Changes for Worlds 2024
Many changes coming in patch 14.18 are aimed at balancing the game around professional play. This means changes to champions like Jax, Rell, and Gnar, who have seen a fair amount of play at the highest level.
ADCs in particular are getting nerfed in patch 14.18 thanks to a nerf to Bloodthirster and a rework to Fleet Footwork, leaving the role a bit weaker than they were before. Many of the role’s strongest like Miss Fortune and Smolder are also getting hit with the nerf bat.
Nasus nerfs
Nasus’ E is getting some hefty nerfs to try and reduce his power level in mid lane. If you haven’t been paying attention to the insane mid meta over the last patch or two, this may seem like a strange nerf. It isn’t.
