League of Legends patch 14.13 preview goes over some of the champion adjustments that players can expect from the official update next week. Some of the highlights of the patch are the buffs making their way to Graves, Lee Sin, Orianna, Miss Fortune, and Lissandra.
These picks have been underperforming in the recent meta and Riot wants to give them a slight boost to help with their pick-and-ban.
Additionally, Skarner, Taliyah, and Brand will be having their names on the nerf list. Skarner especially has been very difficult to deal with in the top lane, hopefully, he will be more balanced with more counterplays in 14.13
