Riot Games is preparing to help several “languishing” League of Legends<\/em> champion with a pile of buffs in League <\/em>Patch 13.12, with the eight lucky champions in line for the Season 13 boosts unveiled today.<\/p>
Phlox, one of the key League developers, shared the pre-patch notes on Twitter<\/a> on June 5, naming champions from Ashe and Gangplank to Kai’Sa, Ryze, and Orianna.<\/p>
While most of the changes are mid and bot lane-focused, Gangplank and Nasus have snuck into the winners’ circle\u2014they both are in sore need of help, especially Gangplank, who has a 48.03 percent<\/a> win rate.<\/p>
The exact buffs these eight champions will receive have yet to be revealed, but top League <\/em>dev boss Matt “Phroxzon Leung-Harrison said the impending buffs should go a long way to helping each of the characters<\/a>, especially Kai’Sa, who are experiencing itemization issues, as well as those who have been suffering for a while.<\/p>

This isn’t totally surprising, as Riot has continued to play around with the season 13 meta quite heavily, including with big jungle and bot lane changes. A number of key items were also tweaked in Patch 13.10<\/a>. When these meta-shifting changes hit the Rift, their effects can take time to show and we rarely know how they’ll change a champion’s win, loss, ban, or pick rates.<\/p>
