League of Legends PBE patch 14.6 cycle item changes: Brutalizer nerfs, Bami’s changes, and more

A fair number of item changes have made their way to the League of Legends PBE patch 14.6 cycle. Riot Games is looking to make tweaks to some of the more overpowered build paths in the upcoming update, with nerfs making their way to the likes of Brutalizer, Tunneler, and Serrated Dirk.

Lethality champions have been having a great time in the current season. It was pretty hard to deal with them once they started getting early leads, as they had a great deal of snowball potential.

The League of Legends developers will be looking to tone down the effectiveness of Lethality items even further in patch 14.6. This is likely going to have a severe impact on the current Season 14 meta.
