League of Legends Patch 13.15 - Kai'sa Nerf, Jungle Adjustments and Arena Champion Changes - TRN Checkpoint

LoL Patch 13.15 is now out is and is sure to bring a hefty amount of changes. Six champions will receive nerfs, while seven are expected to be able to keep up thanks to the buffs. Meanwhile, four champions are going to be adjusted including the tank support, Rell.

Following the impactful nerfs to Zeri, Kai'sa rose to prominence and started running down everyone with her AP build. Her dominance extended beyond just the botlane, spilling over into the midlane as well. Nevertheless, this reign might be short-lived, as Riot intends to temper her power in the upcoming patch. Aside from Kai'sa, champions such as Sejuani and Maokai who have been thriving in the professional scene are also about to face nerfs as well.

On the other side, the second half of Soul Fighter champions is gearing up for their debut. For League of Legends Patch 13.15, new Soul Fighter cameos will appear in addition to Lux, Naafiri, Pyke, Samira and Sett. This exciting arrival also brings along five brand-new skins available for purchase.

Here's every change and addition you should look out for in LoL Patch 13.15.

QoL Change: Increased dash speed before the flip once she's locked onto a target. This should both solve some bugs and make the ability feel quicker and more responsive.
