LoL PBE Patch 13.20: Buffs and Nerfs

This is the first post-Worlds patch and intended to bring some systems back in line that have proven to be causing a lot of player frustration. K'Sante is also getting a well deserved overhaul to his functionality.

Champion Nerfs

Quinn has been a little too hard to kill for a marksman. She loses some lane survivability to make it easier to capitalize on her mistakes. For compensation, she receives more AD as the game goes on.

Quinn

  • AD Growth per level: 2.4 >>> 2.7
  • Base Move Speed: 335 >>> 330

LoL PBE Patch 13.20: New Coven Skins

As always, there are several new skins announced for Patch 13.20. This time, Riot brings back one of the most popular skin lines: The Coven skins are back! You won't have to wait much longer for them – the 2023 Coven skins will release shortly after patch day on October 11!

The following skins will be released on Patch 13.20:

• Coven Akali
• Coven Elise
• Coven Nami (Legendary)
• Coven Nilah
• Coven Syndra
• Old God Mordekaiser
• Prestige Coven Akali

All normal Coven skins will have the Epic Tier rank and cost 1350 RP in the shop, while Coven Nami will be Legendary and therefore cost 1820 RP. Prestige Coven Akali will be available for 2000 Event Tokens. Spare some money and be patient, because you clearly don't want to miss out on this dark and distorted, yet incredibly beautiful skin line! 

These are all changes currently being tested on the League of Legends PBE, but there is certainly more to come! Make sure to check back in a few days!
