League of Legends Patch 14.3 Notes – Item Changes and More

Patch 14.3 is coming soon as League of Legends is still stabilizing the start of the season.

With the start of the new season, a lot has changed in League of Legends. The start of the season has been great, we got a new map, new items, a cool Rift Herald, and a lot more. Also, the new Barons added a lot of interesting variability to the games while the Voidgrubs equalized the focus of early games. Teams now have had to either get the grubs or the dragons.

But like all patches, Riot is rolling up subsequent patches to buff and nerf what is needed. As a result, the game is still fresh from all the new changes but at some point, it will be back to what Riot wants it to be, an open meta with a lot of stuff for players to try out.

The first hurdle for them to balance-wise was to fix the big issues of Patch 14.1. Hence, Patch 14.2 addressed the Support Item Stacking problem, item changes, and a lot more. Now, Riot has to work on many different fronts.

With the recent layoffs, League of Legends will undoubtedly be affected. While we do not know how much that will factor into the future, for now, all we can do is look forward to Patch 14.3.

Although we do not know all the details yet, what we know so far hints towards more item changes. Here is all we know so far about Patch 14.3.
