League Of Legends 25.14 Patch Notes – Kled Rework!

Patch 25.14 is landing this Wednesday, July 16th, and it’s a spicy one. We’ve got buffs, nerfs, item shakeups, and one of the most massive champion reworks we’ve seen in a long time. If you’re looking to stay ahead of the meta and not get blindsided in your next ranked game, this breakdown is for you.

Let’s dive straight into the chaos.

Item Changes – ADC Meta Shake Incoming?

Blade of the Ruined King Buffed

One of the best on-hit items just got juicier.

• Melee: On-hit current health damage increased from 8% → 9%
• Ranged: 5% → 6%

Expect champs like Vayne, Warwick, and Kog’Maw to get a nice little boost here.

Kraken Slayer Buffed

• Proc damage scaling: 1–1.5% → 1–1.75% missing health
• Cost reduced: 3100 → 3000 gold

The new damage amp makes this a more attractive rush option for late-game hypercarries.

Phantom Dancer Buffed

• Attack Speed: 60% → 65%
• Movement Speed: 8% → 10%

Lucian, Samira, and Tryndamere mains, you’re going to love this one.

Rod of Ages Buffed

• Flat Mana: 400 → 500
• Mana per Stack: 20 → 30
• Max Mana: 600 → 800

RoA mid laners like Kassadin, Ryze, and Swain just got way tankier and way more sustained.

Haunting Guise Nerfed

• Stacking removed: You can now only own one Haunting Guise.
  Say goodbye to the pro player tech of stacking them for raw stats. That abuse case is closed.

Unsealed Spellbook Nerfed (Supports Only)

• Smite damage per swap:
  • Second swap: 900 → 600
  • Third swap: 1200 → 900

Spellbook support cheese is being dialed back hard.

Champion Buffs – Mages and Bruisers Get Love

Azir

• Base Health: 550 → 575
• W AP Ratio: 40–60% → 45–65%

Darius

• Q Healing (Missing HP): 15–45% → 17–51%
  Better sustain in drawn-out fights.

Fiora

• R Healing: Always 100%, regardless of vitals hit
  A big quality of life buff. Duels just became easier.

Fizz

• W Cooldown: 7–5s → 7–3s
• E AP Ratio: 90% → 95%

Ziggs

• Q Base Damage & AP Ratio: Up
• E AP Ratio: Down early, up late
• R Base Damage: Up at ranks 2 and 3
• R AP Ratio: Down from 110% → 100%

Ziggs bot lane buffs? Yeah, it’s happening again.

Champion Nerfs – Meta Picks Hit Hard

Braum

• Base Armor: 47 → 42
  Still tanky, just slightly less obnoxious.

Lee Sin

• Base AD: 69 → 66
  Jungle Lee mains might feel this in early trades.

Riven

• Passive AD Ratio: 30–60% → 30–50%

Sett

• Armor Growth: 5.2 → 4.7

Twisted Fate

• Q Damage: -10 at all ranks

Yasuo

• AD Growth: 3 → 2.5
  Finally getting nerfed after his recent rise in popularity.

Yuumi

• R Heal AP Ratio: 15% → 10%
  Let’s be honest. This alone makes it a great patch.

Zoe

• Q Base Damage (Rank 1): 57 → 52
• W Base Damage: -15 at all ranks
• W AP Ratio: 40% → 45%

A trade-off, but overall early game Zoe got nerfed.

🐎 Kled Overhaul – One of the Biggest Champ Adjustments in Years

We’re not exaggerating when we say this patch is nearly half Kled changes. Here’s the TL;DR:

Passive – Skaarl & Remount

• Remount healing is now instant, not delayed
• Gains bonus resistances scaling with bonus HP, boosted by nearby enemies
• Courage from minions: 4 → 5
• Takedown courage bonus: Removed
• Dismounted AD Penalty: Lowered to 15% scaling to 0%
• Dismounted Move Speed Penalty: Reduced
• Bonus MS Range: 1000 → 1200 units
• Remount Health: 45–75% → 40–70%
• Skaarl Base Health: Lower scaling

Q – Beartrap on a Rope

• Tether AD Ratio: 65% → 60%
• No longer applies Grievous Wounds
• Slow: Nerfed
• Slow Duration: Buffed
• Multiple QoL and bug fixes

Q (Dismounted)

• Recharge Timer: 20–7.25s → 18–10s
• Pallet AD Ratio: 80% → 65%

W – Violent Tendencies

• Cooldown: 11–5s → 13–9s
• Attacks reduce CD by 1.5s (0.5s vs minions)
• Bonus AD Ratio: 5% → 2%
• Now scales with 0.4% bonus HP
• Attack speed isn’t consumed on wards anymore
• Can’t be interrupted mid-combo by CC like charms or taunts

E – Jousting

• Bonus AD Ratio: 65% → 55%
• Plus some polish and fixes

R – Chaaaaaaaarge!!!

• Damage Type: Physical → Magic
• Min Damage: 4–6% → 4–8% max HP
• Max Damage: 12–18% → 12–24% max HP
• AD Ratio: 4% → 3%
• More QoL and bug fixes

TL;DR: Kled is being shifted away from AD-heavy builds and pushed toward health-stacking bruiser setups. He’s tankier, more reliable, and harder to burst—but less oppressive with pure damage builds.

Patch 25.14 Is a Big One

Between the Kled mini-rework, big-ticket item buffs, and nerfs to high-impact solo queue champs like Yasuo, Zoe, and Lee Sin, Patch 25.14 is definitely going to shake things up.
