Details of patch 13.19 for League of Legends

Riot Games has unveiled a preliminary document outlining the changes that will be introduced in update 13.19 for the game League of Legends. Matt "Phroxzon" Lung-Harrison, the balance designer, shared this list of changes on his Twitter account.

The developers have decided to exclude Ziggs from the list of champions receiving buffs because they were concerned that changes to his characteristics could have a significant impact on the World Championship, Worlds 2023. Instead, they have opted to weaken the champion Azir, who, according to MOBA developers, is considered too powerful on the professional scene.

Here is a list of champions who will receive buffs:

• Nunu: The scaling of the E ability will increase from 10% to 15% for each use.
• Pyke: Health growth per level will increase from 104 to 110 units. The cooldown of W will change from 12-10 to 12-8 seconds.
• Syndra: Base damage of Q will increase from 70-210 to 75-215 units.
• Twitch: Projectile speed of R will increase from 4000 to 5000 units.

The list of champions that will be weakened includes:

• Zeri: Base movement speed will decrease from 335 to 330 units.
• Renekton: Base magic resistance will decrease from 32 to 28 units.
• Azir: The cooldown of Q ability will change from 12-6 to 14-6 seconds.

The damage coefficient from Q based on total attack power will decrease from 34-50% to 30-50%. Underground movement speed will decrease from 350/355/360/365 to 340/345/350 units. Damage from the W ability will increase from 50-110 to 50-190 units.

Additionally, the following systemic changes will be introduced:

• "Randuin's Omen": The cost will decrease from 3000 to 2700 gold.
• "Iceborn Gauntlet": Base armor will increase from 15 to 25, and the maximum armor value will increase from 30 to 35 units.
