Bard

Passive maximum Chime stacks increased, stack duration increased. W now stacks charges, cooldown increased, shrine charge time to full heal decreased.

In this patch we have some nice quality of life changes for everyone’s favorite Meep collector. Our goal with these changes is to make Bard’s W feel better to use (for both himself and allies) while the passive changes should strengthen his fantasy as a roaming champion, especially when traversing large distances.

---

Passive - Traveler’s Call

• Maximum Chime Stacks: 5 ⇒ 10
• Chime Stack Duration: 7 seconds ⇒ 20 seconds

---

W - Caretaker’s Shrine

• newStacking Shrines: Caretaker’s Shrine now accumulates charges over time up to a maximum of 2 charges.
• Cooldown/Stack Charge Time: 14 seconds ⇒ 18 seconds
• Shrine Charge Time to Full Heal: 10 seconds ⇒ 5 seconds
• Shrine Movement Speed Bonus: 30% decaying over 1.5 seconds ⇒ 20/22.5/25/27.5/30% (+0.05% AP) decaying over 1.5 seconds

Gwen

Health growth increased. Passive damage to monsters increased.

Gwen jungle (Gwungle) is in a pretty sad spot right now. Gwen top also has some room for extra power, but Gwen jungle needs a bunch. So this patch we're taking a heavy swing into bringing Gwen jungle back as a viable magic damage carry option. Thousand Cuts is not only applied per basic attack but also on each hit of her Q, so this damage cap increase represents a substantial increase in her damage to monsters. The passive buff walks back the jungle nerf from 12.13, which should hit the magnitude we want for jungle power. Our goals are to retain top Gwen as the... top Gwen, but to have jungle be a viable alternate role.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 109 ⇒ 115

---

Passive - Thousand Cuts

• Magic Damage to Monsters: 6 (+10% AP) ⇒ 10 (+15% AP)

Irelia

R cooldown decreased.

Irelia isn’t currently finding much consistent success, even in higher levels of play where she usually excels. To give her some power back without directly buffing her damage, we'll be reducing the cooldown of her ultimate. It's currently quite high, and decreasing the cooldown should give her more windows of opportunity to all-in her opponents.

---

R - Vanguard’s Edge

• Cooldown: 140/120/100 seconds ⇒ 125/105/85 seconds

Jarvan IV

Passive damage decreased.

Jarvan IV is performing very well, as he got a sizable buff from the Shojin and Goredrinker changes last patch. His most common later slot purchases are Frozen Heart, Spirit Visage, and Guardian Angel which enable him to be quite durable and still deal plenty of damage. This is partially due to his passive, so we'll be nerfing it to tone down his damage in a way that still incentivizes him to build AD.

---

Passive - Martial Cadence

• Additional Physical Damage on Basic Attacks: 8% of target’s current health ⇒ 6% of target’s current health

Kassadin

R AP ratio increased.

We've seen players ask about Kassadin's state after his accidental buff back in 13.15 and wanted to take some time here to address this. While the change wasn't intended, we were aware of this change immediately after it went live and decided that we are comfortable with his new power level.

---

R - Riftwalk

• Magic Damage: 70/90/110 (+40% AP) (+2% maximum mana) ⇒ 70/90/110 (+60% AP) (+2% maximum mana)

Kayn

Passive Darkin healing adjusted. Darkin R damage decreased.

Last patch we attempted to nerf both Shadow Assassin and Darkin Kayn. While his numbers went down, we also buffed one of Darkin Kayn’s key items, which means we only achieved our goals on one of his two forms. This patch, we're making good on our goals to weaken his Darkin form. It's worth noting that a Kayn who's doing well transforms around level 8, and the old version of his Darkin passive scaled from level 1. This change makes the healing more clear and ultimately nerfs his late game.

---

Passive - The Darkin Scythe

• Darkin Bonus: Rhaast - Healing: 20-30% (based on level) of physical damage dealt to champions ⇒ 25% of physical damage dealt to champions

---

R - Umbral Trespass

• Darkin Version Damage Dealt: 15% (+13% per 100 bonus AD) of target’s maximum health ⇒ 15% (+10% per 100 bonus AD) of target’s maximum health (Note: still heals for 65% of the tooltip damage)

Kennen

E energy cost decreased. R cooldown now decreases with rank.

Kennen hasn’t been very shocking in solo queue, so we’re looking to get him into a better spot this patch. We'll be buffing his uptime instead of his damage, as he already deals a reasonable amount of it. Firstly, we'll be decreasing the energy cost of his E. Since he maxes it last, it's left at the initial cost of 100 energy for a large portion of the game. Decreasing the energy cost should allow Kennen to use it more frequently to shove waves, trade, engage, and escape. Secondly, we'll be reducing the late game cooldown of his ultimate, as Kennen heavily relies on it to be impactful during teamfights.

---

E - Lightning Rush

• Energy Cost: 100/95/90/85/80 ⇒ 80 at all ranks

---

R - Slicing Maelstrom

• Cooldown: 120 seconds at all ranks ⇒ 120/100/80 seconds

Rell

E bonus movement speed decreased.

