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 developers have brought in quick hotfix changes, hoping to bring the game to a more balanced state as they prepare to tweak things further in the upcoming weeks.
That said, there is a lot to unfold in the new season, so there might still be 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.
