Bear in mind these are early patch notes and are subject to change, with the patch not likely being complete at the time of writing. However, enough changes have been put on the PBE to get a picture of what’s coming in the next update.

Hot off the heels of 14.20, there are even more changes coming to League of Legends. Here are the early patch notes for patch 14.21:

Swain rework

Swain’s rework has a lot going on. His base abilities are mostly the same, but the way they interact and how he uses them has changed in a lot of big ways. If you want a full look at his lengthy change log, you can read up Swain’s rework here.

For now, though, here’s a quick summary:

• Swain’s ult now has multiple activations, allowing him to use the burst of damage more than once over the course of its duration
• His E no longer does damage going out, but it has more burst if it lands
• He’s still got healing built into his kit, but it’s been reduced across the board
