SR Patch Notes

Check out the Patch 9.19 notes (be sure to check regional editions for slight variations!):
GOOD GRIEF, WE'RE FINALLY HERE. It's the Worlds patch!!

Similar to our philosophy for last year's Worlds patch, we've been making steady changes throughout the last few patches as to not completely throw everything in flux and have the pros invalidate whatever playbooks they've been developing for the most exciting event of the year. More than completely neutralizing top priority picks, we've been working on elevating more champions to competitive viability and are continuing that work in 9.19.

This change process has resulted in smaller buffs or a couple of impactful nerfs across a slew of champions and more pro-focused changes that should even out the scales and create fun, diverse, and impactful picks for the next few weeks of Worlds games.

On to the changes!

Patch Highlights


Championship Ryze, Valiant Sword Riven, Majestic Empress Morgana, and Splendid Staff Nami will be available on September 26, 2019.

Champions



Aatrox

Q minion damage reduction decreased.
We overnerfed Aatrox in 9.18 and are giving back some of the waveclear he lost.

Q - The Darkin Blade

MINION DAMAGE REDUCTION60%  45%

Akali

R2 max damage increased.
We also overnerfed Akali in 9.18. With her ultimate now sufficiently gated, we're returning some of the damage.

R - Perfect Execution

R2 MAXIMUM DAMAGE195/420/645  225/450/645

Annie

E movement speed increased; cooldown now scales.
Following up on the 9.18 changes since we ended up going with a more conservative approach than necessary.

E - Molten Shield

MOVEMENT SPEED25-50.5% (levels 1-18)  30-60% (levels 1-18)
COOLDOWN15 seconds  14/13/12/11/10 seconds

Ashe

Passive slow increased. Q now an auto attack reset.
Increasing Ashe's utility so she can be considered a good pick when a player wants to run down opponents in the early game. In addition, we're returning the full auto attack reset to her Q. We've decided that the minimal gameplay gains weren't worth the adverse effect on the satisfaction of playing Ashe.

Passive - Frost Shot

SLOW15-30% (levels 1-18)  20-30% (levels 1-18)

Q - Ranger's Focus

J>PQ GOT ACNow is an auto attack reset

Blitzcrank

Q range increased. R max stacks increased.
Blitzcrank is the Hook and should always be even as we release other champions who just happen to have hooks in their abilities alongside other things.

Q - Rocket Grab

RANGE1050  1150

R - Static Field

PASSIVE MAX STACKS2 marks  3 marks

Fiora

Q can now hit turrets and wards. E2 can now crit turrets.
Fiora's in an acceptable place when it comes to matchups in lane, but she struggles to convert her lane victories into game victories.

Q - Lunge

TOWER DEFENSECan now hit turrets and wards (will prioritize champion vitals, ultimate targets, champs, dying minions, turrets, and wards, respectively)

E - Bladework

STONEHENGEThe second basic attack can now deal bonus damage to turrets

Gragas

W cooldown increased; damage ratio decreased.
Gragas has been dominating the pro meta for a while, so we're nerfing his clear speed.

W - Drunken Rage

COOLDOWN5 seconds  6 seconds
DAMAGE RATIO8% of target's maximum health  7% of target's maximum health

Graves

Base attack damage increased. Rounding out some other base stats.
We're giving Graves some more reliable power via his base attack damage so he feels generally stronger at all points of a game. Also rounding out some other stats since we're here!

Base Stats

ATTACK DAMAGE66  68
HEALTH551.1  555
MANA322.2  325
MANA REGEN7.9  8

Heimerdinger

Q and R turret AP ratio increased. E stun duration increased.
Buffing Heimerdinger all-around since he's on the weaker side.

Q - H-28G Evolution Turret

BASIC ATTACK RATIO30% ability power  35% ability power

E - CH-2 Electron Storm Grenade

STUN DURATION1.25 seconds  1.5 seconds

R - H28Q Apex Turret

BASIC ATTACK RATIO30% ability power  35% ability power

Karma

Q1 AP ratio decreased.
Nerfing Karma's non-support damage so she isn't so strong as a blind pick generalist. Teams will now have to consider losing a considerable amount of damage if they want to pick her.

