"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

      If Riven is left as one of the only brusiers in the game with no innate armour pen/true dmg/% health dmg then she has to be balanced around not being able to play the game at all against tanks while running over squishies in lane with no counterplay. If you allow some sort of tank busting into her kit, she can be balanced to be more well rounded.

      The only reason Riven is the way she is currently is because Riven is an archaic champion. There is no way a top laner would be released nowadays with no way to fight against champions which build resistances aka most top laners.
