In this article, we delve deep into the changes, improvements, and exciting new features that this update brings to the game. As your go-to source for all things League of Legends, we aim to provide you with detailed insights that will help you navigate through the intricacies of this patch.

League of Legends Champion Updates

In update 13.13, Riot Games has focused on enhancing the gameplay experience by introducing significant changes to several champions. Let's take a closer look at some of the notable updates:

1.( Annie)

Dangerous, yet disarmingly precocious, Annie is a child mage with immense pyromantic power. Even in the shadows of the mountains north of Noxus, she is a magical outlier. Her natural affinity for fire manifested early in life through unpredictable, emotional outbursts, though she eventually learned to control these “playful tricks.” Her favorite includes the summoning of her beloved teddy bear, Tibbers, as a fiery protector. Lost in the perpetual innocence of childhood, Annie wanders the dark forests, always looking for someone to play with

2. (Aphelios)

 Aphelios is the #1 bot laner in pro play by a long shot and has been a top performer since March. As such, we want to act in order to create more variety in the bottom lane. We know it sucks for players at home to catch strays like this, but he’s still in a much stronger spot than he was at the start of the year. This time around, we’re targeting some of his biggest ability outliers that provide frustrating levels of power: His turret deals too much DPS for a basic ability, Infernum Q provides him best-in-class sustain by a large margin, and Gravitum’s gank setup is very high for a basic ability. 

3. (Ivern)

Ivern has been taking root across all skill levels after his 13.11 updates which have resulted in one terrifying tree that makes Maokai look like a Meowkai. We feel that his ability to poke down targets at a safe distance and chase down enemies with Daisy are out of line, so we're pulling back on some of Daisy's damage and mobility while also toning down the on-hit damage he gains from Brushmaker. 

League of Legends ARAM Adjustments

Patch 13.13 brings with it a range of itemization adjustments that will shake up the meta and provide fresh strategies for players to explore. Here are some of the key item changes:

For this patch we'll mainly be reducing the buffs or nerfs on champions who no longer need them. Some of the modifier reductions are on champions who are below a 50% win rate, such as Zed or Qiyana, as they are generally harder to play (especially on ARAM) and we want to ensure that their buffs aren't too oppressive in the right hands.

We'd like champion expectation to more closely reflect Summoner's Rift, so we'll be continuing to reduce modifiers on champions when it's reasonable to do so—even if they are sometimes below a 50% win rate because win rate doesn't really tell the full story. 

Buffs

• Aatrox: 100% Damage Dealt ⇒ 105% Damage Dealt
• Caitlyn: 95% Damage Dealt ⇒ 100% Damage Dealt
• Jinx: 90% Damage Dealt ⇒ 95% Damage Dealt
• Karma: 100% Shielding ⇒ 110% Shielding

Nerfs

• Azir: 105% Damage Dealt ⇒ 100% Damage Dealt
• Rumble: 105% Damage Dealt ⇒ 100% Damage Dealt
• Qiyana: 80% Damage Taken ⇒ 90% Damage Taken
• Evelynn: 85% Damage Taken ⇒ 90% Damage Taken
• Zed: 90% Damage Taken ⇒ 95% Damage Taken

Bug Fixes and Quality of Life Changes
