduce its ability to continually evade its attackers. We’ve increased the cooldown of the E, but not drastically, so you’ll still have a chance to use it twice, only now you’ll have to play more carefully around that vulnerability.
E – Arcane Alteration
- COOLDOWN 25/22/19/16/13 s ⇒ 28/25/22/19/16 s
Karthus
- Increased basic health and movement speed. Q damage increased. Damage against monsters reduced. E’s mana restoration is now always active. Increases the frequency of area damage pulses per second.
- The Voice of Death is now more deadly in its two main positions. With Karthus Jungle, we are going to pass some of its monster power to enemy champions so it’s not so much aimed at farming. This also implies that the power that we are going to give to Karthus will serve to revitalize it in the central street, since it will increase its survival capacity in the first levels and its damage per second in general. Now it will give the sensation of being at the height of its rivals on the street. As the icing on the cake, we are going to polish your E to make it more intuitive and more responsive.
Basic statistics
- LIFE 528 ⇒ 550
- MOVEMENT SPEED 325 ⇒ 335
Q – Sow destruction
- DAMAGE 45/65/85/105/125 (+0.3 Ability Power) ⇒ 50/70/90/110/130 (+0.35 Ability Power)
- DAMAGE REDUCTION AGAINST MONSTERS 0% ⇒ 15%
E – Desecration
- MANA RESTORE Only when idle ⇒ Always.
- AREA DAMAGE PULSE RATE Deals damage 1 time per second ⇒ Deals damage 4 times per second (does not change cost or damage). Deactivating Desecration deals 1 pulse of damage.
Kha’Zix
Increases bonus damage against isolated targets.
- Let’s sharpen the claws on this insect. Its power is very low for medium and high level players, so we believe that a small improvement can bring it to break even, also for elite players. The changes are good, after all.
Q – Taste your fear
- BONUS DAMAGE AGAINST ISOLATED TARGETS 100% ⇒ 120%.
Pyke
- Growth of basic magic resistance and armor reduced. Q cost reduced and now progresses. Cooldown reduced in early levels. Base damage increased. W’s additional movement speed is now constant at all levels. E base damage increased.
- The objective is to remove this bloodthirsty beast from the central street and enhance its supporting role. As a slippery assassin, he has too much freedom to launch himself around and surround his enemies. In addition, Pyke has much more ability to accumulate experience on the central street than on the lower street. To curb these perks, we will reduce your armor progression, which will go from being best in class to a level below. We will also decrease your ability to stalk quickly across the map. These changes should be noticed especially in the central street, where Pyke accesses the last levels of his W much earlier to accelerate his pressure on the map. Also, we’re going to add some power to your Q so that you can launch the harpoon with less consequence and bring it out more often on the lane below.
Basic statistics
- MAGIC RESIST GROWTH 1.5 ⇒ 1.25.
- ARMOR GROWTH 5 ⇒ 3.5
Q – Bone spit
- COST 70 mana ⇒ 50/55/60/65/70 mana
- COOLDOWN 12/11/10/9/8 s ⇒ 10 / 9.5 / 9 / 8.5 / 8 s
- BASE DAMAGE 75/125/175/225/275 ⇒ 85/135/185/235/285.
W – Marine Spectrum Immersion
- ADDITIONAL MOVEMENT SPEED 40/45/50/55/60% ⇒ 40% at all levels.
E – Phantom current
- BASE DAMAGE 95/125/155/185/215 ⇒ 105/135/165/195/225.
Riven
Passive bonus damage increased.
- Riven’s depth and popularity are suffering from the fact that the metagame’s item sets simply aren’t in keeping with his playstyle. For this reason, she has been a little exiled. We’re bringing its damage-oriented item sets (such as Essence Reaver, Youmuu, and Bloodthirsty) back to its full potential vs. current, more resistance-oriented items (such as Blade and Death’s Dance).
Passive – Runic Blade
- BONUS DAMAGE 25-50% of total attack damage (levels 1-18) ⇒ 30-60% of total attack damage (levels 1-18) (this damage also applies to life steal and critics).
Sejuani
- E base damage increased. Cooldown reduced to apply Frost to stunned enemies and is now constant at all levels.
