Many additional champion updates have made their way to the League of Legends PBE patch 12.19 cycle as Riot Games looks to change the meta once again.

Some of the biggest highlights of the upcoming updates are the buffs that the off-meta builds will receive and the mid-scope update that the developers are planning for Syndra.

However, with the latest batch of PBE changes, it seems like Nasus will also receive a significant number of buffs when the official update goes live next week.

Additionally, Ekko will be receiving some quality-of-life updates, while nerfs will be hitting Master Yi and Skarner.

Before going into the list of changes that the League of Legends developers have introduced on the PBE server, it’s important to note that the tweaks are tentative as of this writing. Riot Games will first test them out in the PBE server before officially shipping them with the 12.19 patch, which is due next week.

Hence, there might be a great disparity between what is listed below and what players will actually see in the official patch release.
