LoL 14.6 Patch Champion Buffs
Cho'Gath
Feral Scream (W)
- Cooldown: 13-9 ⇒ 11-9
Vorpal Spikes (E)
- Spike Damage: 22-70 ⇒ 22-82
Ornn
Making Ornn items is technically difficult than for Riot, to the point that it's unsustainable for them to keep making them in the manner that they have been doing it. Riot needs a new system for making Ornn items. While they're working on them, they're giving him a buff.
Searing Charge (E)
- Cooldown: 16-12 ⇒ 14-12
Shen
Ki Barrier (Passive)
- Cooldown Refund: 4-7.5, linear level scaling, buffs levels 2-17, especially 8-16
Sion
Decimating Smash (Q)

Tryndamere
Tryndamere will receive a buff in Patch 14.6. Similarly to Sion, Trynda is suffering from a low win rate and maybe this will give him a much needed boost.

Diana
Attack Speed Ratio: .625 ⇒ .694
Attack Speed Growth: 2.25 ⇒ 2%, lv 1 AS Unchanged

Certain Death (R)

Smolder
Riot underestimated the Smolder changes in the last patch, especially how much the E damage did in particular. The hotfix nerfs pulled him back halfway, but the team is looking to pull back a bit more, similar to his previous power level, but with the feels improvements from the changes. Smolder is certainly in frustrating territory right now, but Rioters think that's mainly due to his power level exacerbating an otherwise balanceable champion, rather than due to any specific unbalanceable underlying issue, such as true damage, scaling, etc.
Super Scorcher Breath (Q)
- 225 stack execute threshold: 7.625% + 0.025% ⇒ 6.5%, no scaling
Achooo! (W)

Senna
Mist Wraith pawn rate on minion kill: 8.333% ⇒ 2.8%
Volibear
Thundering Smash (Q)

Gragas
Base Health: 670 ⇒ 640

LoL 14.6 Patch Champion Adjustments

Winds of War

Shield of Druand (W)
- Damage Reduction: 25-35% (+ 5% per 100 AP) (+ 12% per 100 bonus MR) ⇒ 20-40% (+ 4% per 100 AP) (+ 8% per 100 bonus MR) (+ 1% per 100 HP)
- Base Damage: 20-80 ⇒ 20-60
Justice Punch (E)
- Base Damage: 90-250 ⇒ 75-235
- Non-champ damage: 50% ⇒ 80%
Galio's builds have trended towards heavy glass cannon ever since the new item changes. Riot will make his pattern more fun and with more spellcasts, while being a bit more durable. His mid will be kept powerful and not move his primary role to support, but he won't be as strong as he used to be.

- Locks out items during animation (Profane Hydra)
Reaping Slash - Rhaast (Q)
- Damage : 65% total AD + 5% (+ 3.5% bonus AD) Target Max HP ⇒ 65% total AD + 6% (+ 3.5% bonus AD) Target Max HP
