Patch 13.23 for League of Legends brings about turret gold changes and further balance tweaks to more of the roster like K’sante and Riven.

League of Legends patch 13.23 is bringing about a bunch of new updates to the MOBA including adjustments to turret gold and more balance changes to champions like K’sante.

This patch, which should be the final installment of Season 13, also plans to introduce some brand new system features around turret gold before the big Season 14 changes go live.

Here are the full patch notes for League of Legends patch 13.23 ahead of its release.

When does LoL Patch 13.23 go live?

League of Legends Patch 13.23 is expected to go live on 21st November 2023, according to Riot’s patch schedule. Patch 13.23 will head to Oceanic servers first, with other servers slowly receiving it throughout the day.

Here are the key timings of Patch 13.23 for your server:

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

There’ll be a few hours of downtime when patching begins, and matchmaking queues will be taken offline about three hours beforehand.

What’s changing in LoL patch 13.23?

Tower Gold changes

Riot is looking to give back a bit more power into snowballing by granting more local gold to players who destroy turrets. These changes will only apply to inner and inhibitor turrets but will grant a nice bonus to split-pushing top laners looking to get ahead.

K’Sante nerfs

K’Sante has been quite the problem for Riot’s balancing team. The Shuriman tank’s recent rework saw them skyrocket in win rate in solo queue prompting mass outrage from the community. The devs are still looking to tone him down a touch to have them better fit in with the roster.
