What’s changing in LoL Patch 14.7?

Skarner rework released

The Crystalline Scorpion Skarner is finally having his rework hit the live servers. With a brand new set of moves and a revived aesthetic, the champion should have a renewed lease on life.

Support changes

Support items are a bit too strong at the moment, particularly with the role crowding out ADCs. As such Riot is looking to nerf some of their itemization so that ADCs can shine a bit more. Conversely, some enchanter supports like Nami and Karma are receiving buffs to keep up with the changes.
