Here are the League Patch 13.6 patch notes

League of Legends season 13 is well underway as we hit the halfway point of March, and the title’s regular updates aren’t getting any less exciting—especially not League Patch 13.6, which boasts a pile of buffs, nerfs, and changes, plenty of stunning skins, and a shiny new champion.

League Patch 13.6 release date

The next update of 2023 will roll out on Wednesday, March 22, according to Riot’s patch schedule. As per usual, the patch will roll out worldwide across the day, starting in Australia at around 10am (AEDT). Here are the key patch rollout times for some of the major League servers:

3am PT (NA)
5am GMT (EU West)
3am CET (EU North East)
8am KR (Korea)

There will be several hours of downtime once the patch begins. Matchmaking and competitive queues will be disabled across all League servers three hours before the update is officially deployed and set live.

What’s coming in League Patch 13.6?

Yuumi, Aurelion Sol reworks already being nerfed

League’s newly reworked duo, Yuumi and Aurelion Sol, are both in the firing lines this week alongside oft-overpowered AD carry Zeri and burst mage Veigar. Yuumi is going to have her armor and resists cowled and her Prowling Projectile (Q) nerfed, likely via a weaker slow. Aurelion Sol’s nerfs have not yet been revealed.

Heading in the other direction, Vayne, Galio, Talon, and Ashe—though only her AD carry relevant abilities—will all be getting buffed once this next patch goes live.

“Overpowered” ADCs keep getting whacked

Just recently, Riot Games shoutcaster turned game developer David “Phreak” Turley declared war on the AD carry role, calling it “very overpowered” and swearing to reel in that dominance across the rest of the season.

More changes have landed along those lines in League Patch 13.6.

In particular, this time around, items Bloodthirster and Navori Quickblades and runes Lethal Tempo and Legend: Bloodline are being nerfed. Bloodthirster’s shields are being carved up, while Bloodline will have less lifesteal after this March update. Lethal Tempo is losing attack speed and Quickblades is losing its cooldown slightly.

**Faeries take over League with new skin line**

A cluster of new faeries is arriving on Summoner’s Rift in the 13.6 update, including variants for Ezreal, Karma, new champion Milio, and crowd-pleaser Seraphine. This time around, Katarina is the lucky pick⁠—she’s getting a Faerie Court Prestige skin to go with her newest cosmetic.

Here are all the new skins coming this patch:

Faerie Court Ezreal (1,350 RP)
Faerie Court Fiora (1,350 RP)
Faerie Court Kalista (1,350 RP)
Faerie Queen Karma (1,820 RP)
Faerie Court Katarina (1,350 RP)
Prestige Faerie Court Katarina (2,000 Faerie Court Tokens)
Faerie Court Milio (1,350 RP)
Faerie Court Seraphine (1,350 RP)
Ashen Guardian Shen (100 Mythic Essence)

These Faerie skins are set to go live during the League Patch 13.6 cycle.

Here are the official patch notes for the March 22 update.
