League of Legends Patch 14.10 Preview: Full Patch Notes, Champion Changes and More

We’re entering the onset of the 14th season of League of Legends, and this all this said, it doesn’t appear Riot is going to stop anytime soon with the patches.

Now, the full patch release calendar is here, and the next patch on the slate is 14.10.

Here’s what will be coming for players during this patch. 

League of Legends Patch 14.10 Preview: Full Patch Notes, Champion Changes and More

Champions

Cassiopeia

• Magical Footwear gets replaced with:   Triple Tonic –> Cash Back (due to their rows being shuffled around)

Corki

• has midscope (see Phreak’s rundown here)
• stats:
  • health:  610 +103  –>  640 +100
  • base AD:  61 –> 55
  • armor:  28 +4.7 –> 30+4.5
  • attack speed base:  0.638 –> 0.644
  • attack speed ratio:  0.638 –> 0.644
  • acq range:  500 –> 550
• P:
  • Package removed
  • no longer converts 80% of the attack to magic damage
  • now deals 15% of the attack as additional true damage
    • this also applies to crits and spellblade procs
• Q:
  • missile speed:  1000 –> 1100
  • missile min travel time:  0.25s –> 0.227s
  • cooldown:  8s all ranks –> 9s-7s
  • cost:  60-100 –> 60-80
  • bAD scaling:  70% –> 80%
• W:
  • tick rate:  0.25s –> 0.5s  (total damage over 2.5s unchanged)
  • now has a minimum range of 300 (max range unchanged at 600)
  • cost:  80 all ranks –> 80-100
• E:
  • cooldown:  16s –> 12s
  • cost:  50 all ranks –> 50-70
  • damage type:  50% physical, 50% magic –> 100% physical
  • total damage over 4s:  120-320 +240% bAD  –>  100-300 +200% bAD
  • resists shred:  up to 8-20 after 8 ticks  –>  up to 12-24 after 4 ticks
    • note that despite only being physical damage now, the spell still shreds both armor and magic resist
• R:
  • damage type:  magic –> physical
  • cost:  20 –> 35
  • max ammo:  7 –> 4
  • ammo granted when first ranked:  1 –> 2
  • ammo recharge time:  12s / 11s / 10s  –>  20s all ranks
  • basic attacks against champions now refund 5s of ammo recharge time
    • this refund can “crit” (crits instead refund 5s * total crit damage)
    • this results in 8.75s without iedge and 11.25s with iedge
  • the refund is actually on-hit and not on-attack, which means:
    1. there’s a bit of an unintuitive delay between your attack and your refund
    2. Guinsoo’s and Runaan’s also trigger the refund multiple times with one attack (and accounts for Runaan’s also critting)
    3. the refund can be denied by dodge and miss (although block still triggers it)
  • damage:
    • base:  80 / 115 / 150  –>  100 / 200 / 300
    • AD scaling:  25% / 50% / 75%  total  –>  70% bonus all ranks
    • AP scaling:  12% –> removed
    • big one multiplier:  x2.0 these values (unchanged)

Sett

• E now deals 100 bonus damage to monsters

Tryndamere

• P crit chance at 100 Fury:  40% –> 50%

Yasuo

• P crit chance multiplier:  x2.5 –> x2.0
• P excess crit to bAD conversion:  x0.4 –> x0.5
  • e.g. having 110% crit chance gives 4 –> 5 bAD

Yone

• P crit chance multiplier:  x2.5 –> x2.0
• P excess crit to bAD conversion:  x0.4 –> x0.5
  • e.g. having 110% crit chance gives 4 –> 5 bAD 

Summoners

Barrier

• migrated to use data values instead of effect amounts
• shield:  105-411 linear for 2.0s  –>  120-480 linear for 2.5s

Cleanse

• migrated to use data values instead of effect amounts
• lingering tenacity:  65% for 3.0s  –>  75% for 3.0s
• cooldown:  210s –> 240s

Exhaust

• migrated to use data values instead of effect amounts
• slow:  30% –> 40%
• cooldown:  210s –> 240s

Ghost

• duration:  15s –> 10s
• cooldown:  210s –> 240s

Heal

• ally heal range:  835 –> 900

Ignite

• migrated to use data values instead of effect amounts
• otherwise unchanged

Items

Lethality was always a proper stat for champions (in the sense that it’s not a fake stat handled by scripts reusing flat armor pen) but it was never a proper stat for items (which instead had to grant you the lethality stat in their scripts). Now items can innately support the lethality stat, which simplifies their implementations. Unless stated otherwise, no item has had their actual lethality value changed.

