LOL Patch 14.24 Notes

For the last patch of 2024 Riot Games're celebrating the end of Arcane with Viktor's update, a batch of Arcane skins including the first Exalted skin, Arcane Fractured Jinx, and a brand new type of cosmetic called Nexus Finishers. Riot Games also have some other stuff in store for you this patch like introducing The Sanctum, ARAM balance adjustments, a special Clash Tournament on the Bridge of Progress, and a new Mythic Shop rotation so be sure to check those out down below!

On the gameplay side of things we've got Viktor's update, follow-up on our recent Warwick and Rell changes, Ambessa's first larger balance pass, and an otherwise normal sweep of the game's biggest balance outliers.

Arcane Fractured Jinx, Arcane Professor Heimerdinger, Arcane Savior Viktor, Arcane Vander Warwick, and Arcane Last Stand Ekko will be available December 11, 2024 at 20:00 UTC.

Starting in patch 14.24, we'll be improving our AFK detection which tracks if players are active. Now, players will be considered AFK if they are idling in the fountain for an extended period of time at any moment during the course of the game. This means early surrender will also be available to players who find themselves in a match with a teammate idling in the fountain.

With patch 14.24 The Sanctum is live and with it our first Exalted skin, Arcane Fractured Jinx. In case you missed it we put out an article about the Sanctum, Exalted Skins, and how to get them a bit ago. The Mythic Shop this patch is getting a major facelift and content rework to account for a lot of the changes we're making both in new things to get (Exalted Skins and Nexus Finishers), removing a few redundancies, or things you never spent ME on in the first place. We're also using it to reintroduce a handful of things you've been asking for us to bring back for awhile (Legacy Skins, Event Chromas, and Emotes)! So those long lost items you've been wanting to collect that haven't seen the light of the client in years? You'll have a way to obtain them again. Just to lay it out there The Sanctum will serve as the new primary way to acquire Mythic Essence, you can spend that Mythic Essence in the shop for premium content (new and old Prestige skins, legacy content, etc.). You'll notice a couple of things missing from the Mythic Shop offerings such as exchanging Mythic Essence for Blue Essence, Orange Essence, or Skin Shards. These were either rarely purchased or didn't fit around the philosophy of focusing Mythic Essence towards exclusive content.

Viktor's evolution hits the Rift this patch with an update to better line up his design between League and Arcane. This update enhanced visuals, some new splash arts, and a few gameplay adjustments.

Riot Games have a new type of content coming to the Mythic Shop this patch, introducing Nexus Finishers! Nexus Finishers are a new way to style on your opponents (and your allies) with custom VFX, SFX animations and more. At the very end of the match, a randomly selected player from the winning team's equipped Finisher will play, visible to everyone in the match. While this first one is themed after Jinx and Arcane, future ones will not always be directly related to a skin. You can equip Nexus Finishers for use with ANY champion or skin you have selected. The first Nexus Finisher will be available in the Mythic Shop at 250 ME for the duration of this event.

• Added an option to disable component auto-purchasing when attempting to purchase an item you do not have sufficient gold for.
• Improved clarity of the gold meter that shows how close you are to being able to purchase your queued item.
• Removed the overlapping yellow ring that displayed gold spent on components that build into your queued item.

Bounty Gold Update: Based on your feedback, we made changes to ARAM bounty gold. Champions will now accrue one bounty gold for every two gold earned from kills and assists. This change aims to make bounties feel more aligned with ARAM's fast-paced environment, and we'll continue tuning it as needed.

One more important change. Flash Sale! Cappa Juice is now 100 gold! You can purchase up to 25 hats.

Back in the /dev article on Exalted skins, the Mythic Shop, and Nexus Finishers, we mentioned some changes coming to the Shop. We want the Mythic Shop to be a place where you find exciting and exclusive content. Some of our current offerings, such as Prestige Skins, fit this aim while others, like Blue Essence, Orange Essence, and skin shards, don't. As a result, we'll be removing BE, OE, and shards from the Mythic Shop offerings. Going forward, you can expect to see us ramp up in new content offerings, like Nexus Finishers, and how we rotate them through the shop. Additionally, we're exploring bringing back some exclusive accessories starting with Event Chromas. In the coming months, we'll be monitoring what content is highly sought after and listening to feedback for what you'd like to see rotate through the shop. Later in 2025, we'll also be improving some of the quality of life features such as better categorization of content and clearer rotation timers in the client, so stay tuned!
