Patch 14.5’s buffs focus on Rek’Sai. Riot Games is still fine-tuning her kit following major reworks in 14.4 and has even adjusted base metrics like her Attack Windup.

Meanwhile, Kayn will receive a significant Umbral Trespass healing boost and will recover significantly faster in his Darkin Form. Additional buffs, like Sivir’s, are little but important and will satisfy mains.
