LoL Patch Notes 13.17 – All buffs, nerfs and item changes at a glance

Patch 13.17 in League of Legends is live and brings us again many buffs, nerfs and item adjustments.

The League of Legends patch 13.17 holds a variety of buffs, nerfs, champion and item changes.

In total, 21 League of Legends champions will be adjusted. In addition, eight items are on the list as well as a rune that will receive some fine-tuning from Riot.

Focus on Champions

Riot puts the focus on champions that have strong kill potential in this patch. The head of the LoL balance team thus wants to give these champions more stamina and soften their damage a bit

We’re moving some champions off pure killing power builds and onto more durable [Aatrox, Hec, Vi, Xin]. We’re also doing targeted adjustments to some champs who lost durability (eg. from Shieldbow moving from 1st to 3rd). pic.twitter.com/9iRCfBlTym

Champions like Aatrox, Xin Zhao, Vi, and Hecarim are at the top of the list here. In addition, champions who have struggled a bit in the meta due to Immortal Shieldbow changes in previous patches, will receive a buff.

Riot had originally planned to buff weaker junglers, but now plans have changed according to Leung-Harrison and many top tier junglers are being generated. This should bring many champions back into the meta.
