As the year comes to a close, each new patch, including the upcoming Patch 14.20, brings us closer to the highly anticipated League of Legends season 15 preseason. This upcoming update promises several exciting updates and improvements to the game, setting the stage for the changes we can expect in the preseason.
One of the standout features of Patch 14.20 is a long-awaited visual update for Teemo. This popular champion, known for his tricky playstyle and sneaky mushrooms, will finally receive some much-needed attention in the form of enhanced visuals.
In addition to Teemo’s visual overhaul, this patch will also introduce a variety of new skins for champions like Yasuo, Sivir, Gragas, Neeko, and Trundle. These skins will come from a mix of different skin lines, including the Nightbringer, Anniversary, and LoL Player Days collections.
But the patch isn’t just about aesthetics—there will also be some significant changes to the game’s core systems, particularly around runes and items, as revealed by Riot Phroxzon.
