Riot Games has stepped in with yet another round of modifications with the League of Legends Patch 13.15, including a couple of enhancements to champions that many players already find difficult to play against.
This League patch 13.15 features seven champion buffs and six champion nerfs, as well as major changes to three more.
The focus in patch 13.15, according to Matt Leung-Harrison, who runs over the various League improvements, is on assisting struggling champions while knocking dominant selections like Aatrox and Kai’Sa down. The Rift’s newest champion, Naafiri, was similarly judged “a bit too strong” before Riot changed their minds.
The forthcoming patch will bring 10 champion buffs and changes. The majority of these changes are significant, and their individual champions may return to the solo queue meta. Whereas Riot Games isn’t afraid to take down strong meta picks like Kai’Sa, Ivern, Maokai, Aatrox, Sejuani, and Shyvana.
