On Jan. 31, lead League designer, Matt Leung-Harrison, revealed Riot’s plans for Patch 13.3. Besides system changes that didn’t fit into Patch 13.1b and a handful of nerfs to tanks, Patch 13.3 will focus on giving some love to Kayle, Lee Sin, Kayn (assassin), Jarvan IV, Trundle, LeBlanc, and support tanks.

The full list of changes still hasn’t been published, but we have details on support tank buffs, with Alistar, Thresh, and Braum leading the pack with generous mana cost and cooldown buffs. For other champions, there are a few clues pointing to how these buffs will look, but we do know the balancing team are looking at junglers specifically to balance tower diving.

“We’re looking at jungle dive power and rewards for gank vs farm. There’s more to do on Jungle, but we want to hit early gank power (esp for bot lane) in the short term,” the League lead developer explained.

The full list of changes will be revealed in the next couple of days, so keep your eyes on the Patch 13.3 notes as we regularly update them with the latest news and changes.
