Patch 7.13 is on the way and the official patch notes have been posted!
Here's the full 7.13 patch notes:
Aloha, friends.
Welcome to patch 7.13, the one where Honor makes a comeback! At the end of every game you’ll be able to honor one of your teammates with one of the new categories. GG? GG! <3
We also have the regular balance changes; toning down Galio a bit, giving Gnar some love, reining in a certain electric rat, and sharpening the edges on both Kindred and Rek’Sai.
Closing it up, did you know we have new tips for the loading screen? We've also got a way to track your vision score during the game, and the SKT T1 skins are here!
See you on the Rift,
Paul "Aether" Perscheid
Phillip "Costy" Costigan
Mattias "Gentleman Gustaf" Lehman
Lucas "Luqizilla" Moutinho
Honor Update
Honor has been given a complete overhaul. You’ll see a new voting screen, the addition of a persistent Honor level, and rewards for consistently honorable play. Honor will be activated at some point during the patch. Read the full primer here.
NEWVoting screen
VOTING SCREENAfter each game, honor one teammate
HONOR CATEGORIESFriendly, Helpful, Teamwork, Honorable Opponent ⇒ Great shotcalling, Stayed cool, GG <3
Post-game screen
NEWPOST-GAME CEREMONYIf the majority of your team honors you, you get a shoutout for the whole lobby.
NEWHONOR LEVELSEveryone starts at Honor level 2, and consistent honorable play unlocks an evolving Honor level, displayed on the profile page. You will move up even if you are not honored, providing you’re always playing to win.
NEWBOOSTEDIf a full team all participates in the Honor vote, everyone on that team will receive a small boost to their Honor level progress
Loading screen
UPDATEDFLAIRAt Honor level 3 and above, receiving honor in the post-game screen unlocks a loading screen flair for your next game. Your loading screen flair design levels up as you do.
Rewards
UPDATEDKEY FRAGMENTSKey fragments will drop exclusively through Honor. As long as you’re at least level 2 (the starting level) you’ll continue to receive the same amount as now. and these will drop outside of the post-game screen, or on login.
NEWHONOR CAPSULESAfter level 3, you’ll receive Honor Capsules as well as key fragments. These don’t require a key to open, and contain at least two key fragments. Some also contain champ shards and exclusive rewards like Medieval Twitch and Grey Warwick skin permanents.
Champions
Galio
Armor reduced. Q tornado zone base damage reduced, ratio increased.
Galio’s throwing his weight around a bit too well, so we’ve got a few changes to help opponents go toe to toe with the big guy in lane. First, we’re reining in his ability to instaclear waves without speccing into damage. Second, we’re making him more vulnerable to physical damage, given his niche is the anti-magic tank. Finally, we’re giving opponents a larger window to knock Galio down when he tries to Hero’sEntranceExit a hostile gank.
Base stats
BASE ARMOR27 ⇒ 24
Q - Winds of War
TORNADO ZONE DAMAGE45/60/75/90/105 (+0.45 ability power) over 1.5 seconds ⇒ 30/40/50/60/70 (+0.6 ability power) over 1.5 seconds
R - Hero's Entrance
CHANNEL TIMEGalio channels for 1 second ⇒ 1.25 seconds before jumping into the air (hover time before dashing reduced by 0.25 seconds; total time to reach target unchanged)
Gnar
Mini Q damage increased. Mega E jump range increased.
Gnar’s having trouble getting the job done, both as a lane bully in Mini form and a teamfight initiator in Mega form. In Mini Gnar’s case, Boomerang Throw could pack a harder punch as his primary means of whittling skittish enemies down and out of lane. Mega Gnar by contrast already has the raw power necessary to wreak havoc on his foes, but needs help getting into range to use those tools. These changes together help Gnar regardless of which hat he’s currently wearing.
Q - Boomerang Throw
BASE DAMAGE5/35/65/95/125 ⇒ 5/45/85/125/165
Mega E - Crunch
RANGE475 ⇒ 600
Kennen
W-empowered attack bonus is now base plus AP and bonus AD ratios. Hurricane no longer stacks W. E ratio increased.
