Early Patch Notes for League of Legends 14.3

League of Legends is gearing up for its next Patch, 14.3 to roll out later this week and there’s a lot to get excited about.

Now Smoulder is in the mix things are expected to shake up in Summoner’s Rift and this patch has a lot to complement the new Dragon addition. This comes in the form of champion changes, item changes, and a whole collection of fresh skins.

Here is a glimpse at what we know is happening during the League Patch 14.3 content cycle.

An early look at LoL Patch 14.3

Despite Smoulder being released early, League Patch 14.3 still has a powerful Dragon presence as Aurelion Sol gets some much-needed attention bolstering its power and making it a more viable choice for proactive play and early-game agency. 

Almost Aurelion Sol’s entire kit is getting a tune-up this Patch with significant changes to its Q, W, and E. If you’re an Aurelion Sol main you’ll definitely want to get familiar with exactly what’s coming before the Patch gets here.

Ziggs and Zyra are also both receiving buffs in Patch 14.3 with the former’s armor being increased and the cooldown for Satchel Charge being decreased. Zyra’s Deadly Spines has had its cost reduced and Rampant Growth cooldown refunds have been increased.

Lillia has received a pair of nerfs with the biggest being the AP scaling of her Q reduced from 45 percent to 35 percent.

It shouldn’t be any surprise but items continue to be an area of attention for Riot with Patch 14.3 More than 20 will be getting changes this patch and some we are already aware of include Statikk Shiv, Archangel’s Staff, Luden’s Companion, and more. You can see the details of these changes and more than we know below.

Finally, there are plenty of new looks joining Summoner’s Rift with this update. Many of these fall into the fresh new Heavenscale skin range adding to the overall Dragon-aesthetic of Patch 14.3.
