League of Legends Patch 13.12 Full Patch Notes Are Here!

League of Legends Patch 13.12 will release next Wednesday, and after the tease, we finally have some numbers regarding the changes.

Two days ago we took our first look at the changes coming in the 13.12 League of Legends Patch notes by courtesy to Riot Phroxzon and Riot Phlox: they teased buffs to Champions like Ashe and Kai’sa, nerfs for Gragas, Kha’Zix and K’Sante, and midscope-like updates for Rumble and Lucian, while also planning to change a plethora of items. While there’s still a week left until the patch, Phroxzon posted the changes with numbers, and while those are always subject to change, they give us a good idea about the changes – so let’s dive right in!

Champion Changes of the upcoming 13.12 League of Legends Patch

Champion Buffs

Ashe
- Passive – Frost Shot’s bonus damage will be increased from 115% to 120%
- W – Volley’s base damage will be increased from 10-70 to 20-80
- R – Enchanted Crystal Arrow’s AP ratio will be increased from 100% to 120%
Gangplank
- E – Powder Keg’s recharge timer will scale with level, from 18 seconds to 14 seconds
Kai’sa
- AD per level increased from 2 to 2.6 in order to help Kai’sa get to her ability evolutions a bit faster and easier
Nasus
- Passive – Soul Eater’s Life Steal will be increased from 9-19% to 11-21%
- R – Fury of the Sand’s cooldown will decrease with the ability’s level from 120 to 80
Orianna
- R – Command: Shockwave AP ratio will be increased from 90% to 95% and Base Damage will be increased from 250-450 to 250-550
Ryze
- Passive – Arcane Mastery AP ratio will be increased from 6% to 10%

Sivir
- AD per level decreased from 2.8 to 2.5
- W – Ricochet AD ratio increased from 25-45% to 30-50%

These are all great buffs for Champions that need some love – except for Nasus, who already has some overtuned abilities according to mains of the Curator, and is only weak because of his terrible base stats. If Riot Games ever decides that they should increase the stats of Nasus, we could see a lot more of him on the Rift.

Kaisa AD/lv to hit Q evolve on more first items

Gragas P CD aims to hit some early sustain to broaden even/losing matchups

These changes are meant to make Rumble a tanky toplane bruiser who can keep up with the meta while melting tanks with his Flamespitter, instead of being a burst mage with an incredibly powerful ult who can play against toplaners. They are also trying to separate Lucian and Nami by making Lucian pair up better with tanks – maybe we’ll see the return of the fabled Lucian – Braum botlane?

System Adjustments

Samira and Katarina won’t be invulnerable after getting a kill with their ult for the full duration when building Duskblade of Draktharr

Alongside the Enchanter nerfs, Riot Games are also changing some of their favoured items like Imperial Mandate, but they are also buffing Moonstone in order for it to be competitive with the new support Mythic, Echoes of Helia. The developers also show some love to Crit items as with the rise of Guinsoo’s Rageblade and Trinity Force, Crit has been suboptimal past 13.10. They finally addressed the Katarina/Samira interaction as well, hopefully we won’t have to face anything like that ever again – as it was terrifying to run from an untouchable Beyblade of damage.

The 13.12 League of Legends patch should release on the 14^th of June with all the changes mentioned above. You will also be able to purchase the new Shan Hai Scrolls skins for Lillia, Bard, Tahm Kench and Kog’Maw, alongside the new Mythic skin, Crystalis Motus Leona!
