received a mix of changes. no longer hits enemies directly on top of Blitz, making it less likely to hit a minion accidentally, but also less reliable as a CC in melee range. 's duration was cut to 5 seconds from 10, but the attack can no longer be canceled. Finally, 's cooldown was changed from 30 seconds to 60/40/20 and the passive no longer hits monsters while out of combat.

received some buffs to her base mana and movement speed, but damage falls off to 70% after the first target hit, making it more difficult to waveclear and harass through minion waves. The slow duration is also increased to the full 2 seconds at all ranks. now also grants 15/20/25/30/35% attack speed for the duration. These changes are meant to buff support Lulu without strengthening her solo lane even more, but we'll see if that's the effect.

was changed a lot, the most notable change being gaining the passive on-hit damage that used to be on his ultimate (though it's lower and stacks up to three times). was nerfed early on, but scales back up to be effective with ability ranks. received some usability buffs that should make the ability less clunky and predictable.

's ability to spawn tons of seeds through her passive and W was lowered. She also had a bug where thornspitters automatically prioritized champions without her damaging them first, which was fixed.

Moving outside of the support role, and both received some small buffs to their basic abilities. Mini Gnar gains a little more range with level and the return distance on is 500 units longer. 's damage was also increased by 5. 's was buffed to shield him a lot more in team fights when near multiple enemies, especially when the ability is maxed.

, , and all received some nerfs. Kindred's were targeted at their health sustain, losing the healing effect on but receiving a compensatory effect that slows the movement and attack speed of whichever monster Wolf is targeting. Swain's has a much longer cooldown and lockout on deactivating. Vlad's base damage on was nerfed and his was shifted towards rewarding AP over health -- nerfs that were directed at full-tank Vladimir builds. Finally, Volibear received some nerfs to his early game damage and attack speed from , slowing down his jungle clear.

Item and Summoner Spell Changes

Talisman of Ascension had a recipe change with being swapped out for . This means that the line holds some defensive stats rather than pure utility. and also received some small buffs, with coin giving 5% CDR right off the bat.

The line received some improvements to the execute damage, making it easier to last-hit minions as you level up. and its upgrades no longer deactivate their gold generation effects after last-hitting pets like Tibbers and plants.

received a new passive that increases the effectiveness of your heals and shields. This new passive is also added to and .

is 200g cheaper and reduces the cooldowns of your item actives by 20% instead of 10%, making it a more competitive choice when compared to "Eye-stone" items.

Finally, had a nasty bug where your ability cooldowns could be spent, but not actually cast if you cast several abilities during the Protobelt active effect. Now, you can no longer cast spells during the effect.

received some small nerfs making it easier for enemy teams to spot an incoming flank. The channel time was increased to 4.5 seconds and the teleport particle will be visible to the enemy team in fog of war if they have vision within 500 units of the target point. The landing position for teleport will also now be consistently on the side closest to the user's nexus, making it easier to line up skillshots on an enemy champion who is teleporting in (especially to their tower).

Experience & Ward Changes

Killing enemy wards now grants 30 experience (15 for Farsight Alteration wards).
Attacking wards no longer counts your champion as in-combat for the purposes of out-of-combat effects like Mobility Boots.
For every 150 seconds that a ward is alive, it becomes visually swaggier for the team that placed it.
Catch-up experience now scales more linearly and kicks in earlier, making bonus experience more consistent when underleveled.
Dead champions will now gain experience from nearby champion kills for ~10 seconds after death even if they didn't participate.
Champion kills reward less experience at early levels, returning to pre-6.13 values around level 9.

Ranked Changes

Diamond players can now queue with others within 2 3 divisions of their current rank.
Playing primarily as a solo player, dynamic group player or full team player will award you an emblem, based on your most recent 25 wins.
The ranked 5s queue is returning during scheduled hours of the day (ranked 3s will also be available during these hours).

Upcoming Skins

will be released during patch 6.13! In addition, will be added as a Hextech Crafting exclusive during this patch!


Deep Sea Nami (1350 RP)	Soulstealer Vayne (Crafting Exclusive)
