And since then, the developer has made even more adjustments to the game. In LoL Patch 14.4, the focus is bringing balance to <a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.gl\/blog\/summoners-rift-lol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Summoner&#8217;s Rift<\/a>. Put on those reading glasses and prepare for all the balance changes and gameplay adjustments in LoL Patch 14.4!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong> <em>The details discussed in this guide to patch 14.4 are subject to change.

You can see Riot Games\u2019 patching schedule below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Oceanic at 10:00 AEST<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>North America at 13:00 PST<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Europe East at 03:00 CET<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Europe West at 05:00 GMT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>South Korea at 08:00 KST<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And yes, we know that LoL usually updates on a Wednesday. However, we suspect that Riot pushed the release back a day (Thursday, Feb. 22) because of a US holiday (President&#8217;s Day) on the 19th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New Skins &amp; Prices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>More skins from the Porcelain skin line appear in Patch 14.4, adding to the Lunar New Year theme. Below, you can find a full list of the skins and their prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Porcelain Graves (Epic) for 1,350 RP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Porcelain Morgana (Epic) for 1,350 RP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Porcelain Irelia (Epic) for 1,350 RP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Porcelain Darius (Epic) for 1,350 RP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Porcelain Miss Fortune (Epic) for 1,350 RP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Porcelain Aurelion Sol (Legendary) for 1,820 RP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prestige Porcelain Kindred for 2,000 Event Tokens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lethal Tempo Rune Change<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s been a long while coming, but Riot Games has finally reduced the power of the Lethal Tempo Rune.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Melee Attack Speed per stack adjusted 9-13.5% &gt;&gt;&gt; 5-16% (based on levels 1-18)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The nerf is welcome, mostly because it was just too powerful for melee champions in the early game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Patch 14.4 Support Item Changes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To improve early lane gameplay and make support items more consistent throughout a match, Riot has made several changes (buffs and nerfs) that you can view below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>World Atlas &#8211; Quest<\/strong> adjustments:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recharge time increased 18 &gt;&gt;&gt; 20 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First charge time reduced 2:08 &gt;&gt;&gt; 1:50<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Runic Compass &#8211; Quest<\/strong> recharge time increased 18 &gt;&gt;&gt; 20 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bounty of Worlds<\/strong> buffs:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HP increased 100 &gt;&gt;&gt; 200<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Health Regeneration increased 50% &gt;&gt;&gt; 75%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mana Regeneration increased 50% &gt;&gt;&gt; 75%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now matches the upgrade stat values<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bloodsong<\/strong> &#8211; <strong>Spellblade<\/strong> increased damage ratio reduced 10\/6% &gt;&gt;&gt; 10\/5% (melee\/ranged)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Solstice Sleigh<\/strong> &#8211; <strong>Going Sledding<\/strong> adjustments:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bonus movement speed adjusted 90 flat decaying over 4 seconds &gt;&gt;&gt; 30% decaying over 3 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Healing adjusted 120 flat &gt;&gt;&gt; 7% max HP<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zaz&#8217;Zak&#8217;s Realmspike<\/strong> &#8211; <strong>Void Explosion<\/strong> adjustments:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Damage adjusted 50 (+15% AP) (+3% target max HP) &gt;&gt;&gt; 20 (+20% AP) (+4% target max HP)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cooldown adjusted 9-6 (based on levels 1-18) &gt;&gt;&gt; 8\/7\/6 (based on levels 1\/11\/16) seconds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The developers noted that Ranged support items are overperforming a bit, which is why there are slight nerfs, as you can see from the Bloodsong change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>System &amp; Item Changes in Patch 14.4<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Riot is also making gameplay system changes and item changes in this patch. Interestingly, fountain regen has been increased from 2.1% &gt;&gt;&gt; 2.6% per tick, which translates to 10.4% per second after the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re also seeing some tentative buffs to Black Cleaver&#8217;s Carve, Ravenous Hydra&#8217;s lifesteal, and some Juxtaposition buffs for Terminus. Mana Mage items have received buffs, too, namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Archangel&#8217;s Staff and Seraph&#8217;s Embrace Ability Haste increased 20 &gt;&gt;&gt; 25<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Luden&#8217;s Companion Ability Haste increased 20 &gt;&gt;&gt; 25<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Force of Arms (Masterwork Item) Ability Haste increased 30 &gt;&gt;&gt; 35<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malignance Ability Haste increased 20 &gt;&gt;&gt; 25<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enmity of the Masses (Masterwork Item) Ability Haste increased 30 &gt;&gt;&gt; 35<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the biggest focus of Patch 14.4 remains the champion balance changes, which brings us to the next section of this guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Champion Balance Changes in Patch 14.4<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll find all the champion buffs, nerfs, and huge adjustments for K&#8217;Sante, Rek&#8217;Sai, and <a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.io\/blog\/smolder-build-lol\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"303\" title=\"Smolder build\">Smolder<\/a> in the relevant sections below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Champion Buffs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight champions received buffs in Patch 14.4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ahri:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>HP per level increased 96 &gt;&gt;&gt; 104<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[Q] Orb of Deception AP ratio increased 45% &gt;&gt;&gt; 50%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jayce:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Base AD increased 57 &gt;&gt;&gt; 59<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[Hammer-W] Lightning Field buffs:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mana restore increased 10\/12\/14\/16\/18\/20 &gt;&gt;&gt; 15\/17\/20\/21\/23\/25<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Base damage per tick increased 35\/50\/65\/80\/95\/110 &gt;&gt;&gt; 40\/55\/70\/85\/100\/115<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[Hammer-E] Thundering Blow now Roots target on cast similar to Lee Sin [R] Dragon&#8217;s Rage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kai&#8217;Sa:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>[R] Killer Instinct range increased 1500\/2250\/3000 &gt;&gt;&gt; 2000\/2500\/3000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lulu &amp; Pix:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>[Q] Glitterlance second bolt damage increased 25% &gt;&gt;&gt; 50%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>[E] Help, Pix!
