Akali Nerf in LoL Patch 11.14

Akali is getting nerfed in Patch 11.14. She seems to be a champion impossible to balance. Two abilities from her and the enemy is forced to go back to base, but hopefully, with these changes, she is going to be back in line.

She won’t be able to use her Q during her E dash anymore, but we’re not sure if that was really the problem regarding her kit, hence, why Riot has also decided to cut down on her ultimate power. Let’s see if anything changes for Akali in Patch 11.14.

Darius and Garen Buffs in LoL Patch 11.14

Who would have thought that Garen and Darius need buffs? Seriously, those two are so overpowered already, but unfortunately, they lost a lot of their prowess after the mobility changes in Patch 11.13. So to the buff list it is for these two buff top laners.

Darius got his passive increased. His Bonus Attack Damage is increased in Patch 11.14. This means with each level, Darius is going to be even more obnoxiously strong. Add in the cooldown reduction to his E, and we will perma-ban this champion once again.

Garen also suffered due to mobility changes. He is just too slow, hence, why in Patch 11.14 he is getting a buff to his movement speed. Oh, and his ultimate got more powerful as well, just in case he can’t reach those pesky squishies in the back. Great.

Irelia Changes in LoL Patch 11.14

Irelia has gotten a slight makeover in Patch 11.14. She will be squishier early, but scale health better later on. But not only that, her whole kit got some changes.

Her passive will only contain 4 stacks now. With each stack, the bonus movement speed in the early game has been lowered, but increased for the late game. The empowered damage has also been decreased.

But wait! That’s not all! Her Q dash speed has been slightly decreased while the bonus damage to minions now scales with her level. Her W base damage reduction will also contain magic damage and her E cannot be recast while she is cc’d. Her ultimate also got a new passive which reduces the cooldown of her Q.

Overall, Irelia’s power curve will be a bit smoother. These changes also pertain to the pro scene and with the weakened early game, she will be squishier and far easier to abuse. So let’s see how she stacks up in Solo Queue!

New Game Mode – Ultimate Spellbook – Added to Client in Patch 11.14

A new game mode has been added in LoL Patch 11.14. You love URF and Nexus Blitz, so now it’s time to try out this fun and insane game. The rules are simple, instead of two Summoner Spells, you only get 1. The other slot gets exchanged for a random ultimate from another champion.

Of course, Riot didn’t include every single ultimate in the pool of random ults, instead, you’ll get one of 40 champions. At the beginning of each match, you get a choice of three ults and pick one as your extra summoner.

This game mode is blind pick and once in-game, you’ll be able to see which ultimates the other players, even enemies, have chosen. So make sure you pick the right one and go out there to have some fun!