Q - Inner Flame

Q1 DAMAGE RATIO60% ability power  40% ability power

Mordekaiser

W shield from damage dealt increased. Spectators can now see champions in the Death Realm as spirits.
Lightly buffing Mordekaiser in a way that might be most felt in pro games.

W - Indestructible

DAMAGE DEALT POTENTIAL SHIELD30% of the damage he deals  35% of the damage he deals

R - Realm of Death

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE?Spectators now see the combatants in the Spooky Realm as appropriately spooky

Orianna

R damage increased.
Orianna is feeling generally weak right now so we're powering up her ultimate for the sweet wombo combos.

R - Command: Shockwave

DAMAGE150/225/300 (+0.7 ability power)  200/275/350 (+0.8 ability power)

Ornn

Free Masterwork upgrades happen earlier.
Making Ornn's unique attributes happen earlier in the game.

Passive - Living Forge

MASTERWORK UPGRADEMasterworks upgrade for free when Ornn reaches level 13  12

Pantheon

Base magic resist decreased. W empowered damage now scales.
More follow-up post release on the stronk man.

Base Stats

MAGIC RESIST32.1  28

W - Shield Vault

EMPOWERED DAMAGEDeals 150% total attack damage over three hits  Deals 135-165% (levels 1-18) total attack damage over three hits

Rek'Sai

Base armor increased. Unburrowed Q now works on turrets.
We're making Rek'Sai's auto attacks work the way players expect them along with some more durability.

Base Stats

ARMOR33  36

Q - Queen's Wrath

FACE MY WRATHRek'Sai's Unburrowed Q now works on turrets

Riven

Q cooldown increased. E cooldown decreased.
Our last few Riven changes didn't hit the results we were looking for, disproportionately weakening the players who are newer to her and don't have the same level of familiarity. We're trying again by reverting back to her pre-9.9 state and adding a simpler nerf to her E instead.

Q - Broken Wings

COOLDOWN12 seconds  13 seconds

E - Valor

COOLDOWN14/13/12/11/10 seconds  12/11/10/9/8 seconds

Sejuani

Passive damage ratio flattened.
Sejuani's damage is very high when considering all of the utility she has, especially in pro play. We're nerfing her dueling power and mid-game damage.

Passive - Fury of the North

ICEBREAKER DAMAGE RATIO10/15/20% of target's maximum health (levels 1, 7, 14)  10% of target's maximum health

Sion

W base shield increased.
Sion is unusually weak in skilled play. We're buffing his on-demand shielding, since this is more helpful in higher-level play.

W - Soul Furnace

BASE SHIELD30/55/80/105/130  50/75/100/125/150

Sylas

Base armor and armor growth decreased. Passive damage ratio adjusted.
One of Sylas' main strengths lies in his generalist kit and high AoE power from his very reliable passive. This combination created no-fail situations which led to Sylas' 3-role, omnipresent, pro flex status.

So basically, we're nerfing him so he's not 100% pick-ban at Worlds.

Base Stats

ARMOR32  28
ARMOR GROWTH3  2.5

Passive - Petricite Burst

DAMAGE RATIO9-60 (levels 1-18) (+1.0 total attack damage)(+0.2 ability power), reduced by 50% for minions that aren't the primary target  (+1.1 total attack damage)(+0.2 ability power) to the primary target, (+0.4 total attack damage)(+0.2 ability power) to everyone else

Tahm Kench

E’s Grey Health heal now scales.
Tahm Kench is one of the best champs for protecting teammates from being picked off by enemies, and he should therefore be more vulnerable to poke.

E - Thick Skin

GREY HEALTH HEAL75% of Grey Health at all ranks  30-100% of Grey Health (levels 1-18)

Twisted Fate

E attack speed increased; base damage increased.
Buffing TF in a way so he's better in the match-ups that favor him, but that preserve his existing vulnerabilities to ranged champions.

E - Stacked Deck

ATTACK SPEED10/15/20/25/30%  20/25/30/35/40%
BASE DAMAGE55/80/105/130/155  65/90/115/140/165

Vayne

R base AD increased.
Vayne is still a tad weak after the last round of buffs, so we’re giving her more late-game power.

