Let's go over the patch and how Riot is breaking it up due to the recent issues

LoL Patch 13.2 probably won't be happening. Due to the unforseen actions of a hacker, much of the content from this patch will have gone live in a hotfix patch 13.1b, while other content has been pushed back to LoL Patch 13.3 which is still scheduled for February 8, 2023.

With all these changes let's go over everything we know about the patch changes and what has been pushed to which patch, since it's gotten pretty hard to keep a decent overview of what is releasing when.

LoL 13.1b Patch Notes: Riot Releases Hotfix Patch Instead of Normal Patch

LoL Patch 13.2 Content Pushed to Patch 13.3

Annie Buffs Releasing in Later Patch Due to Hacker

Annie has been struggling. Even against champions she is supposed to have the upper hand against she hasn't been the insane fire-magic-wieldling little eight-year-old. Instead, she has been a mere shadow of her former self. Well, Riot is looking to make some adjustments to her kit and improve her gameplay.

Adjustments to Annie's Kit

This is what Riot is planning for Annie in an upcoming League of Legends patch.

Abilities	Changes
Passive - Pyromania	Stun is now primed on game start and respawn
W - Incinerate	Mana Cost: 90-110 >>> 70-110
E - Molten Shield	Shield Potency Buff (numbers not determined yet) Now can only reflect damage once per target, per shield Note: Tibbers duplicated shield counts as a new shield Damage Reflect: 20-60 (+20%AP) >>> 30-90 (+40%AP) Damage is reflected from all damage, not just auto attacks
R - Summon Tibbers!	Tibbers HP: 1300-3100 (+0%AP) >>> 1300-3100 (+75%AP) Tibbers Resists: 30-90 (+0%AP) >>> 30-90 (+5%AP) Tibbers Movement Speed: 370 >>> 350/375/400 (with rank)

Unfortunately, these changes have been pushed back and cannot be hotfixed into LoL Patch 13.1b, which means Annie mains, the few of you out there, will have to be a bit more patient until she is a strong and confident mid laner once more.

LoL: Ahri ASU Expected To Release Soon

Ahri ASU Pushed Back to LoL Patch 13.3

Of course, we also have to talk about the Ahri ASU which will not be released in LoL Patch 13.2 or Patch 13.1b. Instead, it's been stated that she will be released in Patch 13.3 since Riot is confident that they'll be able to fix the PBE build until then.

Riot has explained that things like art updates cannot be hotfixed into a patch, hence why players will have to be patient once more and wait two more weeks until Ahri's Art and Sustainability Update hits live servers. Whether this will also affect the Aurelion Sol CGU has yet to be seen though.

Riot Seeks to Change Early Surrender

Riot is looking to make some big adjustments to the early surrender vote. This was supposed to happen in LoL Patch 13.2, but we do think these changes will be shifted to the next patch instead.

Until now the vote to surrender between 15 and 20 minutes had to be unanimous, Riot is looking to adjust this and have the early surrender vote be 4/5 instead.

This will be monitored, to make sure champion win and play rates do not go down and that this is something that could work in ranked games as well. So for now these changes will only be implemented in normal games.

Champion Nerfs in LoL Patch 13.1b

Most of the champion nerfs have also managed to ship with the LoL Patch 13.1b. Yuumi is not a champion anymore, hell even a canon minion probably has more impact than she does after the nerfs Riot has implemented on her kit, but are we even mad?

ADC System Updates in LoL Patch 13.1b

It isn't just fighter items and Grievous Wounds getting an update this patch, but Riot is also going to be looking to update a few items and systems for the bot lane as well, since ADC satisfaction has been at an ultimate low ever since the 2023 preseason.

This whole hacking mess has messed up the current League of Legends schedule, but it seems we're just going to be skipping LoL Patch 13.2 completely and moving onto Patch 13.3 instead with the hotfix being the main patch this time around.