Rell has been quite strong recently. In Pro play, she's been played equally as a support and a jungler, while in solo queue she's primarily been a support. However, even if she’s not as popular in the jungle at the moment, we do plan on continuing to support her viability there. That said, she's deserving of nerfs right now and there's no way to lower her support power level without hitting the jungle as well. It's important to us that Rell lives up to her fantasy as the fastest support champion, but right now the counterplay is basically, "Do you have Headbutt or Flay?" and we'd like to soften that somewhat.

---

E - Full Tilt

• Bonus Movement Speed (Away from Enemies): 15/17.5/20/22.5/25% ⇒ 12/14/16/18/20%
• Bonus Movement Speed (Towards Enemies): 30/35/40/45/50% ⇒ 24/28/32/36/40%

Senna

Passive critical strike ratio reduction removed. W now applies passive to all enemies caught in the AoE.

Way back when Senna was released, we incorporated a critical strike ratio reduction as she was expected to do too well with crit items. However, in the current state of the game Senna is actually considerably weaker when opting to itemize crit. Now that we don’t have reservations with Senna being too powerful when building crit, we’re comfortable removing this penalty from her kit. We’re also including a passive application buff to her W as a nice feels good change for when you’re able to land the snare on multiple enemies.

---

Passive - Absolution

• removedCritical Strike Ratio Reduction: No longer reduces critical strike damage by 8.5%

---

W - Last Embrace

• Area of Effect Effect: Enemies hit with Last Embrace’s AoE snare are now afflicted with a stack of Mist from Senna’s passive.

Thresh

W shield strength per soul increased.

Thresh is a bit weak right now and is a fan favorite, both to play and to watch. It's important that Thresh is able to participate both as an offensive and defensive support. He's got plenty of kill threat and lock down, so this change is to ensure he has strong defensive outputs, too.

---

W - Dark Passage

• Shield Strength: 50/70/90/110/130 (+1.5 per soul) ⇒ 50/70/90/110/130 (+2 per soul)

Tryndamere

Health growth decreased, base attack damage decreased.

After the changes in the last patch Tryndamere definitely found success with his new attack range. While we did overshoot on release, we believe this is a step in the right direction for him long term because it provides an interesting skill test for players in the form of managing spacing. Previously, this test looked more like “can I get on top of the enemy?” and after that it became a matter of stat checking them. Going forward we’re looking to balance Tryndamere at 175 attack range which should allow us to move power out of pure damage and into other components of his kit that reward smart plays.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 115 ⇒ 108
• Base Attack Damage: 68 ⇒ 66

Xayah

Base health decreased, health growth increased. E cooldown increased.

Xayah has been dominating Pro play recently, and she’s also performing well in high levels of play in solo queue. Since Xayah has the most defensive ultimate out of any of our ADCs, we'll be targeting her early game to give her opponents more of a counterplay window while keeping what makes her unique. To accomplish this, we'll be nerfing her base health and buffing her health growth, which will make her more vulnerable early, but will be a buff to her when she's expected to have more survivability post level 6. We'll also be increasing the early cooldown of her E, as this is an ability that's especially utilized in high levels of play. Our goal here is to reduce its power in lane but ensure it's still just as strong once she purchases Navori.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 660 ⇒ 630
• Health Growth: 102 ⇒ 107

---

E - Bladecaller

• Cooldown: 11/10.5/10/9.5/9 seconds ⇒ 13/12/11/10/9 seconds

Crown of the Shattered Queen

Crown of the Shattered Queen has very few users, with only Azir landing above a 15% pick rate. The changes here are aimed at opening up its roster of users by making it a defensive item against all kinds of dives, not just ones from assassins. Additionally, the item is relatively Pro-skewed, with its strength being focused on preventing short-term burst as Pro teams are very coordinated and can deal their damage in a very short window. Finally, we’re removing some ability power from the item that helped wave clear when passively hitting minion waves but increasing its value in a team fight, which should make it a more reliable item.

• Ability Power: 70 ⇒ 85
• Safeguard: 75% damage reduction for 1.5 seconds ⇒ 40% damage reduction for 2.5 seconds
• removedPoise Break: Crown will no longer provide 10-40 AP while the shield holds

Spear of Shojin

Items in League of Legends will always have a best user. It’s inevitable. What's important is for items to be balanced for a large pool of champions and that outliers are handled as needed. In Spear of Shojin's case, we're overall quite happy with its new shape as a mid-sized fighter item that asks for a longer fight commitment to make use if its ability haste, but it's a little too powerful. This patch we're further lowering the attack damage to reinforce its space as a durable item that's functional as an early purchase.

• Attack Damage: 60 ⇒ 55

Statikk Shiv

Statikk Shiv has been on quite the balance roller coaster this year. Initially it was given a generous AP ratio to incentivize hybrid builds and was given extremely strong wave clear to help it stand out in its niche. Ultimately, both of these aspects were simply too game-warping. This patch, Statikk Shiv’s wave clear is being tuned to be more moderate but it’s receiving compensation as its overall power level is pretty reasonable.

• Attack Damage: 45 ⇒ 50
• Electroshock Minion Damage: 250-350 ⇒ 200

Stormrazor

Stormrazor initially launched overpowered in 13.10, then was tuned down, and then reshaped away from being a scaling burst item. As the dust has settled and players have moved toward the correct builds for their champions, it's become clear that Stormrazor is a bit weak right now. The overall impact of its unique effects is about right, so we're tuning up its stats to be comparable to its competitors.