As a basic-attack-focused mage, Kennen has access to both physical- and magic-damage focused builds. Choosing between them affects the strengths Kennen brings to the table: the physical build gives him more consistent, unrelenting damage, while the magic build makes him a burstier threat to deal with. In theory. The balance between these builds is off-kilter: AD Kennen's sustained damage is actually pretty bursty, and AP Kennen isn't bursting hard enough. We're giving AP Kennen better scaling, but our work on AD Kennen's a bit more nuanced.
Primarily, we're removing Electrical Surge as a repeatable damage spike in the physical build. Surge’s AD scaling is down, and in the (usual) case where Kennen picks up Runaan's Hurricane, it no longer triples Electrical Surge's stack rate. The nuance is in the ratio switch from total AD to bonus, a change meant to mitigate the impact to bot lane Kennen, who we’d like to keep viable as a niche strategic option. Switching to bonus AD removes the innate disadvantage bot lane Kennen faces with total AD scaling (bot laners are generally lower-level than solo laners, so their base AD hasn’t scaled as much) while letting us make a smaller ratio reduction than if we had stuck with total AD.
W - Electrical Surge
EMPOWERED ATTACK BONUS DAMAGE0.4/0.5/0.6/0.7/0.8 total attack damage ⇒ 15/20/25/30/35 (+0.6 bonus attack damage) (+0.3 ability power)
REMOVEDSHURRICANEElectrical Surge now stacks when Kennen fires a basic attack, instead of on-hit. (Runaan’s Hurricane no longer grants extra stacks.)
E - Lightning Rush
RATIO0.6 ability power ⇒ 0.8 ability power
Kha'Zix
Q damage decreased but Isolation bonus increased. R stealth duration increased.
While getting each of Kha’Zix’s ability evolutions to at least niche appeal has been a juggling act as long as he’s existed in the game, Evolved Active Cloaking is currently in a pretty unpickable state. To remedy this, we’re making it easier for KZ to chain-stealth through multiple brush patches with R’s evolution, closing greater distances unseen. To make space for the buff, we’re reducing Q’s damage outside of Isolated situations (where it’s actually stronger! Something something strategic identity.)
Q - Taste Their Fear
BASE DAMAGE70/95/120/145/170 ⇒ 60/85/110/135/160
RATIO1.2 bonus attack damage ⇒ 1.1 bonus attack damage
ISOLATION BONUS+50% damage ⇒ +65% damage
R - Void Assault
INVISIBILITY DURATION1.25 seconds ⇒ 1.5 seconds
EVOLVED INVISIBILITY DURATIONUpon entering brush while out of combat, Kha’Zix becomes invisible for 2.5 seconds ⇒ 3 seconds
EVOLVED INVISIBILITY LINGERUp to 1.25 seconds ⇒ 1.5 seconds after exiting brush
Kindred
Passive increases range more often, W and E damage up.
Since their update, we’ve had more time to assess Kindred's power and there was potential to give them a little bit more power throughout their kit. First we have the marks - as the game progresses, it gets harder to acquire marks, which makes it even harder for Kindred to access their bonus range, so we're easing the curve on the passive a bit. Additionally, early trades were still a bit on the weak side and Wolf attacks during Wolf's Frenzy didn't feel meaningfully more powerful with each successful hunt.
Passive - Mark of the Kindred
RANGE PER MARKSKindred’s basic attacks and Mounting Dread gain 75 range at 4 stacks, plus 25 range every 4 stacks ⇒ every 3 stacks thereafter
W - Wolf's Frenzy
ADDITIONAL DAMAGE PER MARK0.5% enemy current health ⇒ 1% enemy current health
E - Mounting Dread
BASE DAMAGE40/60/80/100/120 ⇒ 60/80/100/120/140
Maokai
Base health increased, R range increased, cooldown per level reduced.
Maokai is on the doorstep of finding his home on the Rift, so we’re giving him the keys to unlock what the Twisted Treant is supposed to be doing more often and more successfully.
Base stats
BASE HEALTH540 ⇒ 565
R - Nature's Grasp
RANGE2500 ⇒ 3000
COOLDOWN120/110/100 seconds ⇒ 120/100/80 seconds
Poppy
Q health ratio up.
Midseason left some tanks with less damage than they need to function. A little bump to Poppy’s bread and butter skill should go a long way toward bringing her back.
