Patch 13.24 notes

‘Tis the season for Patch 13.24!
Game Updates
Riot Riru

‘Tis (the end) of the season so we're here to wrap things up with 13.24!

It's the last patch of the year and the next time you'll hear from us will be in patch 14.1 alongside all of the exciting gameplay changes. But that doesn't mean we don't have any presents for you this patch…

Our first gift is the newest addition to our roster—Hwei, the Visionary. With a whole palette of abilities at his disposal, Hwei provides players the opportunity to flex their big brains by choosing the perfect ability for each situation. So if you're interested in complex champions then this one's for you!

We also have the widely-requested return of Arena this patch! With over 180 balance adjustments, Arena is coming back better than ever. We're also adding in the ability to queue with up to 4 players or queue with a full party of 8 so you and your friends can really find out who the best gladiator is. With new mechanics, Augments, and cameos, there's plenty to learn and experiment with. So be sure to check it out.

In other news, we also have the last Clash of the year coming for ARAM, a delightful batch of new Winterblessed skins, a new Mythic Shop rotation, and more. So check out the full patch notes below and see you in 2024!

Azir

W damage increased.

We're happy that Azir has a new suite of items to consider and that Nashor's Tooth finally functions as many players expect it should. Looking into his builds, Liandry's-Nashor's, Luden's-Nashor's, and Crown-Nashor's are all performing a little bit worse than they were in the last patch so we'll be walking back one of the smaller nerfs he received in 13.23.

W - Arise!

  • Damage: 2-77 (levels 10-18) (+50/65/80/95/110) (+55% AP) ⇒ 2-77 (levels 10-18) (+50/67/84/101/118) (+55% AP)

Braum

Base mana regeneration increased. R knock up duration increased.

Braum has some very sharp matchups in his current state. He's extremely strong as counter-engage into vanguards and is very weak in most ranged matchups where he doesn't really get to do anything. While he should be best served as a true defensive warden, we'd like to give him more agency in those weaker matchups. Mana regen should allow him more freedom to use abilities while a better Glacial Fissure will let him accomplish more outside of lane, while still being suboptimal for pure engage.

Base Stats

  • Base Mana Regeneration: 6 ⇒ 7

R - Glacial Fissure

  • Minimum Knock Up Duration: 0.3 seconds ⇒ 0.6 seconds
  • Secondary Target Knock Up Duration: 0.3 seconds ⇒ 0.6 seconds

Briar

Base armor decreased, attack speed ratio increased. Q damage increased. W bonus attack speed decreased. E damage resistance decreased, healing decreased. R damage decreased, damage type changed to magic.

Briar continues to devour her opposition in the jungle as players continue to get better at her, so we need to pull her power back a bit more. While we're nerfing all her builds with these changes, we're targeting lethality builds more. To that end, we're shifting R to magic damage and throwing in a buff to her attack speed ratio. With the attack speed ratio change, Briar's overall attack speed will be higher when building Stridebreaker, while staying close to the same on builds that don't purchase any attack speed. This should help make up for the nerf to W.

Base Stats

  • Base Armor: 32 ⇒ 30
  • Attack Speed Ratio: 0.644 ⇒ 0.669 (Note: Attack speed at level 1 is unchanged.)

Q - Head Rush

  • Damage: 60/95/130/165/200 (+80% bonus AD) ⇒ 60/90/120/150/180 (+80% bonus AD)

W - Blood Frenzy

  • Bonus Attack Speed: 60/75/90/105/120% ⇒ 55/70/85/100/115%

E - Chilling Scream

  • Damage Reduction: 40% ⇒ 35%
  • Healing: 10/11.5/13/14.5/16% of Maximum Health ⇒ 9/10/11/12/13% of Maximum Health

R - Certain Death

  • Damage: 150/300/450 (+75% bonus AD) (+110% AP) Physical Damage ⇒ 150/300/450 (+50% bonus AD) (+120% AP) Magic Damage

Galio

Q cooldown decreased.

We're back again to follow up on our Galio changes as he's still not performing as well as we'd like him to. Our last two adjustments were intended to buff Galio's unique strengths such as his semi-global ultimate and anti-mage durability. This round, we're giving Galio players more individual power in the form of lowering his Q cooldown so he can better duel with his opponents because it's currently quite high despite being his primary poke/clear ability.

Q - Winds of War

  • Cooldown: 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds ⇒ 12/11/10/9/8 seconds

Gragas

Passive cooldown now decreases with level.

Back in patch 13.12 we released a Gragas nerf that increased his passive cooldown from 8 to 12 seconds. We've updated this to have his passive scale down as the game goes on. This is intended to give Gragas players more frequent access to his passive at later points in the game so he can sustain better during teamfights and while side-laning, but without reintroducing the oppressive sustain he had earlier this year.

Passive - Happy Hour

  • Cooldown: 12 seconds ⇒ 12/10/8/6 seconds (levels 1/6/11/16)

Ivern

Base health decreased. E slow decreased.

