Release Date LoL Patch 13.23 Champion Buffs Champion Nerfs System Adjustments Skins

The penultimate patch of Season 13, Patch 13.23, is coming as we are approaching the end of the year for League of Legends.

League of Legends is almost at the end of the season, with the Preseason changes coming in the PBE server on November 20. Worlds 2023 is almost at its end, as T1 vs Weibo Gaming will be on November 19.

There will also be an Opening Ceremony featuring the new Heartsteel and NewJeans. Also, a concert celebrating Worlds 2023 on November 18 will have artists like (G)I-DLE, Alan Walker, Nicki Taylor, etc. That will be streamed on LCK Global’s streaming channels.

Coming back to updates, Patch 13.22 had some major changes. Mage Auto Attacks were retooled, while Seraphine, Briar, Janna, and Brand got pretty big changes. Overall, Riot made some solid changes in Patch 13.22.

With Patch 13.22 out in the live servers, Riot moved on to Patch 13.23. With this update, Riot is making some small changes in Patch 13.23, as some fine-tuning is being made before the final patch of the year.

So, with a small patch, there are not a whole lot of changes. Regardless, here are all the changes we know of so far.

Full preview for 13.23!

Our focus is on stabilizing the game for end of season climbs.

Ori/Syndra: While these Champs are undoubtedly strong for Elite players, some champ has to be the strongest. In regular play, these Champs are pretty balanced, so we're leaving them as is,… pic.twitter.com/putNHTgeqd

LoL Patch 13.23

It’s a relatively small patch with a few buffs and nerfs. The most major change so far is the Turret changes. Other than that, it seems like Riot is preparing for the Preseason. Here are all the changes.

Champion Buffs

There are four buffs coming in the early patch preview. In the latest one, Draven was added with a relatively small changes. Regardless, here they all are.

Draven

A small change was added to Patch 13.23 for Draven as his Whirling Death will now return even if he dies.

R – Whirling Death:
- Returns even if Draven is dead.

Janna

After the massive Patch 13.22 changes to Janna, Riot is doing a bit of a follow up. They are increasing how much Janna can harass in lane and this should be interesting to see how Janna continues to trend.

- Cooldown: 9/8.5/8/7.5/7 seconds >>> 8/7.5/7/6.5/6 seconds.

Riven

After the huge Riven post by Riot Phroxzon, there are some small Riven changes coming. Whether that makes things much better is a good question. This will be one to monitor in the following weeks.

Q – Broken Wings:
- Damage: 15/35/55/75/95 (+ 45/50/55/60/65% Bonus AD) >>> 15/35/55/75/95 (+ 50/55/60/65/70% Bonus AD).

Another small buff is coming and this time, it’s to Vel’Koz. The Passive numbers is getting some small improvements.

Five nerfs are coming as champions like Ziggs, K’Sante, and Briar continue to get changes patch after patch. Azir was also added onto this list. Here are all the nerfs.

Riot is putting more nerfs on Ziggs as Ziggs bot lane is still too strong.

System Adjustments

There is only one system adjustment coming and that is just some turret changes. Here are the details.

Turret Changes

Riot is making many Turret changes by adjusting the gold earned from Inner and Inhibitor Turrets. These changes have had mixed reception, with many players hating them while others like it.

These changes will promote side laning while still keeping snowballing to a limit. As outer turrets are not being affected, snowballing should not change much, if at all. Here are all the changes.
