We’re entering the onset of the 14th season of League of Legends, and this all this said, it doesn’t appear Riot is going to stop anytime soon with the patches.

Here’s all the patch notes for players.
League of Legends Patch 14.17: Full Champion Changes, Patch Notes and More
The next League of Legends patch is going to change up quite a few champions, alongside changing other elements of the game, as this is the case when it comes to most LoL patches.
While these changes are going to be exciting, you’re going to want to be in the know for when they’ll release.
Patch 14.17 is currently slated to release on August 28, and will feature the following changes.

-

Aurora
"As mentioned yesterday, Aurora is a pretty deep mastery champion and is posting pretty good statistics, which indicates she's likely long term too strong when players have mastered her
We're looking to bring down some of the potency of her multi-champion ult casts to hit at some of her Elite skew as we often observe higher skill players using it more effectively than regular players"

We're tapping them down a bit to open up room for other champions"
-
[Q] Thundering Shuriken AP ratio reduced 85% >>> 75%
LeBlanc
"While LB would be a valuable edition to the World's meta, she's overall too strong for solo Q, especially in Elite play

Rumble
-
[P-Overheated] Junkyard Titan - Overheated target's maximum HP on-hit reduced 6% >>> 5%

[R] Dawning Shadow shield AP ratio reduced 70% >>> 50%

-
Cooldown increased 22/21/20/19/18 >>> 22 seconds

Sylas
"Sylas is in a better spot after the buffs to get his numbers into a better spot
We're nerfing his ratios a bit more to make his HP oriented builds a little more competitive (typically have less AP) than the pure burst builds"
-
[W] Kingslayer damage AP ratio reduced 70% >>> 60%
>>> System Nerfs <<<
Absorb Life
-
Heal reduced 1/1.93/2.91/3.93/5/6.11/7.27/8.47/9.72/11.02/12.36/13.74/15.17/16.65/18.17/19.73/21.34/23 >>> 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2/3/4/5/6/7/9/11/13/15/17/19/21/23

-
Warmog's Heart bonus Move Speed reduced 10% >>> 5%

Cost increased 3100 >>> 3300 gold