• Attack Damage: 50 ⇒ 55

Aatrox

Passive damage type adjusted to magic damage. W damage type adjusted to magic damage.

Aatrox’s most common build right now is Duskblade into Serylda's, which leaves him incredibly squishy when it comes to team fights, making Aatrox very feast or famine. Switching his passive and W to magic damage means that lethality and armor penetration won’t scale his damage or self-healing as much since that healing is post-mitigation. Lowering the opportunity cost of tankier options like Goredrinker, Stridebreaker, or Black Cleaver should allow him to play a bit more like a juggernaut and less like a diver-assassin.

---

Passive - Deathbringer Stance

• Damage Type: Physical ⇒ Magic

---

W - Infernal Chains

• Damage Type: Physical ⇒ Magic

Akshan

Health growth increased, armor growth increased, attack damage growth decreased.

Overall champion durability, especially for squishies, has fallen somewhat over the past year. While still higher than 12.9 (right before the Durability Update last year), we've lost about half of the gains from that patch on marksmen specifically. Not all champions have been affected, but some felt this durability loss much more than others. Akshan, Quinn, and Samira have changes this patch to help remedy this, while Yasuo and Yone had them earlier this year.

Akshan's builds have moved away from the slightly tankier on-hit builds that included Wit's End and Shieldbow. He's found new successful builds to use, which is fine, but his combats now resolve very quickly. We're looking to slow down these fights just a little bit, so both him and his opponents have some breathing room.

The changes here are pretty small. Ultimately, less base AD gives him fewer crit multipliers, which raises the relative value of on-hit damage like Blade of the Ruined King and Wit's End.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 104 ⇒ 107
• Armor Growth: 4.2 ⇒ 4.7
• Attack Damage Growth: 3.5 ⇒ 3

Blitzcrank

Base health and magic resistance increased, base attack speed and attack speed ratio decreased. Passive shield value adjusted. W mana cost decreased, bonus attack speed decreased. E AD ratio increased, mana cost decreased, bonus damage to non-champions removed. R passive damage increased.

Historically, Blitzcrank has always been a relatively straightforward champion which is something both we and players appreciated about them, and we want to focus on that. To that end, we’ve decided to roll back the changes we made last year to help Blitz play in the jungle. Throughout the past year it’s proven difficult to have Blitz succeed in both roles, and even when they were viable in the jungle it turned out players weren’t that interested in playing him there. Going forward we’ll be focusing on balancing Blitz in their most popular position—support.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 633 ⇒ 650
• Magic Resistance: 28 ⇒ 32
• Base Attack Speed: 0.65 ⇒ 0.625
• Attack Speed Ratio: 0.7 ⇒ 0.625

---

W - Overdrive

• Mana Cost: 85 ⇒ 75
• Bonus Attack Speed: 30/43/56/69/82% ⇒ 30/40/50/60/70%

---

E - Power Fist

• Bonus Physical Damage: 75% AD (+25% AP) ⇒ 100% AD (+25% AP)
• Mana Cost: 40 ⇒ 25
• removedBonus Damage to Non-Champions: E no longer deals a bonus 150% AD (+125% AP) to non-champions

---

R - Static Field

• Passive Damage: 50/100/150 (+50% AP) ⇒ 50/100/150 (+50% AP) (+2% Maximum Mana)

Elise

Passive bonus magic damage and healing on basic attacks increased. E stun duration increased.

Elise may be the Spider Queen, but she definitely isn’t the queen of the jungle at the moment. Her ability to clear is currently weaker than many other junglers, often taking longer and finishing with less health which in turn make her first gank (where she should excel) weaker than it should be. We're also looking to adjust her in later stages of the game so that she still has strong pick potential when her other strengths have fallen off.

Passive - Spider Queen

• Bonus Magic Damage on Basic Attacks: 10/20/30/40 (+20% AP) ⇒ 12/22/32/42 (+20% AP)
• On-Hit Healing on Basic Attacks: 4/6/8/10 (+8% AP) ⇒ 6/8/10/12 (+8% AP)

---

E - Cocoon

• Stun Duration: 1.6/1.7/1.8/1.9/2 seconds ⇒ 1.6/1.8/2/2.2/2.4 seconds

Gnar

Mega Gnar Q base damage increased. Mega Gnar W base damage increased.

Gnar has been struggling to find success in both solo queue and Pro play. In order to strengthen his laning phase, we'll be increasing the base damage on his Mega Q and W so that he can all-in his opponents and translate those trades into leads more often.

---

Q - Boulder Toss (Mega Gnar)

• Physical Damage: 25/70/115/160/205 (+140% AD) ⇒ 45/90/135/180/225 (+140% AD)

---

W - Wallop (Mega Gnar)

• Physical Damage: 25/55/85/115/145 (+100% AD) ⇒45/75/105/135/165 (+100% AD)

Hecarim

Base mana, base mana regeneration, and mana regeneration growth increased, mana growth decreased. Q mana cost decreased. W mana cost decreased, omnivamp decreased.