Ivern remained unaffected when other junglers' clears were made slightly slower in patch 13.20. As a result, he's become one of the best junglers in the current game. We'd just like to take a small swing at his high base health in hopes of balancing him against other junglers and making him a bit more vulnerable to invades. Because Friend of the Forest's health cost is based on Ivern's base health, this change will have no impact on his ability to clear camps unless he gets directly damaged by his enemies. Beyond that, we're taking a small bite out of Triggerseed's slow as it locks down opponents a bit harder than we'd like, considering he has other harder-to-land crowd control abilities.

Base Stats

  • Base Health: 655 ⇒ 630

E - Triggerseed

  • Slow: 50/55/60/65/70% ⇒ 45/50/55/60/65%

K'Sante

W mana cost decreased, damage increased.

We overshot our nerf on K'Sante last patch but we're happy with the parts of his kit that we addressed. Now that we've nerfed the lane safety provided by his Q, we're aiming to buff him by making Path Maker a more active part of his laning phase through softening its mana cost and then increasing his reliance on gold income via these ratio buffs.

W - Path Maker

  • Mana Cost: 60/65/70/75/80 ⇒ 40/45/50/55/60
  • Damage: 20/40/60/80/100 (+50% AD) (+30% bonus armor) (+30% bonus magic resistance) (+6/7/8/9/10% target's maximum health) ⇒ 20/40/60/80/100 (+50% AD) (+50% bonus armor) (+50% bonus magic resistance) (+6/7/8/9/10% target's maximum health)

Leona

W bonus armor and MR increased. R damage increased.

Leona isn't the shining beam of light she once was and could use a bit more power. In order to get her glimmering again we're aiming to enhance her ability to all-in, as she has to commit harder to her engages than other similar supports and her engage capability is a primary reason for picking her. We're targeting her R damage and late-game W resistances specifically to give her more power in a way that doesn't affect her first few levels.

W - Eclipse

  • Bonus Armor: 20/25/30/35/40 (+20% bonus armor) ⇒ 20/27.5/35/42.5/50 (+20% bonus armor)
  • Bonus Magic Resistance: 20/25/30/35/40 (+20% bonus magic resistance) ⇒ 20/27.5/35/42.5/50 (+20% bonus magic resistance)

R - Solar Flare

  • Damage: 100/175/250 (+80% AP) ⇒ 150/225/300 (+80% AP)

Lucian

E cooldown decreased.

Lucian is currently struggling in solo queue and could use a helping hand. Since our last two adjustments were to his Vigilance passive (which he's reliant on his team for) we're now choosing a buff that will give Lucian players themselves more power. We've decided to reduce his E cooldown, as Lucian is supposed to be powerful early, and this cooldown has some room to go down and still scale to the same level by mid game.

E - Relentless Pursuit

  • Cooldown: 22/20/18/16/14 seconds ⇒ 19/17.75/16.5/15.25/14 seconds

Mordekaiser

Q damage increased. R now reveals the target upon initial cast.

Mordekaiser isn't performing particularly well at the moment, so we're taking a look under his rusty metal hood. First, a quality of life change to prevent the fog of war from canceling his ultimate. Second, he's gettingan AP ratio buff to his Q with the goal of letting him build ability power in more of his games, instead of transitioning into tank items quite so quickly.

Q - Obliterate

  • Damage: 75/95/115/135/155 (+5-139 (based on level)) (+60% AP) ⇒ 75/95/115/135/155 (+5-139 (based on level)) (+70% AP)

R - Realm of Death

  • You Can Run…: Casting Realm of Death will now reveal the target upon starting the cast. This means that walking into a brush while Mordekaiser is casting his R will no longer cancel the spell. Note: The target will not be revealed for the entire duration of the spell, so you can still hide on bush if one comes with you to the Realm.

Qiyana

Base mana and mana growth increased.

Qiyana is a very high-skill-cap champion who only performs above average in very high-skill brackets. We don't expect to truly change that fact, but we'd still like to make her a little more forgiving to play. We noticed that she's a pretty frequent Manamune purchaser, so with these changes we'd like for you to have your cake and eat it too. If you don't buy Manamune, you have more mana to play with, and thus, don't need Tear as badly. However, if you do buy Manamune, having more total mana means more bonus AD and ability damage. So everyone wins! Except maybe her opponents. They might lose.

Base Stats

  • Base Mana: 325 ⇒ 375
  • Mana Growth: 50 ⇒ 60

Talon

Ranged Q now also resets Talon's attack timer.

Consistency is key.

Q - Noxian Diplomacy

  • Quality of Life Change: When cast at range, Q will now reset Talon's attack timer. (Note: this has been updated to match the functionality of his Q when cast at melee range.)

Vel'Koz

W and E Bugfixes

As part of this patch we had planned to do some follow up work to Vel'Koz but the changes weren't quite ready to ship. Part of those changes were bug fixes which were ready, so instead of waiting to patch in both at the same time we'll be patching the bug fixes a bit earlier.

W - Void Rift

  • Fixed a bug where the first half of the rift would fizzle if Vel'Koz died directly after casting.

