LoL Patch 13.14 is the biggest League of Legends patch in quite a while! In it, we're getting a new League of Legends champion, a new game mode and the big summer event of 2023. Oh, and some balance changes that have been way overdue, like the Zyra QoL changes. 

Now, with so much happening in a single patch, it's time to go over everything we know about LoL Patch 13.14. Let's jump right into the action with the new game mode!

LoL Patch 13.14: New Arena Game Mode

A brand-new game mode is making its way to League of Legends. With these changes we're going to be getting a new experience for any League of Legends player. The game mode will feature multiple arenas in which players will face off against others in 2v2 battles. 

• Pick up the right gear to play the new game mode "Arena". Might we suggest the K/DA Logitech gaming mouse?

Items and augments will also be picked up throughout an entire match, similar to Teamfight Tactics, which inspired this game mode. If you're curious about Arena, then make sure to check out some of our articles!

LoL Patch 13.14: General Changes

Riot has made some big changes in the current patch. LoL Patch 13.14 features a multitude of top lane champions, as well as bot laners, along with QoL changes to Zyra and Xerath. Oh, and Trinity Force has received some nerfs as well!

Riot have revealed beforehand, that they will look at ADC and their power spikes, since they seem to be too strong with only one item. We shouldn't forget about Lissandra either, since she has received quite a few buffs and QoL updates that could propel her up the rankings.

Champion Buffs In LoL Patch 13.14

Zyra is finally got her long-awaited updates this patch. The few Zyra mains out there are probably crying in happiness right now, with the champion being in a rather useless state in the current meta.

Play Zyra better than anyone else with this must-have gaming mouse: The Logitech G PRO League of Legends edition. 

Along with Zyra, Xerath is also on the receiving end of some updates this patch which could be pretty exciting for any mid lane and support players.

Naafiri is the newest League of Legends champion that was added to the game. She is an easy to play assassin, who will make the players focus on their positioning, rather than pulling off high-skilled combos.

LoL Patch 13.14 Hotfix: Naafiri Adjustments

Naafiri has received some adjustments to tone her down. She had pretty high win rates, especially in low and mid range elos, so Riot is nerfing her slightly, so she doesn't become too OP.
