LoL 14.10 B-patch buffs Corki and Smolder, nerfs Blackfire Torch

League of Legends Patch 14.10 hasn’t quite gone according to plan, and so Riot Games is deploying a chunky micropatch with buffs and nerfs to champions like Corki, Draven, Samira, and Smolder as well as a half-dozen item changes.

Phreak shared the League micropatch details on X (formerly Twitter) late on May 16, adding alongside the unveiled changes that these were the most significant outliers that desperately needed changing before Patch 14.11. That update, he explained, should have a lot more midseason follow-ups when it arrives on May 30.

While League players have been relatively upset with the poor win rates for some champions out the gates in the May update, Phreak mentioned most characters—including flagged champs like Yone, Yasuo, Gangplank, and Ezreal—aren’t weak; they’re just being built incorrectly, which is why they’re not featured here.

Unless something majorly breaks within the next two weeks, this should hopefully be the last update we see until League Patch 14.11 drops.
