Hey Summoners! Patch 3.13 has been out for close to a week and some ample time for a patch overview. Like always, I looked at general data, forum threads, and opinions ranging from gold to diamond players for Summoner’s Rift.
Ungodly Strong
Kassadin: They changed him up a bit and while they aimed to tone down his laning phase, he can still full combo someone and slip out. He's still very strong and a worthy ban, so keep watching out for him.
Sivir: It may just be that people aren't used to her, but Sivir has a very high win rate currently and only some minor weaknesses. She team fights well, shoves lane very hard. The update was very kind to Sivir!
Very Strong
Fizz: Despite the nerf on his Sea-Stone Trident, he is still strong at assassinating champions and a strong pick.
Gragas: Very easy to use for sieges, clears waves very fast, and has some great displacement and damage. Strong mage that can roam around in a still assassin heavy meta.
Annie: Support or mage, she is easy to use, and has some very strong burst and utility with her potential to AoE stun.
Zyra: Despite some range and damage nerfs, she still brings a lot of utility in her kit. Still a great pick as a support.
Jinx: Despite receiving some nerfs, she is still very strong, kills tower with ease, and dishes out incredible amounts of damage. Her poke is very strong too still. Can't overlook her just yet!
Strong
Corki: The nerfs did hurt him, and a lot of people have started to choose other ADCs instead of him. He's still decent, but the nerfs are showing on him.
Zed: With the changes to his shadows, he relies on more skill than before. He will see less play and will be less easy to use, but he still contains a high skill ceiling. Can't overlook him yet either.
Ahri: Much of her damage is tied to her Charm now. She can still full combo with DFG and Charm, but now it has to land. Still strong, but not as overwhelming as before.
On the Rise
Syndra: Some small changes and people have started to experiment on her. She's starting to see some play and a very good Syndra can easily zero a squishy in no time.
Olaf: The small buffs have helped him somewhat. He's still fairly niche in his pick, but he's getting stronger.
Ziggs: Some quality of life changes and he's rising up! He sieges towers well, and he can clear even faster than before. Definitely another mage to put on the radar.
