New Champion: Milio

The upcoming League of Legends patch 13.6, will be the first to feature none other than Milio, the Gentle Flame! As a male enchanter from Ixtal, this fresh LoL character will enliven the bot lane with his heals and protections.

Milio will be incredibly powerful in teamfights thanks to the AoE that some of his skills have. Also, with his Aoe cleanse, his ultimate will be especially effective in big teamfights.

Passive – Fired Up

Milio’s abilities enchant allies on touch, making their next spell or attack deal a burst of extra damage and burn the target.

Q – Ultra Mega Fire Kick

Milio kicks a ball that knocks back an enemy. On hit, the ball bounces behind the target, damaging and slowing enemies in the area upon impact.

W – Cozy Campfire

Create an empowering zone that heals allies and increases Attack Range for those inside. The zone follows the ally nearest to the cast point.

E – Warm Hugs

Milio tosses a shield to an ally, temporarily increasing their movement speed.

R – Breath of Life

Milio unleashes a wave of soothing flames that heal and remove crowd control effects from allies in range.

ARAM Tower Rubble Changes

Tower rubble has not been as well received as Riot had anticipated when patch 12.23 first came out. Riot will as a result alter the ARAM grid in some ways.

Riot Maxw3ll recently tweeted that the best choice is to simply remove tower rubble entirely, which should happen in patch 13.6. The team has been experimenting with various variants of the tower rubble, but none have really worked out.

New Yuumi SFX

Riot will also add two Yuumi skins’ missing SFX. The SFX on Yuumi’s ultimate from her EDG World Championship 2021 skin as well as the E on her Yuubee skins had uncomfortable loud noises when the Yuumi mini-rework was released in patch 13.5.

Because of this, they delivered the update and these skins along with a different SFX. Since Yuumi has undergone a full rework, be prepared for a slight change in her voice once fix 13.6 goes live.

New Skins

Ashen Guardian Shen

With patch 13.6 from Riot, a new Mythic skin will be available. The next Ashen Knight skin for none other than Shen has been unveiled as part of their ongoing Ashen Knight theme.

Riot did a fairly awesome job with the unveiling of this new mythic cosmetic, and it fits perfectly with Shen’s style.

The brand-new Faerie Court skins, which were already unveiled earlier this year, will also be the newest skin line introduced in patch 13.6. The skins are presently being tested on the PBE server and will be released by Riot alongside Milio in patch 13.6.

March 22, 2023 will see the introduction of Patch 13.6. The skins and Milio will likely be in the client a day after, so expect everything from buffs and nerfs, as well as champion and skin changes to reach the rift by Match 23, 2023.
