A few weeks ago Riot hinted at more healing changes coming to League of Legends and in LoL Patch 12.14, they will be implementing a whole lot of adjustments to healing. Not only that, but drakes are also being put under the microscope.

So let's check out the PBE 12.14 server to know what LoL Patch 12.14 has in store for us other than new Star Guardian skins. These are all the buffs and nerfs of the next League of Legends patch.

All Champion Changes in LoL Patch 12.14

Champion Buffs in Patch 12.14

First and foremost, we have to state that LeBlanc, who has suffered since the durability update in Patch 12.10, will be getting a buff. Though we do wonder why Syndra, who is also a burst mage and has also been pretty weak, isn't getting any attention from Riot. Maybe next patch...?

Gangplank Changes in LoL Patch 12.14

Gangplank is one of the strongest high elo and pro play champions in the game. In lower elo's, he isn't as present due to his high skill ceiling, but his ability to burst down champions with his barrels, as well as utilizing his global ult, make him a threat on all levels of play.

That's why the balance team has decided that Gangplank would have some of his lane power shifted, as well as the crit from his barrels. These are the upcoming changes to Gangplank.
