As an avid League of Legends player with over a decade of gaming under my belt, I must say that the release of patch 14.23 has left me both excited and somewhat perplexed. The new Arcane skins based on season 2 are a delightful addition to my collection, but the balance changes have left me scratching my head.
14.23 League of Legends update marks the complete launch of Arcane season 2 by introducing a fresh series of skins inspired by the events depicted in the second season.
Additionally, it brings some of the regular balance changes to champions, items and more.
This area is relatively less dense compared to other parts, even when considering its slender forerunner. There are minor adjustments in various places, but notably, characters Rell and Smolder have undergone significant makeovers once more.
LoL patch 14.23 rundown
LoL patch 14.23 brings buffs to the following champions:
- Azir: Azir’s W ratio AP is higher
- Master Yi: He gets more bonus attack speed from his R
- Miss Fortune: Her Q costs less mana
- Rammus: Rammus’ Q has a shorter cooldown
- Rengar: The armor shred and bonus damage on his R is higher
Meanwhile, nerfs hit a longer list of champs:
- Caitlyn: Caitlyn’s R does less damage
- Kha’Zix: He has less base armor and his evolved W slows isolated targets less
- Kog’Maw: The resistance shred on his Q is lower at early levels, and his E does less damage
- Shyvana: Shyvana has lower MR growth and her E does less damage
- Skarner: His Q does less damage
- Tahm Kench: His AP scaling on his Passive and R are both lower
- Teemo: Teemo’s E damage to monsters is lower
- Zac: Zac does less damage with his Q
Finally, we get some adjustments/reworks to these champs:
- Ambessa: The Q2 cast window is slightly longer, and she gets bugfixes to improve performance
- Aurora: Her passive no longer grants movespeed, which is now on her W instead. Her Q has a longer cooldown and range, does more damage, and her Q2 auto-casts at the end of its recast timer. Her E also has longer range and her R no longer traps enemies (only slows them), and grants similar move speed to her new W
- Jinx: Jinx has higher AD growth, but her W does less damage
- Rell: All her base stats have been reworked. Her passive now deals 5% of her resists as extra magic damage on-hit. Her Q has a shorter stun, her W-dismount now stuns and no longer self-slows, her W-mount has a shorter stun and cooldown, and her E no longer ramps up on its move speed
- Smolder: All Smolder’s abilities are adjusted to shift some of his scaling power away from his stacks and more towards items. Importantly, his R now only deals half damage to minions, reducing his stalling power
Items and other changes
For LoL item changes, patch 14.23 brings the following:
- The Collector gets a price nerf, now costing 50 more gold
- Youmuu’s Ghostblade gets nerfs to ranged users, who now get less movement speed from its passive and active
- Yun Tal Wildarrows receives a buff, costing 100 gold less. Its Flurry also lasts 2 seconds longer and has a 10 second shorter cooldown (40 to 30)
Additionally, there are modifications made to the Bounty system, ensuring it doesn’t unfairly disadvantage the weaker team. In essence, the more powerful team accumulates more bounties, while the losing team receives fewer.
Finally, we get the new Arcane skins:
- Arcane Brawler Vi
- Arcane Commander Caitlyn
- Arcane Shimmer Lab Singed
- Arcane Survivor Jayce
- Prestige Arcane Commander Caitlyn
