AZIR
Q - Conquering Sands
A cooldown increase on an Ultimate always spells bad news for mains. This change pre-Worlds is an attempt to quell Azir’s power play, even after a nerf to Crown of the Shattered Queen.
R - Certain Death
Miscellaneous
What a way to welcome the new girl with a buttload of nerfs! Initially thought to be weak, this set of League of Legends patch notes for 13.19 will reign in Briar’s ability to heal off minions and fixing a number of bugs. So much for being hangry.
GALLO
R - Hero’s Entrance
An Ultimate cooldown reduction? At this time of year? At this time of day? Localized completely around Worlds?
GANGPLANK
R - Cannon Barrage
I realize Talk Like a Pirate Day was last week, but let’s give a hearty “yarr!” for nautical buffs.
JHIN
R - Curtain Call
Even more Ultimate changes. It’s like Worlds is coming up or something. In this case, Riot felt his damage was too low and wanted to mix things up a bit in patch 13.19.
W - Distortion
E - Ethereal Chains
Base stat changes, this late in the season? Madness. This appears as a rebalancing in light of LeBlanc’s lessened use of mana and the threat of being a split pusher. But, really it’s a give and take of mid-game versus late game.
W - Iron Will
E - Tempest
“We’re certainly aware of the “It’s Worlds, time to buff Lee Sin” memes but in all honesty, most Lee Sin players aren’t finding much success in their games at home, even in high-skill games.” Guess that says everything we need to know.
LISSANDRA
W - Ring of Frost
Root duration increases are a double-edged sword when it comes to balance. Too long and it’s a death sentence, not enough and you’re dead. Don’t be surprised to see more small tweaks such as this in future League of Legends patch notes.
Base Stats
W - Ghostwater Dive
A health increase for an assassin-type character is a big deal, while the change to his dive should help with that surprise factor.
W - Burrow
W - Un-burrow
That passive heal change is a huge deal for staying in the lane and remaining competitive. Likewise, the damage and speed nerfs make perfect since in light of how big the heal becomes.
SYNDRA
Q - Dark Sphere
Numbers go up, numbers go down, but numbers never stay the same.
TWITCH
R - Spray And Pray
I’ll avoid any streaming service jokes here about Twitch spraying and/or praying.
Yup, that number sure did go down.
Skins and Chromas
Here’s a look at all the skins and chromas coming throughout this patch phase.
