What’s changing in League patch 14.14?

Aurora release

Aurora will be joining the League of Legends roster in patch 14.14. A mid-range mid laner mage who’s capable of dipping and dashing around the battlefield, she’ll take some time to learn but will reward players willing to investigate further into this new champion.

Balance changes

As per usual, Patch 14.14 will bring some pretty major shifts to the meta in League of Legends. Champions like Corki and Tristana have dominated the high level meta, so the devs are hitting them with nerfs.
