LoL Patch 13.16 Notes Overview
Patch 13.15 was probably the most anticipated updates of the season, given the addition of LoL Enviornment and the beginning of the Soul Fighter occasion.
Whereas gamers have been having fun with the latest 2v2v2v2 recreation mode, we acquired some attention-grabbing takeaways from the beginning of the second ranked cut up.
First is that the meta is slowly however absolutely shifting, with new energy picks on the rise. Champions like Zyra and Xerath have been dominating the help pool, and a basic transition to extra poke-based champions.
It’s because LoL has been transitioning an increasing number of to champions that spike significantly effectively within the mid recreation, and permit them to get vital benefits across the goal fights. Naafiri, the latest champion of the sport, is amongst these profitable picks.
And although Riot has been concentrating on particular champions with the hopes of nerfing and decreasing their presence, there are numerous extra that may want some tweaks to steadiness them out.
As a matter of reality, Riot recreation designer Phroxzon pushed out the tentative checklist of modifications for Patch 13.16, with 10 champion buffs and 5 nerfs, alongside some main nerfs to Duskblade of Draktharr, which has been working effectively on some non-intended champions. Lastly, I don’t need to play in opposition to Aatrox one-shotting me with a combo…
Beneath you could find all of the numbers included within the patch preview, in addition to our evaluation of how the modifications will influence the meta.
Give up vote modifications coming as effectively
One other massive and impactful change is coming to LoL, one thing that may not directly assist gamers give attention to the sport and doubtlessly decrease the poisonous interactions inside recreation lobbies. Riot devs have confirmed they are going to be implementing a 6-minute cooldown interval on particular person gamers for surrendering, which means that they received’t have the ability to spam FF as a lot as earlier than (lastly).
That mentioned, the worldwide cooldown will nonetheless be 3 minutes (different gamers can nonetheless name give up inside shorter intervals of time). Moreover, the vote is robotically resolved as quickly because the give up vote can’t be handed, eliminating the field that often stays even when there are sufficient destructive votes. On high of that, gamers may even have the ability to specify the kind of give up request, starting from AFK give up, regular give up, or remake.
Immortal Journey Skins coming to Patch 13.16
Riot will launch the Immortal Journey Skins Patch 13.16, with 5 completely different champions included. And one in all them will obtain a Status Version pores and skin. Personally, I really like the splash artwork of the skins and have at all times loved the non secular warriors’ theme with vivid colours and highly effective weapons, so it is perhaps time for me to open my pockets (I’m debating).

How will the upcoming patch influence the meta?
Among the many varied buffs and nerfs for this patch, probably the most notable ones to me are the Duskblade of Draktharr nerf, the Akali-Ekko buffs, and the nerfs to Shaco and Shyvana.
The murderer merchandise has been far too highly effective on non-intended champions so it’s lastly getting gutted, though I nonetheless assume champions like Aatrox and Jayce will often construct it in particular matchups. Akali and Ekko’s buffs are going to push them effectively again into the meta, particularly the previous: the Q power value happening is so big and it’ll enhance her early-game energy a lot extra pre-level 6.
Shaco and Shyvana have been two of probably the most profitable champions within the patch. Shaco has been bullying individuals left and proper within the backside lane, so he received’t be as oppressive going ahead. Shyvana, as a substitute, must be a bit weaker within the decrease ranks, the place she was performing too effectively.
Curious to see how the Karma buffs will influence her presence: there are a few champions that work along with her proper now (taking a look at you Ezreal) so let’s see whether or not she might be pushed near S-tier territory.
