LoL Patch 13.23 Patch Notes: All Buffs, Nerfs & Upcoming Skins

A new League of Legends patch is here and in this patch, we're going to be getting some brand-new skins, as well as multiple balance changes to some champions that are in dire need of them.

We've gone through multiple jungle changes, as well as a number of K'Sante adjustments, but it seems that Riot will be focusing on other aspects of the game before revealing the 2024 Preseason on the Public Beta Environment.

  • Magic Damage: W Attacks on the primary target (aka whichever target you clicked on) now trigger on-hit effects at 50% damage value (100% in Arena). This includes on-attack effects such as Rageblade's Phantom Hit, Runaan's Hurricane, and Kraken Slayer.

Champion Buffs

Recently, Riot Phroxzon has spoken up when a Redditor complained about Riven and how she is unplayable. While Phroxzon did admit some of the tech she was shipped with wouldn't be used today, he also doubled down that Riot wouldn't change her 'fast Q' either. So, Riot will be buffing her along with other champions.

System Changes In LoL Patch 13.23

Riot will be making some changes to inner and inhibitor tower gold. Basically, local gold will go and global gold down. Riot is doing this because they feel that snowballing is at its lowest right now and believe that increasing the local gold will make it a bit stronger.

This should also help roles like top lane who are more likely to roam and spend time in the side lanes.

• Inner Turret Gold
  • Mid Lane Local Gold: 300 ⇒ 425
  • Side Lane Local Gold: 550 ⇒ 675
  • Global Gold: 250 ⇒ 125
  • Total Gold Value: 550/800 (unchanged)

• Inhibitor Turrets
  • Local Gold: 50 ⇒ 375
  • Global Gold: 250 ⇒ 125
  • Total Gold Value: 300 ⇒ 500
• Tooltip Change
  • Gold reward tooltips updated to show both local and global turret gold.
  • Updated formatting of other turret item tooltips.

New Bee Skins Released In Patch 13.23

There will be new Bee skins in this League of Legends patch. Only three champions will get skins, but they're bee skins, so can we even be mad about these skins? Never.

• Bee'Koz
• Beezcrank
• King Beegar

These are all legendary skins that will be released with LoL Patch 13.23. But if you're unsure, you can always also just wait for the Winterblessed skins which have been revealed to come in the next patch as well. But make sure to stock up on some RP before , because all these skins are going to be bangers.

LoL Patch 13.23 Release Date

This League of Legends patch is going to come a day early, probably because of all the changes that will be added to the PBE for the 2024 Preseason. Therefore, LoL Patch 13.23 is going to be released on Tuesday, November 21, 2023, according to the official patch schedule.