Q - Hammer Shock
RATIO7% target’s maximum health ⇒ 8% target’s maximum health
Rek'Sai
Void Rush AD ratio increased. W unburrow speed standardized.
After a couple of patches, we’re pretty comfortable with where Rek’Sai sits right now. We think there’s still slightly more room for Void Rush to scale, and we’re also making Rek’Sai’s gameplay more fluid and consistent.
Q - Queen's Wrath
SO FRESH SO QUEENSpells queued while attacking are handled better
Burrowed W - Un-burrow
UNBURROW SPEEDNow takes the same time to unburrow whether you press W or attack a target (0.15 seconds)
BUGFIXKnockback effect for secondary targets no longer lasts slightly longer than intended
R - Void Rush
RATIO1.6 bonus attack damage ⇒ 1.85 bonus attack damage
HUD PINGVoid Rush can now properly be HUD-pinged to display its cooldown or readiness, regardless of whether a marked target is in range
GREEN CIRCLEVoid Rush’s cooldown availability now displays accurately for allies in the HUD
SPECTATOR NOISEPrey marks no longer show up for spectators
Shaco
E base damage down. E scaling up at later levels. E damage now physical instead of magical. E Execute paradigm altered.
Shaco isn’t getting to live out his assassin fantasy, instead playing as a “sort of tanky fighter with some dashes and a slow that allows him to stick to one target and stat check them to death”. We want him to feel more rewarded for building damage and stabbing people.
E - Two-Shiv Poison
BASE DAMAGE5/35/65/95/125 ⇒ 50/75/100/125/150
RATIO0.75 total attack damage ⇒ 0.6/0.75/0.9/1.05/1.2 bonus attack damage
DAMAGE TYPEMagic ⇒ Physical
NEWFINISH HIMNow deals up to 50% additional damage based on target's missing health
REMOVEDFINISH HIMNo longer deals 3 ~ 8% missing health damage based on character level
Trundle
Q can damage turrets. W healing and regeneration amp increased and applies more quickly.
For a champion who excels at split-pushing and dueling his laner, Trundle’s Chomp not applying to turrets is just unintuitive. We’re adding that interaction back in, and taking the time to clean up the way Chomp works.
Q - Chomp
NEW?JAWS OF STEELTrundle can once again Chomp turrets
NEWORTHODONTIC SURGERYThe attack following Chomp now has more consistent timing and scales better with attack speed.
W - Frozen Domain
INCREASED HEALING AND REGENERATION20% ⇒ 25%
BUGFIXWas already giving 25% increased lifesteal. We’re “fixing” the bug by bringing other sources of healing/regen up to the same level.
Xayah
Q attack lockout now scales down with attack speed.
After last patch’s changes, we figured we could make Xayah feel a little bit smoother to play as the game progresses.
Q - Double Daggers
FEASTAttack lockout now scales down with attack speed.
Audio Updates
You’re not hearing things! ...well, technically you are, but…. Yeah! Audio updates!
ALISTARAlistar’s basic attack and ability audio has been updated for all skins without skin-specific audio effects!
CHO’GATHCho’Gath’s basic attack and ability audio has been updated for all skins without skin-specific audio effects!
Items
Abyssal Mask
Now builds from Catalyst of Aeons instead of Spectre Cowl.
(We’re leading in with a bunch of words about stuff that’s not Abyssal Mask, but trust us, we’re going somewhere with it.)
Doran’s Ring stacking had created an unhealthy pattern in lane; waveclear from a distance, get all of your mana back, repeat. However, its removal leaves some tanks feeling like they don’t have items that support their laning patterns at all. Catalyst of Aeons is a solid paradigm for in-lane sustain, but tanks don’t feel great about the items it builds into, especially now that Righteous Glory no longer builds out of it.
So that’s one side of things. On the other hand, Abyssal Mask had been underperforming, and we were looking for ways to make it a more palatable item. And that leads us to our changes. Abyssal Mask’s passive is a natural fit for tanks. Tanks need an item that builds out of Catalyst of the Aeons, and we just put the two ideas together to make the new Abyssal Mask.
