Preview of future PBE balancing LOL 14.5
The developers responsible for the balance in League of Legends have announced List of champions and game mechanics Which will undergo adjustments, with the next update 14.5, improvements, power reduction or balance. This update is currently being tested on the PBE and should be deployed to the live servers next week, around Wednesday March 6. Although the full list of changes is still awaited, it is confirmed that Smolder, one of the players’ favorite champions, will undergo certain adjustments in this patch.