Hecarim's current builds are very squishy. He's starting to adopt Spear of Shojin, which is great, but is still building Duskblade and Manamune. First up, we’re trying to lower his reliance on Manamune. If he continues to build it, it’ll provide less damage. If he doesn’t build it, his mana issues won’t be nearly as severe. By not having to build Manamune, he should be open to buy other fighter items instead.

Additionally, Hecarim’s current best item is Spear of Shojin, which is getting buffed this patch. We expect him to gain quite a bit of power just from systemic changes, so we’re tagging him with a pre-emptive nerf to his self-healing. He’ll more than make up for it with the bonus health he’ll receive from other items, but we’ll make sure he lands in a good spot and follow up as necessary.

---

Base Stats

• Base Mana: 277 ⇒ 280
• Mana Growth: 60 ⇒ 40
• Base Mana Regeneration: 6.5 ⇒ 7
• Mana Regeneration Growth: 0.6 ⇒ 0.8

---

Q - Rampage

• Mana Cost: 30 at all ranks ⇒ 28/26/24/22/20

---

W - Spirit of Dread

• Mana Cost: 50/60/70/80/90 ⇒ 50/55/60/65/70
• Omnivamp: 25% (+2% of 100 bonus AD) of damage dealt ⇒ 20% of damage dealt (Note: this is still post-mitigation damage dealt)

Kayn

W AD ratio decreased.

Kayn has been an absolute terror for a while now, so we’re taking a pretty big swing at lowering his power level. Right now, Shadow Assassin outperforms Darkin Kayn, especially at higher skill brackets, so we’re targeting nerfs that affect Shadow Assassin more. Ultimately, his W doesn’t have a ton of counter-play for his opponents, so reducing its power will allow us to address both lower his frustrating poke and hit our goals regarding his two forms.

W - Blade's Reach

• Physical Damage: 90/135/180/225/270 (+130% bonus AD) ⇒ 85/130/175/220/265 (+110% bonus AD)

---

QoL Change

• New Me, New Health and Mana Bar: Kayn now restores himself to maximum health and mana upon transforming into Shadow Assassin or Darkin Slayer. (Note: This feature is disabled on ARAM.)

Kha'Zix

Q AD ratio decreased.

Kha’Zix, like Kayn, has been an overperforming jungler for the last couple months. He can use a small nerf, which we’re delivering here to his Q. We’re keeping Kha’Zix’s poke from Void Spikes at full power, considering players can hide behind minions or body-block for their teammates. Instead, we’re going after a bit of his all-in power. He should still have plenty of damage, he just won’t spike quite as hard when ahead in gold.

---

Q - Taste Their Fear

• Physical Damage: 70/95/120/145/170 (+115% bonus AD) ⇒ 70/95/120/145/170 (+110% bonus AD)

Kindred

E slow and percent missing health damage decreased.

Despite our best efforts, Kindred have maintained a relative stranglehold on high-level solo queue. This time we’re aiming at their gank power, which should be a win for their opponents all around. Additionally, with less “free” base damage in their kit we expect Kindred to build a bit more damage-focused (instead of largely tanky options like Sterak’s Gage).

---

E - Mounting Dread

• Physical Damage: 80/100/120/140/160 (+80% bonus AD) (+8% (+0.5% per Mark Mark) target’s missing health) ⇒ 80/100/120/140/160 (+80% bonus AD) (+5% (+0.5% per Mark Mark) target’s missing health)
• Slow: 50% (+5% per 100 AP) for 1 second ⇒ 30% (+5% per 100 AP) for 1 second

Lux

Base mana regeneration decreased. Passive damage increased. Q cooldown now decreased with rank. E base damage decreased.

In this patch we’re aiming to bolster up Lux as a mid lane damage carry while being cautious around over-buffing Lux support. We have some mana regeneration nerfs to keep support Lux in check, but in exchange we’re giving her a scaling cooldown on her Q and more damage in her passive which should give skilled Lux players more opportunities to make bigger (light) waves on the Rift.

---

Base Stats

• Base Mana Regeneration: 8 ⇒ 7

---

Passive - Illumination

• Magic Damage: 20-190 (based on level) (+20% AP) ⇒ 30-200 (based on level) (+25% AP)

---

Q - Light Binding

• Cooldown: 11 seconds at all ranks ⇒ 11/10.5/10/9.5/9 seconds

---

E - Lucent Singularity

• Magic Damage: 70/120/170/220/270 (+80% AP) ⇒ 65/115/165/215/265 (+80% AP)

Naafiri

Base health decreased. Passive cooldown increased, packmates now take bonus damage from melee attacks. Q damage and heal decreased. E damage decreased.

Even with the nerfs last patch, Naafiri is still holding strong. In this patch we’re looking to reduce the uptime of her packmates. This should make killing them in lane a more viable strategy that opens up more breathing room, and force Naafiri to preserve them a bit more. We’ve also made it easier for melee champions to clear the pack, which helps offset the fact that it’s much easier to land both Qs on a melee target.

