League of Legends patch 13.5 notes: Full list of new champion prices, Yuumi rework, jungle nerfs & more

League of Legends patch 13.5 is smaller than many of the latest updates, but there are still a wealth of changes to some of the most popular Champions and runes in the game.

While it isn’t as large as the last few sweeping balance patches, 13.5 has its fair share of changes that’ll affect almost every lane in the game. From some big nerfs to Gangplank’s barrels to Triumph and Grasp of the Undying getting changed as well as the Yuumi rework hitting this patch, there are some definite meta shake-ups in store.

When does LoL Patch 13.5 go live?

As per Riot’s patch schedule, Patch 13.5 should be released on March 8, 2023. These are the key timings for your servers on the day of the patch:

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

There will be downtime once the patch begins, and all matchmade and competitive queues will be disabled across all League of Legends servers about 3 hours before the patch hits.

What’s changing in LoL Patch 13.5?

Yuumi’s Rework

Any patch involving Yuumi is sure to be a controversial one, and League of Legends patch 13.5 will be no different. Her kit has a renewed focus on healing and shielding rather than outright damage amplification, and she has a new Friendship passive that rewards her for focusing on a certain ally.

Azir changes

Azir is getting something that’s about as close to a mid-scope update as it gets without having some full overhauls to his kit. His passive is up much more often, his power levels at any given point in the game are completely different, and he’s much squishier early on. It remains to be seen how the lengthy set of changes to his damage numbers ultimately affect him.

Jungle gank nerfs

Riot is pulling off some sweeping nerfs to jungle ganks this patch, particularly focusing on hitting early ganks harder, while rewarding players who prioritize farming camps. As such Riot is nerfing experience gained from lane for junglers, while buffing counter jungling and farming.

League of Legends Patch 13.5 notes

Here are the full patch notes for 13.5. Any crossed out notes are changes that were at one point implemented on the PBE but have since been rescinded.

Champions

Yuumi rework

Yuumi’s getting a full rework. Every ability has been changed, but she has a very similar playstyle and has crucially maintained her ability to stick to allies without being targetable. It’s hard to say whether or not she’ll go right back to being meta after the changes.

Her changelog is massive and, for ease of reading, you can check out the full list of Yuumi changes here.
