Key Changes in Patch 14.8
Voidgrub Buffs
In Patch 14.8, Voidgrubs are set to receive a series of buffs as Riot aims to place more emphasis on them as a neutral jungle objective. These enhancements include an increase in damage with the Touch of the Void buff and a reduction in the number of Voidgrubs required to summon them in the lane.
Champion Adjustments: Mordekaiser
Mordekaiser is also undergoing changes in this patch. The cooldown for his Obliterate (Q) ability is being reduced from 9-4 seconds to 8-4 seconds. However, the base damage for his Death’s Grasp (E) ability is being reduced from 80-140 to 70-130.
System Changes: Voidgrubs
The system changes for Voidgrubs include an increase in the Touch of the Void damage per stack from 6/3 to 8/4 and a reduction in the number of stacks required to summon a Void Grub from 5 to 4.
While these are the early notes for Patch 14.8, it’s important to note that these changes are subject to further adjustments before the final release. As we approach the release date, the League of Legends community eagerly awaits the official patch notes for a comprehensive overview of all the changes.
