Another big round of buffs today with new patch 8.19 in preparing for the Worlds who will begin next week in 1 Oct. according to the official patch note.

This is the final round of balance changes that were planned to pave the road for Worlds, because it’s the patch that Worlds will be played on. That being said, it’s mostly full of balance changes, but they’re overall much more significant than the last patch, which was also primarily for balancing.

When the last patch arrived, we assumed a change or two might shift the Meta in certain ways, some smaller than others. This update, however, is an entirely different story. Almost every change is a buff, and most of those buffs are intense enough to alter the Meta in big ways—both for pros and for the average solo queue player.

Champions such as Darius, Kha’Zix, Jarvan, Pyke, Janna, and Nunu were all given direct damage buffs, and some of them are large enough to just throw them to the top of the Meta right away. Jarvan and Darius’ buffs in particular are rather large, and we expect we’ll be seeing a lot more of them in the coming weeks. Nunu and Willump’s buffs are all to the duo’s AP ratios, and they’re certainly large enough to make their AP build more popular than their usual tank build.

All important changes is here below in this report:

Darius

One buff raises the total armor penetration passive on his Apprehend by five percent at all levels, and the other raises the bonus damage on his Crippling Strike by 10 percent at all levels.

Crippling Strike (W): Total damage raises by 10 percent at all levels.

Apprehend (E): Total Armor Penetration Raises by five percent at all levels

Nunu and Willump

His Q, Consume, which is a great tool for securing objectives and mid-fight sustain, is getting a 20 percent increase to its AP ratio, going up from 50 to 70 percent. And his E, Snowball Barrage, which isn’t used for damage so much as lining up crowd control, is getting a slightly higher AP ratio, too. It’s going up from five to six percent

Consume (Q): AP scaling raised from 50 percent to 70 percent.
Snowball Barrage (W): AP scaling rises from 5 percent to 6 percent.

Thresh

Death Sentence (Q): lowered cool down by four seconds at rank one and its mana cost by 60 at all ranks.

Kha’Zix

Unseen Threat (Passive): bounce attack damage increased from 20 percent to 40 percent.
Void Spike (W): evolved Non-Isolated slow increased from 40 percent to 60 percent. And Evolved isolated slowly increased from 80 percent to 90 percent.
