A lot of champions will be balanced in the upcoming patch, with some of the highlights being the nerfs to Zeri and Renekton. There will also be a lot of buffs to look forward to this time around, with Jhin, Lee Sin, Lissandra, and Twitch getting quality-of-life improvements.

Before moving on to who will be receiving balance updates, it’s important to note here that the 13.19 preview is tentative. Riot Games will first be testing it out in the League of Legends PBE before officially shipping the changes with the patch next week.

1) Champion Buffs

• Galio
• Gangplank
• Jhin
• Lee Sin
• Lissandra
• Nunu (AP focus)
• Pyke
• Syndra
• Twitch
• Ziggs

Jhin will be getting more quality-of-life changes this time around. While the ADC has not been struggling in the lane, he has found it rather difficult to close out the game, even after receiving a fair bit of an early-game advantage. Hence, with 13.19, Riot will try to make sure that Jhin is able to convert his early leads into wins.

2) Champion Nerfs

• Rek’Sai
• Renekton
• Zeri

Renekton has been one of the most dominant top laners for a couple of months now. He has been having a rather great time in the current meta, especially with the Goredrinker changes. Riot Games will be looking to bring his effectiveness down a bit for the upcoming Worlds Championship.

3) System Buffs

• Randuin’s Omen
• Seeker’s Armguard

Randuin’s Omen will be receiving a significant buff, and Worlds 2023 might just see the resurgence of a tank meta.