- Given Sejuani and Bristle’s tendency to dominate the professional scene, we have kept a cool head. Although we are still a little reluctant to let go of the reins, we are going to give them a little leeway and amplify their damage so they don’t slip on the ice.
E – Permanent freezing
- BASE DAMAGE 40/90/140/190/240 ⇒ 55/105/155/205/255.
- FROST COOLDOWN Frost cannot be applied to stunned enemy champions for 10/9/8 s (levels 1/7/14) ⇒ Frost cannot be applied to stunned enemy champions for 8 s (levels 1-18).
Trundle
- W bonus attack speed reduced in early levels.
- This treacherous troll is continually wreaking havoc on the professional scene. We’re going to roll back the improvements in version 9.6 in the hope that this will reduce its power in duels and its ability to clear jungle camps in the early levels.
W – Icy Kingdom
- ADDITIONAL ATTACK SPEED 30 / 47.5 / 65 / 82.5 / 100% ⇒ 20/40/60/80/100%.
Varus
- Q bonus max damage ratio now progresses. E base damage reduced in early levels.
- Varus, alongside the Troll King, is also causing a stir in the professional scene and is the standard blind pick (or first red-side block). We focus on his ability to harass from afar in the early levels to try to get him to harass his opponents less on the street.
Q – Piercing Arrow
- MAXIMUM BONUS DAMAGE RATIO 150% of total attack damage ⇒ 125/130/135/140/145% of total attack damage (minimum damage is always 66% of maximum damage).
E – Rain of arrows
- BASE DAMAGE 70/105/140/175/210 ⇒ 50/90/130/170/210.
Volibear
- Basic attack speed decreased. W healing is now halved against monsters.
- This thundering beast continues its relentless frenzy, especially in the jungle in the medium skill level group. We take some of its power away so that it balances its camp clearance speed and stamina so it stops rampaging through the jungle.
Basic statistics
- ATTACK SPEED 0.66 ⇒ 0.625.
W – Frenzy Rush
- HEALING AGAINST INJURED ENEMIES Reduces 50% against minions ⇒ Reduces 50% against minions and monsters.
Wukong
- R survey duration reduced.
- Wukong is too strong right now, so we’re going to cut some of the area disruption it brings to team fights before it keeps spinning out of control.
R – Cyclone
- LIFTING DURATION 0.75 s ⇒ 0.6 s
Zed
- W projectile speed increased. Cooldown reduced in early levels.
- We brought Zed out of the shadows to improve his power in high-level matches in an exciting way that will make him more consistent with his combos and more potential to win plays. Yes, you read that correctly: With the drastic changes that have been made to the game since Season 3, we are going to reverse the slowing down of its 3.13 W speed and increase its accessibility. This should give your combos a greater sense of fluidity and power, as well as open up more opportunities for mischief with their shurikens.
W – Living Shadow
- PROJECTILE SPEED 1750 ⇒ 2500
- COOLDOWN 22/20/18/16/14 s ⇒ 20 / 18.5 / 17 / 15.5 / 14 s.
Runes
Predator
- Predator is still weaker than we expected, so we will continue with the adjustments. We added some improvements so that it can compete with other key runes.
- DAMAGE GROWTH 30-90 (levels 1-18) ⇒ 40-120 (levels 1-18).
- COOLDOWN 100-70 s (levels 1-18) ⇒ 90-60 s (levels 1-18).
Summoner spells
Ghostly
- The changes to Phantasmal from version 10.12 have turned out to be a slight debuff due to increased cooldown, so we’re going to continue with an upgrade to get it going full speed in the right direction.
- ADDITIONAL MOVEMENT SPEED 20-40% (levels 1-18) ⇒ 24-48% (levels 1-18).
Conqueror Clash
- We will be holding a special Clash tournament the weekend of July 11-12, with additional prizes for premium tickets and a clear path to PV rewards. Here’s all the details!

- Ivern’s W – Creamers’ weed summoned behind narrow walls is no longer partially invisible from the enemy’s point of view.
- Now when you hover over skills that have not been level up, the description correctly reports that they have not yet been learned (“You have not yet learned this skill!”).
