The list of champions that are getting buffed is as follows:
Renekton has traditionally been the safest top lane pick over the past couple of seasons in professionalLeague of Legends. He has seen a significant win rate drop since the nerfs to his Cull the Meek (W) back in patch 11.18. It seems as though Riot’s intentions were to nerf Renekton so that he does not get picked during the ongoingLeague of Legends2021 World Championship, making the top lane meta much more interesting. Renekton could be one of the champions to usethe new First Strike keystoneas it perfectly fits his aggressive all-in playstyle.

The followingLeague of Legendschampions will receive a nerf in the next patch:
Qiyana and Graves have been highly contested picks in this year’s Worlds, so these nerfs don’t come as a big surprise. Both of these champions have a very high skill ceiling meaning that mastering them would definitely increase players' chances to climb ranks, especially withchanges toLeague of Legends' ranking system.
The nerf to Kha’Zix’s damage potential will definitely impact his ability to one-shot squishy enemy champions which is usually one of his core strengths that made himone of the worst champions to play against. Players who wanted to pick up this assassin in the Jungle should probably wait for a couple of patches as there currently are similar champions that do the same job more efficiently.
