LoL Patch 14.17 Notes: All The Buffs, Nerfs, and Adjustments

COSMIN · August 20, 2024

LoL Patch 14.17 is coming soon, as it will serve as a precursor for the Worlds patch.

With Split 2 drawing to a close and Worlds 2024 approaching soon, Riot is working on Patch 14.17 in League of Legends. As the precursor of the Worlds patch, there are a bunch of nerfs in this patch.

However, there is also a lack of buffs in this patch, so Riot is taking out the ban hammer. That said, let’s talk about all of those changes coming in Patch 14.17.

Thanks to @RiotPhreak for covering me last patch, now you're stuck with me again.

In 14.17 we're continuing to make changes to adjust the meta in time for Worlds (on 14.18).

Champion Buffs

Only five buffs are coming to Champions, as the list is mostly ranged characters. All of them are AD-based, barring Ryze, and it seems they are buffs for other changes in this patch or previous patches. Here are the champions getting buffs in Patch 14.17.

Caitlyn
Graves
Kindred
Ryze
Varus

Champion Nerfs

The motherload of the changes is in the nerfs, as Patch 14.17 is getting a lot of them. There are so many champions on this list that it is clear that Riot has deemed there are some huge problems in the game. Thus, here is the champions list.

Ashe
Aurora
Brand
Ezreal
Katarina
Kennen
LeBlanc
Lillia
Pyke
Rumble
Senna
Seraphine
Sylas

System Nerfs

Three Runes are getting changes as ADC mids are the target. It has been oppressing to play against them. Thus, Riot is finally addressing three of the biggest runes they use.

System Adjustments

The system adjustments that are coming are related to Supports. These overall changes will be designed to make different types of Supports viable while also nerfing some Supports that are too strong. Also, possible item changes are being discussed.

Skins

There are two sets of skin releases coming in Patch 14.17. The first one is the new Battle Queen skins, while the other is the two new Mythic Variants. Here they all are.

Battle Queen Annie
