LoL 13.21 Patch Notes: Nexus Blitz, K'Sante Buffs & More

League of Legends' previous patch brought some major changes. Patch 13.20 was a bit messy at launch, but it made big changes to runes, starting items, several champions, and more. It's likely the biggest patch we'll see until Season 14 launches. LoL 13.21's patch notes aren't as extensive, but it's a patch that stands out for bringing back Nexus Blitz along with some major balance changes.