E - Tectonic Disruption

  • Fixed a bug where the spell would fizzle out when V'K flashes or is knocked back at max range.
  • Tectonic Disruption's missile will now spawn at Vel'koz's original location if he flashes or is knocked back during the cast.

Zeri

AD growth increased. W damage increased.

Zeri hasn't been zipping and zapping around like she used to and her battery power level is low, so we're giving her a small damage buff with the goal to amp her up ever so slightly.

Base Stats

  • AD Growth: 1.3 ⇒ 2

W - Ultrashock Laser

  • Damage: 20/60/100/140/180 (+130% AD) (+25% AP) ⇒ 30/70/110/150/190 (+130% AD) (+25% AP)

Arena Returns

Hey Gladiators! We're incredibly excited for you to see all the new items, augments, and balance updates we've been working on. There are a lot of changes to cover! You can find the nitty gritty details below, but if you want to get straight to the action, here is a quick summary of all the biggest things to look out for in the Rings of Wrath!
  • A huge amount of class and individual champion balance changes.
  • Hexgates have been added to all four Arenas!
  • Death is not the end! After a delay, you can revive your dead teammate by standing on their body!
  • We've removed the Naafiri, Samira, Shaco, Viego, Lux, Evelynn, and Jhin cameos, and we've added Sylas and Thresh cameos!
  • 4 new items!
  • 60 new Augments!

Due to the large amount of balance adjustments being made this patch change lists will only contain the numbers being changed and not the entire equation as per usual.

Gameplay Updates


Hexgates
  • Hexgates have been added to each of the 4 Rings of Wrath. They work just like they do on Hextech Rift and Howling Abyss and have a 7 second cooldown.

Downed State/Reviving
  • When a champion dies for the first time each round, they become downed for 11-8 seconds (based on round number), after which they become revivable. If an ally stands near a revivable ally for 3 seconds, they are resurrected and healed by their ally for 150+75 per level.
  • Revive duration is cumulative. If you spend 1 second near your Downed ally, then leave and come back, they will only take 2 seconds to Revive.
  • Revive duration is decreased based on the reviver’s Heal/Shield Power, and also decreased based on how much less team health the reviver has than the enemy team.
  • When you are revived, you become Invulnerable, Untargetable, and unable to attack/cast for 0.75 seconds. You will also gain 30% damage reduction, 75% Move Speed, and 50% Tenacity decaying over 3 seconds (or 2.25 seconds after the invulnerability ends).
  • In order to revive an ally, the ally must not be reviving with another effect or ability such as Zilean’s R, Zac’s Passive, or Guardian Angel.

Cameos
  • The following Cameos have been removed: Naafiri. Samira, Shaco, Viego, Lux, Evelynn, and Jhin
  • The following Cameos have been added: Sylas (At the start of the round, Sylas replaces Summoner Flee with a one-use random Ultimate) and Thresh (Thresh will occasionally throw out a Lantern. The Lantern continuously Shields and can be selected to be pulled to Thresh).

New Items
  • Sword of the Blossoming Dawn: 40 Ability Power, 200 Health, 15% Heal and Shield Power, 15 Ability Haste. Passive Effervescence: Gain 1.2% Attack Speed for every 1% Heal and Shield Power you have. Passive Peppermint: On-Hit, heal the lowest health ally champion near you for 15-45 (+10% bonus AD) (+7% AP)
  • Perplexity: 70 Ability Power, 8% Move Speed, 22% Armor Penetration, 30% Magic Penetration. Passive Giant Slayer: Deal up to 22% bonus damage against champions with greater maximum Health than you.
  • Hellfire Hatchet: 40 Attack Damage, 12 Lethality, 15% Omnivamp. Passive Char: On-Hit or damaging an enemy with an active ability, heal for 2% of the Target's Current Health and apply 1 stack of Burn that deals 12% bonus AD (+10% AP) (+2% Missing Health) physical damage per second for 4 seconds.
  • Wordless Promise: 60 Ability Power, 15% Heal and Shield Power, 25 Ability Haste. Active - Promise: Make a Promise to an ally (90 second Cooldown). Passive Promise: Gain 20% of your Promised ally's Ability Power, and grant your Promised ally 20% of your Ability Haste.

Augment Updates
  • Once two champions possess the same Augment, that Augment is removed from the pool.
  • 60 Augments have been added to the Augment Pool! While we could share them all here, it’s more fun to enjoy exploring and experiencing them live. GLHF!

Queue Changes

  • Maximum Party Size: 2 players ⇒ 4 players (Note: when queuing with 3 players the party will be given the option to select who will be matched with a random player.)
  • Rating Restrictions: Players with a Gladiator rating can only queue with other Gladiator rated players ⇒ Players with an 8,100 rating or higher can only queue with 1 other player, and players must be within 1,000 rating of one another to queue together
  • Private Matchmaking: A full party of 8 players can queue together for an unrated game. There are no rating restrictions in private matches.

Rating System Changes

  • Arena ratings from the initial launch have been reset, and all players will begin in Wood Tier with a 500 rating.
  • Gold Tier Rating: 3200 ⇒ 3300
  • Gladiator Tier Rating: 3800 ⇒ 4000
