Patch 14.2 for League of Legends Released

Article | By Riot Games on July 24, 2026 | Game: League of Legends

The newest patch for League of Legends has officially hit the live servers, and it brings massive sweeping changes to the mid lane meta. If you main mages, this is the patch you've been waiting for.

Mid Lane Balance Changes

Riot Games explicitly stated that their goal for 14.2 was to tone down the dominance of highly mobile assassins while giving traditional control mages more breathing room during the laning phase.

  • Ahri (Nerfed): Spirit Rush cooldown increased by 20 seconds at all ranks. Base movement speed slightly reduced.
  • Syndra (Buffed): Dark Sphere base damage increased by 10 at early levels. Scatter the Weak stun duration increased by 0.25 seconds.
  • Zed (Adjusted): Razor Shuriken damage scaling modified to reward late-game lethality builds rather than early-game snowballing.

New Skins Released

This patch also introduces the highly anticipated Primal Ambush skin line, featuring wildly colorful, neon-jungle aesthetics for Talon, Sivir, Riven, and Vi. These skins are currently available in the store for 1350 RP each.
