LoL Patch 14.13 Arena Patch Notes: All Buffs & Nerfs

LoL Patch 14.13 has some big changes in store for players on Summoner's Rift, but with Riot paying more and more attention to Arena, they've also made some major changes for this unique game mode as well to keep things fun and balanced.

Arena is sticking around throughout the entire ranked split, with Riot looking to keep the balance fresh. With them introducing 16-bans in the previous patch, what will be different in LoL Patch 14.13?

Arena Nerfs

Champion Nerfs

There are far fewer champion nerfs this patch, which goes to show how well balanced Arena feels currently for players. Adding in more bans will also help players see more diversity in the game mode, hopefully. So who is getting nerfed this time around?

Kayn

• Q Darkin Physical Damage Per Hit: 65% AD (+ 4% (+ 3% per 100 bonus AD) target maximum health ⇒ 65% AD (+ 3% (+ 2.5% per 100 bonus AD) target maximum health

• Q Physical Damage: 140/210/280/350/420 (+ 80% bonus AD) ⇒ 120/175/230/285/340 (+ 75% bonus AD)

Renata Glasc

• Passive Mark AP Ratio: 0.03% ⇒ 0.01%

• W Minimum Heal: 20/40/60/80/100 (+ 35% AP) ⇒ W Minimum Heal: 20/40/60/80/100 (+ 30% AP)
• W Magic Damage: 65/100/135/170/205 (+ 80% AP) ⇒ 65/100/135/170/205 (+ 65% AP)

Item Nerfs

Since there are no augment nerfs this time around, Riot is going to be nerfing only items in the game, but even then, there aren't many adjustments that the balance team is making.

• Hamstringer
  • Attack Damage: 50 ⇒ 45

Arena Adjustments

One champion is going to be receiving adjustments in this League of Legends Arena Patch, and that is Vi.

• Q Minimum Physical Damage: 45/70/95/120/145 (+ 80% AD) ⇒ 45/70/95/120/145 (+ 70% AD)
• E Physical Damage: 0/15/30/45/60 (+ 100% AD) ⇒ 0/15/30/45/60 (+ 120% AD)
• R Physical Damage: 150/200/250 (+ 70% bonus AD) ⇒ 150/200/250 (+ 60% bonus AD)

Free Champion Rotation

Not only is Riot making these balance changes in this patch, but they've also added in a free champion rotation to Arena. These champions will be available to all players. Riot is trying to get more players involved, creating more experiences for them by expanding their champion pool in this game mode as well. check out the full list of champions in the official patch notes with 31 free to play options available.

In comparison to LoL Patch 14.12, there are far fewer LoL Arena changes this time around, but it is still a decent balance patch that should keep things unique and interesting in every game of Arena.
