Immediately after setting the version of the World Championship tournament, the publisher League of Legends has embarked on improving update 12.19. This edit brings the community a lot of fun with many unique trends. Let’s take a look at 5 champions with new styles for players to explore.
5. Nasus
In version 12.19, Nasus got a mutant power boost. Specifically, Riot Games has been too fond of “Dog God” when they raised the range of Q when activating the ultimate. Moreover, the ability Aging (W) provides a very strong slowing effect, making the opponent seem to be pinned in place. In addition, the ultimate move Desert Rage (R) increases Nasus’s size, giving him a wider range of health burns than before.
Nasus is the most favored general in version 12.19
All of the above factors help Nasus excel at version 12.19. This champion skyrocketed his win rate, from approximately 50% to over 52%; ranked among the top generals in the arena of justice. From all the above parameters, Riot Games wants to remind the community that: “Take advantage of the power of Nasus right away before it’s too late”. In the pre-season, tank items are prioritized to upgrade, Nasus will definitely be a target from the balanced team.
The meta of “National Teacher” is back
4. Malphite magic power
Malphite map in the direction of magical power (AP) has been widely used by the Vietnamese community. They play this champion in the mid, top and support positions, but they don’t follow the parry style, but always aim for the way to build equipment that makes the opponent “evaporate” in the fastest way. With a set of moves, Malphite AP can see off the opponent in less than 1 second, creating a certain pressure.
Now, Riot Games has given Malphite the ability to push lane with the cone effect of Lava Fist (W). This effect interacts with the magic power stat, effectively supporting the Meteor Shard during the laning phase. In addition, the ultimate also increases the interaction with magic stats by 10%, making it easier for players to be “Magicians”. Malphite AP will now be played in top, mid, and support positions. Malphite’s best Mythical equipment is the Shadow Scythe or the Eternal Ice Staff, the latter of which depends on the style and situation of the match.
3. Blitzcrank magic power
After the updates in patch 12.19, Blitzcrank was quite weak in the jungle but extremely strong with an AP style in the support role. Jungle Blitzcrank has a certain pressure but the mutation factor is not high, the clearing speed is not outstanding, the late game influence is also weak compared to other champions. Therefore, Blitzcrank goes to the jungle for entertainment purposes, and if it is to carry the team, the player should choose other more suitable options.
Blitzcrank is a bit weak in the jungle but becomes a bug in the support position
However, with a series of changes in favor of Blitzcrank, this champion is dominating bot lane with nearly 54% win rate. At the moment, players are also gearing up for Blitzcrank to take advantage of the changes coming from Riot Games. Specifically, Blitzcrank’s mythical equipment includes: Shurelya Crown or Eternal Ice Staff, then players can use support equipment. If you still want to play in a disruptive way, equipment like Zhonya Hourglass, Cosmic Engine, Calamity Sword, … is a better choice.
2. Garen Crit (Striking)
Garen has been greatly strengthened by Riot Games in this version 12.19. Specifically, they increase the power of Judgment (E) which interacts with the player’s attack rate. If you build a rampage, a set of Demacia Strength’s moves can send an opponent to the countdown board in a short time, even without using the ultimate.
Violent Garen – a trend worth trying in version 12.19
Garen’s novel gameplay is highly entertaining, helping players aim for dominance in the laning phase, strong in low-key combat situations. This item building direction is quite weak at the end of the game, especially when participating in teamfights. The way to build Garen Violent is quite simple, players will use Wind Spirit Bow or Death Crossbow, then use Death Reminder and Infinity Sword. The last two items will be more about solving the game and depending on the match situation.
1. Syndra remake
Syndra has been tweaked by Riot Games to better match the rhythm of the game. After version 12.10, this champion has fallen behind because the publisher has increased the resistance of all champions. Now, Syndra’s kit will favor the mid-game, requiring players to collect shards to enhance skills. Therefore, the Dark Queen needs a level, can’t be as strong at the beginning of the game as before.
In addition, Syndra has a distinctly different set of functions than the previous version. Q will now deal main damage, W will support Q and contribute some of the crowd control, E will now take over the main crowding effect. Therefore, the Dark Queen will now max out Q and W, E only raises 1 point before level 13. Although not appreciated in terms of power, Syndra is still worth experiencing at this 12.19 patch. .
