The League of Legends 13.15 patch notes have been released, unveiling a plethora of updates and changes that ride the hype from the massive 13.14 patch, which introduced the Soul Fighter summer event and the fan-favourite 2v2v2 Arena game mode.
In addition to exciting additions and balance adjustments coming to the summertime game mode, the patch includes the usual champion updates, featuring seven buffs, six nerfs, and four hefty adjustments. Additionally, changes have been made to items and Summoner Spells, most notably to Smite and its interaction with pet summons.

League of Legends 13.15 patch notes highlights
In this 13.15 patch, Maokai and Sejuani, who have long dominated the jungle in pro play, are hit with the nerf hammer to reduce the polarising effect they've had on the pro play meta. Maokai's clear speed has taken a hit, while Sejuani is receiving a blow to her W base damage.
Balancing the jungle role has been notoriously difficult for Riot, and in this patch, a slight adjustment to the Summoner Spell Smite arrives on the Rift. This time, Smite will be getting an improved and sensible interaction with pet summon ultimates.
Aatrox and Kai'Sa have also received nerfs due to their dominance in their respective lanes. With these nerfs, Riot hopes to level the playing field and give players more options when it comes to champion selection.
Alongside the usual champion nerfs and buffs, Soul Fighter is set to reach new heights with the addition of Evelynn, Gwen, Jhin, Shaco, and Viego to the roster. These champions will also be getting their own Soul Fighter skins, with Shaco receiving a Prestige edition skin.
