LoL: Patch 7.4 Patch Notes – Cho’Gath becomes the Giant Tank of Death!

In the new League of Legends Patch 7.4, Riot changes the voracious Cho’Gath and makes adjustments to items with armor penetration. We have the patch notes for you.

Changes to champions, items, traps, and the client – The new League of Legends Patch 7.4 is an all-rounder. Special attention was paid to the champion Cho’Gath, who has felt “out of place for some time.” The Void monster is expected to feel stronger and tankier due to these changes. The developers also revised the items that build on lethality.

General Changes

In Patch 7.4, the interaction with camouflaged traps has also been revised. Their targetable hitbox is enlarged, allowing melee champions to hit these traps more easily. In return, traps from items like Sweeping Lens, Control Ward, and Duskblade of Draktharr are no longer disabled.

This affects Teemo’s R, Jhin’s E, Nidalee’s W, and Shaco’s W.

The developers have also adjusted the experience point gain. It should now be easier for heroes who are lagging behind in levels to catch up with their teammates. You can find all changes in detail on the official League of Legends website. Here are the official patch notes for Patch 7.4 on League of Legends.com
