And now, Riot has posted a few tentative changes that are planned for Patch 9.14b next week, including some nerfs to Volibear.

Riot’s chopping block features nerfs to Tristana, Volibear, and Locker of the Iron Solari, as well as Assassins and Elementalists, which are some of the strongest classes in the metagame.

But players can also expect to see buffs to Ahri, Mordekaister, and Poppy, as well as the Wild and Sorcerer traits. Morelionomicon will receive some unknown buffs, too.

Riot didn’t go into detail about exactly what it plans to do to nerf and buff all of these gameplay mechanics, however. The company plans to look at the proposed changes over the weekend before locking them in on Monday for Wednesday’s patch.
