Patch 14.9

nerf

We’re making a small change to Hexdrinker because we’re making a bigger change to Maw of Malmortius (read more on that directly below). Our main goal here is to make MR fighter items less oppressive against AP champions while maintaining them as effective item options. For Hexdrinker, we’re simply buffing the build path while nerfing the MR which shouldn’t change too much.
