League of Legends patch 14.21 early notes: Swain rework, heavy Irelia nerfs & more

As a seasoned League of Legends veteran with over 10 years under my belt, I can confidently say that patch 14.21 is shaping up to be quite the roller coaster ride for us gamers. The Swain rework has certainly piqued my interest, and while it’s a bit daunting to digest all those changes, I’m eager to see how he fares in the meta.


Despite undergoing significant modifications in recent months, Patch 14.21 for League of Legends continues to surge forward without any signs of deceleration. Notably, the champion Swain has received a revamp, while carry top laners like Irelia and Camille have been scaled back slightly.

Keep in mind that these are preliminary updates and may still undergo modifications before they’re finalized. At present, we have a clearer idea of the upcoming changes based on the adjustments made on the Public Beta Environment (PBE). However, it’s important to note that the full patch is not yet complete at this stage.

Following closely on the updates of version 14.20, League of Legends is preparing for yet another wave of alterations. Below you’ll find the preliminary details for patch 14.21:

Swain rework

In a simplified and conversational manner: Swain’s revamped version is quite dynamic. His fundamental skills remain largely the same, but the manner in which they function and the ways he employs them have undergone significant transformations. For an in-depth examination of his extensive change log, you can delve into details about Swain’s rework here.

For now, though, here’s a quick summary:

  • Swain’s ult now has multiple activations, allowing him to use the burst of damage more than once over the course of its duration
  • His E no longer does damage going out, but it has more burst if it lands
  • He’s still got healing built into his kit, but it’s been reduced across the board
