Despite a plethora of changes in the last few patches, players have been complaining about the meta remaining stale. Some champions and synergies simply remain too powerful. With League of Legends patch 13.13, Riot aims to nerf some over-tuned champions and let the meta stabilise.
Some items have also been adjusted once more, as while Statik Shiv's glorious return was a sight to behold, it has had to go through changes every patch since its release. So let's get into League of Legends patch 13.13 and what it entails for your favourite champions and builds.
When is the League of Legends patch 13.13 release date?
According to the patch schedule, League of Legends patch 13.13 is set to release on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, at 3 am PT. The patch update usually takes place around the following times for different servers:
- 3 AM PT (NA servers)
- 5 AM GMT (WEU servers)
- 3 AM CET (EEU servers)
- 8 AM KR (Korea)
Patch updates usually take three hours, after which you can update your client and get the latest updates for your game. This schedule is concrete, and Riot informs players of any deviations 48 hours prior.
League of Legends patch 13.13 notes
As mentioned earlier, League of Legends patch 13.13 will mostly revolve around nerfing champions and making system changes to others. Riot was experimenting a lot with bruiser changes before the patch released, but have since shifted their focus as they cancelled the Sett and Mordekaiser changes. Here's a full list of the expected changes from League of Legends patch 13.13.
Note that the early patch leaks are all courtesy of SpiderAxe30, and are subject to change when League of Legends patch 13.13 ships out on live servers. We'll keep updating information as it comes out.
