The highly anticipated League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) is just around the corner, set to take place in Chengdu, China starting on May 1, 2024. This annual event brings together the top LoL esports teams from around the world to compete on the international stage, showcasing their skills and representing their regions.
One of the key aspects that fans are eager to learn about is the patch that will be used during MSI 2024. This year, the tournament will be played on the designated LoL patch 14.8, introducing some significant changes and updates to the game.
One of the notable adjustments in patch 14.8 is the mechanical change to Mordekaiser’s ultimate ability. The update reverts the ability to its previous state, where it cannot be cleansed using Quicksilver Sash (QSS). This change could have a significant impact on gameplay, especially in professional matches where every move counts.
Moreover, the patch includes buffs to 16 champions, such as Akali, Draven, Ryze, Thresh, Viego, and Yone. These buffs are likely to shake up the competitive scene, potentially leading to the increased presence of these champions during the tournament.
Additionally, adjustments have been made to Voidgrubs and Baron, with the latter now dealing slightly more damage to champions. These tweaks aim to enhance gameplay dynamics and strategic choices, adding another layer of complexity to the matches.
LoL patch 14.8 officially went live on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, paving the way for teams and players to adapt to the changes and fine-tune their strategies ahead of the MSI 2024 showdown. With the stakes higher than ever and the competition fiercer, fans can expect an action-packed and thrilling tournament that will determine the next MSI champion and secure a spot at the World Championship.
