LoL Patch 13.10 Notes

Riot recently announced that the upcoming Patch 13.10 would be the biggest update of the season so far. In a recent dev blog post, the Rioter explained their goal of making Mythic items powerful and have capstone effects that define builds. They will change their philosophy on how those are built.

With that in mind, the biggest changes will be for ADC itemization. Kraken Slayer and Shieldbow will be redesigned to fit into the Legendary items, with Infinity Edge, Quickblades, Rageblade, and Galeforce as the Mythic items.

In particular, Rageblade will have some notable changes that will make it look more like the older version. Additionally, Statikk Shiv will be making a return with a different stat profile.

Aside from ADC items, though, Riot is also tweaking the enchanter and Lethality items. For the latter, they will look into Prowler’s Claw and Duskblade of Draktharr, with the first reworked into a Legendary item. To make up for the loss of the Mythic item, Youmuu’s Ghostblade will be promoted to Mythic status. Duskblade, instead, will be reworked.

Enchanter will have a new version of the Unholy Grail item (which we will see later). Other items will also be reworked, hoping to create better build paths and higher satisfaction outputs.

There are also some important system changes, tweaking how minions work, as well as other effects, like Unleashed Teleport and Homeguards effect.

There will also be some Snow Moon skins added, with Ahri, Morgana, and Varus each getting their own version.

How will the upcoming patch impact the meta?

There is a big amount of changes so we’ll take some considerations based on how the tweaks are made in a few days’ time. For now, Rageblade seems quite a strong item.
