LoL Patch 13.24 – What changes are coming?
Patch 13.23 welcomed a small list of changes, with the main goal of nerfing some of the outliers of the meta and buffing some of the least popular champions. Having said that, the most notable changes come from the turret gold change, as it will give boost the economy of the champion taking down the objective rather than splitting the gold across the team. It may not be impactful at first sight but it may push certain duelists back into the meta. We’ll have to monitor how the meta shakes up in the next two weeks.
For Patch 13.24, instead, there are a lot of big updates. We should able to get a first taste of the newest champion, Hwei, as well as the return of LoL Arena, as promised by Riot Games. Regarding changes coming to Summoners’ Rift, it’s likely that we will only get a few tweaks here and there before the new pre-season kicks off, which is going to be in January with Patch 14.1.
Riot Phroxzon pushed out the tentative list of champions for the patch. He explained they are looking to make improvements to champions that will persist with the new item changes, fixing champion role skews, QoL improvements, reshaping power budgets, and feel improvements. Below you can find the number changes leaked by Spideraxe.

Patch 13.24 Release Date
According to the official patch schedule, Patch 13.24 will be released on Wednesday, December 6. This will be the last patch of season 13. After that, there will be around one month of waiting to see the new season.
How will the upcoming patch impact the meta?
Given that we haven’t made many changes to the list, it’s still unclear how the meta will shape up. For now, there are only a few experimental Vel’Koz changes that have been revealed by Riot August on X.