R - Final Hour

BONUS ATTACK DAMAGE20/30/40  25/40/55

Veigar

E cooldown decreased later.
Despite Veigar's scaling nature, his contributions to teamfights struggle to keep pace with what's necessary in the late game, so we're buffing the ability that helps out the most in those situations.

E - Event Horizon

COOLDOWN18/17/16/15/14 seconds  18/16.5/15/13.5/12 seconds

Xin Zhao

Passive base heal increased. Q base damage increased later.
Xin could use some love after the Scuttler changes decreased his early game power value so we're helping out.

Passive - Determination

BASE HEAL8-59 (levels 1-18)  10-78 (levels 1-18)

Q - Three Talon Strike

BASE DAMAGE20/25/30/35/40  20/28/36/44/52

Yuumi

Q slow strength now flattened, duration decreased, no longer decays over time.
Yuumi has been a fuzzy menace in the pro scene, so we're nerfing one of the more pro-impacting elements of her kit.

Q - Prowling Projectile

SLOW20/32/44/56/68/80%  20% at all ranks
SLOW DURATION1.5 seconds  1 seconds
CAT NAPSlow no longer decays over time

Zac

Bloblets restore more health.
With more value on his bloblets, Zac should be able to scale better into late game and feel more satisfaction in this unique part of his kit.

R - Let's Bounce!

NEWGREEN POTIONBloblets restore an additional 1/2/3% maximum health

  • Yasuo is no longer able to cast R - Last Breath onto a non-knocked up target who's just been hit with Ornn's R - Call of the Forge God
  • When Taunted or Silenced, Shyvana's Q - Twin Bite's empowered attack properly launches onto the target before being consumed
  • Increased the recast lockout time for Pantheon's E - Aegis Assault so spamming the key doesn't accidentally, almost instantly, cancel the ability

Points of Interest from the 9.19 PBE Cycle

Here's a brief look at many of the new things included in patch 9.19. This coverage includes preview screen shots and video taken during the 9.19 PBE cycle and may vary slightly from what is pushed to live.

Champion Skins

Six new skins will be available sometime in the coming cycles:

Hextech Amumu

10 Gemstones
"A mechanical boy intended as a playmate for wealthy children, Amumu has been long forgotten in the advent of newer and more advanced Hextech innovations. But a child has feelings, and within his artificial mind something has begun to awaken that will change the history of Hextech forever."

Majestic Empress Morgana

1350 RP
"A feared sorceress queen from the heavenly kingdoms, Morgana looked on with disdain as Irelia sealed away the power of a dragon. Crushing her in combat, Morgana soon realized the young demigoddess had hidden that power away, and now ruthlessly searches for a way to return it to its rightful owner."

Splendid Staff Nami

1350 RP
"When the demigoddess Irelia was bested by a heavenly empress, the seal over Talon's draconic power began to weaken... allowing some of his magic to leak into the world. Once a mere fish who dreamed of being a dragon, Nami has received some of this power, and has found her true form beginning to awaken."

Valiant Sword Riven

1350 RP
"Riven trained with Morgana in the arts of politics and war for many years, but where Riven walked the path of justice, Morgana envisioned a world ruled by the gods alone-- ultimately defeating their master and assuming the title of empress. Now tasked with bringing her friend to heel, Riven must face Morgana in combat... or join her."

TFT Patch Notes

Hey Tacticians, welcome to the Teamfight Tactics patch 9.19 notes.

It's a big one this week headlined by the introduction of Kai'Sa and the new Sparring Glove items. We're also making a few small adjustments to the new mystery box system, overall we like the way it's change the game it just needed a few tuning tweaks.

