by As MSI approaches, there’s a new round of League of Legends patch notes to sink your teeth into – literally, as MOBA’s beloved Cats vs Dogs skin line has made a comeback after the April 1st. If you take Nidalee’s skin, you’ll likely get a chance to put it to good use, as meta junglers Lee Sin, Sejuani, and Vi take the nerf hammer to the face in 13.7.
Lee Sin, Sejuani and Vi are all nerfed
I would be lying if I said that writing this did not give me a terrible feeling of satisfaction. All three junglers have dominated the meta – especially in pro play – and, as a result, are downed a few stakes ahead of MSI.
Lee Sin’s base attack damage and armor have been knocked down a few points each, and Vi has been moved to AD to negate his build tank elements, but dealing huge amounts of damage.
Sejuani’s Arctic Assault (Q) and Glacial Prison (R) now also have longer cooldowns, and her passive’s damage cap has been reduced to prevent her from easily defeating epic mobs like drakes and the baron.

League of Legends patch 13.7 skins
The following skins and chromas will be released in this patch:
- Kled croquettes
- Kittalee
- Shiba Yuumi
- Woof Family and Lamb
The full patch notes can be found on the League of Legends website, but they’re quite lengthy, so be prepared to read them.
While Cat vs Dog skins aren’t for me – luckily I won’t need to check how much I’ve spent on League of Legends this month – these jungle changes (especially Lee Sin’s) absolutely are. Hopefully, this will knock some of the more meta-junglers on the League of Legends tier list upside down a bit and allow some new faces to rise to the top, especially Evelynn. I love Evelyn.
