What Riot Confirmed About Set 19

- Launch patch: all Set 19 content starts with Patch 19.1.
- True Damage trait: players can swap sides “like you’d swap a record during a set.” A-side plays for win streaks. B-side plays for loss streaks.

- Two more champions and traits remain teased but unrevealed.

Standalone TFT Client Changes Around Set 19
The Set 19 window overlaps with a new TFT client era. Key patch milestones:

| 18.7 | Leaderboards return. Friends are easier to add to lobbies. Players can switch between solo and party lobbies. |
| 19.1 (Set 19 launch) | Tour Collection goes live with the set. |
| After launch | End-of-game sharing for comps and team codes, in-client previews of Tacticians and Arenas, improved lobby visuals, PC homescreen UX scaling. |
Switching between the Rift (or ARAM) and the Convergence stays available from the new client.
