All Buffs & Nerfs in LoL Patch 14.1b
On 12th January, Lead Designer: League Balance Team & Preseason Matt Leung-Harrison aka Riot Phroxzon took to Twitter to note that the overall feeling of the first patch of Season 2024 was positive and that that Riot is simply focusing on changing the snowball effect. While the publisher is not taking drastic actions right now, it is releasing some general nerfs.
Phroxzon said, "So far, it's [snowball] not so high that we feel we need to take drastic action, other than being a bit more nerf heavy than buff heavy. But we're monitoring closely."
