Patch 14.22 is here!
Patch 14.22 brings significant updates and reworks to League of Legends, injecting fresh dynamics into the Rift.
Changes to items like Static Shiv are influencing champion preferences and playstyles.
Losers:
Shen steps down from OP-tier after nerfs targeting his passive cooldown and shield.
Graves, especially, benefits from the increased gold efficiency of Ghostblade.
Talons recent buffs have boosted his jungle viability, solidifying him in S-tier.
These adjustments move him up to A-tier, where he can make strong plays, especially in skilled hands.
She now sits in A-tier.
Udyr, another Liandrys Torment jungler, experienced a nerf to his R abilitys max health scaling.
This adjustment weakens his mid-game impact, pushing him down from S-tier to A-tier.
Several mid-lane champions see improvements this patch.
Swains buffs also place him as a consistent choice in A-tier.
Thanks to her top lane buffs, Irelia is a flexible A-tier pick in mid as well.
Meanwhile, Sylas, with decreased health growth, drops from OP-tier to S-tier.
Finally, Syndras W nerfs place her down in A-tier, though she remains a solid pick.
Varuss W on-hit damage buff provides a slight boost, but he remains in B-tier.
Vaynes minor damage increase on her R isnt enough to move her up, so she stays in A-tier.
Sivirs recent buffs and synergy with Essence Reaver have also lifted her to S-tier.
VelKozs reduced cooldowns on his E and R abilities make him a strong pick.
Blitzcranks buff to his E strengthens his role, and Swains buffs make him a solid A-tier choice.
This is how champions stack up in League of Legends Patch 14.22.
With these changes, youll be equipped to master the meta and make the most of your favourite champions.
Keep an eye out for the next patch to see what further adjustments will bring to the Rift!
