There’s a lot going on in League of Legends patch 13.20. Jax has finally got his much-needed visual upgrade, K’Sante is getting a full kit rework, jungle is getting major changes to monster durability and Smite, and, finally, we’re getting some of the best skins to come to LoL in quite some time – including the highly anticipated Redeemed Star Guardian Xayah and Rakan from Wild Rift.
Where do I begin with League of Legends patch 13.20? This update is certainly one of the biggest we’ve seen in a while, targeting multiple parts of The Rift in an attempt to combat snowballing. While highlights include the Jax VGU and, of course, new skins, I’ll hone in on the jungle changes first, and then give you a rundown of the changes to the MOBA‘s Pride of Nazumah, K’Sante.
The headliner of this patch is the jungle, which lead gameplay designer Matt ‘Phroxzon’ Leung-Harrison describes as “an overpowered role.”
The main changes are to monster durability, which has increased across the board as a result of nerfs to Dragon Slayer and buffs to the Baron’s HP. However, Jungle items are now doing more damage to monsters, while other roles’ damage against them has been nerfed. This is in an attempt to stop other players poaching jungle camps.
Smite is also on the tail end of some changes that focus on taking the pressure off of winning that two HP Baron smite fight over the wall. If your cursor is not hovering over an allowed target, your Smite will now automatically redirect to the closest available target within a limited range, eliminating the need for exact precision and hopefully making things a little easier for newer players.
Top lane is also getting some changes, too, but mainly if you’re a K’Sante main. “K’Sante has been suffering in average play due to needing to balance him around Pro since his launch,” Riot writes. “Once mastered, he leaves little room for reaction and his opponents will often find themselves dead while being stunned the whole time.”
As a result, Riot is slowing down several parts of his kit to ensure you’re not constantly getting stunned up and pummelled. To balance this out, his All Out ultimate and W (Path Maker) are getting some extra damage and improved stuns.
In addition to the changes above, we’re getting Worlds Renekton, some of the new Coven skins, and Redeemed Star Guardian Xayah and Rakan this patch. Note that Coven Syndra has been delayed following some backlash over her in-game model and visual effects.
All of the new League of Legends Coven skins (except Syndra), as well as Worlds Renekton will be available from Wednesday, October 11 at 11am PST / 2pm EST / 7pm BST / 8pm CEST.
But that’s not all: Redeemed Star Guardian Xayah and Rakan are also dropping this patch, but
The group made up of champions Ezreal, Kayn, Aphelios, Yone, K'Sante, and Sett released its first single Paranoia today.
There is one mechanic in that is considered broken, but the truth to the fact is that it may simply be misunderstood. The new open-world RPG by Bethesda is set in space, where players can travel across the galaxy and visit several planets while uncovering the mysteries of the universe. While doing so, players can approach the game in whatever manner they prefer. They can, for instance, train to become ace pilots, while their general survivability skills on land are suboptimal. Alternatively, they can become masters of combat with physical builds in , or perhaps become sweet-tongued diplomats capable of talking their way out of danger.
Gustavo “Baiano” Gomes is determined, as he puts it, to save the Brazilian League of Legends scene.
Immediately after implementing a new tournament structure intended to, among other things, create more cross-regional match-ups, the League of Legends World Championships suffered a legendarily bad draw that turned - at least for one day - what was meant to be an international competition into what fans have taken to calling Worlds: Civil War.
Overwatch 2 is in the midst of its seventh season, with players enjoying the hero shooter’s Rise of Darkness content. From its special Halloween Terror event to its new map, Blizzard has packed its Overwatch sequel full of fresh features for fans to get through. The game’s future also looks quite bright with the developer now revealing an in-game and real-life collaboration event with Le Sserafim, a beloved K-pop girl group.
IGN can exclusively reveal a brand new music video for the upcoming Song of Nunu: A League of Legends story titled "You and Me Makes Us". The original song is written and performed by Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter DEEGAN and co-published by Riot Games Music and The Hit House Global Publishing BMI. The animated music video follows Nunu and his Yeti Willump's friendship while revealing another League of Legends Champion that will appear in Song of Nunu – Volibear. The song is a bit of a bop and feels right at home in the music catalog produced for Riot’s various games.
I’m a Seraphine main in League of Legends. There, I said it. Alongside Senna she’s one of my most-played champions ever, effectively replacing my poor OTP, Sona, upon release. Having played her in a variety of different combinations with my lane partner, she remains one of the more powerful enchanter supports alongside mainstays like Soraka or Janna. Riot has seen her survive and thrive as a support, and has elected to rework her abilities to align with that role – a decision that has proven controversial.
League of Legends is host to many alternate dimensions, including one where its champions are incredibly successful and popular musicians. The experiment started with Pentakill, who have put out some respectable metal albums, and continued through to bands like the hip-hop group True Damage and the K-Pop sensations K/DA. There’s a new kid on the block, and it’s Heartsteel, a boy band made up of a collaboration between League of Legends champions and real world musicians.
When I was a young League of Legends player, I used to be so excited by Blue Essence, clutching at my mouse every time I levelled up, hoping I’d have enough BE to pick up Janna, who had been on free rotation the previous week. Now, however, Blue Essence just sits in my little loot backpack, gathering dust, waiting for the next Blue Essence Emporium to come around. Not anymore, though, Riot is looking to make even more changes to the BE system.
Five years after turning four of its characters into a pretend K-Pop group, League of Legends has a boy band now. The six-man group is called Heartsteel, and it features «re-imagined» versions of the LoL characters Ezreal, Kayn, Aphelios, Yone, K'Sante, and Sett.
League of Legends Heartsteel is the name of the now very real boy band consisting of six champions and a handful of real-world artists representing them, as Riot Games shows off the first artwork of the characters. The group’s first single is also on the way later this month.
League of Legends continues to be one of the most popular gaming IPs, and the recently released Arcane series has expanded the boundaries of the game to a new medium. Previously, it was known that League of Legends and Arcane took place in different universes but now Riot has announced some major changes.
