League of Legends Patch Notes: 13.4 Updates 28 Champions

Following Riot Games’ recent hack, the League of Legends patch notes have been, finally, a little thinner, instead working until the 13.4 update where the MOBA gets back on track. With 28 champions undergoing some sort of balance, ranked LP changes, and more, folks, that’s a big deal.

PL changes

If you’re one of the many ranked demons in League of Legends, you probably won’t like what’s next. To match ranked experience (you rank quickly at the start of the season, then plateau), Riot increases the amount of LP you gain or lose.

The official text reads “Amount of LP gain and loss when your visible range roughly matches your MMR from 15 to 22. All gain and loss values ​​are increased at all levels.” This actually means that when you win you rank faster, but when you lose you may also be demoted faster.

This generally makes the higher levels of the game much more volatile and will encourage more competitive gameplay overall. Alternatively, it can lead to many PCs being thrown out the window, but we like to look on the bright side here.

League of Legends Party Cat is here

Yes seriously. The accompanying patch 13.4 is Party Chat, a separate room within the General Chat feature where you can communicate directly with your prefabs. Using /p, /party, or /pt will let you chat transparently with your friends or scold them for not attacking your lane, depending on your preference.

League of Legends Patch Notes: Update 13.4

Below is a summary of all champion balances coming with Patch 13.4. There are a lot of item changes, ARAM tweaks, and more, but since we’re running out of space, I’ll leave that up to the folks at Riot.
