League of Legends Patch 13.5: Champion Pricing Update

• New champions will still be released at 7800 BE and 975 RP, and after a week they’ll be dropped to 6300 BE and 975 RP, and after seeing 2 seasons of play they will be dropped into one of the corresponding price tiers:
• 450 BE / 260 RP: Champions that are awesome for new players. These have a strong fantasy and an approachable kit that our data suggests helps folks find success early. Examples include Malphite, Miss Fortune, and Yuumi.
• 1350 BE / 585 RP: Champions that are a bit more complex than the lower tier, but still approachable for interested folks. These will have more nuanced skill checks in their play patterns, but maintain reasonable skill floors and have proven to be fan favorites. Examples include Yasuo, Lucian, and Sett.
• 3150 BE / 790 RP: Champions that have a larger degree of difficulty or specialization in their play. These will often have steeper learning curves to climb before one sees consistent success with them. Examples include LeBlanc, Shaco, and Yorick.
• 4444 BE / 880 RP: Only perfection and beauty are allowed at this tier. HAHAHAHA.
• 4800 BE / 880 RP: The majority of the roster will live here.
• 6300 BE / 975 RP: Champions that have come out in the past two seasons, after which they will move to the tier above after the next season starts.
• 7800 BE / 975 RP: Champions that have come out in the past week.

League of Legends Patch 13.5: Behavioral Systems

• AFK Timeout: There will now be a 1-minute queue delay penalty for all players that AFK or leave games.
• No More Immunity: Fixed a bug where sometimes frequent leavers would not get a penalty. 

League of Legends Patch 13.5: 32 Bit Client Depreciation

• Support for 32-bit Windows OS will be deprecated on April 4, 2023. After this date a 64-bit version of Windows will be required to play League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics. For more details, please see our minimum spec requirements.

• “What does this mean?”, “Do I need to do anything?!”

• • Well for those who are already on 64-bit operating systems and hardware (which is 99.9% of players) you won’t notice a difference when we stop supporting 32-bit and you won’t need to do anything. However, for those that are playing on a 32-bit operating system, starting in 13.7 you’ll start to get a message in the client telling you that the client may stop working in the future for you. We’re giving some time to message this heads up before we fully stop supporting 32-bit operating systems both in the patch notes and in the launcher, but in the future you’ll need to be playing on 64-bit capable hardware, and 64-bit operating systems in order to keep playing League.

• Why is the League team doing this?

• As with other decisions we’ve made in the past like deprecating XP and Vista, continuing to release new content while maintaining older hardware requires significant investment both from a development and a testing standpoint. By removing some of these barriers, we can continue to push the boundaries of new features while delivering engaging player experiences. While we don’t have any direct targeted improvements to communicate to you just yet regarding this migration, it will be something that leads into our continued investments in the future of League.
