Jax and Rell to Receive Updates in 2023
Riot Games announced today that Jax and Rell, two champions from League of Legends, will be receiving mid-scope updates in the near future. Discussions about updating these champions have been ongoing, and now it seems that changes are finally on the horizon.
Lead champion designer August Browning confirmed on Twitter that he is working on the update for Jax alongside Daniel “Maxw3ll” Emmons, who recently contributed to the development of K’Sante. Stephen “Raptorr” Auker is currently working on Rell’s update.
Browning mentioned that the changes to Jax will be relatively minor, with a focus on improving the feel of his ultimate ability.
Details of Rell’s rework were leaked last month, suggesting that many of her abilities will be tweaked, and some moves may even switch their positions on the keyboard. Her ultimate will become her E skill, while her W skill will become her new ultimate. Changes to her passive and her interactions with bonded champions are also expected.
It’s worth noting that Neeko will also receive a mid-scope update early next year. The update for Neeko was initially teased in August, and Riot assures players that she has not been forgotten.
Jax and Rell’s updates are scheduled for release sometime in 2023, but an exact launch date has not been provided.
