League of Legends 13.10 patch notes include buffs to Kindred and Neeko

Riot Games has dropped the patch notes for League of Legends latest 13.10 update, bringing an enormous number of changes to the popular MOBA.

The midseason patch is absolutely massive, which mainly aims to “address a few core issues with League’s current state, namely ADC and Support itemization options, problematic Assassin items and how the early game is played out.” There’s also a a major update to Critical Strike items, and some rebalancing to some items, with a number of items being demoted to legendary status and retuned to fit the new role.

While the patch notes are a little too numerous to go into full detail here, highlights include buffs to Akshan – who’s had a passive AP ratio added to their damage and a Q AP ratio added to their bonus movement speed. Elsewhere, there’s also buffs for Neeko, who’s had her Q and W damage to monsters increased. Kalista, Kindred, and Vayne have also had buffs.

In the way of items, the Critical Strike changes have been made “with the hope of creating a much more open ecosystem of crit items players are excited to buy.” – The biggest change here has come as Riot has demoted Kraken and Shieldbow to legendary status, and has retuned those weapons to fit their new role. They’ve also brought back Statikk Shiv, and upgraded the Navori Quickblades to the Mythic Tier.

Gameplay wise, there’s a bunch of early game adjustments, which Riot say have the goal of “making the laning phase more about victories over your direct laner and less about external influences like junglers or roaming. This includes decreasing the Homeguard Start Time, increasing the Mana Regeneration per tick rate from 2.1% to 3.1% and a major change that will see minion wave speeds adjusted.
