The latest Patch Preview for Riot's MOBA, League of Legends, hit social media today via Mark Yetter on Twitter. The mobility aspect of the game acts as one of the biggest mechanics, and Patch 11.13 includes several changes that will reduce the amount of boosts players receive.

Perhaps one of the biggest anticipations, the Tahm Kench rework will land in League of Legends with the next patch. In addition to item changes and champion balances, Riot will incorporate 2 brand new items in the in-game shop.

This patch covers almost every corner of League of Legends' mobility system, ultimately reducing the pace of the game on small levels to impact in-and-out comps.
