League of Legends Season 14 Start Date

The League of Legends Season 14 Start Date should be January 10, 2024. There is a chance it is the week before that on January 3, 2024 as well.

When looking for when the season starts, it is generally easy enough if one looks at the seasons before. It is almost always about a month after the last patch of the year. Generally, this last patch is right around the beginning of December. This year, patch 13.24 will be released on December 6.

It is still a bit far away to confirm this but all signs are pointing to this being the start date with how methodical the League of Legends team is.

League of Legends Map Changes

LoL Top Lane Changes

The top lane has further bushes placed — which means it’ll be harder to spam lane ganks from now on. There’s still the same tri bush, but the bush leading into the river is further away. Therefore, top laners will be able to see junglers from closer without the need to ward it immediately. The bush is also far smaller, and not connected to vulnerable sections of sight.

LoL Top Lane changesLoL Top Lane changes

This has massive implications for the meta. A common technique, especially in solo queue, is to spam gank a lane after it succeeds the first time. But since the bushes leading into the top lane are now blocked off by terrain or right next to the turret, this provides far more safety as a whole. Junglers will have to plan ganks far more effectively from now on, instead of simply bush camping.

LoL Mid Lane Changes

The mid lane changes are more symmetrical now. Before, the bottom bush had far more precedence due to the ease of ganking upwards from the dragon side river. Combine this with roaming supports, and castor mages had little to no chance of surviving a gank.

This makes mobility less essential, since similar to the top lane, the bush is positioned further down rather than right next to the lane. Therefore, casters can be safer. Champions won’t need a dash at all times to outplay ganks.

LoL Bot Lane Changes

Getting ganked by a four man in the bot lane is far too common of an occurrence. They seemingly come out of nowhere all the time — but the new changes attempt to prevent this.
