League of Legends has undergone significant changes in recent updates. In patch 13.10, Riot introduced the mid-season 2023 update, which brought about extensive alterations to almost every item in the game. Notably, mythic items were reworked into the legendary tier, while some legendary items were elevated to the mythic tier.
In patch 13.11, Riot focused on refining the game's balance and made several adjustments to ensure a better gameplay experience. This update also featured the Rell mini-rework, and due to her initially poor win rate, Riot promptly provided buffs to improve her performance. Additionally, buff sharing was introduced to the game during this patch.
Furthermore, patch 13.12 brought significant changes to individual champions. Rumble and Lucian received much-needed adjustments to enhance their gameplay and balance.
LoL Patch 13.13 Xerath changes
- Base mana reduced from 459 to 400
- Passive cooldown is now reduced by 2 seconds per kill
- R missiles increased from 3 – 5 to 3 – 7
- R base damage reduced from 200 – 300 to 200 – 280
- Ultimate AP ratio reduced from 45% to 40%
- R is now increased by 20 – 30 + 5% AP per champ hit
The upcoming changes to Xerath in patch 13.13 bring both buffs and nerfs to his abilities. While his base mana pool is being significantly reduced, it is not as severe as it may initially seem, as his passive receives a buff that reduces its cooldown by 2 seconds with each kill. This adjustment allows for decent mana regeneration if Xerath secures kills.
On the positive side, Xerath's late-game ultimate missile is receiving a substantial buff, increasing from 5 to 7. Furthermore, the damage of the missile scales with the number of champions hit. However, his base ultimate damage and AP ratio are being reduced.
Overall, these changes greatly enhance Xerath's late-game strength in the mid-lane role. However, they may have a negative impact on his performance as a support due to the mana pool reduction. As with any adjustments, the full impact of these changes will become clear once they are implemented and tested on live servers.
