LoL Patch 13.7 Notes: All Buffs, Nerfs & System Adjustments

Support mains galore! League of Legends Patch 13.6 brought us a new competitor: Milio, the Gentle Flame has arrived at Summoner's Rift. That made us wonder: Has Riot actually for once managed to release a well-balanced champion or will he again be nerfed in LoL Patch 13.7? Well, in fact he already got nerfed just a few hours after being made available to play.

We will give you an in-depth look on everything about the upcoming League of Legends Patch. Of course there will be new skins, but also a lot of adjustments for champions, items and in-game systems that have been tested on the LoL Public Beta Environment (PBE) beforehand. As soon as these changes hit the PBE, you'll find them listed right here!

Riot To Add Off-Screen Pings

To try and help those of you who don't regularly check the moi map to see what your teammates are pinging, Riot will introduce off-screen pings. These will show up on the edge of your screen and Riot hopes that more people wil stay safe on the Rift.

Global Pings

These pings will be displayed to players, no matter who sent it. Even if you've in bot lane and the top laner used it, you'll see it pop up at the edge of your screen.

• Enemy Missing

Proximity Pings

These are pings that will appear at your edge of vision, if the person who used it is within a specific radius of your champion. Riot did state that this is about the same range as a Lux or Caitlyn Ultimate.

LoL Patch 13.7: New Cats vs. Dogs Skins

No new League Patch without some fresh skins, eh?! This time it's the Cats vs. Dogs skin line celebrating its comeback. You can already admire two of the new skins in our header image up top. Riot has announced the return of the popular skin line during the Season kickoff, now it will release in celebration of April Fools!

These are the champs that will receive a new Cats vs. Dogs skin:

• Shiba Yuumi
• Kittalee Nidalee
• Woof and Lamb Kindred
• Kibble-Head Kled

Either you love her or you hate her: Yuumi has stirred a lot of controversy during Worlds 2022:

As you can easily make out, it's Yuumi and Nidalee having a fun time together on that splash art up top. These fun skin lines always seem like the designers have been given complete freedom to get as creative as possible, which is great honestly.

One thing we need to mention: While the Broken Covenant skins have received a skin showcase and the Faerie Court skins even got a full-on event, the Cats vs. Dogs skins will regularly release one day after the patch drops without any kind of event.

This is mainly because the Faerie Court Event will still be ongoing during the time these April Fools skins are set to release. That means you'll still have more than enough time to grind as many tokens as possible once LoL Patch 13.7 drops.

LoL Patch 13.7 Release Date

LoL Patch 13.7 will drop on Wednesday, April 5, 2023. More than enough time to get used to our new champion Milio and we're curious to see whether he'll get nerfed again! When was the last time Riot actually released a properly balanced rework or champion? I certainly can't remember.

• League of Legends Guide: How To Play Milio
  

Although we might need to add that Milio's kit is a lot more approachable than say Zeri's or K'Sante's. Most of the champions Riot released during 2022 have been high-skill picks, but we can still advise you to take a look into our guide on how to play Milio!

Stop by again in a few days, we'll be constantly updating this article with all changes regarding LoL Patch 13.7. Until then – have fun, Summoner!
