League of Legends patch 11.19 early notes details buffs to Fizz, Renekton, and Qiyana

With patch 11.19 scheduled to arrive next week, the League of Legends devs have already started planning some of the changes they will introduce with the update.

As 11.19 will be the Worlds patch, players will see many balance changes this time around. There will be a minimum of fifteen champion buffs in League of Legends patch 11.19. Riot Games will look to bring some considerable changes to the champion meta ahead of the international event.

In a recent tweet, League of Legends’ lead gameplay designer, Jeevun Sidhu, provided a lot of details on the changes that the developers will be introducing in patch 11.19.

It’s important to note that the tweaks listed in this preview are tentative and may not reflect entirely in the final patch. Over the next couple of days, these changes will be added to the PBE, and the devs will be introducing more tweaks to it wherever necessary.

Here are all the changes hitting the League of Legends PBE patch 11.19 cycle.

League of Legends patch 11.19 preview details

While we thought there was a chance his overall win rate would go down in 11.18, we felt that there was a good chance we would even out his MMR skew in the process. This did not happen - his MMR skew was aggravated. Consequently, we opted for a full revert.(2/2).
