Patch 12.14 is scheduled to hit live servers on July 27, containing a system change that nerfed how attack damage scales per champion star levels, along with significant trait and Draconic Augment nerfs and buffs. The patch appears more extensive on paper than what players may notice regarding meta changes, according to game designer director Stephen “Mortdog” Mortimer and game designer Kent “Riot Kent” Wu. 

Several notable nerfs were applied to champions like Xayah, Varus, and Nidalee from the AD system change. Traits like Cavalier, Warrior, and Dragonmancer were buffed slightly. Item distribution at Stage 2-7 Krugs was adjusted to guarantee at least one item. Armory timers were added as a quality of life change, and players in Double Up with a full bench can now open Orbs containing champions from Rune of Allegiance if it results in a champion increasing to the next star level.
