The headline is Qiyana, Empress of the Elements. The new champion is an assassin who wields a ring blade imbued with elemental powers that’ll grant her different abilities depending on whether it’s used in the brush, the river, or up against the wall. She’s far and away the biggest balance change, but tweaks to Udyr and Illaoi could be pretty chunky too. Meanwhile, Wukong and Malphite are back for more testing.
The other big change is the introduction of a brand-new game mode. Teamfight Tactics is a potentially permanent new edition to the game, inspired by the autobattler genre made famous thanks to Dota Auto Chess. The mode is likely to undergo some testing, but a ranked version is likely to make its way to the game in League of Legends patch 9.14 in a few weeks’ time.
Downtime for League of Legends patch 9.13 begins early tomorrow morning. Maintenance will begin at 03:00 PT for NA servers, 05:00 BST for EUW, and 03:00 CEST for EUNE, and is scheduled to last for three hours.
The new patch will also usher in the Teamfight Tactics release date. An open beta for the game will begin in North America on June 26, and will roll out across other servers over the following week.
