Update – September 22, 2021: 11.19 has gone live! Check out the League of Legends patch 11.20 notes to see what’s coming up next.
Here we are, well on our way into the League of Legends 2021 patch cycle. LoL patch 11.18 has been fired off onto live servers, which means it’s time to see what’s now dropping onto the MOBA game’s PBE for a fortnight o’ testing. There’s a whole lot to check out already for this update – let’s take a good look, shall we?
First up is, of course, League of Legends’ new champion Vex. We already saw Riot’s reveal of Vex’s abilities earlier this week, but now we’ve got the full rundown of the grumpy little yordle’s stats and exact tooltips, giving us a really good idea of how she’s going to tackle the Rift when she makes her debut very soon. You can check out all of these, plus her splash art, bio, and other details, in the Vex section of the notes below.
Elsewhere this patch, we’ve got a bunch of shiny new skins on the way, bringing fresh looks for Morgana, Yone, Lillia, Tryndamere, and Kayn across the Dawnbringer and Nightbringer skin lines, with lucky Kayn getting a prestige edition, too. We’ve also got our Worlds skin hitting the PBE, with Jarvan IV the champ getting the new look this year. Get a look at these in the champion skins section below.
As for balance changes, so far we’ve got some adjustments for Aatrox, Akali, Poppy, Seraphine, Ryze, and a few others on the PBE – but keep checking back on these notes as we’ll surely see more hit the testing grounds in the coming days, and we’ll post everything you need to know right here when they do.
Without further ado, here’s our rundown of the tentative League of Legends patch 11.19 notes (cheers, Surrenderat20!):

Here’s Vex’s English-language VO:
VEX RELEASE SKIN Vex’s release skin is DAWNBRINGER VEX “Vex finds order in the day’s descent to darkness, and spends her evenings watching her shadow chase the sun below the horizon. A preternaturally sour and unenthusiastic god, she finds the whole chaos and order ‘thing’ very blasé.”

LEAGUE OF LEGENDS PATCH 11.19 – NEW CHAMPION SKINS New champion skins WORLDS 2021 JARVAN IV 1350 RP “Celebrating Worlds 2021 in Shenzhen”
Here’s the WORLDS 2021 JARVAN IV splash art:
DAWNBRINGER MORGANA 1350 RP “Determined to see order triumph over chaos, Morgana has sacrificed much to tip the scales in favour of light. If dawn emerges victorious, she is certain that they can avoid the gods’ destruction and usher in a new age, one free from the corruption of chaos… Perhaps then Yone will see balance for the delusion that it is.”
Here’s the DAWNBRINGER MORGANA splash art:
DAWNBRINGER YONE 1820 RP – LEGENDARY SKIN “Prophecy dictates that the gods will destroy each other, ushering in the end of creation itself – but Yone is determined to defy fate. A half-mortal, half-god born of the clash between chaos and order, Yone wields the power of both night and dawn. He must rally his brethren, bring peace to the gods… or they will all perish”
Here’s the DAWNBRINGER YONE VO, seeing as he’s a Legendary skin:
Here’s the DAWNBRINGER YONE splash art:
NIGHTBRINGER LILLIA 1350 RP “Steward of nightmares, demon of dreams, Lillia revels in twisted fantasias that mortify mortal minds. Though she dallies in the war between order and chaos, she rarely joins the fray herself; she has a garden to tend to, after all, sowing seeds of terror and watching them bloom”
Here’s the NIGHTBRINGER LILLIA splash art:
NIGHTBRINGER TRYNDAMERE 1350 RP “A fiendish god of rage and battle, Tryndamere embodies the moment when war descends into bloodied frenzy. Peace is anathema, but perhaps Yone’s crusade presents an opportunity… After all, to Tryndamere, chaos is best when it is born of order’s decay”
Here’s the NIGHTBRINGER TRYNDAMERE splash art:
NIGHTBRINGER KAYN 1350 RP “Rhaast was once an archon of light, a beacon of order… and now he is little more than a weapon in the hands of Kayn, an ambitious demi-god of dusk seeking true godhood. The two war within Kayn’s own body, each determined to overthrow the other and lay claim to true divinity.”
