LoL Patch Notes 14.15 | All Champion Buffs, Nerfs & Adjustments

League of Legends patch 14.15 may not bring new champions or game modes to the MOBA. Still, it promises to shake up the meta like we've never seen before. League of Legends patch 14.15 promises major alterations across the board, with no stone left unturned and no champion safe.

There will be five champion nerfs, seven champion adjustments, and just three champion buffs, showing Riot's dedication to bringing balance to the LoL meta. This update will continue to improve the balance of ADCs, tweak AP items, change up Boots, and adjust a myriad of crucial items.

This is set to be another huge League of Legends patch, so grab some snacks and get comfortable - here are the complete early patch notes for League of Legends 14.15.

LoL Patch 14.15: Release Date/Time

According to Riot Games' official patch timetable for 2024 and Season 14, League of Legends patch 14.15 will officially become live on Wednesday, July 31, 2024, after being on the Public Beta Environment (PBE).

As always, League patch 14.15 will be introduced gradually to accommodate different time zones and global servers. The rollout begins in the Southern Hemisphere with the Oceanic server at approximately 10 AM AEST, with other servers slowly receiving the new patch throughout the day.

There will be a brief downtime of a few hours when patching begins as Riot Games implements the latest update and patch notes. This means no matchmaking queues or ranked games when patching begins.

Here are all the key timings and (roughly) when you can expect League patch 14.15 to roll out worldwide:

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

LoL Patch 14.15: What's New?

League of Legends patch 14.15 will significantly shift the MOBA's meta in a different direction once the new update goes live. Riot Games has noticed that many players prioritize buying defensive boots as their first time of choice, making mirror matches in lane near-deathless. To push League players towards more "intuitive item decisions," developers are tweaking health values and resistances on specific boots.

Riot Games is also re-evaluating the ADC ecosystem after recent patches have been designed to "bring ADC's early game down" in the League patch notes 14.15. The balance team will be nerfing key items Kraken Slayer, Statik Shiv, and Keystone Rune Fleet Footwork to reduce early-game healing.

As part of the continuation of the Anima Squad metaverse and the ongoing limited-time bullet-hell game mode, Swarm, Riot Games is releasing another six Anima Squad-themed skins for you to add to your collection.

Here are the new skins and their price points going live in the patch 14.15 cycle.

• Battle Bear Illaoi (Epic): 1,350 RP
• Battle Lion Leona (Epic): 1,350 RP
• Battle Wolf Yasuo (Epic): 1,350 RP
• Primordian Aatrox (Legendary): 1,820 RP
• Primordian Briar (Epic): 1,350 RP
• Prestige Battle Lion Leona: 2,000 AnimaTech Tokens

Queue Pop Changes

To combat queue sniping and multiple queue declines, developers are changing how many times players can decline a queue. If players decline the queue too many times after League of Legends patch 14.15, they will be locked out of matchmaking temporarily.

If you're a repeat queue decliner, your lockout timer will be extended. These new changes should hopefully minimize disruptive behavior and make queue timers more reasonable.

That covers all the changes going live in League of Legends patch 14.15, available on live servers from Wednesday, July 31, 2024. We are still awaiting official confirmation on some changes, like the exact AP items being changed and nerfs to Aurora and Aurelion Sol.
