League of Legends 13.22 Patch Notes
The League of Legends 13.22 patch continues the trend of having more nerfs than buffs. Riot aiming to update the metagame so that it has a significant impact when LoL Season 14 comes out.
Champion Buffs
- Dr. Mundo
- Rammus
- “Mage Attack Speed Sweep”
Champion Nerfs
- Briar
- Graves
- Kassadin
- Nilah
- Senna
- Tahm Kench
- Ziggs
Champion Adjustments
- Brand
- Seraphine
- Janna
- Gragas
In League of Legends Patch 13.22, Riot Phroxzon outlined some important changes and considerations:
- Mage Attack Speed: Mages have been relying on the Attack Speed rune shard, which indicates that their attack frames are outdated. We're adjusting these values to make sure mages don't feel obligated to take the shard. We'll address any balance issues that arise from this change.
- Janna: We've noticed that Janna's play experience has become less satisfying over time. We're reverting some recent changes and shifting her back towards a version that focuses more on her W ability, with a higher attack range and increased speed.
- Jungle Changes: There are no direct changes to the jungle itself in this patch. We've made adjustments to champions within the jungle. After the AD ratio reversion to the jungle item, the role's balance feels good, along with its power level.
- Mundo, Rammus, Seraphine, Tahm: We went a bit too far with these champions, especially Seraphine in solo lanes. We'll be reverting some of the changes for these champions. For Seraphine, we might explore alternative adjustments.
- Balance Outliers: The rest of the champions in this list either directly benefited from 13.20 (and subsequent changes) in terms of scaling (Senna, Kassadin, Nilah), or they are simply strong on this patch and need to be toned down.
- Brand: Changes to Brand are aimed at boosting his power in mid and jungle, without making him stronger as a support. We want to ensure that Brand doesn't become significantly more powerful in the support role, so these adjustments are focused on mid and jungle.
And that's not all - we are also getting the Heartsteel skins. Riot is dropping seven new skins, including two for Yone and a new Legendary skin for Kayn.
League of Legends 13.22 Champion Buffs and Nerfs
In this LoL 13.22 patch, there are only three buffs to look out for. The most substantial one is the mage attack speed adjustments. Additionally, Dr. Mundo and Rammus are also slated for some changes. On the other side, seven nerfs are on the horizon for the LoL 13.22 patch, with some interesting additions.
