LoL Season 2023 starts out with the first official patch of the year.

Riot is back from the holidays, the preseason is nearly over and you can finally start your ranked climb. As always, there were a lot of changes to the game during the preseason, and the first patch following that. The main focus for LoL patch 13.1 has to be the item changes. Not many in-season patches usually see this many items getting adjusted.

Let’s start out with arguably the most frustrating item of the preseason. Jak’Sho has been not only the best tank item, but it was also the go-to purchase for many of the bruisers in the game. While the problem isn’t just Jak’Sho, it is nice to see Riot reigning in its power before the ranked starts. Another big change is mages getting a lot of love. Both Rod of Ages and Seraph’s are getting big buffs as both items were heavily underutilized during the preseason. The hope is that these buffs will give mages more options than the usual Luden/Liandry build paths.

On the champions side, we got a small midscope update for Jax. According to the Lead Champion Designer on League of Legends, August ‘August’ Browning who published the changes on his Twitter page, the changes are mainly focused on making Jax’s ultimate more exciting and interesting to use for players. In its current state, there is not much thought on a player’s part as to when to use the ultimate or any chance to do anything different with it. With the proposed ultimate changes, players will have the opportunity to choose to either activate their ultimate in a 1-on-1 to get access to more passive procs or hold their ability until they are in the middle of the enemy team to get more value out of the resistances.

The rest of the champion changes are relatively small, mainly getting the champion in line before the ranked and pro-play season start. The main draw among those is probably K’Sante, who has been very popular both in the high elo solo queue and the early pro play tournaments of the year such as Demacia and Weibo Cups.
