It’s that special time of the week, League of Legends patch time. Patch 6.19 is hitting the Rift tomorrow, filled to the brim with champion changes that will affect the game in a major way. Kog’maw is no longer going to be doing his best impression of a machine gun, and Aurelion Sol is going to be a contender for best mid laner.
There are also a few HUD improvements, you can sell items in the shop more easily and new items pings have been added to the game. Now you can tell your jungler who is stealing all your lane farm to back off, you are just 100 gold away from that BF Sword. He will most likely still choose to ignore those pings, but that’s just how League of Legends works.
Here’s a full rundown of the buffs and nerfs in League of Legends Patch 6.19:
Buffs
The poison man himself, Singed, is finally getting some love. His poison now ticks four times a second, but he still does the same amount of damage. That means he will be doing more damage to those stuck in his cloud if they are stupid enough to chase League’s first champion
It’s Worlds time, so we are getting a Corki buff. The ROFLcopter gains one extra Attack damage per level.
Dr. Mundo might go where he pleases, but he isn’t doing much when he gets there. To give him a bit more bite, Riot is buffing his Masochism damage by 10 and lowering its cooldown by one second.
Aurelion Sol deals more damage with his passive ring of comets and in exchange loses half the damage when they expand. Celestial Expansion costs 10 mana a second less and Comet of Legend causes the sky dragon to fly immediately on cast.
Udyr gains ten more damage when he procs his Pheonix Stance, but the ability ticks for one less second. Overall, he will be dealing more damage on impact, but less Damage Over Time.
Nerfs
I’m not sure whether to describe this change to Kled as a buff or a nerf. He no longer deals 20 percent less damage to monsters and minions but his CHAAAAAAAARGE!!! lasts two seconds shorter and has 1000 less range at rank one.
Soraka’s Infusion has a four second longer cooldown at rank one, goodbye healing horse.
Twitch gets 20 percent less Attack Speed from Ambush at rank five.
Cassiopeia has been dominating competitive play ever since the mage rework, so Riot is toning her down just a bit. Miasma has 100 less range and Twin Fang heals depending on level, not ability rank.
Anivia deals 10 to 50 less damage with Frostbite, depending on the abilities’ rank.
The biggest change this patch happened to Kog’maw . Riot realized they messed up with his rework, so they are reverting the voidling puppy to how he was last year. He has higher base attack speed. Caustic Spittle grants him extra attack speed instead of Bio-Arcane Barrage, which deals percent health damage and increases Kog’s range. Let’s see how this change works out, Kog’maw needed these changes.
