Here are the early League Patch 13.2 patch notes

League of Legends Season 13 is well and truly in swing now, and the Riot Games developers are already making sweeping changes to the League meta through a pile of buffs, nerfs, and changes as the year’s best and worst champions begin to make themselves known across Summoner’s Rift.

Next up in League’s fortnightly updates is Patch 13.2, which is just as weighty—if not even more so⁠—than Season 13’s first patch. Annie and Ahri lead the usual raft of champion changes, while 23 items (and counting) are under the microscope.

On top of the bountiful changelist, the Riot devs have locked in more Lunar-themed skin and cosmetics for the month’s second patch cycle.

Here’s everything you need to know about League Patch 13.2.

League Patch 13.2 release date

The first update of 2023 will roll out on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 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 13.2?

Riot fire up Annie win rate with buffs

Annie is at the forefront of 13.2 changes after going nearly a year without any tweaks to her abilities (the last time she got changes was Patch 12.12). The Dark Child has slipped into “niche pick” range early in Season 13 and Riot is trying to fix that this update.

To boost her play rate and win rate alike, the League devs are hiking up numbers for her stun-heavy passive (Pyromania), W (Incinerate), E (Molten Shield), and her famous Tibbers ultimate.

Riot Phroxzon confirmed these changes are coming on Jan. 17.

More mana (and buffs) for a dozen ADCs

Bot laners⁠—or more specifically, AD carry mains⁠—are getting a fair bit of love in League Patch 13.2, with a dozen marksmen getting mana buffs and ability changes.

The sweeping ADC buffs, revealed by LCS commentator-turned-Riot developer David “Phreak” Turley on Jan. 14, are expected to hit Ashe, Caitlyn, Ezreal, Jhin, Jinx, Kai’Sa, Lucian, Miss Fortune, Senna, Sivir, Twitch, and Xayah. They will focus on mana, including base starting pools, growth, regen, and more.

More Lunar skins to hit League shopfront

The Lunar New Year’s celebrations roll on this patch, with another six themed cosmetics coming for Ashe, Kha’Zix, Malphite, Qiyana, Thresh, and Lissandra, the last of which is getting a stunning new Prestige skin.

Here are all the new skins coming in Patch 13.2:

These skins are all set to go live at the same time as the League 13.2 update.

Here are all the early patch notes for the upcoming Jan. 24 update. Remember, until Riot releases the official notes, any of these changes are still tentative and could be pulled for a later League update at any time.
