Nexus Blitz: Champion Buffs and Nerfs in Season 13

Major Champion Changes (Buffs and Nerfs) in Nexus Blitz

In Riot Games’ “newest” game mode, Nexus Blitz, which is coming out this patch, there is a large variety of buffs and nerfs to many of the champions in the game. Some changes are minor, while other champions’ abilities are somewhat adjusted. For instance, cooldown changes and different interactions for a champion’s abilities.

In this Mobalytics article, we will list all of the current buffs and nerfs heading into Nexus Blitz before it is released. As this is a pre-release article, the numbers may not be 100% accurate, but they are at the time of writing. If you want to see up-to-date data, head over to the Nexus Blitz section of the Mobalytics site.
