League of Legends PBE Patch 13.18: Upcoming Adjustments, Buffs, and Nerfs

by

The League of Legends PBE patch 13.18 cycle is approaching, and Riot Games plans to implement various changes on the test server for evaluation before including them in the official update. Notable highlights include adjustments coming to Briar, along with buffs for champions like Thresh, Senna, and Gwen. However, Xayah, Rell, and Kayn will face nerfs, while Statikk Shiv’s wave-clear capabilities are being adjusted. Keep in mind that these changes are tentative and may not fully represent the official patch coming next week.

The League of Legends PBE serves as the testing ground, allowing Riot Games to fine-tune new changes before their official release in patch 13.18, expected on September 13, 2023.
