LoL patch 14.14 notes: Aurora release, balance changes, more

League of Legends patch 14.14 is hitting live servers, with the new update bringing in a new mage champion, Aurora, as well as balance changes to several champions.

The newest patch for League of Legends is looking to shake up the meta once more by introducing new champion Aurora into the mix. Alongside the new character, further balance changes are coming to LoL’s champion roster.

With AD mids and AP junglers dominating in tandem, both archetypes are getting hit. Here’s what you can expect from League of Legends patch 14.14.

When does League Patch 14.14 go live?

League of Legends Patch 14.14 is expected to go live on July 17, 2024. Patch 14.14 will head to Oceanic servers first, with other servers slowly receiving it throughout the day.

Here are the key timings of Patch 14.14 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 approximately three hours beforehand.

What’s changing in League patch 14.14?

Aurora release

Aurora will be joining the League of Legends roster in patch 14.14. A mid-range mid laner mage who’s capable of dipping and dashing around the battlefield, she’ll take some time to learn but will reward players willing to investigate further into this new champion.

Balance changes

As per usual, Patch 14.14 will bring some pretty major shifts to the meta in League of Legends. Champions like Corki and Tristana have dominated the high level meta, so the devs are hitting them with nerfs.
