Complete League of Legends Patch Notes 14.14

Season 14 of League of Legends has been a rollercoaster, especially with the recent item and rune balancing efforts by developers. Even more huge changes are on the horizon with upcoming League patch 14.14.

Aurora, the Vestayan mage that was promised, will finally be sprinkling her unique magic over Summoner's Rift, going live alongside in the new update.

League of Legends patch 14.14 brings six champion buffs and ten champion nerfs. There will also be massive adjustments to four champions: Aurelion Sol, Hecarim, Irelia, and Milio. If that's not enough, the early-game rune Absorb Life will also receive nerfed levels stats.

This is one of the biggest patches of 2024, so grab some snacks and get your reading glasses on—here are the complete 14.14 patch notes for League of Legends.

LOL PATCH 14.14 RELEASE DATE

According to Riot Games' official patch timetable, League of Legends patch 14.14 will go live on Wednesday, July 17, 2024.

League patch 14.14 will be introduced gradually to accommodate different time zones and global servers. The rollout will commence in the Southern Hemisphere, with the Oceanic server at approximately 10 AM AEST.

There will be a brief downtime when patching begins, and matchmaking queues will likely be taken offline as Riot Games implements the latest update. Since this patch is large in scope, the server downtime may be longer than usual.

Here's (roughly) when you can expect League of Legends patch 14.14 to roll out:

• 5 AM GMT (EU West)
• 3 AM CET (EU North East)
• 3 AM PT (NA)
• 8 AM KST (Korea)

LOL PATCH 14.14: WHAT'S NEW? 

New champion Aurora, the Witch Between Worlds, will finally debut after countless teasers and the interactive minigame starring herself and Ornn. As a mage between the lands of the living and spirits, she will dash around the battlefield.

After recent rounds of balance changes, Bot Lane is finally in a good spot coming into League patch 14.14, with many ADCs now performing well in the meta. However, Aphelios and Smolder were still in an awkward position, so the dev team gave them some much-needed love to make them competitive picks again.

Several champions, ten to be exact, are going under the nerf hammer in League of Legends patch 14.14. The targets are mainly AP junglers who rely heavily on the Fated Ashes item, like Lillia and Nidalee. A few AD solo laners, namely Zed and Jayce, are being empowered in patch 14.14 to make them more viable.

Eight Anima Squad skins will drop in the League of Legends store alongside Riot Games' premiere PvE game mode. These skins are colorful, techy, and fun, guaranteed to add some extra bunny-fied action to your next League of Legends games.

Here are the price points for all eight new Anima Squad skins:

• Battle Bat Xayah (Epic): 1,350 RP
• Battle Bunny Aurora (Epic): 1,350 RP
• Battle Dove Seraphine (Legendary): 1,820 RP
• Cyber Cat Yuumi (Epic): 1,350 RP
• Primordian Bel'Veth (Epic): 1,350 RP
• Primordian Rek'Sai (Epic): 1,350 RP
• Prestige Cyber Cat Yuumi: 2,000 AnimaTech Tokens
• Admiral Battle Bunny Miss Fortune (Special Distribution skin)

Please remember that these early patch notes and balance changes are all taken from the Public Beta Environment (PBE). As a result, they are only tentative and subject to change until Riot Games implements them onto servers on July 17, 2024.

With all these new changes, the dev team warns players to expect a brief short-term instability, so there may even be a mid-week B-side patch to straighten things out.

LOL PATCH 14:14: AURORA, THE WITCH BETWEEN WORLDS

Aurora, the Witch Between Worlds, will be released in League of Legends patch 14.14, the second new champion to be added to the growing roster in 2024. She will be destined for the Mid Lane, with an ult similar to Mordekaiser in how it transports the enemy target to another plane of existence.
