Swarm changes in LoL 14.15 update

These changes shipped with LoL patch 14.15. This same update nerfs Skarner and Aurora on the core League of Legends game modes. To see those changes, head over here.

Champion changes

A lot of these are technically bug fixes. While it's not documented in the full patch notes, players can no longer cast Recall using their mouse. So long, unlimited Illaoi tentacles.

  • Buff: Fish Frenzy (E) damage reduction is now doubled from 25% to 50% when Briar is below 50% health. This effect previously occurred when Briar was below 30% health and wasn’t included in the tooltip due to an oversight.
  • Bugfix: Savage Slice (weapon evolve) no longer loses its ability to apply bleed when Briar dies.
  • Buff: E now detonates existing hex marks on cast
  • Buff: Now gains Untargetability during R casts
  • Bugfix: Aurora would no longer remain targetable while teleporting between sides of her ultimate
  • Buff: Tentacle length now scales with Area Size

    • Base Area Size: 250 >>> 200
    • Base duration: 4 >>> 2.5
  • Buff: Now properly multicasts Cyclonic Slicers, Ani-mines, Battle Bunny Crossbow, and Searing Shortbow
  • Bugfix: No longer permanently loses her ability to slow enemies when she dies
  • QoL/Nerf: Passive move speed is no longer multiplicative (at higher MS values she would lose control of her character by going too fast)
  • Buff: Shield of Daybreak Cooldown: 3/2.75/2.5/2.25/2/1.75 >>> 2.75/2.5/2.25/2/1.75/1.5
