League of Legends 13.20 patch notes - champion buffs and nerfs, skins, release date, more

League of Legends 13.20 patch notes will be revealed soon, coming with complete champion buffs and nerfs, adjustments, several system and item changes, new skins, and more.

League of Legends 13.20 patch notes have been revealed.

LoL Patch 13.19 has been officially released, designated as the Worlds Patch. It focuses on professional play, aiming for a balanced state at the biggest tournament of the year. Now, looking ahead, the League of Legends 13.20 patch is anticipated to be a substantial game-changer.

Game designer Spideraxe has revealed that we can expect a major rework for K'Sante, some new buffs and nerfs, and significant alterations to runes, dragons, and the jungle. Riot is also adjusting the Doran starting and support items, providing them with more potency while removing the option to stack them.

In LoL patch 13.20, several significant changes and considerations were discussed by @RiotPhroxzon:

1. K'Sante Project: This project aims to maintain K'Sante's fun and identity while addressing his pro-play dominance. This involves adjustments to his W ability for tank form, moving it toward a warden output.
2. Jungle Changes: The patch introduces nerfs to jungle strength across various aspects. The focus is on elements that junglers may not be as concerned about, to preserve the role's enjoyment.
3. Snowball Reduction: The adjustments made in patch 12.14 regarding Dragons and sustain have been further refined. The aim is to reduce snowballing, particularly in Elite. This includes diminishing the value of early dragons while keeping Soul's power intact. Additionally, there are changes to Runes, Herald, Death Timers, and Plates.

For Nerfs:

1. Duskblade: It's considered a bit stronger compared to Eclipse and Ghostblade. Adjustments are being made to bring it in line.
2. Bel'Veth: Deemed too potent in the early game, changes are focused on this aspect.
3. Zed: His mage-like outputs, especially in synergy with Ravenous, are currently too potent. Adjustments are being made to encourage moving into E max, as his pattern is currently too mage-oriented.
4. Kaisa: Her Umbral build has gained popularity and is proving to be too strong. Some adjustments are being made, particularly as she's considered one of the top picks, especially in Elite.

For Buffs:

1. Galio: Can receive a slight increase from the previous patch while still keeping losing matchups against mages intact.
2. Ghostblade: It's considered slightly weaker than alternatives and not as pattern-warping as Duskblade.
3. Blighting Jewel: After a durability update, it was nerfed to compensate for increased resistance. The aim is to balance it relative to Void Staff, so it's not the dominant component.

With the Worlds patch shipped, there's reduced risk in buffing champions like Azir and Orianna, for whom this buff might have had a relatively larger impact.

League of Legends 13.20 Champion Buffs and Nerfs

Details on champion nerfs and buffs have been revealed completely for the League of Legends 13.20 patch.

LoL 13.20 Champion Nerfs

Quinn

Recently, Quinn has been playing exceptionally well in the top lane. She appears to be able to tolerate more than is appropriate for a marksman champion, therefore Riot wants to reduce her survivability in the forthcoming LoL 13.20 patch.

LoL 13.20 Champion Buffs

Milio

Recently Milio has been excellent in the game. Riot, however, thought he was a little bit too powerful, which is why Nerfs rapidly followed. Buffs are more than necessary because he is no longer able to keep up with the other supports.

League of Legends 13.20 Champion Adjustments

K'Sante's performance has fluctuated between problematic and overly potent since his debut in November 2022. A significant K'Sante rework for League of Legends is forthcoming to solve this. The bruiser's health, armor growth, passive skill, Ntofo Strikes, Path Maker, and All Out abilities will all undergo changes.
