League of Legends Patch 14.21 is shaping up to bring more significant updates to the game, continuing the momentum from recent patches.
Despite several major changes over the past few months, Riot is showing no signs of slowing down. This upcoming patch includes a rework for Swain and adjustments to powerful top lane champions like Irelia and Camille, who are receiving some nerfs.
It’s important to remember that these are preliminary patch notes and subject to further modifications, as the update may not yet be finalized. However, enough changes have already been introduced on the PBE servers to give a clear idea of what’s to come.
