Welcome to 10.9 and the last legs of Ranked Split! To begin with, we’re bringing champions like Nami and Karthus down a peg—we’ve been closely monitoring them for a while, and they’ve been standing out in their success, so we’re hoping this will shuffle them back in line. We're also looking to help out our friends in the top lane who didn’t benefit as much from recent buffs with some extra padding. Aside from these, we’re bringing some love to champions we’d like to see more of, like Lissandra and Quinn, and making another quick follow-up with Wukong. But don’t take it from me. Dive into the goodness below, and we’ll see you on the Rift!

Hanna “shio shoujo” Woo Tricia "mom cat" Tan Patch Highlights FPX Malphite, FPX Vayne, FPX Lee Sin, FPX Gangplank, and FPX Thresh will be available on April 30th, 2020. Summoner's Rift Ranked Split Ends Soon The Summoner Rift Ranked Split 1 rolls into Split 2 on Sunday, May 3 at 11:59 PM PDT. Last chance to grind out those Split Points for the exclusive Split 1 Aphelios summoner icon, Aphelios emote, and armor upgrade before the next split! Champions [Bard](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/bard/) W movement speed reduced and cooldown increased. E cooldown increased. Bard has been Journeying to a bunch of wins in the upper brackets of solo queue, so we’re reducing some of his roaming prowess to lower his overall utility. W - Caretaker’s Shrine MOVEMENT SPEED 50%, decaying over 1.5 seconds ⇒ 30%, decaying over 1.5 seconds COOLDOWN 12 seconds ⇒ 14 seconds E - Magical Journey COOLDOWN 18/17/16/15/14 seconds ⇒ 22/20.5/19/17.5/16 seconds [Cho’Gath](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/chogath/) E damage increased later. Our beast of the Void has been struggling in top lane, so we're buffing the ability that is specifically more utilized there, to boost him through his journey to tanky Chozilla. E - Vorpal Spikes DAMAGE 22/34/46/58/70 ⇒ 22/37/52/67/82 [Fiddlesticks](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/fiddlesticks/) E damage increased later. Just because he's a scary scarecrow with a scythe, doesn't mean Fiddlesticks can't be helpful to his buddies in lane. We're giving Fiddlesticks a little extra damage to his primary in-lane-as-a-support ability, so he can more adequately help out his partner in fights. E - Reap DAMAGE 70/100/130/160/190 ⇒ 70/105/140/175/210 [Gnar](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/gnar/) Q cooldown refund increased. E damage increased. Despite the previous buffs over the past year, Gnar's continued to feel underwhelming in average games. We're cautiously bringing up Mega Gnar’s potential for extended brawls, while keeping in mind his existing strength in other places. Shugi Shugi Shugit-em Q - Boulder Toss BOULDER PICKUP COOLDOWN REFUND 60% ⇒ 70% E - Crunch DAMAGE 50/85/120/155/190 ⇒ 80/115/150/185/220 [Karthus](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/karthus/) Base movement speed decreased. Karthus has been laying waste in the jungle, so we’re nudging him back in line by targeting his ability to get around the map, while avoiding collateral to mid Karthus as much as possible. Base Stats MOVEMENT SPEED 335 ⇒ 325 [Kayn](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/kayn/) Q cooldown decreased; bonus damage now applies to minions. W decaying slow increased. Our last few adjustments to Kayn haven’t pulled him out of the shadows as we’d expected, so we're adding a dash of spice to his overall game impact, from ganks to duels. We're hoping that the addition of minion damage on his Q will give Kayn more positional flexibility, and that lower cooldowns and increased slows will help pl _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/patch-10-9-notes/]_
