What’s changing in LoL patch 14.3?

Item Changes

Riot is beefing up some items, like those used by attack-speed-reliant champions in the bot lane, to better contest with burst champions. The developer is also reducing the power of AP burst damage items and proc damages to reduce the amount of burst overall in the game.

Riot’s anti-cheat, Vanguard, was supposed to be added to League of Legends in the previous patch. However, some “critical bugs” kept the developer from implementing it at that time. The process for implementing the system will start with this patch.

Players will have their computers checked during this update to see if it is ready to install Vanguard. The system will actually be installed on to player’s devices in patch 14.5.
