Iconic neutral League of Legends objective Baron Nashor is slated to become stronger, with Riot Games looking to build its power up again with plotted Patch 14.8 changes after the gameplay team deemed it “too unthreatening” in its current state.
This would be a big change at any time of year, but Patch 14.8 is a particularly significant League update as it’s also set to shape the upcoming 2024 Mid-Season Invitational metagame. MSI, one of the most highly anticipated events in the League calendar, is just around the corner, and teams are going to be faced with another hurdle to overcome; with Baron Nashor receiving attack buffs, dynamics may change, similar to how we saw gameplay changes after the Baron overhaul in Patch 14.1 as teams chose between killing the Baron for global buffs and gold or leaving the objective behind to focus on teamfights.