Similarly, we're reducing the poke and sustain of Q2, while keeping its execute power intact. It's still worth hitting both Qs, but the value on high-health targets won't be quite as prominent.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 650 ⇒ 635

---

Passive - We are more

• Cooldown: 25-10 (based on level) ⇒ 30-15 (based on level)
• newDown Doggo: Naafiri’s Packmates will now take 100% bonus damage from melee attacks

Q - Darkin Daggers

• Recast Minimum Damage: 35/50/65/80/95 (+70% bonus AD) ⇒ 30/45/60/75/90 (+40% bonus AD)
• Recast Maximum Damage: 70/100/130/160/190 (+70% bonus AD) ⇒ 60/90/100/130/180 (+70% bonus AD)
• Recast Heal Amount: 45/65/85/105/125 (+40% bonus AD) ⇒ 45/60/75/90/105 (+40% bonus AD)

---

E - Eviscerate

• Dash Physical Damage: 35/50/65/80/95 (+60% bonus AD) ⇒ 35/50/65/80/95 (+50% bonus AD)
• Flurry Physical Damage: 65/100/135/170/205 (+90% bonus AD) ⇒ 65/100/135/170/205 (+80% bonus AD)

Orianna

Health growth increased. W base damage increased.

Orianna has been a few steps behind on her tango routine recently, especially during her mid-game power spike. We want to preserve her current early game weakness while letting her feel a bit more powerful when she's at her strongest and consistently hitting enemies with her W.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 105 ⇒ 110

---

W - Command: Dissonance

• Magic Damage: 60/105/150/195/240 (+70% AP) ⇒ 70/120/170/220/270 (+70% AP)

Quinn

Health growth increased. Q base damage decreased. E base damage decreased.

Earlier (check the Akshan context above) we mentioned that several champions lost a meaningful amount of durability over the last year. Quinn is one such outlier who has moved from skirmisher-style builds (Wit's End, Blade of the Ruined King, the old Bloodthirster) into full-offensive builds, frequently opting to build lethality.

We'd like to slow down Quinn's combat pattern and get her back to relying on attack speed and less on a kill-or-be-killed burst, while also giving her enough baseline durability to not get one-shot when someone closes the gap onto her.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 99 ⇒ 107

Q - Blinding Assault

• Physical Damage: 20/45/70/95/120 (+80/90/100/110/120% AD) (+50% AP) ⇒ 20/40/60/80/100 (+80/90/100/110/120% AD) (+50% AP)

---

E - Vault

• Physical Damage: 40/70/100/130/160 (+20% bonus AD) ⇒ 40/65/90/115/140 (+20% bonus AD)

Samira

Base health increased.

Samira is the final champion in our list of marksmen who lost a lot of durability recently. Without the early Shieldbow, she's been feeling really squishy. She should certainly have some risk for her high-kill, reset-oriented gameplay, and if she wants to stall out her damage to buy Shieldbow second, she's more than welcome to do so. But for now, we're giving her some baseline durability to let her be a bit safer when she plays aggressively in the early game.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 600 ⇒ 630

Tryndamere

Attack range increased. Attack damage decreased

Tryndamere has been having a hard time striking fear into the hearts of his opponents, so we’re looking to give him power in a way that brings him more in line with more modern melee champions. Quite a few other melee skirmishers also currently have 175 range (Trundle, Master Yi, and Darius to name a few), so we expect this to feel more intuitive for players. That said, we’re aware that an additional 50 range is a lot, so we’re preemptively nerfing Trynadmere’s base attack damage which should also reduce his ability to gain leads via level 1 and 2 all-ins. We’ll be keeping a close eye on Tryndamere following this update though.

---

Base Stats

• Attack Range: 125 ⇒ 175
• Attack Damage: 72 ⇒ 68

Twisted Fate

Q damage increased.

Twisted Fate hasn’t been doing too hot in solo queue and hasn’t really had much presence in Pro play, so we’re looking to tilt the odds in his favor a bit more. With this buff we want to increase the amount of individual power in TF’s kit by putting more damage into his Q which he heavily relies on, especially during later stages of the game where he can't walk up to his opponents too closely. Gone are the days of being memed as a yellow card. Poke TF is here!

---

Q - Wild Cards

• Magic Damage: 60/100/140/180/220 (+80% AP) ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220 (+90% AP)

Vex

Q base damage increased. W cooldown decreased.

Vex has been feeling more downcast than usual, so we’re looking to add a bit of pep to her step (but not too much). This patch we’re trying to buff up her early spells without amplifying her already sharp matchups, instead of touching anything that requires the enemies to be dashing, which she already does well at fighting.

---

Q - Mistral Bolt

• Magic Damage: 60/105/150/195/240 (+70% AP) ⇒ 70/115/160/205/250 (+70% AP)

---

W - Personal Space

• Cooldown: 20/18/16/14/12 seconds ⇒ 16/15/14/13/12 seconds

Vi

Passive shield health scaling increased. W cooldown reduction increased. E cooldown decreased. R damage decreased.

Vi has certainly been on a bit of a balance rollercoaster this year. Right now she’s in a very weak spot for solo queue play and the 13.13 nerfs removed most of her Pro presence. What we’re trying to do with Vi is steer her into mid-sized fighter builds and away from building either full tank or full assassin. To that end, we’re increasing the value of her using basic attacks and W as a primary tanking tool.

