A particular highlight is the introduction of new mage jungle adjustments. As the community eagerly awaits the rollout of the patch, players and enthusiasts alike are analyzing and speculating on the potential impact of these alterations.
The season 14 preseason patch is looming large in the minds of players, and while they await its arrival, Patch 13.21 ensures that the current season remains dynamic and engaging.
