Following a League of Legends Season 12 where eight total champions like Rengar, Taliyah, Olaf, and most recently, Syndra, underwent mid-scope updates of their own, Riot Games has announced that Rell and Jax are next in line for changes.
The developers also added that they "haven't forgotten about Neeko" either and that she will be ready "early next year" after the champion had her mid-scope update delayed due to Season 13's release.

Jax and Rell Mid-Scope Updates are next in line for Season 13
As confirmed by Lead Champion Designer at Riot Games August Browning on Twitter, the developer stated that Riot now has "mid-scope updates in flight for Jax and Rell."
Browning will be working on the Jax mid-scope update alongside Daniel “Maxw3ll” Emmons, who most helped create K'Sante, League of Legends' newest champion. Rell will be worked on by League of Legends Champions Design Manager, Stepehn "Raptorr" Auken.
When it comes to what the updates entail, Riot expects the changes coming to Jax to be minor as they will be "mostly focused on the feel of his ult," according to Browning. For Rell, on the other hand, that might not be the case.
Initially, in May of 2022, Riot stated that the Iron Maiden initially "missed the mark" when she was first released, in response to that, they are aiming to "potentially smooth out some of [her] issues with an update."
Following that statement, in November of the same year, detailed leaks on the Rell Mains subreddit suggested what Rell's mid-scope update could look like, even handing out full descriptions of her abilities post-change. These included the swapping of abilities, making her ultimate, Magnet Storm, her E, and Ferromancy: Crash Down (W), her new ultimate, in addition to changes to her passive, and more.
There is no official launch date for Jax and Rell's mid-scope updates. However, League of Legends players can expect them to release at some point in 2023 for Season 13.
