League of Legends Patch 14.22 Notes: New Changes, Release Date, and More

[COSMIN]

The upcoming Patch 14.22 preview is here, let’s go over all the changes.

Riot has been ramping up their updates over the last few patches. Starting with the mid-season update Riot has been giving us more and more changes. From the massive item adjustments in Patch 14.10 to the recent Teemo ASU, there has been a lot going on. It looks like Patch 14.22 is set to continue this trend.

Starting off with changes, one of the biggest changes coming to Patch 14.22 is the introduction of Ambessa Medarda. The last time we saw her was in Arcane Season One however starting from the next patch she will be playable in League of Legends. Ambessa is a hypermobile bruiser, capable of swiftly taking down enemies—think K’Sante but Noxian.

There are also other changes too. The Summoner Spell Barrier is getting some much-needed nerfs. Warwick is getting some love and there’s a lot more. So, without further ado let’s get into all the changes.

Passive – Drakehound’s Step

• When Ambessa casts an ability, issuing a move or Attack order will cause her to dash after the Ability finishes. Casting an ability also gives Ambessa a charge, which increases her attack range and speed. Attacks consume a charge to deal additional damage and restore Energy.

Q – Cunning Sweep / Sundering Slam

• Ambessa sweeps her blades forward in a semi-circle, dealing extra damage to enemies at the edge. If you hit an enemy, it readies Sundering Slam.
• Sundering Slam (Recast): Ambessa slams down her blades, dealing bonus damage to the first enemy hit.

W – Repudiation

• Ambessa gains a shield, braces herself, then slams the ground. If she braces herself from damage by an enemy champion, large monster, or structure, she does more damage with her slam.

E – Lacerate

• Ambessa whips her chains in a circle, damaging and briefly slowing enemies. Using Drakehound’s Step (Passive) will trigger an additional strike.

R – Public Execution

• Passive: Ambessa gains Armor Penetration and her Abilities heal her.
• Active: Ambessa becomes unstoppable and blinks to the farthest enemy champion in a line. She suppresses the target before slamming them for damage and a Stun.
