LoL Patch 13.15: Further Improvements For Arena Mode

We cannot forget about LoL Arena in this League of Legends patch. It's been the highlight of the League of Legends eco system since it's release onto the PBE over a month ago. Though, not all champions felt balanced. 

Due to this, RIot have revealed that they made quite a few balance changes to Arena. Not only champions, but also systems have been adjusted to make Arena as fair and fun as possible. 

• Off-Meta Builds - Rek'Sai is The Highest Winrate Toplaner

LoL Arena Cameo Updates

In this patch we are getting new League of Legends skins, but we're also going to be getting more cameos in the game mode to make it more fun and interesting. Finally we won't end up with those annoying Naafiri hounds in every second match! 

• Evelynn: Grants all players camouflage.
• Gwen: Occasionally protects the lowest health player with her W, Hallowed Mist.
• Jhin: Casts his ultimate, Curtain Call, which will alternate shots between each player.
• Shaco: Continuously places his Jack-in-the-Boxes around the Arena.
• Viego: The first player to die will instead become Viego for a period of time.

LoL Buffs For Hated Solo Queue Champs in Patch 13.15

LoL Patch 13.15 is going to be buffing some pretty hated champions. This is going to be the LEC playoff patch and a step towards the 2023 League of Legends World Championship, so we're wondering where Riot is going to take the meta this year for the big tournament.

LoL Patch 13.15 will still be part of the Soul Fighter event, and of course there are even more great skins set to release. The first wave, including Soul Fighter Samira, has released with the previous patch, but there is still a lot to look out for! Here is a quick overview of what to expect in terms of skins for Patch 13.15:

If you aren't a big fan of the Samira Ultimate Skin, maybe King Viego is for you? It's fair to say he looks absolutely amazing. We're quite impressed by Shaco's Prestige Skin as well. But is it worth grinding 2,000 Tokens? Only if you're a Shaco main, I would say!
