Despite a cyberattack, ransom statements, and hackers who reportedly auctioned Riot Games' source code, League of Legends 13.1B The patch became available on January 26. Until we leave all this behind and move on to Patch 13.3, we still have Patch 13.1C ahead of us. Similar to the last patch, Patch 13.1C brings balancing changes to champions and items.
At the heart of Patch 13.1C are overdue changes that can help Annie dazzle mid lane once again, and generous buffs for Alistar, Thresh, and Rakan that can stave off SG's explosive trend. The patch will also bring the long-awaited nerfs for Radiant Virtue and the final changes to the overhauled Jax skins.
Unfortunately, the Heartache and Heartthrob skins will only move to live servers with Patch 8 coming on February 13.3. This means that Patch 13.1C will not have new skins in store for us.
Here's everything you need to know about the League of legends 13.1C patch.
League of Legends patch 13.1C release date
We're past the point of looking at Riot's patch schedule right now, as the cyberattack interrupted the release of Patch 12.2 and split it into two micropatches, Patch 13.1B-13.1C.
Considering that Patch 13.1B was released on January 26 and Patch 13.3 is scheduled for release in Summoner's Rift on February 8, we can assume that Patch 13.1C will be released on February 2 or 3 this week.
Major changes like the remake of Ahri ASU and Aurelion Sol will move to live servers on February 8 with Patch 13.3 if all goes as planned.
The biggest updates and changes in Patch 13.1C
Return of traditional support champions to bottom lane
When Senna and Imperial Mandate Ashe first appeared on the streets of Summoner's Rift in a supporting role, no one would have guessed that we would later witness the rise of some Adcs like Jhin and Caitlyn. To restore balance in the bottom lane, Riot heavily reinforces traditional support picks like Braum, Alistar, Rakan, Thresh, and Nautilus.
As promised, buffs for Annie are waiting for us!
Originally intended to give the mid laner queen the changes she deserved, Annie buffs were supposed to be released with Patch 13.2. After the cyber attack, the changes were delayed until further notice.
The promised Annie changes to the current League of Legends PBE build, including buffs to her passive and abilities, are waiting to arrive on the servers. Considering the recent Centennial Stick buffs and the current mid laner meta dominated by Ryze – Kassadin, Annie might really see some movement after these changes.
