League Patch 13.3 Full Preview: Jungle ganks changes, Kayle, Lee Sin buffs, Amumu nerfs, and more

League of Legends is getting back to its regular update schedule, as patch 13.3 is on the way

With patch 13.3, Riot will make big changes to League of Legends. Overall, patch 13.1B introduced Fighter item adjustments as well as ADC tweaks. Patch 13.3 will be the next significant update, as Riot is bringing in more changes. Riot Phreak has teased support adjustments a while earlier, as well as new jungle gank modifications.

In addition, a handful of League of Legends champions may return to the meta, as lead designer Matt “Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison said in his tweet. Champions like Kayle, Kayn, and more, have all fallen out of the meta, are targeted to receive buffs for this patch. Without further ado, let’s go through all of the changes coming in League of Legends Patch 13.3.

Pulled back Pantheon, Thresh & Pyke in order to not creep too much damage and being careful not to over-swing after 13.2 GW and Enchanter changes.
