The League of Legends Soul Fighter Summer event’s unique combination of MOBAs and fighting games has captured the attention of gamers all over the world.

In League of Legends Patch 13.14, LoL fans were greeted with the arrival of Naafiri, who quickly struggled on Summoner’s Rift, as well as the addition of the highly popular Arena Game mode.

Now, League of Legends Patch 13.15 is set to reveal another set of updates and balance adjustments that will make the Arena and Summoner’s Rift that much more exciting. While League of Legends and Arena fans should start to build excitement for future updates to the Arena game mode, LoL Patch 13.15 is ready to boast a number of changes to start the month of August.

From nerfs to champions like Sejuani, Maokai, and Kai’Sa, and to buffs to champions in heavy need of love, here is everything you need to know about League of Legends Patch 13.15 in August’s cycle of changes.

Has Naafiri Been Changed In League of Legends Patch 13.15?

While Naafiri was previously slated to receive some adjustments and nerfs to her kit, her struggling win rate on Summoner’s Rift has temporarily protected her from receiving any of the Nerfs Riot Games had intended to implement.

It will be interesting to see if those changes actually take effect in LoL Patch 13.16 or if these planned nerfs will fall through because of Naafiri’s struggling win rate in League of Legends.
