New champion Ambessa, new ARAM Bridge of Progress map, and a handful of item reworks go live in LoL Patch 14.22!

League of Legends Patch 14.22 is here bringing the newest champion Ambessa Medarda and the Bridge of Progress ARAM update to celebrate the launch of Arcane Season 2! Check out the LoL Patch 14.22 notes here.

League of Legends Patch 14.22 Notes

The Chosen of the Wolf skins for Ambessa, Katarina, Pantheon, Kindred, and Swain (and his Prestige edition) will be available on November 6th, 2024 at 19:00 UTC. Check out the skins here.

There are no big differences from last week's 14.22 preview apart from Warwick's adjustments. K'Sante is also now labeled as a nerf instead of an adjustment, while Irelia is now an adjustment instead of a straight-up buff.

League of Legends patch 14.22 remakes the ARAM game mode! It will now take place in the Bridge of Progress, with one side being Piltover and the other being Zaun. There are new gameplay mechanics, slight adjustments, and Arcane Season 2 easter eggs for everyone to enjoy!

There are five new Arcane-aligned Nemesis Quests that give you and your team bonus rewards when claimed.

Returning players will get placed against a bot team when they play the Bridge of Progress ARAM. This will apply to accounts who haven't played any PvP matches in 6 months.

When will the Bridge of Progress ARAM go live?

It will be live on LoL Patch 14.22, on November 6th, 2024 at 19:00 UTC, like the other new content for this patch.
