LoL Patch 14.18 – Getting Ready for Worlds

Patch 14.17 was officially released on August 28 and while the patch wasn’t massive in terms of changes, the update came with several tweaks to various champions. The goal was to nerf down some of the most powerful picks in professional play and some of the outliers in solo queue as well.

Additionally, Riot has been pushing to further adjust some of the key runes for marksmen champions which have dominated the meta in the higher parts of the ranked ladder.

Going into the next update, we might see more tweaks in the meta as Worlds 2024 is fast approaching. We haven’t gotten much indication of what kind of direction Riot wants to bring, but it’s unlikely we’ll see a big shift like it happened in previous years. Nonetheless, there is an increasing diversity across every role, which is a welcomed element for the biggest tournament of the year.

Patch 14.18 Release Date

According to the official patch schedule, Patch 14.18 will be released on Wednesday, September 11. This will be the 18th patch out of the 24 updates planned for the year.
