LoL Patch 14.1b – Hotfix changes are live!

With several updates across multiple aspects of the game, Riot Games brought some hotfix changes with the LoL Patch 14.1b.

LoL Patch 14.1b – What changes are coming?

Whenever Riot makes big changes to the outcome, it’s bound to happen that some champions get much stronger than expected, and some outliers are created on both ends of the spectrum.

With that in mind, the game devs have brought in quick hotfix changes hoping to bring the game to a more balanced state, as they prepare to tweak things in the upcoming weeks further.

That said, there is a lot to unfold in the new season so there might be still quite a few “OP” picks that are yet to be discovered. While we monitor what happens next, let’s see the changes from the mid-patch 14.1b.

Patch Release Date

The changes of patch 14.1b are already on the live servers since January 12, and will last until the release of patch 14.2 on January 24.
