Riot Games has outlined the upcoming patch 3.19.0 changes for Legends of Runeterra, buffing champions like Varus, Vayne, Gwen, etc. While nerfing champions like Seraphine, Swain & Lee Sin.

The anticipated Worlds Qualifier patch for Legends of Runeterra is finally here. Besides different expansions, the Worlds Championship is the most sought-after event.

Legends of Runeterra Worlds Championship is an event where the best players from all over the world compete against each other. The Worlds Qualifier is scheduled to take place on November 19th. The Worlds Qualifier is similar to LCS or LCQ in League of Legends, where the players are qualified to compete in the upcoming Worlds Championship.

This is why the current Legends of Runeterra patch 3.19.0 is designed to buff the weaker champions and nerf some problematic ones. Moreover, there are a plethora of variety card adjustments as well.

In addition, this Legends of Runeterra patch also contains new Spirit Blossom skins. Like Spirit Blossom Ahri, Spirit Blossom Evelynn, Spirit Blossom Kindred, Spirit Blossom Master Yi, Spirit Blossom Teemo & Spirit Blossom Yasuo. Moreover, Riot also updated 2 sand-themed skins: Sandstorm Ekko and Sand Wraith Pyke.
