League of Legends Patch 14.10 Micropatch: Corki and Smolder buffs, Draven nerfs, and more

League of Legends 14.10 just received a micro patch that brings buffs to Corki and Smolder, along with nerfs to Draven and Samira. 14.10 completely overhauled the ADC items and removed the Lethality Tempo rune from the Rift. This hotfix is supposed to deal with some of the outliers introduced by the update.

However, the micro patch will not be the last balance that the 14.10 changes will receive, as the League of Legends developers pointed out:

“We’ll be deploying a micropatch within the next hour if all goes well. There’s more follow-up to do in 14.11 but we identified the biggest outliers based on the first day of games. Some champions who appear very weak (Ezreal, Yasuo, Yone, Gangplank) are mostly building wrong,” they said.

Below are the complete notes for the League of Legends 14.10 micro patch.
