Looking for a strictly 14 inch and below laptop for work and occasional light gaming like Dota 2, Lol, L4D,….
I believe anything with a dedicated graphics card, even GTX 1050, is enough for my need.
I will carry it around everyday too, so it would be great if it's not too heavy and has some decent battery. But I'm willing to compromise on this.
Budget is 1100 or less, strict. I really like the Lenovo Legion but the screen size kills it for me.
Those games should run fine on a Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 4000 series APU / CPU. DOTA2, LOL and L4D are games that came out 2013~2014 using really old game engine and they should run on Integrated graphics just fine.

should be plenty of laptop deals as it's nearly EOFY. Have a scroll thru our Laptop tag
Just make sure the laptop you're buying has dual channel memory,. AMD Ryzen GPU's are highly dependant on RAM bandwidth, having only single channel memory will cripple it's gaming performance.
