League of Legends 13.21 patch will mainly target Seraphine, Brand, and Zyra in champion adjustments along with K’Sante receiving major buffs and Nexus Blitz mode making a return.

League of Legends 13.21 patch is a substantial update focused on balance adjustments and improvements as Riot Games prepares for 2024. It includes changes to 18 champions, with nine receiving buffs, six getting nerfs, and three undergoing adjustments. Notably, two prominent runes, First Strike and Phase Rush, along with the item Hullbreaker, will also see revisions. In addition to changes on the Rift, the returning Nexus Blitz limited-time mode will receive smaller tweaks as it settles in.

League of Legends 13.21 Patch Notes

Talking about the League of Legends 13.21 patch, the devs revealed that significant adjustments are planned for various champions and items. Notably, K’Sante will receive buffs after being deemed underpowered in the current top lane meta, following adjustments in 13.20. Conversely, Aurelion Sol, Briar, and Caitlyn’s Lethality build will face nerfs. Caitlyn’s Umbral Glaive and Duskblade build path, considered oppressive in the current meta, will be notably toned down. All these changes in the LoL 13.21 patch aim to bring better balance to the game.

One of the prominent changes involves a push for more ability-powered characters in the jungle champion pool. Brand and Zyra will undergo sweeping changes and buffs to facilitate this transition. Brand will receive damage and attack speed boosts, while Zyra will experience significant enhancements to damage and ability power, particularly in her Q and E plant abilities. Furthermore, Morgana jungle will receive additional buffs.

In terms of cosmetics, the update will introduce new Cafe Cuties skins for champions like Jinx, Lulu, Poppy, and Rumble, along with a Coven skin for Syndra. These skins will be available during the LoL 13.21 patch cycle, each priced at 1,350 RP.
