Everything you need to know about the latest League of Legends patch
League of Legends patch 13.16 releases later today at 20:00 UTC. We are approaching Worlds season with the majority of the domestic leagues wrapping up their playoffs ahead of esports biggest event of the year. There has been a couple of buffs to some of Worlds 2022 most favored champions, will they make a return at Worlds 2023? Esports.gg is here to bring you the League of Legends patch 13.16 notes.
Changes made in the mid lane
Mid-lane has been in need of changes for quite some time with ADC's such as Tristana and Kai'Sa heavily dominating the conversation specifically in competitive play. Tristana for the majority of the season has been a powerhouse in the mid lane, and it seems Riot is looking to push the Yordle back into the bottom lane. The nerfs to Tristana will still see her be a late-game powerhouse, but significantly weaker against Mages, meaning we should see far less Tristana mid.
Two champions that terrorized Worlds 2022 were Sylas and Akali. The Assassins were the first and third most picked champions in mid at the World Championship and it seems that Riot is gearing up to have them feature once again. Sylas is seeing a big increase in his base mana while Akali's energy cost will be much lower while an increase in damage.
Here are the full patch notes for League of Legends patch 13.16.
