Riot Games is pushing out more tentative changes to shift the League meta, with major changes to junglers and supports in Patch 13.3.
League Patch 13.3 will focus on jungle and support changes
Riot announced some adjustments and buffs to engager supports, which have slowly faded away from the meta. With the hope of bringing them back, the balance team is giving better stats, scaling, and lower mana costs across various champions. Not only that but there will be a big tweak to Radiant Virtue to nerf its presence across all roles. Riot’s goal is to make ganking increase the trade off between ganks and farm as ganking junglers are having too much impact currently.
Aside from these changes, Riot will finally release the Ahri ASU and Annie buffs that were promised in the previous patch. Given the most recent social engineering attack done to Riot, the updates were pushed back in the schedule.
Regarding the skins, we should be getting the ones to celebrate Valentine’s Day: Heartache and Heartthrob lineups. While the numbers aren’t currently out yet, here is a list of all champions and items that should receive some tweaks in League Patch 13.3, which should hit live servers on Feb. 8.
