LoL Patch 14.20 – More champion changes coming for Worlds!
Patch 14.19 came out just in time for Worlds 2024, bringing one of the biggest updates we’ve seen all year long. Aside from various champion buffs and nerfs, the patch has brought in a lot of small item changes with the goal of slowing down the champions’ ramp-up of stats upon hitting the item completion.
It looks like the changes have reached the desired effect, with fights and skirmishes lasting longer without necessarily impacting the game time due to the increased death timers early on. While we monitor the current patch, Riot Games developers have already turned their eyes to the new update, which will bring more champion changes. Be aware that the Worlds Knockout stage will be on Patch 14.21, meaning that some of these adjustments might also have a direct impact later in the tournament. Below you can find the list of planned changes, as leaked by game designer Riot Phroxzon.
Patch 14.20 Release Date
According to the official patch schedule, Patch 14.20 will be released on Wednesday, October 9. This will be the 20th patch out of the 24 updates planned for the year.
How will the upcoming patch impact the meta?
We’ll have to wait to see the number of changes for each champion before making a clearer analysis of the new update. In the meantime, find out the best champions for the current patch:
