LoL 14.16 Patch Notes PBE Datamine
- Senna
Senna is set to receive a significant overhaul, with changes affecting her base stats, passive, and all of her abilities. These adjustments seem aimed at shifting her power and potentially altering her play style.
| Senna |  | |
| Ability | Current | New |
| Base Stats: Attack Speed Growth | 4% | 2% |
| Absolution (Passive): Crit Chance Every 20 Souls | 10% | 8% |
| Piercing Darkness (Q): Healing | 40/50/60/70/80 (+ 30% bonus AD) (+ 40% AP) (+ 1.6 per 1 Lethality) | 40/60/80/100/120 (+40% bonus AD) (+80% AP) |
| Piercing Darkness (Q): Slow | 15% (+10% per 100 bonus AD) (+6% per 100 AP) | 15% (+15% per 100 bonus AD) (+10% per 100 AP) |
| Last Embrace (W): Root Duration | 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 seconds | 1.25/1.50/1.75/2/2.25 seconds |
| Dawning Shadow (R): Shield | 100/150/200 (+40% AP) (+1.5 per Soul collected) | 120/160/200 (+70% AP) (+1.5 per Soul collected) |
These changes suggest a shift in Senna’s power distribution. The reduced attack speed growth and crit chance from souls indicate a nerf to her late-game scaling in terms of basic attacks.
The Q ability, Piercing Darkness, sees a substantial increase in both healing and slow potential, especially when building AP. The removal of the Lethality scaling might discourage AD-focused builds.
Last Embrace (W) now provides longer root duration at all ranks, enhancing Senna’s crowd control capabilities. Her ultimate, Dawning Shadow, receives a buff to its shield strength and AP scaling, further incentivizing AP-oriented builds.
2. Tryndamere
| Tryndamere |  | |
| Ability | Current | New |
| Battle Fury (Passive): Fury Bonus Critical Strike Chance | 0-40% (based on Fury) | 0-50% (based on Fury) |
This update to Tryndamere’s passive tooltip correctly displays the changes made in Patch 14.10. The increased maximum critical strike chance from fury enhances Tryndamere’s damage potential when his rage bar is full, making him an even more formidable duelist and split-pusher.
It’s crucial to remember that these changes are based on PBE datamine information and may not represent the final adjustments that will be implemented. Riot Games often refines champion changes based on player feedback and internal testing before releasing them to live servers.
As the release of Patch 14.16 approaches, players should keep an eye out for the official patch notes to confirm which of these changes will make it to Summoner’s Rift. These adjustments have the potential to shake up champion selections and strategies in both casual and competitive play.
