Lunar Revel

League of Legends third scheduled update of 2023 (and season 13) comes in the form of patch 13.3, which will arrive at the end of January.

In the last patch, update 13.1, a number of champions were hit with nerfs and some items adjusted to fit the start of the new season. Patch 13.2 has ultimately been abandoned, instead replaced with 13.1b.

With the new season underway, this next patch will aim to adjust any hiccups that are still present in the current season including some champions who have been overdue changes.

Here’s what’s new in update 13.3 for LoL.

Release Date

Patch update 13.3 will arrive on Wednesday 8th of February 2022.

Here’s roughly when you can expect the update to roll out:

  • 3 am PT (NA servers)
  • 5 am GMT (EUW servers)
  • 3 am CET (EUNE servers)