Her E change should make it less important to max the ability, meaning players can move into maxing W second instead and the R nerf is aimed to have a bit more impact in Pro play than solo queue.

---

Passive - Blast Shield

• Shield Strength: 10% of Vi’s maximum health ⇒ 12% of Vi’s maximum health

---

W - Denting Blows

• Passive Cooldown Reduction: 3 seconds ⇒ 4 seconds

---

E - Relentless Force

• Cooldown: 14/12.5/11/9.5/8 seconds ⇒ 12/11/10/9/8 seconds

---

R - Cease and Desist

• Physical Damage: 150/325/500 (+110% bonus AD) ⇒ 150/275/400 (+90% bonus AD)

Xerath

Base mana regeneration decreased. Passive cooldown refunded on unit kill increased. W mana cost increased.

Xerath support is currently performing very well in solo queue, poking the competition down until they have to reluctantly recall. While the 13.14 buffs had a larger impact for Xerath mid, they still increased his win rate as a support (where he was already quite powerful). Since his mid win strength is currently in a reasonable spot, we’ll be nerfing his access to mana in a way that targets him as a support and doesn’t affect mid quite as much.

---

Base Stats

• Base Mana Regeneration: 8 ⇒ 6.85

---

Passive - Mana Surge

• Cooldown Refunded on Unit Kill: 2 seconds ⇒ 2.5 seconds

---

W - Eye of Destruction

• Mana Cost: 70/80/90/100/110 ⇒ 80/90/100/110/120

Xin Zhao

Passive heal adjusted.

Xin Zhao's builds are usually in the light fighter space, with common items including Eclipse and Blade of the Ruined King. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but we want to make sure he feels supported by heavier items like Trinity Force and Black Cleaver. By adding an HP ratio, he's more likely to skip the really lethal items like Collector and Essence Reaver, instead opting for tankier options.

The math on Determination works out to being a strict buff with no item purchases at all, a nerf if every item gives AD and no health, and a buff with even a single hybrid durability item like Trinity Force, Goredrinker, or Black Cleaver.

---

Passive - Determination

• Heal on Third Stack: 6-74 (based on level) (+10% AD) (+65% AP) ⇒ 3/3.5/4% (levels 1/6/11) (+65% AP) of maximum health

Zoe

Base health regeneration increased. Magic resistance reduction increased.

In this patch we want to give Zoe a few tools to make her easier to play. We’re removing the scaling need on the MR shred, which effectively doesn't do much before resists are built anyways. We’re also upping her base health regeneration since Zoe is a very squishy champion that has to opt into close ranges early on to trade reasonably. This should allow her to be more consistent in lane.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health Regeneration: 6.5 ⇒ 7.5

---

E - Sleepy Trouble Bubble

• Magic Resistance Reduction: 20/22.5/25/27.5/30% ⇒ 30% at all ranks

Bloodthirster

Bloodthirster is just slightly over-performing as a greedy purchase for winning players. It's proven to be in pretty solid shape for an item and we're happy that players can't easily stack two shields in the same build, but it just needs a small tuning pass. The rule update here aligns it with Absolute Focus, which is nice for consistency's sake so that these effects both leave and return at the same time.

• Engorge Health Requirement for Bonus AD: above 50% health ⇒ above 70% health

Duskblade of Draktharr

Our goals for Duskblade this patch are to make the passive the same as other untargetable effects (minus the tower blocking) which should help make Duskblade untargetability interactions a bit more intuitive for players. We’re also removing the damage immunity from the passive as we believe that if you have a kill confirmed with something like Ignite, you should still get that kill and it should not be denied by Duskblade.

• removedMore Like the Rest: Nightstalker passive has been changed to functionally match other untargetable effects. Duskblade will still not block towers.
• removedSlippery, but not Invincible: No longer makes the owner immune to damage while untargetable.
• newBut still Slippery: Now destroys incoming non-tower projectiles when triggered.

Evenshroud

Evenshroud is a consistently over-performing support tank mythic and is so strong, we've seen it getting poached cross-class. Its price, stat line, and build path all match Locket, so by process of elimination that means its unique passive must be the overpowered part! Eureka!

• Coruscation Damage Amplification: 10% ⇒ 7%

Goredrinker

Goredrinker is meant to be a heavy fighter item where durability is its primary output. This should be the go-to item for fighters whose goal is to live as long as possible, so raising its slot efficiency and durability should help do that.

• Item Recipe: Ironspike Whip + Caulfield’s Warhammer + Kindlegem ⇒ Ironspike Whip + Phage + Kindlegem (Note: Total cost unchanged)
• Health: 300 ⇒ 400

Immortal Shieldbow

Shieldbow is a little weak in its current state, but we're really happy with cutting it off from being a good first item purchase as it quickly makes champion interaction in lane less meaningful. But if players want to buy it second, it means delaying a high-value option like Infinity Edge, Galeforce, or Quickblades, which is a meaningful opportunity cost. We're comfortable with players making that trade-off decision, so we're amping up the early shield value to make it more enticing a bit sooner. Overall, we’re happy if players more equally consider Shieldbow or Bloodthirster as their crit-lifesteal item of choice.

