Riot Games is gearing up for a slightly more subdued League of Legends balance cycle as they take a moment to catch their breath in preparation for the exciting Season 14 ahead.
LoL patch 13.22 is set to bring a mix of buffs, nerfs, and adjustments that promise to have a significant impact when it arrives in November. Riot is committed to making every alteration count in this upcoming update, ensuring the game’s evolving meta remains engaging and balanced.
Specifically, you can expect to see 3 champions receiving buffs, 7 getting the nerf treatment, and 3 undergoing substantial adjustments in patch 13.22, according to Riot Phroxzon. Riot’s watchful eye has been closely tracking these champions throughout the progression of Season 13, making these changes particularly noteworthy.
In a departure from the norm, the dev team has opted not to tinker with items or runes in this patch, and gameplay systems will remain untouched. This suggests a focus on champion balance and the fine-tuning of the existing ecosystem rather than introducing new variables into the mix.
