League of Legends Patch 14.5 Patch Notes: Champions Nerfs, Buff and System Changes

League of Legends got a big update! It’s called Patch 14.5. This update changes lots of things in the game. It affects champions like Camille and Naafiri. They get stronger or weaker in ARAM mode. Some champions heal less now. This update changes the game a lot. We’ll talk about what’s different and how it might change how people play. Let’s see what’s new in League of Legends Patch 14.5.

ARAM Balance Overhaul

Riot Games made some important changes to champions like Camille and Naafiri in ARAM mode. They did this to make the game better and fairer for everyone playing on the Howling Abyss map. These changes should make the gameplay more enjoyable and balanced for everyone.

Champion Buffs in ARAM

In Patch 14.5, champions like Camille and Naafiri got some upgrades specifically for ARAM mode. Camille’s shielding ability got a bit weaker, but she can use her skills more often with a big increase in ability speed. Likewise, Naafiri now has more ability speed too, which means players can use their champion’s skills more often and better in the game.

ARAM Nerfs for LoL Patch 14.5

On the flip side, some champions like Anivia and Karma got weaker in ARAM mode due to nerfs. Anivia now takes more damage from all attacks, making her easier to defeat. Karma’s ability to deal damage has been lowered too. Additionally, Lulu’s shielding power has been reduced, which changes how teams reliant on poking work in ARAM games.
