The new patch brings one of the strongest top laners back to the jungle

One of the strengths of League of Legends is the many regular updates. Players always have to adapt to new circumstances. In some cases, this even changes the lane in which a champion is played. Maybe the same in the latest patch.

Which patch is it? Tomorrow, April 3rd, the new patch 14.7 will be released. The highlights include:

  • Reworked by Skarner
  • Buffs and nerfs to champions, especially junglers
  • New set of April Fools’ themed skins
  • Here you will find out 7 exciting facts about LoL:

    The Berserker of the Jungle

    One of the oldest champions in LoL is Olaf, the Berserker. Not only does he have a lot of health, but he also has a powerful ult. This puts him into rage mode, which gives him running speed and immunity to crowd control effects.

    Starting out as a jungler, Olaf developed over the years into a feared top laner. But apparently developer Riot Games now wants to see Olaf back in his original role.

    League Content Creator Spideraxe reports (via X) the following changes to Olaf, which have already been tested in the PBE (Public Beta Environment) for the upcoming patch:

  • suction (Q): deals 5-25 bonus damage to monsters
  • Clench your teeth (W): Attack speed buff increases from 4 to 5 seconds; the mana cost increases from 30 to 50
  • Reckless Swing (E): Cooldown refund increases to 2 seconds against monsters
  • Ragnarok (R): additional attack damage increases from 10-30 to 15-25; Running speed increases from 20%-70% to 30%-70%; now costs 100 mana
  • The increased mana costs in particular show that Riot wants to banish Olaf from his current position. Because mana is already a big problem for Olaf in the top lane, even if he still dominates there. The increased damage to monsters will also ensure better jungle clearing.

    Are you excited about the changes? Or would you have preferred Olaf to continue playing in the top lane? Feel free to write it to us in the comments.