• Lifeline Shield: 215-500 (levels 11-18) ⇒ 290-500 (levels 11-18)

Spear of Shojin

In this patch, our goal is to make Spear of Shojin a solid middleweight fighter item. Its stat efficiency is receiving a significant buff to open it up to more users, and its unique passive is being heavily buffed before four items. We expect some champions like Hecarim and Jax to be very pleased with this buff and some new champions to take notice. We’ll follow up as needed on any individual balance outliers, but we believe a world where more fighters buy items with 500 HP on them makes for a healthier game overall.

• Item Recipe: Caulfield’s Warhammer + B.F. Sword + Kindlegem ⇒ Caulfield’s Warhammer + Pickaxe + Kindlegem
• Combine Cost: 100 ⇒ 525 (Note: total item cost is unchanged.)
• Attack Damage: 65 ⇒ 60
• Health: 350 ⇒ 500
• Dragonforce: 8 (+8% bonus AD) Haste for Melee Champions / 6 (+6% bonus AD) Haste for Ranged Champions ⇒ 16 (+4% bonus AD) Haste for Melee Champions / 12 (+3% bonus AD) Haste for Ranged Champions (Note: this is a buff before 200 bonus AD.)

Statikk Shiv

In 13.10, the goal behind Statikk Shiv’s AP ratio was to create another hybrid item that would suit champions who wanted to auto-attack and also had AP scaling, somewhat similar to Nashor’s Tooth and the Rageblade of old. For many hybrid-building champions (Kai’Sa, Varus), this ended up being pretty reasonable. However, LeBlanc has made it her go-to item, even after nerfing its interaction with Night Harvester, so Shiv’s synergy with AP builds has to be reduced a bit further.

• Bonus Damage Against Champions: 100-180 (based on level) (+30% AP) ⇒ 100-180 (based on level) (+15% AP)

Stridebreaker

This item is actually quite strong. but doesn't have a lot of core users that are able to use it effectively in its current state. The light buff here gives it more damage but less durability than Goredrinker, though solidly more durability than Trinity Force as an attack speed option.

• Health: 300 ⇒ 375

Future's Market

Future’s Market is simply an overperforming rune and is being consistently picked by junglers, more so than any other role. This change should help balance rune options and very slightly lower jungle power.

• Debt Limit: starts at 145 gold + 5 per minute ⇒ starts at 100 gold + 8 per minute (Note: this is a buff starting at 18 minutes.)

CATCHUP EXPERIENCE

Catchup experience in the jungle has mostly been working as intended but there have been a few unusual cases that have cropped up where it doesn't feel like the enemy is truly behind enough to be getting catchup experience. This is usually due to the way the average level calculation was rounding, so in some cases a player was just barely over two levels down from the average which ended up rounding to three levels below and thus triggering catchup experience. We're shifting the way it rounds to not always round up and thus resolve a lot of these rare cases so it doesn't feel like the enemy jungler is unfairly clawing their way back into the game.

DRAGON PATIENCE

We're adding the patience bar to all of the dragons this patch! Similar to our other objectives, dragons will now have a visual indicator that shows how far they can be leashed; if the dragon is moved outside of this range then its patience bar will begin depleting. We're hoping that this change will clarify the dragons’ range for those less familiar with it to support a more consistent dragon-taking experience.

The only way to get a functioning patience bar and leash indicator was to rebuild the Dragon AI from the ground up, so you’ll see some small differences. This means no more silly behaviors like the Dragon doing jumping squats mid-fight and small differences in leash ranges.

• newImpatient Dragons: Added a patience bar and leashing range indicator to all dragons.

BUFFS

• Anivia: 100% Damage Taken ⇒ 95% Damage Take
• Gnar: 0 Total Attack Speed Increase ⇒ 2.5% Total Attack Speed Increase
• Kennen: 100% Damage Dealt ⇒ 105% Damage Dealt
• Trundle: 95% Healing Done ⇒ 100% Healing Done
• Zilean: 0 Ability Haste ⇒ 10 Ability Haste

Akali

Q energy cost decreased, base damage increased.

Akali isn’t doing too great across multiple skill brackets and could use some sharper and more lethal weapons in her bag of ninja tools. Our goals in this patch are to make Akali’s energy costs less prohibitive during her laning phase and to give her trades more bite to make her opponents second guess trading into this shinobi. Believe it!

---

Q - Five Point Strike

• Energy Cost: 130/115/100/85/70 ⇒ 110/100/90/80/70
• Damage: 40/65/90/115/140 (+65% AD) (+60% AP) ⇒ 45/70/95/120/145 (+65% AD) (+60% AP)

Brand

Passive mana restoration increased. Q AP scaling increased. E AP scaling increased.

Contrary to popular belief, Brand has not been on fire in solo queue, especially in the mid lane. While many players opt to play Brand as a support, we also want to make sure he’s still a viable mid-lane option. To that end, we’ll be increasing the mana restoration on his passive to help him better sustain his mana pools in mid. We’ll also be increasing the AP ratios on his Q and E to better bring out Brand’s primary strength of dealing damage, while not increasing the reasonable amount of damage his W and R already do.

