With Season 14 of League of Legends just around the corner, Riot Phreak has taken the time to show a preview of the upcoming 14.1 Patch. We will be taking a look at all of the major changes that we can expect to the game along with some additional information regarding the state of the game and the balancing decisions behind Hwei and many other champions.

Although Riot Games will release more in-depth patch notes once Season 14 hits the live servers, we will take a look at what we can expect as a part of the major update to League of Legends.

LoL Patch 14.1 Preview: Champion Buffs

Hwei

А small boost to Hwei's survivability to compensate for his rather difficult-to-master kit, this could allow some easier time laning against bully champions as well as allow Hwei players to dish out more damage before being one shot.

Base stats:

  • Armor 18 ---> 21

LoL Patch 14.1 Preview: Jungle Tuning

It seems that junglers will also see some changes as well. Here are some of the points Phreak mentioned in his video:

  • Flat Jungle Pet DPS will be increased
  • Ganking will be much more difficult due to terrain changes
  • Champion %Damage will be decreased

Riot Phreak also mentioned that the team is working on other aspects of the game, predominantly focusing on Runes, QoL changes, and bug fixes, along with some minor tweaks to Bounties as well. Phreak mentioned that the rune and QoL changes could be coming around Patch 14.2.

There was also a mention of a micro patch being rolled out once Season 14 hits live servers. This would probably address minor stats or items that might be deemed overpowered once players figure out the best builds for their champions.
