"13.23 Preview!

Turret Gold: We’re making some changes to inner and inhibitor tower gold to give a higher share of the gold as local gold. Given snowballing is at one of the lowest levels right now, we think this will help put it in a more correct spot, while favoring roles like top lane that spend more time in the side lanes.

Janna: Our changes last patch were directionally accurate, but she landed a little underpowered

Riven: As we were chatting about yesterday, we think Riven is a bit weak. Buffing her up a little, while keeping the door open for more long term directional work

Trundle: Trundle has been out of the meta for a while. These buffs are targeted at also bringing back trundle top who we think is a counter to tanks that should be viable in some capacity

Velkoz: he’s looking a little weak in both supp and mid, so we’re throwing him a bone

Briar: As briar continues to grow in the learning curve, we’re tapping her down accordingly. Her growth patch over patch is slowing down however.

K’Sante: Ksante is too strong, we’re targeting specifically his level 6 power spike, but we’re happy directionally with how the reshape went, he’s just OP

Naafiri: Naafiri is overpowered, especially in regular play so we’re tapping her down a bit

Nocturne: we’re actually not nerfing nocturne, but nerfing Jarvan instead 😅 he’s been a bit strong for quite a while even with the previous nerf, so we’re nerfing him again" - https://twitter.com/RiotPhroxzon/status/1724281626761515259

    Phreak said that K’Sante was in a fine spot because the changes successfully lowered his high elo skew and made him more accessible for most players. And in low elo he is pretty balanced, but he’s 52-53% in masters+. I don’t understand these complaints, K’Sante is getting nerfed 2 patches after he was gigabuffed. Orianna isn’t getting nerfed after 6 patches.

      Even if K’Sante is 50% winrate in Masters+, he will be 100% pick ban in pro play.

      The champion will 100% get nerfed massively the second pro play starts again.

        I am not sure about that. His mini rework on paper fcked up lots of interactions that proplay loved. TapW, flash+Q3 and Q3 after ult were pretty big deal. On top of that under R he deals less damage now and has less reliable cc, so proplay adc actually can survive his kidnapping (or at least have bigger window to get saved).

          His kit is still nuts. It has everything you need. That’s the main issue. As long as he remains that versatile, his numbers will need to be terrible.
