League of Legends 14.13 Patch Notes Breakdown

Welcome to our patch notes breakdown for League of Legends Season 14!

Let’s break down all the new changes in LoL coming this week.

We recommend following along with the official 14.13 patch notes since we won’t be listing all the specific stat changes, but rather, focusing on the impact of the changes and the champions updated place in the current meta.

If you’re wondering how these changes will affect the meta, check out our LoL champion tier list!

Buffs, Nerfs, and Changes

Brand (nerf)

• Passive Mana on Kill is reduced.
• E damage reduced as well. These changes are not going to help him in the Jungle, Mid or Support roles.

Gangplank (buff)

• Powder Keg (E) slow is increased; Crit scaling removed.

Gragas (nerf)

• Passive heal is reduced.

Graves (buff)

• E Armor per stack increased.

Kalista (nerf)

• Her base AD reduced, Ultimate cooldown increased.
• W damage is changed.

Karthus (nerf)

• Q damage is reduced. So this will make him weaker in all roles.

Kennen (nerf)

• Base Health reduced.

Lee Sin (buff)

• Base states improved.
• W shield is increased.

Lissandra (buff)

• Q AP Ratio increased.
• W cooldown reduced.
• These buffs will help her in all roles she is played in.

Miss Fortune (buff)

• Base AD increased.

Pantheon (buff)

• His W minimum damage is increased.

Skarner (nerf)

• Q mana cost is increased, and max health damage is reduced. He will be weaker in the Top and Jungle roles.

Varus (changed)

• Varus’ base stats have changed.
