League of Legends, the popular MOBA game, is set to introduce significant updates in its upcoming Patch 14.3, particularly targeting the gameplay experience of certain champions.
In the new season, Illaoi and Yorick, have noticeably struggled to maintain their competitiveness. Recognizing this, Patch 14.3 is poised to bring much-needed quality-of-life improvements to these characters.
Additionally, Aurelion Sol, a champion who has been the subject of extensive discussions within the League of Legends community, particularly due to an unfavorable rework in the previous year, is set to receive some well-deserved buffs in this patch.
Moreover, Patch 14.3 is also looking to address a significant aspect of the game’s current meta: the excessive burst damage caused by several items. Riot Games plans to implement nerfs to these items, with the intention of reducing their burst potential.
