LoL 14.7 Patch Notes Details – Galio Comeback, Champions & Items Changes
Yuriy SheremetThe controlled evolution of League of Legends continues with the release of patch 14.7 in the game. Riot Games have introduced quite a few changes to their MOBA, but this update isn't exactly global.
The main changes in patch 14.7 were focused on champion rebalancing: 15 champions were affected, with 10 receiving buffs, 4 receiving nerfs, and one being slightly altered. In this article, we will discuss all the changes in LoL with patch 14.7, as well as take a look at what will happen with the items in patch 14.7. And of course, we'll also look at the new skins that are already available in the League of Legends client.
Patch 14.7 – Skarner VGU release date date
Perhaps the biggest addition to League of Legends patch 14.7 will be the VGU release for Skarner. We previously covered this update in this article, and now you can appreciate the redesigned scorpion yourself in your Summoner’s Rift games.
Patch 14.7 champion buffs
With patch 14.7, 10 champions were immediately boosted in the game. Among them are those who did not enjoy serious popularity since the start of the 14th season, as well as examples like Smolder, who continues to "swing on the swings" from buff to nerf and vice versa. The most significant upgrade was received by Galio, who has been struggling since the beginning of the season after the removal of Everfrost.

Patch 14.7 champions nerfs
In patch 14.7, 4 champions fell under the knife of the developers. Among them are the omnipresent Volibear, who has become a jungle and top lane nightmare, Fiora and Rek'Sai, who are also too comfortable in the top lane, as well as Rell, who has frequented the jungle position.

Camile adjustment
In patch 14.7, unlike patch 14.6 with three such changes, only Camille received a local rework. The main reason for such a rework is her return to her roots: with the start of the 14th season, Camille significantly declined in the top lane and became a support, but now Riot aims to change the direction and return the duelist to the solo lane.

Item changes
The item changes will mainly affect support role champions. This is all due to the overly noticeable damage from supports (magical) that they were dealing immediately after getting their first item.
Zaz’Zak’s Realmspike
- Void Explosion Damage: 20 (+20%AP) (+4% Target Max HP) – 10 (+20% AP) (+3% Target Max HP)
- Cooldown: 8/7/6 at level 1/11/16 – 10
Bloodsong
- Spellblade AD Ratio: 150% – 100%
- Current HP Damage: 12% – 10%
Statikk Shiv
- Total Cost: 2700 – 2900
World Atlas
- Excessive Minion Kill Threshold: 20 minions in 5 minutes –20 minions (divided by the number of support items on your team) in 5 minutes. This update applies to all support items.
- For additional clarity this would be 10 minions over 5 minutes if two people on your team have World Atlas, then 7 minions over 5 minutes if three people have it, etc.
