It's the Worlds patch!! Similar to our philosophy for last year's Worlds patch, we've been making steady changes throughout the last few patches as to not completely throw everything in flux and have the pros invalidate whatever playbooks they've been developing for the most exciting event of the year. More than completely neutralizing top priority picks, we've been working on elevating more champions to competitive viability and are continuing that work in 9.19. This change process has resulted in smaller buffs or a couple of impactful nerfs across a slew of champions and more pro-focused changes that should even out the scales and create fun, diverse, and impactful picks for the next few weeks of Worlds games. On to the changes! Hanna “shio shoujo” Woo Back to top Mid-Patch Updates 10/1/2019 Gangplank Bugfix Gangplank Q+E BUGFIX Fixed a bug where Gangplank could plunder gold and Silver Serpents when killing units with basic attacks 9/26/2019 Updates [ALLIED] CHAT DISABLE BUG [Allied] Chat no longer disables itself after patching to 9.19 Blitzcrank Q - ROCKET GRAB RANGE BUGFIX Fixed a bug where Blitzcrank's hook range was longer than intended against bigger targets Sylas We're reverting some of Sylas' nerfs! Since the combination of his armor and passive nerfs ended up being too much, we're pulling back on one of them. BASE ARMOR 28 ⇒ 32 BASE ARMOR GROWTH 2.5 ⇒ 3 Back to top Patch Highlights Championship Ryze, Valiant Sword Riven, Majestic Empress Morgana, and Splendid Staff Nami will be available on September 26, 2019. Back to top Champions [Aatrox](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/aatrox/) Q minion damage reduction decreased. We overnerfed Aatrox in 9.18 and are giving back some of the waveclear he lost. Q - The Darkin Blade MINION DAMAGE REDUCTION 60% ⇒ 45% [Akali](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/akali/) R2 max damage increased. We also overnerfed Akali in 9.18. With her ultimate now sufficiently gated, we're returning some of the damage. R - Perfect Execution R2 MAXIMUM DAMAGE 195/420/645 ⇒ 225/450/645 [Annie](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/annie/) E movement speed increased; cooldown now scales. Following up on the 9.18 changes since we ended up going with a more conservative approach than necessary. E - Molten Shield MOVEMENT SPEED 25-50.5% (levels 1-18) ⇒ 30-60% (levels 1-18) COOLDOWN 15 seconds ⇒ 14/13/12/11/10 seconds [Ashe](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/ashe/) Passive slow increased. Q now an auto attack reset. Increasing Ashe's utility so she can be considered a good pick when a player wants to run down opponents in the early game. In addition, we're returning the full auto attack reset to her Q. We've decided that the minimal gameplay gains weren't worth the adverse effect on the satisfaction of playing Ashe. Passive - Frost Shot SLOW 15-30% (levels 1-18) ⇒ 20-30% (levels 1-18) Q - Ranger's Focus J>PQ GOT AC Now is an auto attack reset [Blitzcrank](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/blitzcrank/) Q range increased. R max stacks increased. Blitzcrank is the Hook and should always be even as we release other champions who just happen to have hooks in their abilities alongside other things. Q - Rocket Grab RANGE 1050 ⇒ 1150 R - Static Field PASSIVE MAX STACKS 2 marks ⇒ 3 marks [Fiora](http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/fiora/) Q can now hit turrets and wards. E2 can now crit turrets. Fiora's in an acceptable place when it comes to matchups in lane, but she struggles to convert her lane victories into game victories. Q - Lunge TOWER DEFENSE Can now hit turrets and wards (will prioritize champion vitals, ultimate targets, champs, dying minions, turrets, and wards, respectively) E - Bladework STONEHENGE The s _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/game-updates/patch-9-19-notes/]_
