Patch 13.22 League of Legends promises to be a particularly intriguing update, as it prominently emphasizes the application of nerfs and various adjustments. This recurring pattern of implementing more nerfs than buffs reflects Riot Games’ unwavering commitment to maintaining a balanced and enjoyable experience for its player base.
As we look ahead to the first update of November, Riot Games is poised to introduce a series of substantial changes. These adjustments encompass three buffs, seven nerfs, and three significant adjustments for champions that have been under close scrutiny throughout Season 13 meta. Riot’s lead game designer, Phroxzon, has confirmed these developments in anticipation of the patch’s highly-anticipated release.
LoL players can already delve into the freshly released LoL patch 13.22, which went live on November 8, 2023. Although it’s important to note that not every single buff, nerf, and adjustment may ultimately make it through the rigorous League PBE, it’s safe to assume that the majority of these changes will become a part of the game midway through the week, significantly shaping the competitive landscape of the Summoner’s Rift.
