In the League of Legends 13.23 Patch, Riot Games has targeted changes for nine champions, including Janna, Riven, Trundle, and Vel’Koz receiving buffs. Meanwhile, the fresh faces Briar, K’Sante, and Naafiri, along with the reigning meta beast Jarvan IV and Ziggs, are set to be nerfed. Notably, no adjustments are planned for items or runes in this patch.
Riot Phroxzon, fulfilling an earlier commitment, confirmed the reintegration of some snowballing potential by enhancing gold-sharing for inner objectives in the game. Now, let's delve into the specifics of what the League of Legends 13.23 Patch has in store.
League of Legends 13.23 Patch Notes
The main focus of the LoL 13.23 update, as explained by @RiotPhoxron, is to stabilize the game for the end-of-season climbs in League of Legends. Here are the key adjustments being made to various champions:
- Orianna and Syndra: While they remain potent among elite players, they'll avoid excessive nerfs in regular play to maintain a balanced status.
- Janna: Her previous cooldown buff is being reinstated and her harass is being enhanced, aiming to make her gameplay more interactive.
- Riven: General power buffs are in the works without precisely defining her long-term status, with a wait-and-see approach regarding how item updates might affect her performance.
- Trundle: Strengthening his synergies with Sheen to facilitate trading and wave control, specifically targeting improvements in the top lane.
- Azir: Changes remain unspecified, redirecting players to specific details shared on Twitter.
- Vel'Koz: Buffs are incoming for his passive to reward his core gameplay loop.
- Briar: Expect nerfs to her early fighting power and scaling to balance her strength as players become more skilled with her.
- K'Sante: Adjustments aim to reduce his early fighting capabilities and moderate his power spike at level 6, introducing weaknesses against duelists and toning down his constant threat.
- Naafiri: The strength of her packmates is being reduced to highlight the significance of skillful Q usage against her.
- Jarvan: His Q ability's frequency is being scaled back due to its excessive strength, particularly in Shojin builds.
- Ziggs: Further nerfs are planned to address his potency in the bot lane, following previous adjustments.
- Turret Gold: Strategic play in the side lanes will be incentivized by adding gold to objectives there, seeking to balance out strategies between split pushing and dragon stacking.
This is just an overview of what the next LoL patch has in store for us. The detailed League of Legends 13.23 patch notes have been shared below:
League of Legends 13.23 Champion Buffs and Nerfs
This update is essentially divided into two halves: older characters like Janna, Trundle, and Vel'Koz are given a slight boost towards the 2024 metagame, while new champions like Briar, K'Sante, and Naafiri are given the nerfs paddle.
Even though Riot developers had previously stated they would hold off on adjustments for Riven because she had "legitimate problems," she is receiving enhancements in this version.
For being "too strong," Jarvan IV is also receiving more nerfs.
