While not quite in the scope of a full rework, [[Cho'Gath]], [[Singed]], [[Diana]] should play quite differently in 7.14. Cho received an update to [[Vorpal Spikes]], making it an autoattack buff for 3 hits that slows enemies and deals %hp damage, though it now has a cooldown. Diana's [[Moonsilver Blade]] now grants attack speed after her spellcasts for 3 attacks and restores mana on the third hit. The attack speed value scales with [[Moonfall]]'s rank. [[Singed]] received even more extensive changes, with a new passive named [[Noxious Slipstream]] that grants him a burst of movement speed when he passes near champions. [[Mega Adhesive]] now has a grounding effect, preventing enemies from using movement abilities while inside the AoE. The last two champions we'll talk about are [[Garen]] and [[Taric]]. Garen received sizable buffs to [[Perseverance]], especially at level 11. He also now gains even more regeneration when he's low on health. [[Courage]] also has a new effect where it grants 60% damage reduction and tenacity for the first 0.75 seconds after casting. [[Taric]] received a buff to [[Dazzle]]'s damage alongside a small rework for [[Starlight's Touch]]. Rather than having 3 charges at all ranks, Taric can now gain up to 5 charges based on rank, though the ability has a 3 second cooldown now. In addition, [[Bravado]]-empowered attacks will instantly grant a charge, giving him better access to in-combat healing if he's able to proc his passive.

[quote=VexRoth]Nice to see some changes to [[Diana]], especially in the mana cost department, though I'm curious as to why they moved the attack speed passive to [[Moonfall]] which has typically been the ability that you max last. I guess there it is gated unless you do opt to max it sooner. Not sure I'm happy about their being more grievous wounds effects in the game, though I suppose having it accessible to tanks is nice for the tanks. But fuzzy on why they added the Cold Steel passive to [[Thornmail]]. You buy thornmail on someone like [[Dr. Mundo]] because you want your target to focus you and kill themselves in the process. Slowing their attack speed will mean that they kill themselves more slowly. Kind of sad that [[Kayn]] has the ability to enter terrain. I've long had this secret hope that they would add that feature to [[Nocturne]]'s Q as that would make him a real nightmare.[/quote]
