League of Legends patch 13.3 prenotes: Massive Kassadin and K’Sante nerfs, Kayne buffs, and more

The League of Legends patch 13.3 prenotes are out, and players can expect many balance changes in the update next week.

While Riot Games is focusing on introducing tweaks to some of the outliers of the current League of Legends meta, nerfs will also be making their way to Kassadin, K’Sante, and early jungle ganks.

There will also be extensive buffs for Kayne and Lee Sin, along with adjustments to Tenacity and Radiant virtue in League of Legends patch 13.3.
