The League of Legends World Championship is knocking on our doors on October 2nd. Riot Games is preparing for the greatest tournament of the year and finalising modifications for Patch 13.18.
For the time being, we will only receive the patches before to Worlds 2023. Patch 13.17 introduced several changes, including significant ones for Naafiri, and others. There were other item and system adjustments to try to balance the game. Riot Phroxzon stated that the majority of the items landed successfully, with few outliers discovered.
Riot is working hard to adjust the game for the competitive environment as the Worlds 2023 patch approaches. Patch 13.18 is the second-to-last patch before Worlds, since Riot will be fine-tuning the game, including the release of Briar.
