LoL Patch 14.15 – will it be another small patch?
Patch 14.14 was officially released on July 17 with several champion changes and the release of Aurora, the newest LoL champion. A lot of the focus went on to nerfing some of the strongest meta champions, including the likes of Tristana, Brand, among others.
Despite being just a few days into the new patch, Riot’s game designer Spideraxe is already coming with a few planned changes for some highly mechanical champions. If you’re into the mobile assassins, you must see what’s coming in this patch: Zed, Akali, Irelia, and the blade master brothers Yasuo and Yone are all on the change list. Find out what is being adjusted below.
Patch 14.15 Release Date
According to the official patch schedule, Patch 14.15 will be released on Wednesday, July 31. This will be the 15th patch out of the 24 updates planned for the year.
How will the upcoming patch impact the meta?
It’s still early to say how the meta will shift but we can first look at the major changes among the champions. Zed and Akali are definitely the most important ones: they are getting a bit more damage early on but at the cost of higher cooldowns and slightly lower ratios (aside from Zed’s E). This means that they will be less forgiving when going for the picks but they will also have to respect their cooldowns more.
In the meantime we wait for the new changes to be announced, check out our tier lists to find the best picks in the meta:
