Hail the victorious three-peat champions, and welcome to Patch 26.14! This patch we have an array of changes to champs like locking down Locke, helping our favorite fish who's flopping a little in support, and hitting mute on the songstress in bot lane. Blue buff is getting a little bit of love, and we have some adjustments to a few items. Outside of Summoner's Rift, we've got some Mayhem and Arena adjustments for modes enjoyers, and Summoner's Rift Clash will be taking place this patch! So time to hit up the squad, give yourselves a punny name, and suddenly forget how to do even the most basic tasks in-game, if you're anything like my friend group.

System Updates: Blue Buff and Ranked Season 2 End

Blue Buff now grants ability haste scaling with level: 10 at levels 1-5, 15 at levels 6-10, and 20 at levels 11+. This change aims to increase the importance of securing Blue Buff. Additionally, Ranked Season 2 ends at local server time 23:59 on July 28, the last day of patch 26.14. Season 3 begins at 12:00 PM noon on July 29. Ranked queues will be disabled during the transition, and shard transfer services will be paused. The Victorious Ranked mission for 15 wins will refresh at the start of the new season.

ARAM Mayhem Adjustments

Mayhem mode gets a round of augment changes to reduce frustration and increase variety. Dimension Shift cooldown reduced to 75 seconds, stats increased, and now deals 1 damage to structures. Poro Stampede spawn time reduced, base damage increased. Squishy Slappy Grab shield per slappee increased and now executes if accumulated damage is high enough. The augment RNG system has been tweaked to avoid offering the same types of augments too often.

All changes are based on the official Patch 26.14 Notes from Riot Games. For full details, visit the League of Legends patch notes page.
