League of Legends is as popular a MOBA as ever, with an ever-changing nature of nerfs, buffs, and adjustments. With each new patch, there’s always something to change from the previous one, since some Champions are pretty broken right now.
Today, we’ll go over all the latest League of Legends 14.3 Patch Notes to get you up to speed with the latest changes, additions to the game, and some updates you need to know about!
And remember, if you need to buy League accounts or are looking to buy LOL boosting and coaching services, U7BUY has got you covered!
Patch Notes Highlights
The focus of the latest patch notes is to make up for the big changes to the latest Champion and item meta that were greatly affected by the League’s latest itemization overhaul.
In particular, they’re addressing changes that will lower burst damage in the game from proc-damage items. Additionally, there are a few more changes to some Champions like Nidalle and Ziggs that were greatly nerfed by the massive changes to their core items by buffing up their durability.
And of course, you can expect nerfs to the Champions that’ve been almost broken thanks to the new itemization systems.
Overall, it’s important to note exactly which Champions and items are getting an overhaul to keep up with the meta.
Minimum System Requirements Update & Vanguard Implementation
Other than game changes and adjustments, there are a few more things to note with the latest 14.3 patch notes. In particular, League of Legends players on older PCs and systems have until February 21st, the release of Patch 14.4 to upgrade their PCs.
League of Legends is updating its minimum system requirements, and will no longer support Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.
Additionally, there are a few updates to the Vanguard system implementation which was originally supposed to happen pretty soon. Vanguard is Riot Games’ new anti-cheat system that will be required for all their PC games.
With Patch 14.3, there is a new diagnostics tool that will verify your PC and if it’s ready for the updated anti-cheat system.
The new Vanguard system is scheduled to launch with Patch 14.5, which should be sometime in March.
