A Ton of Nerfs Rolling Out to League at the Beginning of the Year

in League of Legends
January 4, 2023
  • Jax’s mid-scope update is finally coming
  • Many of the most banned champions from last season will be nerfed
  • The new Patch 13.1 will roll out on January 10

Riot Games has come out of its winter holiday with a bang, implementing League’s newest Patch 13.1, which brings a ton of changes.

The New Patch Is Coming Next Week

As the new year rolls on, Riot unveiled the first patch of the year for League of Legends. It will include the Jax mid-scope update which was teased last month, as well as a ton of changes to other many champions. Patch 13.1 also marks the start of League’s Season 13 with its new ranked split, and although things are still a work in progress, it is the time to start climbing the competitive ladder. 

Since @RiotPhroxzon is out this week I've got your patch update!

For champions we're still mostly looking at soloq outliers as we head toward season start (10th). We're also buffing up a number of underpowered items and adjusting Jak'Sho to make it less valuable on fighters. pic.twitter.com/dTiEvv6iz7

The patch will go live next week on January 10, rolling out on Oceanic servers at 10 AM AEDT, with a worldwide rollout taking place across the rest of the day. As with previous major updates, there will be a few hours of downtime when patching begins, with matchmaking queues being taken offline a few hours before the patch is released. Here are the key timings for each region:

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

So What’s This Patch Going to Offer?

As mentioned before, Jax will be getting a much-needed mid-scope update to the delight of his mains. However, top mains will be hit by several significant nerfs with impacted champions including Aatrox, Dr. Mundo, and Fiora. The first one quickly became the most-picked top lane champion among players ranked Platinum and higher. His current win rate sits just over 50% and he is one of the most banned champions last season in his role. 

Dr. Mundo and Fiora are also leaders in their own roles. The doctor stands strongly at the position of the champion with the highest win rate of any top lane champion. Meanwhile, Fiora is the third-most banned champion in the game. Because of this, they’ll also be getting hit with nerfs in the first patch of the year with K’Sante and Mordekaiser joining them.

Another champion sitting at the top spots for the most banned is Yuumi. She had been marked for a nerf in the early stages of the last pre-season alongside several other tanks and bruisers. Considering how frustrating she is to deal with, according to the wider community, a change was desperately needed. Thanks to her incredible poke damage and late-game utility, Yuumi crowns the negative competition of the most banned support of the game. 

Only after players have had the time to experience Season 13 it will become clear if all these changes are successful.
