League of Legends Patch 14.17 paves the way for Worlds-focused change as Riot Games gets to work constructing a competitive metagame for the MOBA title’s biggest esports event through bot lane changes and increasing champion viability.

With the 2024 League World Championship just around the corner, the League developers are lasering in on the champion, runes, items, and overall style of gameplay they want to see at the pinnacle event when it gets started in Europe in September. There’ll be more, of course—League Patch 14.19 should be the official update—but Riot still wants as much time working to all the balance goals as possible.