BUILD PATHSpectre's Cowl + Negatron Cloak + 880 gold (2800 total gold) ⇒ Catalyst of Aeons + Negatron Cloak + 1080 gold (2900 total gold)
[REMOVED] HEALTH REGENNo longer gives +100% base health regen
HEALTH300 ⇒ 350
NEWMANA300
MAGIC RESIST65 ⇒ 55
NEWUNIQUE PASSIVE - ETERNITY15% of damage taken from champions is gained as mana. Spending mana restores 20% of the cost as health, up to 25 per spell cast.
Adaptive Helm
Health increased.
Adaptive Helm isn’t quite providing the raw oomph it need to be a competitive defensive item, so we’re buffing the tankiness it provides just a bit.
HEALTH300 ⇒ 350
Ancient Coin
Coin rewards increased.
The Coin line is underperforming to a pretty significant degree. Hence, buffs.
GOLD COIN REWARD20 gold ⇒ 25 gold
MANA COIN REWARD8% missing mana ⇒ 15% missing mana
Nomad's Medallion, Talisman of Ascension & Eye of the Oasis
GOLD COIN REWARD30 gold ⇒ 40 gold
MANA COIN REWARD8% missing mana ⇒ 15% missing mana
Jungle Items
Cinderhulk is lagging behind the other jungle items at the moment, so we made some changes to jungle upgrades and Bami Cinder to help smooth out clearspeed - especially early on - for tank junglers.
Jungle Item Mana Regeneration
Unlike fighters, tanks don’t clear very well when they rely on just their auto-attacks. Moreover, their lower damage means many camps simply take longer for them to clear than damage-building junglers. We want to smooth out that difference a little bit, so we’re giving junglers more mana to work with.
Tracker’s Knife, Stalker’s Blade & Skirmisher’s Sabre
BASE MANA REGEN IN JUNGLE+180% ⇒ +225%
Enchantment: Runic Echoes
With more mana on all junglers, the mage enchantment doesn’t need to provide quite so much mana on its own.
MANA RESTORE ON PROC18% missing mana ⇒ 15% missing mana
Bami's Cinder
Cost decreased. Health decreased. Monster damage increased.
Tanks don’t have a very smooth item progression in the jungle. If they have a good first gank and a solid clear, they sometimes back with enough gold to pick up Bami’s Cinder. But most of the time, they’re stuck sitting on a Ruby Crystal while other junglers get to keep picking up small components (aka Long Swords for days).
Worse, health doesn’t do anything for clear speed, so while tanks are trying to farm Cinderhulk, everybody else around them is already farming more quickly - thanks to those aforementioned small components. On top of that, Bami’s Cinder’s monster damage isn’t very powerful, which only amplifies the problem.
HEALTH280 ⇒ 200
BUILD PATHRuby Crystal + 700 gold (1100 total gold) ⇒ Ruby Crystal + 500 gold (900 total gold)
BONUS DAMAGE TO NON-CHAMPIONS50% ⇒ 100%
Enchantment: Cinderhulk
Total cost down. Health down. Bonus Health scaling up. Breakeven point is 1500 bonus health.
HEALTH400 ⇒ 325
BUILD PATHJungle Item + Bami’s Cinder + 525 gold (2625 total gold) ⇒Jungle Item + Bami’s Cinder + 525 gold (2425 total gold)

Rift Herald
Herald should be immediately more rewarding to the individual who kills her.
REWARD25 gold ⇒ 100 gold
Rotating Game Mode
Legend of the Poro King returns from 6/30/17 12:00 PT - 7/04/17 04:00 PT and 7/07/17 12:00 PT - 7/11/17 04:00 PT. Pelt your enemies in a grand snowball fight on the Howling Abyss to summon the resplendent Poro King.
TL;DR:
- Use Poro Toss to bowl your friendly poro across the map. If it hits a target, activate Poro Dash to dart toward your opponent.
- Once a team lands 10 Poro Tosses against enemy champions, the Poro King is summoned. Any ally can join His Royal Highness’s side by activating To The King!
- Until defeated, the Poro King heals you, boosts your mana regeneration, and helps siege enemy towers with his majestic poro-splosions.
- Thank the Poro King for his assistance (and boost his power) by feeding him Poro Snax.
May you always bowl straight and true, and may you be fast-footed to avoid those fluffballs.
