A mini update called Patch 8.13b is releasing for League of Legends that buffs marksmen and Aatrox while toning down some dominant junglers.

Patch 8.13 just dropped nearly a week ago today to release Aatrox back onto the Rift with his new abilities, but Riot Games already has another small-scale update ready for players. That's because Patch 8.13 is a three-week patch as opposed to a two-week one, so the next true patch won't be out until July 18. To bridge the gap between the updates, Riot Games announced a few days ago that a mini-patch would released with some smaller changes.

"To reduce the time between balance adjustments though we'll be doing a mini patch via micropatching halfway through the 8.14 development cycle," Riot Meddler said in an announcement on the League boards. "An 8.13b basically, like we did 7.24b last year before the holidays. Details of what will go in that next week once we've got them figured out, will primarily be needed balance changes that shouldn't have to wait another week and a half until 8.14."

The notes are now up for the patch and are listed below with champions like Caitlyn, Aatrox, and Nocturne featured in the series of changes alongside ADC items like Stormrazor, a crit weapon that now has a new build path. You'll also notice that the Brawler's Glove item has now been brought down to just 400 gold, though Zeal's combine cost went up a bit to account for the difference.
