Champion Adjustments

Riot Phroxzon outlined that Marksmen seem to be in a decent spot with some good snowballing potential after the 14.10 mid-season update. He also added that with changes to gold and experience, they can now keep up with solo laners as well, so we aren't going to see too many adjustments there yet. But we do have quite a few cool changes:

Caitlyn

Base Stats

• Attack Speed Ratio: 0.568 ⇒ 0.594

W – Yordle Snap Trap

• Headshot Bonus AD Ratio: 40/50/60/70/80% ⇒ 40%

R – Ace in the Hole

• Bonus AD Ratio: 170% ⇒ 150%

K'Sante

Q – Ntofo Strikes

• Mana Cost: 28/26/24/22/20 ⇒ 20

W – Path Maker

• Damage Reduction: 40-65% based on level ⇒ 30%
• Maximum Hold Duration: 1.5 seconds ⇒ 1 second
• All Out Damage Reduction: 57.35-75% based on level ⇒ 60%

R – All Out

• Healing: 1015/20% ⇒ 15/20/25%

Ornn

Passive – Living Forge

• Ornn can now upgrade all (minus a few exceptions like Mejai's Soulstealer, Archangel's Staff, and similar items) Legendary items to Masterwork items.
• Masterwork Items gain extra stats based on the stats the original Legendary item provides. (If an item gives AD and HP, the upgrade will give you more AD and HP, etc.)

With these changes, every item can now be upgraded. The first item in someone's inventory will be the one to be upgraded by Ornn. Unfortunately, with this, Riot will get rid of unique Ornn item names, and now it will just say "Masterwork" behind the item when upgraded.

LoL Patch 14.11: System Buffs & Nerfs

ARAM Balance Changes In LoL Patch 14.11

Along with Arena and Summoner's Rift, Riot is also going to have some adjustments for ARAM champions. The team will remove and change some of the buff and nerf modifiers on champions where it doesn't make as much sense anymore.

League of Legends: New Cosmetics

Riot is also going to bring back the Infernal skin line in 2024. Three skins have been added and will be released with the patch. This is a smaller and filler skin line, with most fans waiting for the T1 skins, as well as the Hall of Fame Faker skin to be released.

• Infernal Ashe
• Infernal Karma
• Infernal Olaf

These skins are all Epic skins and cost 1350 RP. The skins were available on May 31, 2024 when the League of Legends patch dropped.
