Patch 14.16 of League of Legends is planning on making some key changes to Riot’s MOBA, including a major rework to push Senna her towards being an enchanter alongside tweaks to the death timer.
As usual, the new patch will make further balance updates to the MOBA to keep the game fresh and revitalize some of the current cast in new ways.
Patch 14.16 introduces a significant shake-up to the champion Senna and increases the length of death timers across the board. We’re also sure to get plenty more details in the coming days on further adjustments too.

Death timer changes
Death timers are being increased across the board in Patch 14.16. At most levels, death timers will be increased by around two to four seconds, making it more punishing if you perish. This in turn aims to shorten the pace of the game, as players will have more time to take objectives while enemies remain dead.
Riot GamesRiot wants to push Senna to less of a carry and focus more on her utility.
