Patch 1.9.42: What to Play

·3 buffed·3 nerfed

The TL;DR

Argus ultimate revamp + new fighter Lukas arrives.

What to play this patch

Argus enjoyers: mandatory play. Fanny nerfs are real but she’s still S-tier. Lukas is the debut window — pick before the nerfs come.

The meta shift

Argus receives a complete ultimate redesign, shifting identity from split-push to teamfight carry via the new "Eternal Evil" transformation. Lukas debuts as a new Fighter. Rose Gold Meteor gets a fundamental rework into a hybrid-defense item via the new Dragon Scale passive.
