Kled is getting a much-needed mini-rework in the upcoming patch.
Riot is releasing yet another mini-rework in the upcoming patch, and this time it’s the much-requested rework for Kled.
Kled, as a champion, has been struggling for a while now. Not only does he feel kind of clunky to play, due to how his remount works, but his numbers are also quite low compared to other meta champions. Which is why Riot is buffing some of his numbers and changing how his passive works so it doesn’t feel that clunky. In addition to these changes, there are some minor changes arriving in his kit, which we will take a look at today.
