Patch 13.20 is coming out soon, with this being one of the biggest updates this year.
With the Worlds Patch done and dusted for League of Legends, the dev team is moving on to bigger changes and the Preseason. Patch 13.19 marks the end of the competitive cycle, with Worlds 2023 coming up very soon. That said, Patch 13.19 did not make many sweeping changes.
Initially, it was just the Rek’Sai changes that was the big one in the patch. However, Riot later added Briar and LeBlanc changes to the fold. Other than that, the patch wasn’t that huge in terms of changes.
The same cannot be said for Patch 13.20, as we are already getting huge news about changes coming to this update. K’Sante is set to get huge changes while many other systems are getting sweeping adjustments. That and more is coming in Patch 13.20. Here is all we know so far including the early patch preview by Riot.
