SR Patch Notes
Check out the Patch 9.22 notes for the most recent changes (be sure to check regional editions for slight variations!) - look for Senna to release on November 10th.We're finally one patch away from preseason AND I CAN STOP SAYING "IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR PRESEASON." If you're struggling to get to Gold like I am, let this also be a warning that you only have this last patch to get there, so good luck!
Meanwhile, URF ends in 5 days! That's right, 5 (if you include today)! If you missed the announcement on the Mid-Patch Updates in 9.21, we're extending the duration of the game mode for 1 more day. So get your cannon on until November 9, 2019 7:00PM PT.
The bugfixes that we worked on with you during the 10-year anniversary are also going live this patch! You can read about them at the very bottom in its respective section.

Champions
Senna
The Redeemer
Senna escapes from the lantern on November 10!
High-res versions of Senna's splash arts are available on League Displays!
Ashe
W cost increased.
We're nerfing Ashe's early game harass so she feels a little more compelled to capitalize on the slow rather than throwing it out mostly for harass damage.
W - Volley
COST50 mana ⇒ 70 mana
Blitzcrank
Q base damage decreased.
Blitzcrank is still a bit too strong after his recent changes, so we're giving him a light touch to get him to the state we envisioned for him.
Q - Rocket Grab
BASE DAMAGE80/135/190/245/300 ⇒ 70/120/170/220/270
Ivern
Q bugfixes.
These bugfixes went live in 9.21, but we're noting them here for anyone who may have missed them!
Q - Rootcaller
LEAVE ROOM FOR DAISYIvern will now always dash into melee range of the target
THREE'S A CROWDFixed a bug where Ivern would land inside some jungle camps when dashing with his Q
ABRA-KADABRA-ALAKAZAMFixed a bug where allies would teleport to unexpected locations when Ivern would dash to a rooted target
Kai'Sa
Q missile damage after first hit decreased.
With this one change, we're hitting two birds with one stone. We're weakening Kai'Sa's late game isolated burst damage and bolstering her opponent's ability to push her away from minion waves in lane.
Q - Icathian Rain
NON-MINION MULTI-HIT MISSILE DAMAGE30% ⇒ 25%
Kalista
W mark duration and bonus damage on marked targets increased.
While we've historically hesitated to put power into Kalista's proc damage due to high limits in team coordination in solo play, we're taking a different direction here and making the proc easier to access and amping the damage. We're hoping this will make it better value for her at all levels of play, and help with the perception that there should be no points in it at all.
W - Sentinel
BONUS DAMAGE ON MARKED TARGETS5/7.5/10/12.5/15% of target's maximum health ⇒ 10/12/14/16/18% of target's maximum health
MARK DURATION3 seconds ⇒ 4 seconds
Kayle
Q base damage decreased. W cost increased.
Decreasing Kayle's laning power so she's more vulnerable early and so it takes a bit longer before she starts bullying people around.
Q - Radiant Blast
BASE DAMAGE70/115/160/205/250 ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220
W - Celestial Blessing
COST60/70/80/90/100 mana ⇒ 70/80/90/100/110 mana
Malphite
R AP ratio decreased.
We think Malphite's tank builds are in a good place, but AP Rock can be really frustrating to play against due to the low options of counterplay against it. So we're nerfing that specific aspect of his kit.
R - Unstoppable Force
RATIO1.0 ability power ⇒ 0.8 ability power
Nautilus
R primary target base damage decreased.
Nautilus is too strong in all games, regardless of level, but we're focusing the nerf this patch on the damage that is more dependent on coordination.
R - Depth Charge
PRIMARY TARGET BASE DAMAGE200/325/450 ⇒ 150/275/400
Pantheon
Q minion damage reduction increased; execute threshold decreased. W increased dash speed from boots removed.
Pantheon persists as an overly strong (and banned) champion, especially in higher ranked games. We're making some changes to the parts of his kit that mostly impact players in those games, mainly targeting his consistent damage and wave clear.
Q - Comet Spear
MINION DAMAGE REDUCTION20% ⇒ 30%
EXECUTE THRESHOLD25% of target's maximum health ⇒ 20% of target's maximum health
W - Shield Vault
REMOVEDNO LONGER WALKING ALL OVER YOUPantheon's dash speed is no longer increased from boots
Sejuani
Base AD, health regen growth, and AS growth increased. Q damage increased later. E bugfix.
Helping Sejuani boar down on enemies and rewarding her for getting into the thick of the fight.
Base Stats
ATTACK DAMAGE64 ⇒ 66
HEALTH REGEN GROWTH0.85 ⇒ 1
ATTACK SPEED GROWTH3% ⇒ 3.5%
Q - Arctic Assault
DAMAGE80/120/160/200/240 (+0.4 ability power) ⇒ 80/130/180/230/280 (+0.6 ability power)
E - Permafrost
BUGFIXPassive now properly resets its debuff duration when reapplying at max stacks
Sylas
Base health regen and magic resist increased; health regen growth decreased. W cost decreased.
We recently did some work to begin addressing the difference between Sylas' power level in pro versus solo queue. His overall power level dropped as a result, so we're giving him some general strength. However, we don't think we've entirely solved the issue, so we'll be continuing that work in the near future.
Base Stats
HEALTH REGEN7 ⇒ 9
HEALTH REGEN GROWTH1 ⇒ 0.9
MAGIC RESIST36.1 ⇒ 39
W - Kingslayer
COST50/55/60/65/70 mana ⇒ 40/45/50/55/60 mana
Xayah
W bonus attack speed decreased.
Nerfing Xayah's hypercarry DPS potential.
W - Deadly Plumage
BONUS ATTACK SPEED40/47.5/55/62.5/70% ⇒ 35/40/45/50/55%
Bugfixes
- If her target dies before Caitlyn's Energized (via items like Rapid Firecannon and Statikk Shiv) Passive - Headshot hits them, Caitlyn will no longer be damaged in their stead
- Ornn's second R - Call of the Forge God activation now properly knocks up enemies close to it
- Gangplank's E - Powder Keg's barrels no longer trigger Teemo's R - Noxious Trap's shrooms

