As a seasoned League of Legends player with over a decade under my belt, I must say this update has certainly piqued my interest! The changes to Ahri’s abilities seem to be a welcome balance between her offensive and defensive capabilities. Reducing the active range and cooldown while introducing a 30% reduction when no enemy is found seems like a smart move. The removal of the combat CD and the adjustments to her cooldown mechanics overall appear well thought out.
In the upcoming League of Legends update 14.22, there will be an addition of a character named Ambessa Medarda, accompanied by a wealth of Arcane-themed content such as event quests, and adjustments to several champions, including Ambessa herself receiving some nerfs. Additionally, a significant number of Attack Damage Carry (ADC) and lethality items are going through changes.
Furthermore, Ambessa is the main attraction in this update, but there’s plenty more Arcane Season 2 content to get excited about, such as the ARAM overhaul that transforms the map into the Bridge of Progress.
Here’s what you can expect from LoL patch 14.22 according to the notes we have so far:
Arcane nemesis quests and ARAM makeover
In honor of Arcane Season 2, a few enemy challenges are being introduced where you can earn Arcane character tokens by defeating other players as part of the new Battle of Progress ARAM arena. As of now, the specifics about these challenges and their prizes remain unknown, but we do know they’re in development.

Moreover, the Arcane Map is significantly altering the gameplay in ARAM, and we can expect it to stay for a while, up until early January 2025.
