Everything you need to know about Patch 11.19
All Buffs and Nerfs of LoL Patch 11.19 [UPDATE]
The 2021 World Championship will be played on LoL Patch 11.19. Riot has already been working on changes for the pro meta in Patch 11.18 and now the final adjustments are coming our way to have a diverse World Championship.
Seriously, we’re excited for these extensive changes. Watching a month-long event with the same 10 champions does get repetitive, so hopefully, the team at Riot was able to get the correct balance for all these champions so we can see multiple interesting play styles clash.

Which Champions are Getting Buffed in LoL Patch 11.19?
Fifteen champions are on the buff list for LoL Patch 11.19. Some champions haven’t seen the light of day in the pro scene in what feels like centuries. Seriously, when was the last time you watched Sejuani or even Cho’Gath be impactful?
Champions like Akali are always difficult to balance since she is either broken beyond repair or useless. Let’s see what Riot has decided for her this time around.

Three champions on the buff list are familiar from LoL Patch 11.18. Fizz, Renekton and Qiyana all got adjusted in the last patch, but Riot clearly wasn’t happy with their numbers and have decided to make further changes to help them both in solo queue and in the pro scene.

Five champions are going to be nerfed in Patch 11.19. Soraka just got a huge buff in Patch 11.18, but it seems she’s healing a little too well, so Riot might do something about her ultimate once more.

According to Jeevun “Jag” Sidhu, Sona is the only nerf which should target solo queue as well. She’s been quite popular since her mini rework a few patches ago. Let’s see what the balance team has in store for her.

Vex Champion Release in LoL Patch 11.19
Vex is the newest champion joining League of Legends. We’ve met her before during the Sentinels event as she helped Viego. She is the first female Yordle to release since Lulu in 2012. So it’s about time we get a new female Yordle.
What Abilities will Vex Have?
- Passive - Doom ‘n Gloom: Doom - Periodically, Vex becomes empowered by Doom, causing her next basic ability to interrupt dashes and Fear enemies. / Gloom - Whenever a nearby enemy dashes or blinks, they become marked with Gloom. Vex’s next basic attack against a marked enemy detonates the mark, dealing bonus damage and refunding part of Doom's cooldown!
- Q - Mistral Bolt: Vex launches a wave forward, dealing magic damage to enemies it passes through. After a short delay, the wave accelerates but has reduced width. Mistral Bolt detonates Gloom on any marked enemies it hits.
- W - Personal Space: Vex gains a shield and emits a shockwave, dealing magic damage to enemies around her. Personal Space detonates Gloom on any marked enemies it hits.
- E - Looming Darkness: Shadow flies to a location, increasing in size as it travels. On arriving, Shadow deals magic damage, slows, and marks enemies hit with Gloom.
- R - Shadow Surge: Shadow flies forward, marking and dealing magic damage to the first enemy champion hit. Vex can then recast this ability to have Shadow pull her to the marked target, dealing additional magic damage.
Vex is a mid lane mage. Originally she was planned to be an artillery mage, but during her development that was changed. Her kit is interesting and looks fun. She is an easy champion to understand and many fans already see her countering a lot of newly released champions with her anti-dash mechanic.
When will Patch 11.19 be Released?
The patch will be released next week on Wednesday, 22 September. This gives pro players plenty of time to test out the latest changes before the biggest esports event of the year which is set to take place in Iceland.
