LoL Patch 25.19 notes: All buffs, nerfs, and more

Riot Games

With Worlds 2025 coming closer, the developer is making small changes to keep the meta in check while buffing forgotten champions and making them relevant for Fearless Drafts.

This is one of the two updates coming to League before the patch for the Worlds. It aims to target power creep for supports while buffing champions like Seraphine and many others, who have not seen much attention in pro play.
