League of Legends patch 12.13 pre notes: Buffs, nerfs, and system update

League of Legends patch 12.13 will introduce a significant number of balance updates and champion adjustments to the MOBA next week.

The upcoming week will see numerous updates to champions and items. Many champions, including Renekton, Evelynn, and Fiddlesticks, will get some love, but picks like Gwen and Volibear will be significantly toned down.

The buffs Evelynn and Master Yi will get to their auto-attack range, and healing will be some of the patch's main attractions. Changes will be made to every component of Gwen's League of Legends kit, and she will undergo many alterations.

Corki and Volibrear are also set to receive minor nerfs, while Lethality Mythics will receive their long-desired love. After numerous changes to League of Legends patch 12.12, Divine Sunderer will again see a few more adjustments.