Systems


Player Damage Adjustments

With the loot changes, we’ve noticed a slight acceleration in game speed leading to players going out much quicker than we intend. So we’re lowering player damage slightly.
  • 1 Star, Tier 2: 2 ⇒ 1
  • 2 Star, Tier 2: 3 ⇒ 2
  • 3 Star, Tier 1: 4 ⇒ 3
  • 3 Star, Tier 2: 5 ⇒ 4
  • 3 Star Tier 3: 6 ⇒ 5

Mystery Box System Adjustments

The new system has been a positive addition to the game, but needs some fine tuning, so we’re making a few adjustments.
  • Common boxes average gold value decreased.
  • Uncommon boxes average gold value decreased very slightly.
  • Slightly lowered the odds of Gold Boxes showing up.
  • Tier 4 units can no longer drop from Uncommon boxes.
  • Slightly increased the odds of Neeko’s Help dropping from all boxes

Traits


Dragon

Due to how easy it is to get Magic Resist and the lack of options on how to play around it, we’re lowering the strength of Dragon & Dragon’s Claw.
  • Dragon (2): 83% Magic Reduction ⇒ 75% Magic Reduction

Glacial

Glacial Procs are a little too powerful, so we’re making a similar consistency change that we did to Swordbreaker and applying it to Glacial.
  • Glacial Stun duration: 2sec ⇒ 1.5sec
  • Glacial Stun chance: 20/30/45 ⇒ 20/33/50

Void

With the addition of Kai’Sa, we wanted to lower the power of the early Void. However, we still want to open up more build options and reward those who fully commit to the void.
  • (2) One random void champion deals true damage this combat
  • (4) All your void champions deal true damage this combat

Yordle

We’ve removed RFC's ability to ignore dodges, so now it only exists on Wild. Because of that, we’re pulling a bit of power back out of Yordle. The introduction of mittens also means we’re adding a new 9 piece chase option.
  • Yordle Dodge chance: 35%/60% ⇒ 30%/60%/90%

General Trait Adjustments

  • Assassin: (3) 75% Crit damage & 10% Crit chance / (6) 150% Crit damage & 25% Crit chance / (9) 225% Crit damage & 40% Crit chance ⇒ (3) 75% Crit damage & 10% Crit chance / (6) 150% Crit damage & 20% Crit chance / (9) 225% Crit damage & 30% Crit chance
  • Ninja Attack Damage and Ability Power: 50/70 ⇒ 50/80
  • Noble: 25 Heal on hit ⇒ 30 Heal on hit
  • Shapeshifter Bonus Health: 60%/120% ⇒ 60%/100%
  • Ranger: 30%/70% ⇒ 25%/70%

Champions


Anivia

Anivia has been underperforming for a 5 cost, so we’re changing her identity to be a strong unit that slows the attack speed of the back line.
  • Health: 700 ⇒ 750
  • Attack Speed: 0.6 ⇒ 0.8
  • Starting/Total Mana: 0/100 ⇒ 50/125
  • Ability Targeting: Random ⇒ Furthest Target

Kassadin

Kassadin has proven problematic as a dps champ who can also gain a shield and also drain mana. We’re shifting his identity into a front-line sorcerer and pulling out some of the damage.
  • Attack Damage: 50 ⇒ 40
  • Attack Speed: 0.6 ⇒ 0.55
  • Armor: 25 ⇒ 35
  • Mana Steal & Shield Power: 20/40/60 ⇒ 25/50/75

Miss Fortune

We’re adjusting Miss Fortune to be a powerful auto attacker for gunslingers who rarely casts. When she does cast, it’s a big one!
  • Health: 700 ⇒ 750
  • Attack Speed: 0.85 ⇒ 0.95
  • Mana: 0/75 ⇒ 0/150
  • Ability Damage: 900/1300/1700 ⇒ 1300/2000/2700
  • Ability Targeting: Current Target ⇒ Furthest Target

  • Mordekaiser Spell Damage: 200/325/450 ⇒ 250/500/750

  • Rek’Sai AS: 0.65 ⇒ 0.6

Tier 3

  • Ashe Mana: 0/100 ⇒ 0/125

  • Shyvana Burn Damage: 250/375/500 ⇒ 200/300/400
  • Veigar Spell Dmg: 300/550/800 ⇒ 350/650/950
  • Vi Health: 650 ⇒ 700
  • Vi Spell Damage: 250/450/650 ⇒ 300/500/700

Items
