Patch 14.5 is here – and while it’s not the largest patch, it packs some serious punch with a total rework of core items, fresh Artifacts, and various balance changes across both Cyber City and Revival: Remix Rumble. Whether you’re in for a full comp reroute or subtle upgrades to your item builds, this update shakes up just enough to keep you on your toes.
🔧 Game Updates
Item Overhaul, Opening Encounter changes, Augment removals – here’s the TL;DR before you drop into your next game.
🎯 What’s Changing
Major Item Update: Core items have been reimagined, rebalanced, and in some cases, repurposed as Artifacts for increased power and fantasy clarity.
Cyber City gets a balance nudge; Remix Rumble keeps jammin’ with trait and champ tuning.
Some Augments and Opening Encounters are being retired due to bugs or design issues.
Cosmetics have a simplified rarity structure for cleaner clarity.
🐛 Bug Fixes (Live)
Anger Issues and Category Five Augments are now properly disabled.
Support Cache will no longer offer a null item.
🧪 A-Patch Quick Fixes (May 28th)
A-Patch = emergency tuning, applied shortly after the main patch goes live.
Morgana Bastion Nerfs:
Bastion Armor & MR: 18/40/75 +30 → 18/36/70 +25
Bastion Emblem AP conversion: 20% → 15%
This targets the overperforming Morgana Bastion (6) variant, aiming to reduce its mid-game tank wall status.
🎁 Cosmetic Overhaul
Rare and Epic Little Legends (pre-14.5) now fall under a single Standard tier.
Three-star content = non-upgradable Little Legends and Booms.
🌀 Systems Adjustments
Two Opening Encounters have been disabled:
Upgraded Start (too snowbally with 2-star 2-cost champs + random items).
To Split or Not to Split (bugged logic removed the dilemma).
Increased odds for other Opening Encounters:
Fourth Augment: +1.5% to +1.5% across stages
Invested, Prismatic Opener/Finale, Crab Rave: slight % boosts
Anima Visage → The Indomitable (new Artifact)
🛠️ Item Rework & Artifact Expansion
⭐ Highlights:
Rageblade now scales with time, not on-hit AS – promotes diversity and removes over-scaling.
Striker’s Flail is the new Guardbreaker – crit to amp damage instead of relying on shield procs.
Kraken’s Fury = Archangel’s Staff, but for AD champs.
Spirit Visage replaces Redemption – self-sustain, not team-wide healing.
Sterak’s Gage offers a beefier shield and is more noticeable.
Statikk Shiv moves to Artifact territory – Void Staff fills its role for AOE MR shred.

| Item | Key Stats / Effects |
|---|---|
| Guinsoo’s Rageblade | 10 AP, 10% AS → +7% AS per second |

🌈 Radiant Item Upgrades

Radiant Void Staff: MR shred now lasts entire combat
Radiant Sterak’s: MegaShield – 100% max HP shield at 60% health
