Here are the early LoL Patch 14.24 patch notes

The final League of Legends update of the year is almost here. Patch 14.24 will be the last in the calendar year before the 2025 season flips everything on its head. Before that happens, let’s take a look at the forthcoming changes.

Contrary to previous patches, Patch 14.24 won’t feature tons of changes. Riot Games hardly ships major changes to League at the end of each year, and that’s not changing this time around. That is if we believe Matt “Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison’s patch preview he shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Dec. 4. But he usually never lets us down.

When will LoL Patch 14.24 go live?

The first detailed preview of Patch 14.24 is here, meaning it will shortly go live. It’s expected to hit the live servers on Wednesday, Dec. 11. The developer didn’t say anything about the exact launch hours, so we expect the update to arrive in the standard times, which look as follows.

• 3pm CT (NA)
• 5am GMT (EU West)
• 3am CET (EU North East)
• 8am KR (Korea)

What’s in LoL Patch 14.24?

Almost 20 champions receive minor tweaks

The upcoming update is one of the smallest this year, with Riot making minor changes to 17 champions. Picks that are currently too strong, like Ambessa, Corki, Graves, and six others, are among the nerfed champs, which is hardly surprising, looking at their win and pick rates.

The devs are also buffing a few non-meta champions like Master Yi and Yuumi. Similarly to the nerfs, though, these changes aren’t substantial enough to make them overpowered, or at least we expect so.

Viktor’s gameplay is getting stabilized after player feedback

The biggest changes definitely belong to one of Arcane’s main characters, Viktor. After his latest overhaul, the developer has been collecting feedback from players. This allowed Riot to prepare a handful of changes that should to improve the mage.

“Overall, we hope these changes attempt to strike the right balance of his weaknesses being exploitable enough, but not too weak, which allow his strengths to shine,” Phroxzon wrote in his post. We’ll find out if he’s right soon enough.

Riot is balancing the game before the season ends on Jan. 7

These tweaks are pretty tame due to the season ending soon. Riot doesn’t usually make big changes at the end of the year, and the case is no different this time around.

“We’re trying to stabilize the games for peoples’ end of Season climbs,” Phroxzon outlined. With the Sseason ending on Jan. 7, it’s time for our final push before the competitive year concludes with the massive 2025 update.
