Enchanter Item Changes Impacting Patch 12.14

The enchanter meta is out, or at least it seems like that is what Riot is going for. In the patch notes for this League of Legends patch, the balance team has stated that enchanters were the biggest winners of the durability update back in Patch 12.10 and that now Riot is going to try and make a few targeted changes to support items.

Forbidden Idol Heal and Shield Power Increase: 10% ⇒ 8%
Ardent Censer Heal and Shield Power Increase: 10% ⇒ 8%
Mikael's Blessing Heal and Shield Power Increase: 20% ⇒ 16%
Redemption Heal and Shield Power Increase: 20% ⇒ 16%
Staff of Flowing Water Heal and Shield Power Increase: 10% ⇒ 8%
Moonstone Renewer Maximum Stacks: 5 ⇒ 4

Okay, Items have been nerfed, we get it, but Riot hasn't nerfed these JoJo references in League of Legends yet.

Gangplank Adjustments in LoL Patch 12.14

So, Gangplank has just been a little too good in recent patches, eh? He's basically one of the few champions we see in the pro-scene being played in the top lane as well, so Riot is going to be making some major changes and making sure it isn't as easy to one-shot crit someone with his barrels in the late game. Let's jump into the changes below!

Base Stats	Base Health: 640 ⇒ 600 Health Growth 104 ⇒ 114 Base Armor 35 ⇒ 31

Early Drakes Power Increased in Patch 12.14

With the durability update taking center stage once more, games have tended to go longer than before. This means that early objectives, like the first drake have lost some of their impact in the game. Therefore, Riot has decided to give the early drakes some more agency.

Drakes	Changes in LoL Patch 12.14
Cloud Drake	Attack Damage: 50 ⇒ 35 Cloud Drake Dragon Slayer Buff: 3.5% Slow Resist & Out-of-Combat Movespeed ⇒ 7% Slow Resist & Out-of-Combat Movespeed Cloud Soul Dragon Slayer Buff: 10% bonus move speed and 50% bonus move speed for 6 seconds after casting Ultimate ⇒ 15% bonus move speed and 50% bonus move speed for 6 seconds after casting Ultimate

Infernal Drake	Attack Damage: 100 ⇒ 70 Infernal Drake Dragon Slayer Buff: 4% bonus attack damage and ability power ⇒ 6% bonus attack damage and ability power
Mountain Drake	Attack Damage 150 ⇒ 105 Mountain Drake Dragon Slayer Buff: 6% bonus armor and magic resist ⇒ 9% bonus armor and magic resist
Ocean Drake	Attack Damage: 100 ⇒ 70 Ocean Drake Dragon Slayer Buff: 2% missing health per 5 seconds ⇒ 3% missing health per 5 seconds
Elder Drake	Health: 6400 (+180 per minute) ⇒ 6400 (+290 per minute)
Rift Herald	[NEW] Chonky: Rift Herald now has 75% more health when summoned with Eye of the Herald for the second time [NEW] You All Get Gold: Rift Herald now grants 200 local gold to the team that killed it

Not only are each drake getting a slight change to their buffs, but Riot is also giving each dragon some more updates to increase their popularity.

Percent Current Health Damage on Attacks: 7% ⇒ 5%
Health Pre-Rift Transformation: 2650 (+240 per level) ⇒ 3450 (+380 per level)
Health Post-Rift Transformation: 4350 (+240 per level) ⇒ 6950 (+380 per level)

Champion Skin	Skin Tier	Skin Cost
