League of Legends patch 14.13 notes: Varus mini-rework, rune changes & more

League of Legends patch 14.13’s notes are finally here, and there’s a lot to unpack. Here are the full patch notes to get you up to speed on what’s getting adjusted.

Plenty of champion changes are coming to League of Legends on patch 14.13, many of them aimed at the pro play meta. Varus being moved away from full Lethality builds and toward attack speed and Kalista getting nerfed despite an abysmal solo queue win rate.

Brand and Karthus are also getting nerfed to try and reduce their jungle relevance, while underutilized champs like Miss Fortune, Xayah, and Lissandra are getting some big buffs to try and push them back into the meta.

League of Legends Patch 14.13 is expected to go live on June 26, 2024. Patch 14.13 will head to Oceanic servers first, with other servers slowly receiving it throughout the day.
