With sweeping changes introduced in Season 14’s first patch, it’s no surprise that Riot Games is keeping a close eye on the game’s state and working quickly to smooth out any rough edges. In just a few days after launch, a hotfix patch, 14.1b, is already slated to hit the servers soon.
Game designer Matt “Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison reports the dev team is pleased with how the patch landed. No critical bugs have emerged, and champion balance remains stable. Ahead of patch 14.2, the 14.1b hotfix patch will focus on addressing the most glaring outliers, including champion adjustments and tweaks to items and systems.
LoL 14.1b patch notes
Here are the highlights from the LoL 14.1b patch notes, revealed by Riot Phroxzon on X (Twitter):
Character adjustments
Champion buffs:
- Zed: Increased power to compensate for weaker state of Ravenous Hydra
- Zac: Adjusted to compensate for removed item, Radiant Virtue
- Naafiri: Overall performance boost
- Corki, Ezreal: Buffed due to Tri-Force changes affecting ranged users

Champion nerfs:
- Fizz, Gwen, Kayle, Singed, Teemo: Items benefiting them too much, so slight nerfs incoming
Item and system changes:
- Stormsurge: Nerfed due to being too strong, especially for champions like Fizz, Ekko, Katarina, Kennen
- Rocketbelt: Smaller nerf alongside Stormsurge
- Lethality: Early game nerfs, affecting champions like Aphelios
- Hydras (Profane, Ravenous, Tiamat): Buffs to improve their performance
- Fighters & Tanks: May be in a decent spot after AP top lane nerfs
- Heartsteel and Stride seem weak while Titanic appears a bit strong, adjustments are planned
- Supports: Overall good spot, Trailblazer seems strong, further observation is needed
LoL 14.1b release date
The 14.1b hotfix patch will come out on 12 January, around 10 PM GMT.
