The next update for League of Legends Patch 13.22 is coming with mostly nerfs and adjustments.
As we go approach January, League of Legends is almost at the end of Season 13. Worlds 2023 going into the last stage of the tournament signifies the end of this year as well. All in all, League of Legends is going to get a ton of changes and has already gotten some.
Patch 13.21 came out with some massive changes, like the Seraphine, Brand, and Zyra changes. Alongside those, Riot also put in multiple buffs and nerfs. Going along with that trend, it seems Riot is moving towards more nerfs and adjustments once more.
Thus, Patch 13.22 is following that trend as it will have more nerfs than buffs once more. Also, there are multiple adjustments coming in as well. With that said, we finally have our hands on the Patch Preview.
There are some interesting changes coming with Riot updating the Mage Basic Attack system. Also, there are a lot of nerfs and some major champion adjustments coming. The only omission is the lack of changes to items, which signifies Riot is working on the preseason on that front. Thus, here is what we are getting in Patch 13.22.
