Patch 10.19 notes
Swinging in with a gunslinging gal and some quick touch-ups for Worlds.
Hi! The Worlds patch is here, a new markswoman is here, you’re here...it’s a dang party!
The world itself has been a little topsy-turvy, but there’s nothing crazy here, we promise. This patch is focused on tidying things up for the championship, which means levelling the playing field so that not one figure is dwarfing the rest (here’s looking at you, Caitlyn). This also means we’re giving a bit of a kick to some friends to, well, kick them into gear and into the competitive spotlight. These buffs are mostly geared towards marksmen, junglers, and mid laners, in the hopes of mixing things up a tad for our biggest tournament of the year!
And finally, a warm welcome to Samira, who can slice and dice (and blast) it up in the bot lane. I mean, she’s got an eye patch and everything.
And away we go!
Take this portal if you're looking for TFT's patch notes!

Mid-Patch Updates
9/22/2020 Samira Balance Changes
Samira
BASE HEALTH 600 ⇒ 530
R - INFERNO TRIGGER DAMAGE
10/20/30 (+0.6 attack damage); 100/200/300 (+6.0 attack damage) at full channel

9/21/2020 Rek'Sai and Sion Bugfixes
Rek'Sai
W - BURROW MOVEMENT SPEED BUGFIX Fixed a bug where Rek'Sai was granted double the movement speed mentioned in W - Burrow's tooltip when casting the ability.
Sion
W - SOUL FURNACE PASSIVE BUGFIX When active, Sion's W - Soul Furnace now properly grants him bonus health from kills.
9/16/2020 Fiora and Rek'Sai Bugfixes
Fiora
W - RIPOSTE BUGFIX REVERT Reverting a bugfix from 10.18 that attempted to fix a bug where Fiora would trigger her enemy's Vitals through a Spell Shield. The bugfix introduced a new bug that would negatively impact Fiora's play in Worlds, so while we will fix this in the future, we'll opting to revert any changes to her this patch.
Rek'Sai
COOLDOWN BUGFIX Fixed a bug where when Rek'Sai burrows while Q - Queen's Wrath/Prey Seeker or E - Furious Bite/Tunnel is on cooldown, it would stop the cooldown countdown until she unburrows.

Samira
The Desert Rose
Samira shows-off her moves in 10.19 on September 21.
High-res versions of Samira's splashes are available on League Displays!
Ahri
W cooldown and cost reduced.
The changes to Ahri in patch 10.18 were a little too cautious in terms of power. Giving her some strength back by firing up her W to make it feel more satisfying.
W - Fox-Fire
COOLDOWN 10/9/8/7/6 seconds ⇒ 9/8/7/6/5 seconds
COST 55 mana ⇒ 40 mana
Akali
Q base damage and AD ratio decreased.
We’ve been seeing an increase in Akali’s presence in Pro since our buffs in 10.16. We’re reverting our past changes (10.16 and 10.12) on her to make sure this deadly assassin doesn’t completely dominate the meta at Worlds.
Q - Five Point Strike
BASE DAMAGE 35/60/85/110/135 (+0.65 ability power) ⇒ 30/55/80/105/130 (+0.6 ability power) (attack damage ratio stays the same)
Aphelios
Base AD growth increased.
Our moonlight man was nudged out of the Pro meta through consistent nerfs. It’s time to restore some faith to his weapons.
Base Stats
ATTACK DAMAGE GROWTH 2 ⇒ 2.4
Azir
W bonus AS decreased.
Azir has (a)risen to the upper tier of mages in Pro play, and has become the de facto option for scaling compositions. Since pro players are able to get more 3-soldier autos off than in lower MMR (thus proccing doubled bonus attack speed), we’re bringing down the ratio.
W - Arise!
BONUS ATTACK SPEED 20/30/40/50/60% ⇒ 15/25/35/45/55%
TRIPLE SOLDIER BONUS ATTACK SPEED
20/30/40/50/60% ⇒ 15/25/35/45/55%
Caitlyn
Base AD and AS growth decreased.
Caitlyn has been dominating and we're not confident that even with our previous nerfs there'd be a level playing field. It feels bad to put extra cuffs on the sheriff, but it seems it's prudent in order to open up bottom lane diversity for our most important tournament.
Base Stats
ATTACK DAMAGE 64 ⇒ 62
ATTACK SPEED GROWTH 4% ⇒ 3.5%
Irelia
R barrage and perimeter base damage increased later.
Irelia carries her blades with grace, but could also carry more power. We’re strengthening her ultimate to help her slice and dice things up as the game progresses.
R - Vanguard’s Edge
BARRAGE BASE DAMAGE 125/225/325 ⇒ 125/250/375
PERIMETER BASE DAMAGE 125/200/275 ⇒ 125/250/375
Ivern
E slow increased.
Ivern has seen little play in Pro games despite holding his own in other skill brackets. This change encourages Ivern to work with his friends to catch up to their enemies.
E - Triggerseed
SLOW 40/45/50/55/60% ⇒ 50/55/60/65/70%
Lucian
Base AD growth decreased.
Similar to Akali, Lucian is trending towards becoming an overbearing flex pick at Worlds. Since a large reason for this is due to his solo lane prowess, we’re reining that in by lowering his experience scaling.
Base Stats
ATTACK DAMAGE GROWTH 2.75 ⇒ 2.3
Senna
Mist Wraith drop chance on minion kills decreased.
Senna has been stepping into the limelight, both as a bot lane carry and as a utility-first marksman in the Pro meta. We’re reducing her scaling via Mist Wraiths to grant more leeway to other traditional hypercarries.
Passive - Absolution
MIST WRAITH DROP CHANCE 8.33% on minions Senna kills (approximately once every 2 waves) ⇒ 4.166% on minions Senna kills (approximately once every 4 waves)
Sivir
Passive bonus MS increased.
Sivir’s fallen off the radar, so we’re increasing her ability to hunt down enemies in the hopes that she boomerangs back into power.
Passive - Fleet of Foot
BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 30-50 (levels 1-18) ⇒ 35-55 (levels 1-18)
Sylas
R cooldown decreased later.
Sylas has been shackled in Pro play due to having a weaker laning phase and stronger counterpicks. This will allow us now to amplify his real niche of snatching an ultimate here and an ultimate there, which means...he's getting Hijacked up.
R - Hijack
COOLDOWN 100/80/60 seconds ⇒ 100/70/40 seconds
Twisted Fate
Base MS reduced.
Twisted Fate remains a meta-driving force in Pro play as a safe roamer, so we’re paring down some of that.
Base Stats
MOVEMENT SPEED 335 ⇒ 330
Udyr
R cone damage increased.
Tiger Stance tends to be the go-to for Udyr players, so we’re giving a bit more bite (and burn) to his Phoenix Stance and its AoE damage playstyle.
R - Phoenix Stance
CONE DAMAGE 50/95/140/185/230/275 (+0.6 ability power) ⇒ 60/110/160/210/260/310 (+0.7 ability power)
Vayne
R bonus AD increased.
Vayne has been in the shadows as of late and hasn’t been succeeding in places she traditionally has, so we’re heightening Vayne's window of power by letting her excel in the moments you pick her for.
R - Final Hour
BONUS ATTACK DAMAGE 25/40/55 ⇒ 35/50/65
