League of Legends 13.14 Patch Notes Breakdown
Welcome to our patch notes breakdown for League of Legends Season 13!
Let’s break down all the new changes in LoL coming this week.
We recommend following along with the official 13.14 patch notes since we won’t be listing all the specific stat changes, but rather, focusing on the impact of the changes and the champions updated place in the current meta.
If you’re wondering how these changes will affect the meta, check out our LoL champion tier list!
New Champion Release
Naafiri
Here’s a breakdown of Naafiri’s abilities.
Naafiri’s Passive is We Are More
Periodically, she summons a Packmate to help her. Packmates attack enemies that she attacks. Hitting a champion or killing enemies reduce its cooldown so more will spawn.
Naafiri’s Q is Darkin Daggers
Naafiri throws a dagger in the target direction that deals damage to enemies hit. If it hits a champion, she heals herself a little bit. All enemies hit are affected with Bleed. If she uses her Q against Bleeding targets, the Bleed will end and deal additional damage. She can recast this ability. Packmates will lunge at the first target hit, but prio champs.
Naafiri’s W is Hounds’ Pursuit
Naafiri channels while concentrating herself and her Packmates on a champion. She then dashes to the enemy, but if she collides with another champion, she deals damage to them and slows them instead.
Naafiri’s E is Eviscerate
Naafiri dashes to a target location, dealing damage to enemies nearby. Packmates health get restored.
Naafiri’s R is The Call of the Pack
Naafiri gains bonus movement speed and gets a lot of vision. When they hit an enemy, they gain a shield and all the Packmates are empowered. If they get a kill, the duration refreshes.
