LoL Patch 14.19 – Anticipated Champion Changes for Worlds!
Patch 14.18 was just released on September 11, but Riot Games isn’t slowing down. With Worlds 2024 coming up on Patch 14.19, the developers have been hard at work on a series of champion and item updates that will undoubtedly shake up the meta in the coming weeks.
Champions like K’Sante, Elise, and Tristana are on the change list, accompanied by numerous adjustments to a wide range of items. From boots to legendary items to even the smallest components, Riot is making tweaks to many aspects of the game.
The full list of changes can be found below, with a noticeable focus on nerfs to AP items due to the dominance of magic damage champions in the current meta. Costs are being adjusted across the board, which will significantly impact item spikes, especially in the mid-game.
As we’re only in the first week of action, more updates may be on the way, so a comprehensive analysis of what could be one of Riot’s most significant patches in a long time may need to wait a bit longer.
Additionally, Riot is focused on further adjusting crucial runes for marksmen champions, who have been dominating the higher echelons of the ranked ladder.
Patch 14.19 Release Date
According to the official patch schedule, Patch 14.19 is set to be released on Wednesday, September 25. This will mark the 19th patch out of the 24 updates planned for the year.
How Will the Upcoming Patch Impact the Meta?
It’s currently challenging to provide a definitive analysis as the full extent of the changes is still unknown. Looking at specific champions, Elise appears to be receiving buffs, as does Tristana following previous nerfs. K’Sante is also undergoing adjustments to make him less mobile and more of a scaling juggernaut tank. Notably, his scaling changes will limit his infinite health stacking potential with Grasp of the Undying, capping his late-game damage output.
