Riot Games officially confirms K’Sante mini-rework; releasing on League of Legends patch 14.19.
League of Legends had its fair share of problematic champions, Yone, Briar, and Zeri to name a few. But no champion in the history of the game has been a such balance nightmare as K’Sante. There’s a reason why the “Showmaker” meme became so popular.
K’Sante as a champion is quite tanky, and scales really well with Armor, Magic Resistance, and Health. He also has really low cooldown on his abilities and has an “unstoppable” with his W. But the most outrageous fact is that he can out-damage most Bruisers, tanks, and ADC’s with the boost from his Ultimate.
Rants aside Riot has tried multiple times to fix this champion. They even reworked K’Sante twice. But none seemed to have worked. K’Sante still remains one of the best champions in the meta, especially in Professional Play and there is no sign of it stopping. So, Riot is trying once again by giving him another mini-rework. Hopefully, it finally makes K’Sante balanced.
That said, here are all the details regarding the upcoming, K’Sante Mini-Rework.

K’Sante is receiving tons of changes. Starting off with Base Stats, his Attack Range is going down by 25 but to compensate Attack Speed ratio is going up. Q is getting some base damage buffs but the AD ratio is getting removed. W is also getting some heavy damage nerfs. E-dash is getting nerfed as well. Finally, R is getting some damage adjustments as well.
Overall, it seems to be a big nerf to K’Sante but with the new Item adjustment, it should equal out.
Release Date
K’Sante Mini-Rework will be released in Patch 14.19, which is set to release on Wednesday, Sept 25, 2024.
