Here are the LoL Patch 14.20 patch notes

Incoming: Major systems changes and five new skins!

As we draw closer to the end of the year, each patch, like this upcoming Patch 14.20, brings us one step closer to the League of Legends season 15 preseason.

In the last League patch, Riot Games focused heavily on overhauling all the end-game items and reworking K’Sante (again), Elise, and Tristana. In this patch, the developers are giving Teemo some much-needed visual updates. Who knows? Maybe these changes will make him more likable.

We will also see all-new Yasuo, Sivir, Gragas, Neeko, and Trundle skins hit the Rift from a mish-mash of Nightbringer, Anniversary, and LoL Player Days skin lines and major systems changes around runes and items.

Here’s everything coming to League in Patch 14.20.

When will LoL Patch 14.20 go live?

League Patch 14.20 will go live on Wednesday, Oct. 9, as confirmed by Riot’s official 2024 League patch schedule. When this update arrives, it’ll roll out in stages throughout the major playing regions.

Here are the key patching times for Patch 14.20:

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

As always, on update day, expect several hours of downtime. Riot will turn off ranked and casual matchmaking across all League queues three hours before the update.

What’s in LoL Patch 14.20?

Teemo is set for a major visual and lore overhaul

Teemo is one of those League champions who are either loved or hated. But for those who enjoy playing The Swift Scout, you’ll soon notice complete visual updates across all skins, all-new splash artworks for the base skin and six other Teemo skins, and adjustments to his remaining skins. That’s not all.

Teemo is set to receive updated sound effects, revamped ability icons, and even new voice-overs. So, it will be exciting to see what Riot has done to bring Teemo’s visuals in line with its current standards. And his revamped skins, particularly Happy Elf Teemo, Recon Reemo, and Badger Teemo, will now go for 750 RP.

AD carry items need work due to ‘unexciting’ first item buys

The developers have noticed the first item ADCs buy tends to be Infinity Edge because it’s one of the strongest options. However, as every ADC is buying it, it leaves little to the imagination and has made the first item pick quite boring.

The team is working on changes to make other ADC items more viable and provide a better range of satisfying options for crit and non-crit builds.

Celebrate League with a new Nightbringer and 4 Commemorative skins

Nothing beats new skins, and in this patch, you can purchase three Commemorative LoL Player Days skins, get a free Anniversary Sivir skin, or try your luck at getting the Genesis Nightbringer Yasuo skin. And yes, it looks as epic as it sounds.

Here are all five skins expected to land in League in this patch:

These skins will go live in the Patch 14.20 cycle.