There is also a new type of game calculation that inherently supports melee/ranged splits (previously work to simplify these was tooltip only, presumably this new calc also takes care of that tooltip fixup as well).

Runes

Precision

• damage amp:  +8% to all damage (including allies) to the target for 6s  –>  +8% to your damage to all targets for 5s, refreshing in combat
• cooldown:  6s after triggering –> 5s out of combat

Lethal Tempo

• healing:  10-130 linear –> 8-110 linear
  • minions still reduce effectiveness to x0.2 for melee and x0.1 ranged
• speed duration:  1.0s –> 1.25s

Overheal

Absorb Life

• new rune
• row:  1
• killing a target heals you for 2-17 linear.

Legend Tenacity

Legend Haste

• new rune
• row 2
• gain 1.5 AH for every Legend stack (max 15 AH at 10 stacks)

Cut Down

• damage amp:  5%-15% at >10%-100% target health advantage  –>  8% at >60% target health

Domination

Predator

Hail of Blades

• attack speed:  110% always  –>  110% melee, 80% ranged

Sudden Impact

• cooldown:  4s –> 10s
• no longer grants hybrid pen for 4s after any damage within 5s following mobility/stealth
• now deals 20-80 linear true damage after the next attack or ability damage within 4s following mobility/stealth

Ingenious Hunter

Relentless Hunter

• starting out of combat speed:  5 –> 0 

Resolve

Font of Life

• impairing movement no longer applies an onhit heal over time for allies
• impairing movement now heals you and the lowest health nearby ally for 10-50 linear, x0.7 for ranged “users” (presumably this means if the Font of Life owner is melee/ranged then the ally gets x1.0/x0.7 regardless of the ally’s range type?)

Inspiration

First Strike

• damage amp:  7% –> 8%
• base gold:  5 –> 15
• melee gold from bonus damage:  100% –> 50%
• ranged gold from bonus damage:  70% –> 35%

Future’s Market

Cash Back

• new rune
• row:  1
• get 6% gold back when you purchase legendary items
• there’s some other unknown data values for “150” and “-150” but not sure what they mean, could be minimum refunds? or maybe just leftover

Triple Tonic

Time Warp Tonic

• row:  3 –> 2
• no longer works on biscuits
• no longer works on mana (reminder that Corrupting Potion is removed)
• no longer grants 2% tMS while the potion is active
• immediate potion health restore:  30% –> 40%
• clarification:  the immediate 40% heal is actually in addition to the 100% healing over time, instead of just shifting 40% to immediate and distributing the remaining 60% over time
  • this was already the intent of this new version, despite the tooltip not being updated accordingly to make this clear (it really just needs an “additional” in there)

Minion Dematerializer

Jack of All Trades

• new rune
• row:  3
• for each different stat gained from items, gain one Jack stack. Each stack grants you 1 AH. Gain 10 or 25 bonus adaptive force at 5 and 10 stacks (i.e. does not add them together for a total of 35).

 

Systems

minion xp splits:

• solo:  95% base xp
• group split evenly:  116% base xp –> 124% base xp
• this system has had a bug for a while where an index out of bounds check goes wrong, resulting in 5 recipients triggering a fallback behavior and actually splitting by 20% each instead of the intended 23.2% each
• interestingly, the data now defines a new split for 6 recipients, which would normally not matter, but might be sufficient to correct the mistaken belief that 5 recipients is out of bounds (of course, correctly the bounds check itself would still be preferable)

bounties:

• “death streak penalty”:  0.2 –> 0.25  (no idea what this actually controls)
