Khazix and Naafiri nerfed, Blitzcrank changed, more

admin0

Another League of Legends patch update has arrived — providing gameplay updates attempting to stabilize and balance the current meta. Included in these League of Legends patch notes are champion updates, Aram changes, and even minor item balancing as well.

[Related: League of Legends Briar skins]

And though the new champion, Briar, has been marketed by Riot to release in the future, she is not arriving in the newest patch. In other words, she releases at another date and time outside of the League of Legends patch 13.17 cycle.

What’s changing in League of Legends patch notes 13.17?

Lux mid buffed

Riot is attempting to bring Mid Lux back into relevancy, while remaining cautious of the implications updating the champion has on the support role. They’re increasing her overall AP damage scaling, while decreasing her mana regeneration, which is a key attribute for support.

Naafiri nerfed

The doggo assassin champion took a well deserved hit to her base stats, decreasing her survivability. This thereby increases her weakness of being squishy. She also received overall damage nerfs to many of her significant abilities.

CATCHUP EXPERIENCE

Riot’s words: “Catchup experience in the jungle has mostly been working as intended but there have been a few unusual cases that have cropped up where it doesn’t feel like the enemy is truly behind enough to be getting catchup experience. This is usually due to the way the average level calculation was rounding, so in some cases a player was just barely over two levels down from the average which ended up rounding to three levels below and thus triggering catchup experience. We’re shifting the way it rounds to not always round up and thus resolve a lot of these rare cases so it doesn’t feel like the enemy jungler is unfairly clawing their way back into the game.”
