Ever since the start of the new League of Legends season, Riot Games has been pushing out consecutive patches loaded with both system, champion, and item changes. The devs’ entire philosophy and approach have completely changed from season 12 after seeing a stale competitive and highly bot-centric meta going into 2023.
After bringing major updates to ADCs and the fighter class, as well as pushing engage supports back into the meta, Riot is trying to nerf the power of early-game junglers in the latest Patch 13.4. By nerfing the experience champions can get during the early levels, the balance team is hoping to reduce the potential snowball from these champions.
