League of Legends 13.8 Patch Notes and Latest Updates

League of Legends
In 2009, Riot Games developed and launched League of Legends (LoL), also referred to as League, as a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game. The inspiration behind creating this standalone game in the MOBA genre came from the Warcraft III custom map called Defence of the Ancients. Since its release in October 2009, League has been a free-to-play game, generating revenue through the sale of customizable character skins.
It is compatible with both macOS and Microsoft Windows operating systems.In the game, there are two teams of five players each, and they engage in player-versus-player combat while defending and occupying their respective halves of the battlefield. A figure known as a "champion" that each of the ten players controls has special skills and a different playing style.

League of Legends 13.8 Patch Notes: Items
COSMIC DRIVE
The Cosmic Drive stat shuffle made the item a bit more popular. This change aims to lower the barrier to entry of the passive portion of the item and make it more broadly accessible to mages by removing the old passive and replacing it with a new one. By moving the passive AP into the base stats of the item, the skill test of this item is being reduced so players aren’t burdened as much about sequencing their abilities for the offensive payoff of the item.
