Here are the notes and updates for League of Legends Patch 12.13

Finally, a new patch.

After taking an extended break to rest, recharge, and stretch their wrists, the Riot devs are back with another gigantic League of Legends update.

Patch 12.13 introduces a new champion called Nilah, who is described as a warrior from a distant land, seeking the world’s deadliest, most titanic opponents so she can challenge and destroy them. A melee skirmisher ADC, the Joy Unbound will almost certainly shake up the meta.

Along with the new champ, Patch 12.13 also includes a series of balance changes, with the biggest of the lot targeting Sivir. After falling into obscurity, the devs are injecting the bot laner with a mid-scope update. The changes aim to set the champ up to have the strongest AoE DPS output of all marksmen in the game, helping to shift her identity from a chauffeur for her teammates to a high damage ADC with the ability to clean up teamfights.

Patch 12.13 is expected to hit the live servers on Wednesday, July 13. Here are the notes and updates for the upcoming update.

Champions

[New] Nilah

Passive – Joy Unending

• Nilah amplifies the healing and shielding abilities of nearby allies. Allies that heal or shield Nilah gain a bonus heal or shield for themselves. And when an allied champion heals or shields themselves near Nilah, she gives herself a bonus heal or shield.
• If Nilah last hits an enemy minion, she and her nearest allied champion will gain the normal amount of shared experience, plus half of the experience that would have been lost due to sharing.

Q – Formless Blade 

• Active: Nilah’s Formless Blade strikes in a line, damaging all enemies hit. Hitting an enemy will briefly increase Nilah’s attack range and attack speed and empower her basic attacks, causing them to splash in a cone and deal additional damage.
• Passive: Attacks and ability damage against champions ignore some of their armor and heal Nilah for part of the damage dealt. This effect scales with crit chance and converts any excess healing into a shield.

W – Jubilant Veil

• Nilah shrouds herself in a Jubilant Veil and briefly gains bonus move speed, takes reduced magic damage, and dodges all incoming basic attacks.
• Touching an ally champion hides them in the veil as well, but they’ll be protected for a shorter period.

E – Slipstreams

• Slipstream lets Nilah dash through a target unit, traveling a fixed distance every time and damaging all enemies she passes through. She can store up to 2 charges at once.
• Cast Formless Blade during Slipstream to pull a wave in your path, dealing damage after a quick delay and granting Formless Blade’s enhanced basic attack effect.

R – Apotheosis

• Nilah unleashes a surge of power, lashes her whip in an area around her, and, with a final burst, pulls enemies in toward the center.
• Apotheosis heals Nilah for part of the damage dealt, converting any excess healing into a shield. This effect scales with crit chance and is granted to nearby allies.
