The forthcoming fourth patch of 2024 League season promises many adjustments across various facets of the game.
Riot has announced a substantial overhaul, with plans to implement modifications to 19 champions and no fewer than five adjustments to items. Moreover, players can anticipate comprehensive fine-tuning aimed at enhancing support and mage items, alongside revisions to fountain healing mechanics and tethering dynamics.
In a recent tease by Riot Phroxzon on February 13th, hints were dropped regarding potential alterations to the camera offset for players navigating the Rift’s red side. This tweak could potentially offer a fresh perspective and alter strategic considerations for those engaging in gameplay from that vantage point.
Scheduled to roll out on February 22nd, League Patch 14.4 marks a significant milestone in Riot’s ongoing efforts to refine and optimize the gaming experience for players worldwide.
