League of Legends Patch 12.13: Nilah, Sivir and Master Yi Changes

League of Legends Patch 12.13 introduces Nilah, The Joy Unbound. Coming with her is the mid-scope update for Sivir, as well as some pretty big changes for Master Yi, Taliyah, and multiple AP junglers.

Only a little over a day after the patch went live, Master Yi, Gwen, and Sivir already received hot fixes that took them down a peg. Riot Lead Designer Matt “Riot Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison provided a little context for the changes:

For Gwen and Sivir, the changelists were hard to predict and we're following up accordingly after their strong launches. W duration impact and E CD early being the main nerfs for Gwen and Sivir list being a lot of directionally good changes with just a lot of moving parts.

Sivir

Dev note: Sivir has been dethroned as the queen of late-game teamfights. Her short range meant she had to work twice as hard as other ADCs to do damage, which led to her opting for lethality builds instead of crit. While other marksmen have gained attack range over time, we are giving Sivir new tools that lean into her strengths as a close range, AoE DPS hyper carry that reward her for playing on the edge of danger.

With this mid-scope update, we’re setting Sivir up to have the strongest AoE DPS output of all the marksmen—so long as she can stay alive to use it. We’re hoping Sivir players find that her damage potential is now much higher and more consistent due to the adjustments we’ve made to her Ricochet and signature Boomerang Blade. Ultimately, these should help shift Sivir's identity from a chauffeur for her teammates to a high damage AoE marksman with the added ability to help clean up winning fights.
