League of Legends Patch 13.7: The short version
If you want the cliff notes of the new patch, here are the basics. The full details are below in the full patch notes, but if you just want an idea of what is changing, here you go.
Annie, Lee Sin, Olaf, Rammus, Sejuani, Veigar, Vi, Wukong, and Zeri are seeing nerfs in this patch. For the most part these are targeting high-level players, specifically junglers, to address some balance issues in pro play.
Alistar, Azir, Graves, Kalista, Katarina, and Yasuo are each getting buffed. Kha-zix is getting some changes to improve variability in his builds, and Thresh is having his Q refund decreased to give opponents a better chance of not getting CC'd into oblivion.
There are new skins coming for Kled, Kindred, Kittalee, and Yuumi. Also, support for the 32-bit version of League of Legends will come to an end with this patch, meaning any players still playing on a 32-bit operating system will need to move up to a 64-bit system.

- TR1 – 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm local time
- SG2 – 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm local time
- Off Screen Pings
- Paying attention to the minimap to see your teammates’ pings while focusing on gameplay can be difficult. And actively aiming/dodging a skillshot can make this even more challenging. To help, we are introducing off-screen pings to give you easier visibility of your teammates’ pings. Some pings that are off-screen will now show up on the edge of your screen, and our hope is that this allows players to be able to react to pings faster than before.
- Global Pings
- Enemy missing
- Proximity Pings (Displayed if pinged within 3000 units of your champion. Approximately the same range as a Caitlyn or Lux ultimate ability)
- Assist Me
- Caution
- On My Way
- Retreat
- Hold
- (Displayed regardless of ping location)
- Behavioral Systems
- We're rolling out improvements to our disruptive behavior detection systems that detect verbal abuse and intentional feeding. That means you'll see increased actions taken against players for these behaviors in-game.
- Challenges
- You can now see your friend’s challenge data on their profile card!
- Bugfixes
- Fixed a bug where a Clash team could not re-invite a player who was kicked out of the team, and the player would not be able to accept the invite if it was made. Now, Clash players can re-invite a kicked player after a certain period of time, and the player is able to accept the invitation.
- Fixed a bug where the Best of the Best Challenge does not increase the progress after the player finished a season at Rank 1 for Solo/Duo queues.
- Competitive
- We’ve tested lower surrender timers in normals for several patches now, and the impacts have met our expectations: slightly increased surrender frequency leading to slightly lower average game times. We believe this change is right to allow teams more agency in choosing which matches to play out.
- In Ranked Solo and Ranked Flex queues, normal surrender (4 out of 5 OR 70% of team members must agree to pass the vote) is available at 20 minutes ? 15 minutes. Unanimous early surrender requirement has been removed. This change will go live around ~7pm UTC on April 7.
- We’ll be running an experiment in Normal Draft in EUN, OC, and RU during the 13.7 patch cycle, specifically to test some of our functionality around matchmaking for the upcoming Quick Play queue type. For these regions during the testing window, the changes will be as follows:
- Autofill is removed.
- All players in a party must choose unique primary assignments.
- If a player chooses a priority role as their primary assignment, they do not need to pick a secondary assignment. If they choose a non-priority role as their primary assignment, they can only choose a priority role or fill as their secondary assignment.
- 32 Bit Client Deprecation
- Support for 32-bit Windows OS will be deprecated on April 4, 2023. After this date a 64-bit version of Windows will be required to play League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. For more details, please see our minimum spec requirements.
- “What does this mean?”, “Do I need to do anything?!”
- Well for those who are already on 64-bit operating systems and hardware (which is 99.9% of players) you won’t notice a difference when we stop supporting 32-bit and you won’t need to do anything. However, for those that are playing on a 32-bit operating system, starting this patch you’ll receive a message in the client telling you that the client may stop working in the future for you. We’re giving some time to message this heads-up before we fully stop supporting 32-bit operating systems both in the patch notes and in the launcher. In the future, you’ll need to be playing on 64-bit capable hardware, and 64-bit operating systems in order to keep playing League.
- Why is the League team doing this?
- As with other decisions we’ve made in the past like deprecating Windows XP and Vista, continuing to release new content while maintaining older hardware requires significant investment both from a development and a testing standpoint. By removing some of these barriers, we can continue to push the boundaries of new features while delivering engaging player experiences. While we don’t have any direct targeted improvements to communicate to you just yet regarding this migration, it will be something that leads into our continued investments in the future of League.
- Showcase Milestones Autoclaim
- We’re happy to share that Showcase Milestones will now have an autoclaim feature that will run after each Showcase ends, starting with Broken Covenant. After the Broken Covenant Showcase ends on March 30th, the autoclaim tool will run on April 1 to grant any rewards you may have forgotten or didn’t have time to claim. In addition, if there were Showcase rewards you forgot to claim in the past (Eclipse Knights, Ocean Song, Space Groove), we will also be running the autoclaim for those rewards around the same time as Broken Covenant. This process will also persist for future Showcases. As with any new feature, we will be monitoring the accuracy and performance, so we’d like to advise that you still claim your rewards prior to the Showcase ending as the default behavior in order to avoid any errors in the near term.
- NOTE: This does not apply to Masterwork Milestones since that track does not deactivate or expire. This also does not apply to the Event Pass Milestones since you are required to claim and use the Event Tokens prior to the Event Shop closing.
