Preparations for the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), have begun and the developers over at Riot want to hunker down on the meta. The best way to do that is with the release of the LoL 13.7 patch.
Although this patch won't have a brand-new champion, like 13.6's Milio, players can expect a huge host of champions to be buffed, nerfed, or adjusted. From Katarina, Kalista, and Graves to the likes of Veigar and Annie, it'll be a wide swath of changes.
That being said, here's everything to know about LoL 13.7, including its release date, patch notes, skins, and more.
LoL 13.6 Release Date
Adhering to the League of Legends patch schedule for Season 13, LoL 13.7 is set to release on Wednesday, April 5, 2023.
Once the patch is live, players will be able to enjoy numerous new skins, the new event, as well as plenty of buffs, nerfs, and overall changes from its patch notes.
