League of Legends Patch 11.19 is set to release next week and once again we have a whole lot of changes coming to the rift. Though, as Riot stated, these are changes that will have a greater effect on the pro scene than our solo queue games since this will be the 2021 World Championship patch.
Patch 11.19 is the second half of Patch 11.18. At least that was how the balance team at Riot Games has described their patch preparation for the 2021 World Championship. A few champions that were nerfed and buffed last patch are once again on the list to even out some changes, while new faces join them.

Champion Nerfs in LoL Patch 11.19
Five champions seem to be on the nerf list for Patch 11.19. Soraka and Varus both got changes in Patch 11.18 and need further adjustments, while the other champions are new to this list. The Sona nerf will hit solo queue hard as well, since she’s just been too strong in the current meta.

Champion Buffs in LoL Patch 11.19
