League of Legends Patch 11.19 Possible Champion Changes
As it stands, Sona would be the most affected, since she became a top meta support after the last update, thanks to some major buffs and reworks done across her skills. She has currently a 54.5 percent win rate in the Platinum and higher ranks (as per champion.gg).
Nerf Before Worlds
These nerfs will be applied before the League of Legends World Championship, which takes place beginning October 5, 2021. As such, competing teams will likely adjust their possible line-ups before the tournament, as there might be some impact to their current strategies.
Notably, Varus was one of the most picked marksman champions in various League tournaments. He was chosen by notable ADC carries such as Ghost from DWG KIA, GALA from RNG, and FBI from 100 Thieves.
Though nothing is still certain for now, every LOL player should prepare for changes every now and then. Make sure to follow us for more LOL news and updates.
