Riot is going to be making some key adjustments in LoL Patch 13.15, not only to champions, but also systems for their new game mode Arena. Will this create a shift in the meta?

LoL Patch 13.15 is going to be releasing soon and while we will still get a hotfix for the current patch with some major Arena nerfs, there are even more changes in store for the fun new game mode.

Riot have just revealed what they're planning for LoL Patch 13.15 for Arena. Sure, we don't have a full change list of champion nerfs and buffs, but at least we know what systems the balance team is targeting and we can prepare our key picks accordingly, right? Right.

LoL Patch 13.15: Major Adjustments To Fire Ring

Now if there is one thing we wish would be added is a random spawn point of the fire ring. Is it being added in LoL Patch 13.15? Unfortunately not yet. Instead, Riot will be making some more changes to the fire ring. One of those is that summons and pets are going to be taking damage in the fire.

Sorry all of you Heimerdinger one-trick Arena players. Those awful and annoying turrets killing others from outside the safe zone? Yeah, they're finally gone from existence. This will also mean that the Maiden, as well we Tibbers, can take damage in the patch update.

Not only will pets and summons be affected by the fire, but there are also some planned changes to champions in the fire as well. The ring is going to apply Grievous Wounds, meaning that you can't heal yourself either once you've been touched by the fire. RIP.

This will truly mean that death is imminent once the flames close in on you during a fierce 2v2 battle. A single misstep could mean that you won't regenerate any health, or far less, and you're one step closer to losing this round.

This is going to make Arena even more competitive and could open up the door to more variations for players. Let's hope that we can finally get rid of Heimer and other annoying champs.
