[Patch 14.19] LoL 14.19 Patch Notes (Lethal Tempo Returns)

League of Legends patch 14.19 is bringing a number of sweeping changes to the game, as explained by the LoL devs before patch 14.18 even hit live servers. While there aren’t many static numbers yet, the devs have given us an idea of what they’re changing around going into 2025.

As Riot ramps up for Season 2025’s pre-season, there are a lot of system-wide changes going on. And, while there aren’t static numbers behind these changes just yet, the dev team has outlined some of what we’ll be seeing in terms of wide, sweeping changes.

Global Item Nerfs The LoL dev team claims that almost every Legendary item will be receiving a nerf that makes it 5-15% less effective in terms of how statistically efficient it is. Their aim is to reduce snowball potential and make champions’ abilities stand out more than just the items they’re using.

They’ve justified this change by claiming that players are much better at farming now than they were in years passed, making it so that the game’s pace accelerates much more rapidly than they’d like at all stages. Rather than making it so players earn less gold, that gold is just a bit less effective than it was before.

Item Queuing Players will now have the ability to assign an item to their queue, showing them how much gold they’ll need to get to it. There will also be a “One Click purchase” that’ll give you as many components as you can afford toward that big purchase without having to find them in the shop.

Additionally, players will now get alerted when they leave base without an item in their inventory, prompting them to go back to base and get to their lane with the right items in hand.

Ping Changes Players will get notifications for anything from using potions to low health to objectives spawning on the map. Additionally, map pings will fly out if a teammate is getting invaded in the jungle, and a “My Bad” ping has been added to communicate to teammates that you know you made a mistake.
