High killers, highly effective jungle characters, and Immortal Shieldbow customers are all top-billed in League of Legends Patch 13.17, although it’s not excellent news for some.
This League replace (which, for these counting, marks two until the Worlds patch) contains 21 champion modifications—9 buffs, 5 nerfs, and 7 huge changes—in addition to eight merchandise tweaks and one rune change.
The largest focus for the Riot Video games builders this time round is taking some prime champions off “pure killing energy builds” and transferring them towards sturdiness, according to League balance boss Matt Leung-Harrison. This contains heaped modifications Aatrox, Xin Zhao, Vi, and Hecarim.
There may even be some assist (within the type of buffs, after all) for any champions affected by the Immortal Shieldbow modifications from earlier patches.
Extra jungler picks may even be shuffled round by way of modifications. Riot was planning to buff a number of weaker junglers up barely, however Leung-Harrison says plans have modified to “nerfing the highest junglers down” in a bid to raised stage out the impression the position is having on video games this season.
Lastly, the one all of the collectors have been ready for: 5 champions will likely be getting new Cosmic-style skins in August’s final replace.
When will League Patch 13.17 go stay?
The final patch of this month will go stay on Wednesday, Aug. 30. Although not each single one of many predicted 24 modifications is definitely assured to make their means onto stay servers come launch date, the lion’s share most definitely will, in addition to new pores and skin releases, cosmetics, icons, and many extra.
The primary replace in August will begin staging in Australia—the place I’m enjoying from—round 10am AEST earlier than rolling out on main League servers all through the day.
Listed below are all the important thing patching instances:
- 3am PT (NA)
- 5am GMT (EU West)

Anticipate a number of hours of server downtime as soon as the patch begins staging. Matchmaking will likely be disabled throughout all League queues three hours earlier than the replace is formally set stay.
What’s in League Patch 13.17?
‘Killing machines’ lose energy
Riot is pulling Aatrox, Vi, Blitzcrank, Hercarim, and Xin Zhao away from their “pure killing energy builds” this replace and as a substitute attempting to push them nearer to extra durability-focused strengths. Specifically, the devs wish to lower off how nicely they will snowball if the early sport goes nicely for them.
What’s fascinating about that is that none of the five characters (Blitzcrank aside) have overwhelming win rates. Xin Zhao comes closest by successful 49.69 p.c of video games. Vi’s win p.c is lowest at 48.83 this cycle.
High junglers whacked once more, Blitzcrank plan dropped
Within the jungle, the king will get nerfed continually. The League devs are blasting a handful of prime junglers once more after weeks of modifications, and this time round it’s Kayn, Kindred, Kha’Zix, and new champion Naafiri on the block.
“According to our technique from earlier patches, we’re persevering with to nerf among the prime Junglers down, quite than buffing weak junglers up,” Leung-Harrison defined.
Blitzcrank can also be being yoinked out of his jungle pivot after Riot determined they have been merely “including an excessive amount of complexity to an in any other case elegant champion” by attempting to drive him into a unique position. In the interim, the League group will as a substitute deal with bringing him again into the meta as a help choose.
House skins fire up League controversy
Strap these rocket boosters on as a result of League’s subsequent retailer addition is taking gamers again into area—or ought to we are saying, onto a Cosmic journey.
Nautilus, Nunu and Willump, Sion, and reigning Void queen Bel’Veth are the fortunate champions getting new variants this week. Jhin can also be set to be included within the new pores and skin launch run, although his Dark Cosmic Erasure design won’t be available to buy. As an alternative, in a disappointing move for all of us Jhin gamers, Riot has introduced a controversial “gacha” system as the best way to earn the pores and skin.
Listed below are all of the skins coming this patch:
These skins will go stay through the Patch 13.17 cycle.
I’ve put collectively all of the early League patch notes for the August 30 replace under. Bear in mind, till Riot releases the official notes, any of those buffs, nerfs, and modifications are nonetheless very a lot tentative and we may see them pulled at any time.
