The notes for League of Legends Patch 14.9 are here and the new update will bring changes to the MOBA including nerfs to several champions, as well as adjustments to Bruiser items.
League of Legends is getting Patch 14.9 very soon. With new changes to shake up the MOBA’s meta, we’re seeing Skarner being nerfed after his rework, plenty of champions receive balance changes and Bruiser items receiving an update.
When does League Patch 14.9 go live?
Here are the key timings of Patch 14.9 for your server:
There’ll be a few hours of downtime when patching begins, and matchmaking queues will be taken offline about three hours beforehand.
Skarner’s recent rework has left him in quite a powerful position. With the increased mobility, utility, and CC he provides, the devs are looking to tune him down a bit in this patch to stop him from completely overtaking the meta.
Bruisers have been in a bit of a weird spot after the removal of items like Goredrinker. Riot is looking to shake up some of their itemization by buffing underused items like Death’s Dance, and nerfing stronger ones like Sterak’s Gage and Sundered Sky.
