Hello, Librarian Husky here! Rumble’s Q Damage is receiving a massive nerf. Tristana and Cori are both becoming weaker, while this Zed buff is actually looking pretty impactful. We’ve got all this and so much more to cover as we’re going to be breaking down every single change that Riot has planned for Patch 14.14, which is set to hit live servers July 17th.

Item and Rune Changes

Starting off by covering the Item and Rune Changes, there are just two adjustments planned here. Absorb Life is being nerfed so that its sustain from levels 1-12 is weaker, but its sustain from levels 13-18 is stronger. The whole point of taking Absorb Life is for the early game sustain, so this is without question a net nerf and should put a lot more priority back on Triumph or Presence of Mind for Patch 14.14.

Warmog’s Rush Nerf

Rumble’s Q Damage is becoming weaker as the health required to activate Warmog’s passive is going up from 1300 to 1500. This is really going to hurt supports who rush Warmog’s the most, as it’s going to take much longer to get all that bonus health due to the lower gold income of the role.

Aphelios Q Damage Buff

Aphelios Q Damage on his red, purple, and white guns are all being increased for this patch. AD ratios are going up on all three.

Scaling Buffs for Champions

While the base damage is going to be increased on the purple and white guns, Cho’Gath will receive a few Scaling Buffs with his Q damage being increased from 80 scaling to 320 to 80 scaling to 340. E damage is up as well from 22 scaling to 82 to 20 scaling to 100. The E buff is quite significant, as it’s the spell you max out first, so 18 added damage per hit when you reach level 9 is absolutely amazing.

Jayce’s Poke Power Boost

Jayce is going to be getting a small boost to his poke power for this patch, as his Q base damage is up by five at all ranks while the bonus AD ratio is going from 120 to 125%.

Scion W Damage Increase

Scion W damage is being increased, with the damage based on the target’s health going from 10 scaling to 14% to just a flat 14% at all ranks.

Smolder Q Buff

We’ve got a very simple buff to Smolder Q damage for this patch, as it’s being increased from 15 scaling to 55 to 20 scaling to 60.

Teemo Stealth Improvement

Teemo is going to be able to enter stealth a little bit faster for this coming patch, as Riot has stated you’re going to clock into stealth around 0.125 seconds quicker.

Zed Buffs

Zed is actually getting some pretty impactful buffs for 14.14, with his Q base damage going up by 10 at all ranks and E cooldown refund up from 2 to 3 seconds.

Champion Nerfs

Moving on to the Champion Nerfs, we have a couple of range changes to Bel’Veth, as her base auto range is dropping from 175 to 150, while the bonus range she gets from R is up from 50 to 75.

Brand Nerf

Brand is being nerfed yet again, and this time Riot’s targeting his E, as the base damage is going down by five at all ranks while the cooldown is up by 1 second.

Early Game Punishments

Riot’s looking to punish Corki’s early game even more by reducing his base health from 640 to 610. Jax’s consistent dueling threat is being reduced for the next patch as his E cooldown takes a hit, going from 15 scaling to 9 seconds to 17 scaling to 9 seconds.

Kindred’s Q Nerfs

There are two nerfs being issued to Kindred’s Q. The attack speed ratio is dropping from 35% to 30%, while the AD ratio is going down from 0.75 to 0.65.

Lillia’s Nerfs

Lillia has been the most OP jungler for solo queue in recent patches, so she’s finally getting nerfed. Lillia’s passive healing is being lowered, with the multi-champion healing going down from 33% to 15%.

Needle Cougar Nerfs

Needle Cougar’s W and E damage are both getting nerfed. The base damage on W is dropping from 60 scaling to 210 to 55 scaling to 190. However, there is now going to be a 50% AD ratio on W damage. E base damage is dropping by 10 at all ranks, the AP ratio is down from 45% to 40%, but the AD ratio is going from 40% to 70%.

Rumble’s Q Damage Nerf

Rumble’s Q Damage in the early game is getting absolutely slaughtered, as the base damage is going from 125 scaling to 185 to 80 scaling to 180. The minion modifier, however, is going up from 55 scaling to 75% to a flat 75%, so even though the damage to champions is nerfed hard early on, damage to minions won’t be hit as badly.

Tristana’s Mana Adjustments

Riot’s going with a rather unique change for Tristana, as they’re increasing her base mana from 250 to 350. However, her Q will now have a mana cost, as it’s going from 0 to 50. The W mana cost is being lowered from 60 to 50.

Tristana’s Mana Changes

What this means is that Tristana’s extended laning strength becomes weaker for the next patch, as once you’ve used Q twice, everything from then on out is going to hurt your mana pool more than before.

Zyra’s Plant Damage Nerfs

Zyra’s plant damage is going to be targeted for this patch, as the base damage is dropping from 16 scaling to 84 to 15 scaling to 75, while the AP ratio sees a small boost from 18% to 20%. Plant bonus monster damage is going down as well from 60 scaling to 100 to 50 scaling to 100.

Hecarim Adjustments

A couple of Hecarim adjustments are going live for this patch. Health growth is being increased from 99 to 106. W duration is down from 5 to 4 seconds.
