LoL 14.13 Patch Notes: All Champion and Item Changes

League of Legends' newest patch brings a lot of balance changes to the game as Riot Games is adjusting lots of different champions, items, and in-game systems. Not only does the meta shift rapidly from patch to patch, but it seems that the devs are looking to provide reasonable buffs, nerfs, and adjustments to the current top picks and builds. 

Season 14 was marked with significant changes to League of Legends, prompting many playstyles and strategies to change, especially considering the massive map overhaul, new and removed items, and many other aspects of the beloved MOBA. With that being said, we will take a look at all of the updated champions, items, and in-game systems for Patch 14.13 of League of Legends.

LoL 14.13 Patch Ranked Promotion LP Update

For a long time, after being promoted to a new Rank Tier (such as S1 to G4), players start with 1 LP and this feels frustrating, especially when winning at high LP values (90+). We are making a change to count LP as a normal win after being promoted to a new Rank Tier. It will be more intuitive and true to players' game by game rank journey. With the inflation control and LP optimization we've been doing since split 1, 2024, we are confident that this change won't introduce inflation and won't break competitive integrity, it's a win based on a healthier LP ecosystem. 

If the LP as a normal win will add up to a sum of 0 post promotion, 1 LP will be added, so in this specific scenario, players will still start with 1 LP.

LoL 14.13 Patch Arena Changes

We've set up a static, Free-To-Play pool of 31 champions for Arena. These will be available to all players and are aimed toward creating a wider variety of experiences. Our hope is that this gives you, and the friends you bring, access to your favorite champions to complement whatever crazy Arena strategy you've cooked up!

LoL 14.13 Patch ARAM Changes

• New Reroll-to- Bench Cooldown: Previously, if players rerolled their champion, then their previous champion could be picked by their teammates immediately. Now, your rerolled champion will have a three second “bench cooldown” for your teammates, meaning they will be unable to pick said champion and you can get them back without any stress. Goodbye bench sniping minigame! This change won't impact any of the existing swap-with-bench behavior as it focuses on rerolling, meaning if you swap with a bench champion, your teammate will still be able to pick the champion you gave up immediately.
• Quick Purchase Panel Update: ARAM's boots and elixir sections will now be included in the quick purchase panel to align with the recent changes in the Summoner's Rift shop.
• Item: Hullbreaker has been added back to the Howling Abyss.

• Fixed an issue that caused the Chemtech Drake to immediately chase the champion that started combat with it while flying up instead of finishing the flying up animation first. This behavior now matches the other drakes.
• Fixed an issue that caused Viego to obtain an Ornn Masterwork item if he possessed an Ornn while at level 14 or above and was equipped with the same item as Ornn.
• Fixed an issue that prevented Heartsteel from scaling properly with Ornn Masterwork items.
