Buffs Coming Ahri and Karma in Patch 8.14 for League of Legends

League of Legends has been through quite a lot of significant changes the last few months, as the balance team forces everyone to adapt to the wild and unpredictable changes to the Meta. Recently, Riot game designer ricklessabandon took to twitter to give fans a little preview of some upcoming changes to a couple of champions, including the popular yet neglected Assassin/Mage Ahri.

The changes proposed to Ahri would affect her E ability, Charm, with the cost being lowered from 85 mana to 70. Additionally, its duration would go from 1 second at rank 1 – 2 seconds at rank 5, to 1.4 seconds at rank 1 – 2 seconds at rank 5. This should give her a little more early game power and hopefully allow her to compete with the other top picks in the mid lane right now.

going to try to get some ahri changes out to the pbe in the next update (early next week)

These weren’t the only notes teased however, with Karma also getting a lot of attention. The proposed changes for Karma include a lot of general changes to her base stats, as well as a few to her current abilities including making the splash zone for her Q ability, Inner Flame, a bit bigger.

putting together some karma buffs for 8.14 and still kind of figuring out what makes the most sense for right now (given that we'd still like to do a small update for her in the future)

These changes should land next week along with the rest of the balance changes with patch 8.14. Fingers crossed the Meta isn’t shaken up too much by the new changes. For more League of Legends news, check out the results from the Rift Rivals tournament that took place over the weekend, here.
