Now that Patch 13.14 is live, let’s see what Riot has planned for the upcoming LoL Patch 13.15, which is going to be released on August 2, according to the official patch schedule.
LoL Patch 13.15 Notes Overview
Patch 13.14 marked the start of the second ranked split of the season. Players will have a second chance to grind to their desired Elo, and alongside the ranks reset, Riot decided to bring major tweaks to quite a few champions, including Zyra, Xerath, and Lissandra.
While these are all welcome changes, the general impression is that the game has entered once again a stale state and fundamental changes might be needed to shake things up again. For now, however, we have little information on what might be coming in the next patch.
Two patches ago, Riot had intentions to shake up the top lane meta, buffing some of the least popular picks. Most of those changes didn’t end up making it through, so this might be the right moment to implement them.
With the start of the Summer event, on the other hand, a lot of players will focus on the new game mode, LoL Arena. The 2v2v2v2 has been well received by the community and it will be the highlight of the next month. For now, we’re going to have to wait and see how Riot plans to adjust going forward.

How will the upcoming patch impact the meta?
With no confirmed changes or numbers, it’s still too early to say how the meta will shake up. It might not be a big patch, though, and it will likely focus on nerfing some of the strongest outliers while giving some love to some of the weaker champions.
