LoL Patch 13.6: All Champion Balance Changes
[Update: March 23, 2023]
Even though Riot Games already released the patch notes earlier this week, there are some noticeable changes already. Riot Games came out today declaring that some of the notes in the initial 13.6 patch notes were incorrect and have now been changed. The changes affected Aurelion Sol, Yuumi, and the Ocean Drake and are now updated in this current article.
Champion Buffs in Patch 13.6
Four champions are going to be buffed this patch. Seems like a small number, right? Well, in the previous patches Riot has done a lot of work and now the balance team is working on making adjustments so champions feel well-balanced.
