Here's what yesterday's hotfixed champions are looking like since their hotfixes yesterday, relative to their 9.13 performance. So basically the last ~20 hours of play compared against 9.13, with all other 9.14 data excluded.

Katarina's Grievous Wounds effect is now stronger, and Kled's Q now has the effect as well:

Making the truesight component of tethers on Karma, Morgana, and Leblanc more prominent:

Introducing a shield shatter mechanic on Blitzcrank and Renekton. Blitz also has a mini-rework to W and R:

Amping up / reintroducing some anti-mobility mechanics on Ahri, Cassi (+ some other tweaks), and Poppy:

Trying out a Flat DR mechanic on Leona (+ some other tweaks) and Fizz:

Ryze bugfixes:

Pyke follow-up:

Lux W gets some tuning + some other tweaks:

Tahm Kench is less annoying now:

Akali W is invis now + some other tweaks:

New day, new Akali to test:

Updated Akali list in for playtest this evening. @RiotBlaustoise playing it this time. Since last time, less change to the passive MS mechanics and some more emphasis on energy refund across the kit. Need to take a more deliberate look at passive damage next. #lifeofapatch

Since we're doing the #lifeofapatch thing, here's the Akali thing I began work on this week, including images of the internal e-mail I sent detailing the work (typos and all). 1: Current Balance Metrics 2: Design Considerations 3: Changes Nothing is final. This isn't tuned.

Here's what I think we're going with for Pyke in 9.13. Went away from the passive swap due to low alignment on confidence levels. Instead taking an approach that hits his damage on the wave pretty hard. #lifeofapatch

Still slow burning at some item work and tossed Rylai's into the mix since it seems like it fits as a tanky ap item. For now, I'm happy to keep chipping away at this and prepare some good stuff for preseason, but maybe we can squeeze something in sooner.

I showed some stuff late last week on Rod of Ages that I think is going pretty well, but for whatever reason, the tooltip formatting on the item has actually been a pain, so it's been a bit cumbersome to get cleaned up. Might get something on PBE this week.
