LoL Patch 13.11 is already looking juicy with a bunch of champion updates, as well as some brand-new skins that fans have been awaiting for a long time.
LoL Patch 13.11 is going to be pretty interesting. Of course, we're going to have a lot of balance changes after the midseason update in LoL Patch 13.10, but Riot is also going to release two champion Mid-Scope Updates along with the long-awaited DRX World Championship skins.
So, let's go over all the buffs and nerfs and look into the midseason and the effects it had on our favorite League of Legends champions.

E - Full Tilt
This is a brand-new ability with her old E being taken out of the game completely.
