The patch notes for League of Legends update 12.13 have been shared by Riot Games before the arrival of new LoL champion Nilah.

It’s an exciting time for LoL fans. Aside from the arrival of new champion Nilah on July 14th, fans will also be claim to the Star Guardian skins for Ekko, Kai’ Sa, Nilah, and Nemesis.

All of the Star Guardians look incredible, but the forthcoming update includes lots more.

Nilah, the Joy Unbound, will be hitting the Rift on July 14!

Star Guardian Ekko, Star Guardian Kai’Sa, Star Guardian Nilah, Star Guardian Sona, Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks, and Prestige Star Guardian Ekko will be available July 14, 2022.

[s] Health regen growth increased. Q snip damage increased, center snip true damage decreased, now deals reduced damage against minions, but bonus damage against low health minions. W bonus armor and MR increased, duration decreased. E bonus on-hit magic damage increased, bonus attack range increased, cooldown increased, cooldown refunded on first basic attack increased. R damage per needle increased, recast conditions adjusted.

[c] Gwen has been one of the premiere top laners since MSI, and the Durability Update only increased her strengths. Even after her nerfs in 12.11, she’s still a cut above the competition, especially when it comes to Pro Play. We’re snipping some power out of her Pro-skewed abilities like her E and W to patchwork it into some more accessible parts of her kit. These should net out in a nerf to Pro Gwen and a buff to her in Average and Skilled levels of play.

Damage Per Needle :: 30/55/80 (+8% AP) >>> 35/65/95 (+10% AP) [UPDATE] NEW PATTERNS :: Recast resets after damaging an enemy champion >>> Recast resets after 1 second

[s] Q AD scaling increased. W cooldown decreased at all ranks. [c] Kled’s been fulfilling his role as a lane bully quite well, but he hasn’t been able to capitalize on his advantages to be a terror outside of top. We’re buffing the Cantankerous Cavalier to help make him a bit more of a dangerous presence in the later stages of the game.

Q – Bear Trap on a Rope (Mounted)

[c] Adding Regional Transfer Rank Preservation. If you transfer your account out of a region and back to that region within two weeks, your account’s ranked state upon returning to your original region will be restored to what it was when you left. This is intended to curb some region-transfer rank abuse we’ve been seeing and also means you won’t have to re-do your ranked climb if you take your League account with you on a quick vacation.

The following skins will be released in this patch:
