League of Legends Patch 13.1 Released

With the start of the new season in League of Legends, Riot Games has announced the first major patch of the new year. The developers introduced update 13.1 with which they reworked the balance of characters, items, and more.

A total of 14 characters have been changed in patch 13.1: 6 will be nerfed, 6 will be buffed, and 2 will be partially reworked. In addition, 6 items will be changed.

Champion Changes in Patch 13.1

Let's start with reworked or partially redesigned champions. This is Jax and Ramus.

Jax used in the top lane, mid lane, and jungle will get an additional ultimate effect. This slightly diversifies the gameplay for him:

Jax

True Master's Might[R]

NEW ACTIVE: Jax brandishes his lantern, dealing 150/250/350 (+100% Ability Power) magic damage to nearby enemies. Hitting a champion gains 25/45/65 (+40% bonus AD) armor. In addition, he gains an additional 15/20/25% (+10% bonus AD) armor for each champion hit for 8 seconds. He also increases his magic resistance by 60% of these values. During this time, Jax deals bonus magic damage every second basic attack, instead of every third.

Another character that received a rework is Ramus. In the off-season, the jungle was a success, and in some places seemed broken due to the build through Jac'Shaw of the Many Faces in synergy with the Guard Posture[W]ability. That is why Riot revised this bundle.

Rammus

• Percentage Armor: 60/70/80/90/100% - 40/55/70/85/100%

Under the "scissors" were mostly top line characters: Aatrox, Doctor Mundo. Fiora, K'Sante. However, the nerf will affect the bot lanes as well: support Yumi and Strelka Zeri.
