Patch 9.13 is nearly ready to go to the live servers, so the PBE server is getting its final update to test all the new balance changes. Patch 9.13 will bring a lot of content, considering we will get to play the new game mode Teamfight Tactics and Qiyana will also be introduced in the game.
You can check out more about Teamfight Tactics on this page, and about Qiyana here.
Now before we get to see the latest balance changes in 9.13 PBE, bear in mind that these are still subject to change, if something goes wrong today during the final tests. We will be back with a longer article and include all the final balance changes in 9.13 PBE on Monday, to show you what you should expect from the new patch. Check out our League of Legends page to see more news, updates, and some tips!
The following balance changes only include the latest changes in the past two days – more champions are getting tweaked (like Wukong, Malphite and Akali) – we’ve covered them in the 9.13 PBE page.
Illaoi
We’ve added Illaoi above our NERFS and BUFFS lists because she gets a few things added/removed. Here’s the final Illaoi list that will make it to Live, as LoLSotere said in his recent Tweet:

Teemo Update from Riot Jag
In a short update from Riot Jag, we found out what’s up with those Teemo changes we’ve heard for the past few months:
“After a lot of feedback from players, we’re going to pull out the changes. Some Teemo players liked them, some hated them, and we weren’t comfortable shipping something without the entire playerbase being happy about it. I’m looking into a few small QoL changes we could try as a follow-up in the near future.”
Teamfight Tactics PBE Update
Thanks to Riot August, we got a changelist of balance changes for the following champions in TFT:
