League of Legends Patch 9.19: Full notes and updates

With Worlds 2019 just around the corner, Riot Games revealed the full patch notes for 9.19 and it looks to balance out the meta before the biggest League of Legends tournament of the year begins.

Riot was worried about certain champions becoming pick-or-ban and taking over the professional scene, like Sylas and Yummi, and tuned them down a bit. Other champions, like Orianna and Graves, needed a little pick-me-up to mount their comeback. With a wide array of buffs and nerfs, Patch 9.19 could set the meta straight.

Here are the full notes for League of Legends Patch 9.19.
