What is the LoL 13.4 Patch release date?
The LoL 13.4 patch releases on Thursday, February 23, 2022.
Players can expect the update to be live in-game after a three-hour maintenance which will have the game's servers going down from 6:00 a.m. EST to 9:00 a.m. EST.
Once the patch is playable, there will be tons of changes for players to play and test out. These include buffs, nerfs, and changes to around 20 champions in total, changes to various support items such as Doran's Shield, Spellthief's Edge, and more.
Additionally, the aforementioned range versus melee support balancing will be implemented, and the same can be said for optimal jungle pathing, and early snowballing.
Releasing as a part of patch 13.4 will be a total of five brand-new skins, all additions to the fan-favorite Astronaut skin line. Champions such as Fizz, Ivern, Kennen, Xerath, and Singed will be joining all of their Astronaut comrades in a space adventure, donning their spacesuits and space helmets, topped off with retro-futuristic visuals with matching sound effects to boot.
