LoL Patch 13.21 – Details, Release date, and more

Now that Patch 13.20 is officially on the live servers, it’s time to take a look at the upcoming Patch 13.21 that will be coming to LoL.

LoL Patch 13.21 – What changes are coming?

Patch 13.20 is officially out and it came with a lot of important changes. Not only did we get a major K’Sante rework and Jax’s visual update, but we also received radical adjustments to the jungle, rune system, and dragons.

For junglers, this patch will be some sort of pre-season. We’re not expecting to be completely different, but it should nerf junglers’ agency over the laners, reducing their impact in the early game, especially in solo queue.

Moreover, there is also support and starting item changes, as well as some buffs and nerfs. Overall, it’s quite a big patch and it should take a while for players to get used to the new update. While we’re monitoring how the meta will shape up in the upcoming days, let’s also set our eyes on the upcoming Patch 13.21.

While we haven’t gotten many leaked changes so far, we learned from game designer Spideraxe that Tahm Kench is receiving some changes. You can find them in the section below. Additionally, the Cafe Cuties skin line is back and four new champions will be receiving the skin: Jinx, Lulu, Poppy, and Rumble. Check out more details in the following sections.

Patch 13.21 Release Date

According to the official patch schedule, Patch 13.21 will be released on Wednesday, October 25. After that, there will be three more patches before the end of season 13.

How will the upcoming patch impact the meta?

Considering we don’t know what changes will be coming in, it’s hard to judge now what the meta will look like in the next patch. For now, however, we should see slower-paced games and the rise of scaling picks. Junglers will have to play slower, thus increasing the overall game time. That said, most players will still continue through their bot lane, especially in the first few weeks. These changes need quite a few weeks to settle in, so let’s see in the next days what direction the game will have.

Fiora is getting rescripted in 13.21. Shouldn’t change how she works but it increases the risk of adding bugs as some are getting removed.

Passive health ratio: 3% bonus HP ⇒ 5%
