League Classic Patch 26.19
44 confirmed · 31 champion · 7 system · 5 item · 1 roster · checked 2026-09-23
Four champions arrived on September 23, 2026: Fizz, Graves, Nami and Nautilus. Graves plays his pre-2015 kit as a bot lane carry, and Fizz keeps the missing-health bleed on his W passive that the 2016 rework removed.
Three items are back because the first Council vote asked for them: Cloak and Dagger, Moonflair Spellblade and Zz’Rot Portal. The first two share their 35% Tenacity with Mercury’s Treads and Zephyr. The jungle timers and river critters from the same vote have not shipped yet.
Fiora took the largest nerf: Blade Waltz fell from 160/330/500 to 125/255/385 base damage, with a longer cooldown at ranks 1 and 2. Morgana and Twisted Fate came down too. Akali, Galio, Kassadin, Poppy and Shyvana went up, and Kassadin’s Riftwalk reaches 700 units again.
The second Council vote opened with the patch and runs for seven days. It asks about six areas; one is which kit comes back next.
