LoL 14.10 Patch Preview: Release date, item changes, and more

The LoL mid-season update, Patch 14.10, is a game-changer! Sweeping system changes have arrived, including comprehensive item and rune reworks. Brand new additions will be introduced alongside the removal of some older ones, promising a complete shakeup to the meta.

As always, Riot Games aims to maintain balance by reining in overpowered champions while making underperformers viable for ranked and pro play, all while keeping gameplay fresh and exciting. Patch 14.10 tackles all these goals head-on.

LoL Patch 14.10 Highlights

ADC Item System Rework

Design Lead Phreak acknowledged that ADCs felt their items were weaker compared to other classes since Season 14 began. This, combined with the weak state of the ADC role overall, has led to a complete overhaul of the entire ADC item system in this upcoming patch! The key changes are as follows

• Legendary items that give Critical Chance will always give 25% instead of 20%
• No "perfect" item: Items will now only provide two stats, such as Attack Damage-Critical Strike, Attack Speed-Critical Strike, or Attack Damage-Attack Speed (no longer all three)
• Movement Speed becomes a core stat for ADCs
• New non-Crit items will be introduced

Rune system overhaul

Patch 14.10 brings a major rune rework. Several runes, including Lethal Tempo and Predator, will be removed to make way for new ones. The removal of Lethal Tempo, in particular, goes hand-in-hand with the ADC system overhaul. Since Marksmen can’t rely solely on this rune for Attack Speed anymore, Attack Speed purchases through items become more important.
