League of Legends patch 13.15 - Release date, patch notes, and new skins

With the Soul Fighter event in its second phase League of Legends patch 13.15 also brings with it a big number of champion balance changes. The last patch introduced a bunch of buffs that Riot is now going back on by adjusting and nerfing champions like Aatrox.

Tanks like Maokai and Sejuani, who had been dominating the meta, will also receive some nerfs alongside a major change to Smite. Naafiri was on the change list but ended up being removed near the end. We also get our second batch of Soul Fighter Skins to look forward to. So keep on reading and learn everything League of Legends patch 13.15 has in store.
