League of Legends Patch 26.14 has been live since July 15, 2026. It's a tuning patch right after MSI (won by Hanwha Life): Riot lifts a handful of underperforming champions and reins in the strongest picks from last patch, including the newly released Locke. Here's every change, before/after values included, plus the skins and the season transition. Source: official Riot notes.

Patch 26.14: what actually changes

The theme: give room back to underplayed champions (Corki, Mordekaiser, Yunara) and cool down dominant picks (Garen, Locke, Senna). On the item side, several AP and sustain options are toned down while Blue Buff gets a quality-of-life boost. Nothing revolutionary, but enough to move the meta right before season's end.

Coach tip: end-of-season patches are the best window to spam a buffed champion before everyone catches on. Corki and Mordekaiser gain consistency and Yunara scales faster — if you want one last tier before Season 2 closes, this is the moment.

Locke, the champion of the moment, takes a nerf to his Q and Grey Health in Patch 26.14.

Skins & shop

Patch 26.14 brings the highly anticipated T1 Worlds 2025 skin collection (T1 Galio, Xin Zhao, Seraphine, Ambessa, Yunara and the MVP T1 Miss Fortune skin), celebrating the first three-peat world champions in LoL history. Victorious Rengar lands alongside them. Released July 15.

End of Season 2: what to know

Patch 26.14 is the last patch of Season 2: the season ends on July 28, 2026 at 23:59. Season 3 starts July 29 at noon (server time) with Patch 26.15. If you want to lock in your end-of-season rank and rewards, you have only a few days left — now is the time.

26.14 is a classic transition patch: no upheaval, but enough movement to reward players who adapt fast. Buffed champions are the best entry point, and the end-of-season window is short. If you're stuck or short on time before July 28, the ElevateBoost team offers LoL boosting and coaching to secure your tier without burning your evenings.
