LoL Patch 13.11 is already looking juicy with a bunch of champion updates, as well as some brand-new skins that fans have been awaiting for a long time.
LoL Patch 13.11 is going to be pretty interesting. Of course, we're going to have a lot of balance changes after the midseason update in LoL Patch 13.10, but Riot is also going to release two champion Mid-Scope Updates along with the long-awaited DRX World Championship skins.
So, let's go over all the buffs and nerfs and look into the midseason and the effects it had on our favorite League of Legends champions.

W - Feromancy: Crash Down/Mount Up
These changes to her W will improve her dismounted form greatly. Rell has been struggling when she dismounts due to her slow attack and movement speed, but these changes should help her in any fight and maker her dismounted form feel much better.

E - Full Tilt
This is a brand-new ability with her old E being taken out of the game completely.
Thanks to the new E, Rell will truly be able to call the shots of any engage. She, and her allies, can storm into a fight, then use the rest of her kit to CC enemies or break their shields.

R - Magnet Storm
Magnet Storm did not receive any changes in the Rell Mid-Scope Update. The only thing Riot added is that Rell can now apply her passive and gain a stack through it, which had not been part of the ability beforehand.