- When Sion casts R - Unstoppable Onslaught out of its range, the ability will now properly cast immediately instead of after he walks into cast range
- When Q - Twin Bite is on cooldown, Shyvana's basic attacks on structures now properly reduce the ability's cooldown
- Rift Herald's summon trinket now properly has the 1 second lockout period that all trinkets have to prevent accidental usage

Points of Interest from the 9.22 PBE Cycle
Here's a brief look at many of the new things included in patch 9.22. This coverage includes preview screen shots and video taken during the 9.22 PBE cycle and may vary slightly from what is pushed to live.
Release Skin
Senna's release skin is True Damage Senna!
True Damage Senna
1350 RP
"Senna rose to fame with her stunning vocal range and iconic sense of style, but when a shady adversary from her past imprisoned her in a restrictive record deal that took away her creative independence, she vanished from the spotlight. After years of living in the shadows, she now emerges as the lead singer of True Damage with her mind set on defining her legacy on her own terms."
Champion Skins
Following the skins trailer & reveal, new True Damage skins for Akali, Ekko, Qiyana ( + Prestige Edition), Senna, and Yasuo -will be releasing November 10th!
"True Damage Ekko, True Damage Yasuo, True Damage Akali, True Damage Senna, and True Damage Senna will be available on November 10, 2019."
True Damage Akali
1350 RP
"After the worldwide success of K/DA, Akali made it her mission to recruit accomplished and up-and-coming artists to form a new supergroup: True Damage. Never before has a crew been comprised of such diverse talent, ranging from natural lyricists to renowned producers to legendary vocalists... all ready to disrupt the music industry."
True Damage Ekko
1820 RP
"A boy genius from the rough streets, Ekko turned to music as a way to express himself. His prodigious lyricism and technological savvy could have bought him a way out, but instead, he chose to stay and uplift his neighborhood. Now, he fiercely resists the temptations of fame and glory, garnering a following among the young and hopeful who see him as an avatar for their own potential."
As a Legendary tier skin, True Damage Ekko has a new voiceover and special interactions:
True Damage Qiyana
1350 RP
"Qiyana is the daughter of Latin music royalty. With her family's esteemed reputation, she has an easy path to superstardom... and yet, she has her eyes set on something grander. With her brash confidence and rebellious persona, she is determined to change the game in not just music, but the entirety of pop culture."
True Damage Qiyana Prestige Edition
Tokens
"Always a fixture in the spotlight, Qiyana dressed to impress at True Damage's sold-out concert in Paris. While the paparazzi swarmed her with photos and questions, she reveled in the attention, knowing this was only the beginning of her empire of celebrity."
True Damage Yasuo
1350 RP
"As enigmatic as he is skilled, Yasuo is the veteran producer all others turn to for inspiration. His beats transcend genre, painting whole universes with wild textures of sound. Notoriously selective about his collaborations, Yasuo sees True Damage as his platform to revolutionize how society experiences music."

Miscellaneous
- Thresh in-client bio tweaked: "Sadistic and cunning, Thresh is an ambitious and restless spirit of the Shadow Isles. Once the custodian of countless arcane secrets, he
soughtwas undone by a power greater than life or death, and now sustains himself by tormenting and breaking others with slow, excruciating inventiveness. His victims suffer far beyond their brief mortal coil as Thresh wreaks agony upon their souls, imprisoning them in his unholy lantern to torture for all eternity." - Lucian in-client bio tweaked: "Lucian, a Sentinel of Light, is a grim hunter of undying spirits, pursuing them relentlessly and annihilating them with his twin relic pistols. After the wraith Thresh slew his wife, Lucian embarked on the path of vengeance... but even with her return to life, his rage is undiminished. Merciless and single-minded, Lucian will stop at nothing to protect the living from the long-dead horrors of the Black Mist."
- Lucian's VO, special interactions and choose & ban quotes were updated with Senna's addition to the PBE:
TFT Patch Notes
"Greetings Tacticians!
The Elements are here, and they are rising. The All-new Elemetal Hex system, new champions, Origins, Classes, and Abilities are shaking up the Convergence. The new set also brings a new ranked season to Teamfight Tactics, study up and get ready to climb on patch 9.23. Last, but certainly not least, we've decreased the number of each champion in the pool making forced team compositions more difficult and opening more paths to victory.
