Patch 26.19 Notes

v26.19official notes ↗

TL;DR

  1. Worlds is right around the corner, more “new” champs join Classic, and Arena’s got fresh Augments!
  2. Aphelios has been kiting the spotlight for a while now, even though he's a hypercarry in an enchanter meta that should favor him, so we're looking to give him a little boost to encourage him to get out of his comfort zone.
  3. Healing : 2 - 7.1%, increased to 5 - 17.75% ⇒ 2 - 8%, increased to 5 - 20%
  4. Despite not receiving any changes since last year, Aurora has fallen off as we've had to nerf Rocketbelt into a fairer state. We're giving our favorite Bryni a bit more power in her waveclear and outplay potential with her ultimate.
  5. Kha'Zix has been on the fringe of the meta now that the jungle is no longer dominated by Sundered Sky users. We are taking this opportunity to buff some of his weaker evolves to give him the flexibility to adapt and overcome.

+Buffs8

  • Attack Damage : 62 ⇒ 64
  • Our Grand Duelist has room to shine a bit more when she succeeds after finding her opening, without giving her sharper 1v1 tools.
  • Health Growth : 99 ⇒ 105
  • Heal Range : 550 ⇒ 600
  • Kha'Zix has been on the fringe of the meta now that the jungle is no longer dominated by Sundered Sky users. We are taking this opportunity to buff some of his weaker evolves to give him the flexibility to adapt and overcome.
  • Poppy's flex potential and jungle presence has been a bit problematic, suppressing many champions across the board as a strong counterpick. For this change, we're targeting her flexibility by reverting a previous buff to jungle clear.
  • Armor Growth : 4.2 ⇒ 4.7
  • Flux Bonus Damage : 25 / 50 / 75 / 100% increased damage ⇒ 15 / 40 / 65 / 90% increased damage

−Nerfs8

  • We think The Darkin Blade has lost a fair bit of power with Sundered Sky nerfs that were aimed more at opening up the jungle meta, so we are giving him a bump so he remains a world-ending threat.
  • Healing : 2 - 7.1%, increased to 5 - 17.75% ⇒ 2 - 8%, increased to 5 - 20%
  • Despite not receiving any changes since last year, Aurora has fallen off as we've had to nerf Rocketbelt into a fairer state. We're giving our favorite Bryni a bit more power in her waveclear and outplay potential with her ultimate.
  • Base Damage : 70 / 110 / 150 / 190 / 230 ⇒ 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240
  • Passive Magic Damage On-Hit : 12 / 22 / 32 / 42 ⇒ 14 / 24 / 34 / 44
  • Bonus Attack Speed : 60 / 75 / 90 / 105 / 120% ⇒ 70 / 85 / 100 / 115 / 130%
  • Bonus Damage : 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 ⇒ 30 / 50 / 70 / 90 / 110
  • Minion/Monster Maximum Health Cap : 85 / 120 / 155 / 190 / 225 ⇒ 70 / 105 / 140 / 175 / 210

~Fixes8

  • Fizz dashes a fixed distance through an enemy, damaging them and applying on-hit effects.
  • First cast: Fizz hops up on his trident, becoming untargetable. After a short delay, he will crash down, damaging and slowing enemies around him.
  • Nami unleashes a massive tidal wave that damages, knocks up, and slows all enemies it crashes into.
  • Bugfix : Fixed a bug where the reflected damage could be blocked by enemies in the way.
  • Bugfix : Fixed a bug where Fiora could be locked out of attacking or moving for 2 seconds if her target immediately became untargetable.
  • Bugfix : Fixed a bug where the first heal was receiving the -20% heal reduction.
  • Bugfix : Fixed a bug where it was dealing 15 more damage than it should have.
  • Bugfix : Fixed a bug where it was applying the wrong VFX on its target.

*New8

  • NEW     Cloak and Dagger
  • NEW     Moonflair Spellblade
  • NEW     Zz'Rot Portal
  • Added more in-game negative behavior detections.
  • Added a new "Recommended" sort in the Runes store, making it easier for new players to identify good early-account runes.
  • NEW     Crit N Cast
  • NEW     Death Dealer
  • NEW     Got That Dog In Em

League of Legends Patch 26.18 Notes

v26.18
  • NEW     Cooldown Behavior : If Q is active, it is now placed on Cooldown immediately upon being put in Resurrection
  • In light of the bugfix nerfing rageblade by a minor amount by pushing back when the first double hit triggers, we are compensating with a similarly minor QoL buff to help players get it stacked up and keep it stacked.
  • This is why you're really here. Fiora becomes untargetable and dashes around the battlefield, striking nearby enemies for (say it with me) tons of damage. All strikes apply on-hit effects and repeated hits on the same target deal reduced damage.

League of Legends Patch 26.17 Notes

v26.17
  • Arenas, Bridges, Summoner’s Rifts new and old… change comes for us all.
  • Damage Reduction Ability Power Ratio : 7% per 100 AP (Halved for Magic Damage) (reduced to 75% value for Magic Damage in Arena) ⇒ 8% per 100 AP (Halved for Magic Damage) (reduced to 75% value for Magic Damage in Arena)
  • We believe Vayne may need larger scope work in the future to help out her bot lane, but for now are prioritizing constraining her top lane power. These changes should impact her up there more than in bot lane.

League of Legends Patch 26.16 Notes

v26.16
  • We are continuing to monitor Azir, especially as players continue to pick up Press The Attack as his optimal keystone. For now however, we are going to give him a moderate buff to his laning to help him out.
  • NEW     True Form Remora Indicator : Resource bar now turns purple when True Form can spawn Remora
  • Stacks : 3, increased to 12 on champions / large minions / monsters ⇒ 4, increased to 10 on champions / large minions / monsters
