As the thrilling 2023 League of Legends World Championship unfolds and the dreamy boyband “HEARTSTEEL” takes the global music scene by storm with their hit song “PARANOIA” Patch 13.22 emerges on the horizon, heralding further changes to League of Legends. It’s evident that Riot developers are continuing their experimental approach leading up to the 2024 preseason.

According to Riot’s lead gameplay designer, Riot Phroxzon, Patch 13.22 is focused on increasing the attack speed of mages. This change is warmly welcomed, as mages have faced challenges when it comes to incorporating auto-attacks into their abilities. This adjustment will also facilitate last-hitting minions, allowing players to stay relevant without the need to rely on the Attack Speed rune shard.

In addition, a slew of champion nerfs is poised to hit the Rift, with many reverting decisions from previous patches. Notably, Janna is slated for significant adjustments to her kit, along with Brand and Seraphine.

According to Riot’s patch schedule, League of Legends Patch 13.22 is expected to go live on 8 November 2023. It will first be available on Oceanic servers at 10 AM AEST, and then gradually roll out to other servers throughout the day, with the following key timings:

Here are the key timings of Patch 13.22 for your server:

• 3 AM PT (NA)
• 5 AM GMT (EUW)
• 3 AM CET (EUNE)

LoL Patch 13.22 early patch notes

You can find below a list of early patch notes for the 13.21 patch update.

Mage Attack Speed buffs

Riot has observed that Mages have been opting for the Attack Speed rune shard to mitigate their slow attack frames, which Riot Phroxzon notes have ‘become pretty outdated over time and are an unnecessary barrier of entry to their satisfaction’. Therefore, players can anticipate an increase in the attack speed of Mages.

However, Riot developers are aware of the need to exercise caution in not excessively buffing ranged champions, particularly in matchups against melee champions during the early game.
