The next League of Legends update, Patch 14.6, is on its way, and it’s bringing some big changes, especially for the bottom lane where AD carries and support gold income will be adjusted. But that’s not all – Galio, one of the champions, is getting a significant makeover too.
Riot Games has a whole bunch of tweaks in store for this patch. They’re planning to make adjustments to 15 champions, including the Galio rework. On top of that, they’re also looking at changing at least 5 items. And that’s not even counting the support buffs that are planned or the Epic Items that Matt Leung-Harrison mentioned will be reviewed to tackle snowballing issues.
Expect to see Patch 14.6 hit the servers on March 20, 2024, following Riot’s patch schedule. It’s shaping up to be a pretty significant update for League of Legends players!
