consideration

In patch 14.5 (implemented May 28) item update,
Six items will be replaced or reworked and four new artifacts will be added.

These are major adjustments that have the potential to significantly change the existing meta, and have such an impact that we can no longer call it "Patch 14.5" but rather **"Set 14.5"**.

Which configuration will be the center of the meta in the future will depend on the buffs/nerfs included in the said patch, but we will compile them as we go along based on information from PBE and other sources.

I'm a little surprised at the suddenness of it.
It's good to be able to play again with a fresh mind!
