In this latest update, Riot is planning several updates to champions, items, and game systems. Ambessa, who was recently introduced, will get a few small adjustments. This will allow Riot to closely monitor her strengths and ensure she fits well within the current game meta.
Among the champions getting significant attention in Patch 14.23 is Aurora. Riot intends to reduce her power slightly, particularly for higher-skilled players who can maximize her potential.
Additionally, this update will introduce changes to Bounties and adjustments to items like Youmuu’s Ghostblade, Yun Tal Wildarrows, and The Collector. Youmuu’s Ghostblade and Yun Tal Wildarrows will receive some buffs, while The Collector will be weakened slightly to improve overall balance among these items. Riot wants to make sure that each item offers a distinct advantage without becoming too strong in any one area.
Unfortunately, Riot has yet to provide all the specifics of these adjustments. However, fans can expect Phroxzon to release more detailed notes about Patch 14.23 by Wednesday, November 13. Further details will be shared with the League community, so players should stay tuned for more in-depth information about each change.
As per Riot’s typical update schedule, patch 14.23 is set to launch on Wednesday, November 20, and should bring all of the planned updates to the Summoner’s Rift.
