League of Legends’ latest patch, 9.14, is a big one, not only featuring a bunch of tweaks to Teamfight Tactics, but a whole lot of balance changes for champions in the regular game mode.
The Arcade event is still in full swing, with the second part launching this patch, alongside Demacia Vice Garen and Lucian. If you’re grinding for that Prestige Arcade Caitlyn skin, keep at it.
Champions are also being balanced more to counter annoying mechanics, like shields, heals, mobility, and more. This means that picks like Blitzcrank and Renekton will serve as better counters against say, a Janna or Lulu. Katarina will put that pesky Soraka in her place and Morgana will tell a shrouded Akali to sit back down.
For Riot Games’ full patch notes click here. For our tl;dr breakdown, we have that here for you. If you’re here just to check out Teamfight Tactics patch notes, you can find them here.
Anti-Shielding Champions
Blitzcrank’s and Renekton’s new anti-shielding effect specifically break damage-absorbing shields.

Empowered W now breaks shields on targets before dealing damage and stunning.
W - Ruthless Predator
[NEW] BREAKING GLASS ANGRILY :: Destroys existing shields on targets when empowered with 50 Fury before its existing effects (damage and stun)
Anti-Healing Champions
While all other current healing reduction sources in the game cap out at 40%, Katarina’s and Kled’s will be at 60%, making them uniquely powerful and better than items like Executioner’s Calling against specific healing team comps.
Katarina
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/16202247/Katarina_Splash_11.jpg)

Q - Bear Trap on a Rope
[NEW] BEETS ARE FOR BEARS:: Pulling in an enemy reduces all healing on them by 60% for 5 seconds
Flat Damage Reduction Champions
Leona and Fizz will now be a little stronger against opponents with “death by a thousand cuts” types of damage patterns, like on-hit and DoT champions.
Fizz
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/11601975/Fizz_Splash_2.0.jpg)
Passive reduces all sources of damage.
Passive - Nimble Fighter
DAMAGE REDUCTION :: 4/6/8/10/12/14 (levels 1/4/7/10/13/16) against basic attacks >>> 4 (+0.01 ability power) against all sources of damage (maximum of 50% reduction)

R - Solar Flare

While these abilities already provide true sight, we’re taking them a step further and extending the true sight effect beyond these champions’ abilities’ tethers and into the complete CC.

R - Soul Shackles
[NEW] ALL-SEEING EYE :: Soul Shackles now reveals successfully stunned targets for the duration of the root as well
Anti-Mobility Champions
Because mobility is such a prominent feature on many mainstay champions, we’re increasing the power and number of anti-mobility options players have against them. This should open up more opportunities for Ahri, Cassiopeia, and Poppy to outplay their slippier opponents without increasing their overall power.
Ahri

Death Recap
The new Death Recap is now live! This new and improved version includes damage type breakdowns, fight duration, and CC duration. Clicking the Recap will allow you to expand and see additional details on damage sources. We still have some more improvements planned for the future, so stay tuned. In the meantime, get in the game and see it for yourself!
Show [Allied] Chat
We’ve added a new option under Settings>Interface>Chat that will now allow you to mute your allies’ chats. There is now a separate checkbox for “Show [Allied] Chat” next to the already existing “Show [All] Chat”. Both settings will be checked by default, but players can now uncheck both to mute both enemies’ and teammates’ chats permanently, or until they’re turned back on. However, unchecking both will not mute the pre- and post-game chat, but we’ve heard your requests and are considering including those in the future!
