LoL Patch 14.17 – Major death time changes

Patch 14.16 was officially released on August 14 and it came with one major system change. The game devs increased the death game timers in the early game, proving their stance on trying to buff up early game champions and make early game leads more punishing for the losing team.

Aside from that, there have been several champion changes as a major shake up is needed given the exaggerated presence of ranged marksmen across different roles. Additionally, quite a few mid lane champions have been buffed or nerfed so this might be the most affected role in the patch.

While we wait for patch 14.16 to unfold and see how the meta will warp, we can set our eyes on the new patch 14.17. For the time being, however, it seems like Riot hasn’t revealed any champion changes yet. As usual, we’ll likely have to wait for game designer Spideraxe to show us the initial list.

Patch 14.16 Release Date

According to the official patch schedule, Patch 14.17 will be released on Wednesday, August 28. This will be the 17th patch out of the 24 updates planned for the year.
