LoL patch 14.11 notes: ADC item changes and more

Patch 14.11 for League of Legends sees changes to the ADC class, nerfs to IE and Caitlyn, as well as other buffs to Draven and Immortal Shieldbow.

The newest patch for League of Legends has arrived and with MSI finished, the devs have turned to tuning the title after the monstrous 14.10 patch that completely changed ADC items and more.

Those ADC items are getting another look in this patch, with Infinity Edge being taken down a notch so Caitlyn will stop one-hitting people with her headshot.

When does League Patch 14.11 go live?

League of Legends Patch 14.11 is expected to go live on May 29, 2024. Patch 14.11 will head to Oceanic servers first, with other servers slowly receiving it throughout the day.

Here are the key timings of Patch 14.11 for your server:

• 3 AM PT (NA)
• 5 AM GMT (EUW)
• 3 AM CET (EUNE)
• 8 AM KST (Korea)

There’ll be a few hours of downtime when patching begins, and matchmaking queues will be taken offline about three hours beforehand.

What’s changing in LoL Patch 14.11?

ADC changes

The ADC items were massively changed in Patch 14.10. The changes saw a revert to the critical strike system, which now only needs 4 items to hit maximum critical strike. This means certain crit-based ADCs have become wildly more powerful, so Riot is nerfing them and Infinity Edge.

Balance changes

Aside from the ADC item changes, many other game systems and overall balances were shifted during the previous patch. Riot is still changing numbers around to ensure every champion is in a somewhat balanced state, with buffs to champions like Gangplank and Master Yi, whose itemization drastically changed.
