More changes have made their way to the League of Legends PBE patch 13.11 cycle, and players have a lot to look forward to when it comes to some of the balance changes that Riot Games is looking to employ. The update is set to officially go live next week, and the developers have already begun introducing changes to some of the champions and items in the game to balance things ahead of the Summer Split.

While champions like Rell and Kalista have already received changes in the server, a new batch of updates have made their way to Youmuu’s Ghostblade, Duskblade of Draktharr, and Rek’Sai this time around.

Duskblade and Rek’Sai will be receiving a significant number of buffs in the upcoming patch, as Riot will be looking to help the AD assassins a bit in the current meta.

Ghostblade will, however, be receiving a nerf this time around, which is likely being shipped to help compensate for the buffs that Duskblade is receiving.

Below is a list of the recently added League of Legends PBE patch 13.11 changes.