---

Passive - Blaze

• Mana Restoration: 20-40 (based on level) ⇒ 30-50 (based on level)

---

Q - Sear

• Magic Damage: 80/110/140/170/200 (+55% AP) ⇒ 80/110/140/170/200 (+65% AP)

---

E - Conflagration

• Magic Damage: 70/95/120/145/170 (+45% AP) ⇒ 70/95/120/145/170 (+55% AP)

Caitlyn

Passive attacks per Headshot reduced.

Caitlyn has been hurting for a while, and her buffs from the previous patch didn't power her up as much as we had wanted. We still like her caring about auto attacks and crits, but there's only so far we're willing to push individual Headshot damage. So instead, we're providing her with more Headshots!

---

Base Stats

• Attacks per Headshot: 7 ⇒ 6

Ekko

Q initial base damage increased, slow increased early. W base shield value increased.

Ekko has been weak across all skill brackets for some time now, so we’re looking to add some power back into his kit in a way that will benefit him in the mid lane where interacting with him is a bit more meaningful. He’s currently weak to ranged harass (as intended), but we want to make playing him a bit more bearable into those matchups, so we’ll be giving him more poke in the form of a Q1 buff, more slow/chase down potential to use W aggressively, and more base shield strength when using it defensively.

---

Q - Timewinder

• Initial Magic Damage: 60/75/90/105/120 (+30% AP) ⇒ 70/85/100/115/130 (+30% AP)
• Slow: 32/39/46/53/60% ⇒ 40/45/50/55/60%

---

W - Parallel Convergence

• Shield Strength: 70/90/110/130/150 (+150% AP) ⇒ 100/120/140/160/180 (+150% AP)

Karma

Q AP scaling increased, ultimate Q AP scaling increased. R cooldown decreased.

Karma isn’t quite hitting the bar when it comes to scaling offensively as she often has to rely on her shields or her less reliable W to contribute in fights post-laning phase. With these changes we’re looking to give Karma some more reliance on her Q come late game (as AP increases) and give her more reason to Mantra Q.

---

Q - Inner Flame

• Magic Damage: 70/120/170/220/270 (+40% AP) ⇒ 70/120/170/220/270 (+50% AP)
• Ultimate Empowered Q: 35/140/245/350 (+60% AP) &rArr 35/140/245/350 (+70% AP)

---

R - Mantra

• Cooldown: 40/38/36/34 seconds ⇒ 40/37/34/31 seconds

Lucian

Passive on-hit damage increased.

Lucian is an exciting champion and fan favorite, but unfortunately he isn’t performing well at this point in time. We’ll be increasing the base damage of his passive in order to strengthen his role as a lane bully in a way that should still keep him out of solo lanes.

---

Passive - Lightslinger

• Bonus Magic Damage On-Hit: 10 (+15% AD) ⇒ 15 (+15% AD)

Lulu

Health growth increased. Q AP scaling increased. E AP scaling increased.

Since her much needed Pro-skewed nerfs back in patch 13.12, Lulu has had some trouble getting back on her feet. While we’re hesitant to give her power that will make her much stronger in hyper-coordinated play, we do want to give her power back in a way that will benefit those that play her in solo queue. We expect some AP scaling buffs to do the trick here as they’ll give her some more offensive power, but only when she’s able to earn the gold to buy that power.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 88 ⇒ 92

---

Q - Glitterlance

• Magic Damage: 70/105/140/175/210 (+40% AP) ⇒ 70/105/140/175/210 (+50% AP)

---

E - Help, Pix!

• Magic Damage: 80/120/160/200/240 (+40% AP) ⇒ 80/120/160/200/240 (+50% AP)

Malzahar

E damage tick rate increased, minion execute threshold decreased.

In this patch we’re adding some small quality of life changes to Malzahar’s Malefic Visions to address some consistency issues with last hitting using E. While the lower minion execute threshold might look like a nerf, when combined with the faster damage tick rate this should result in players more reliably getting last hits on minions and that sweet, sweet gold.

---

E - Malefic Visions

• Damage Tick Rate: 0.5 seconds ⇒ 0.25 seconds
• Minion Execute Threshold: 15-45 health (based on level) ⇒ 10-30 (based on level)

Milio

Q damage increased. E base shield strength increased.

With Milio nerfed to reduce his pro play presence, we want to introduce some less Pro-skewed buffs that are focused less on team fights where coordination maximizes output. This also gives him the option to take matters into his own hands, maxing Q earlier on and converting AP into even more success. Gold scaling and late-game power tend to be more represented in solo queue than Pro play, where players intentionally fall off of minion waves and turrets to focus more resources on the carries. You deserve that gold, Milio!

---

Q - Ultra Mega Fire Kick

• Magic Damage: 90/135/180/225/270 (+90% AP) ⇒ 80/145/210/275/340 (+120% AP)

---

E - Warm Hugs

• Shield Strength: 60/80/100/120/140 (+25% AP) ⇒ 60/85/110/135/160 (+30% AP)

Naafiri

Base armor, attack damage, and attack speed decreased.

Naafiri has settled a bit stronger than we think is healthy for her long term, especially in top lane, which is roughly on par with mid lane at the moment. The fact that she's consistently able to go toe-to-toe with bruisers in brawls is a signal that her base fighting stats are a tad on the high side. So we're taking aim at both top and mid with these changes, but in a way that’s hitting top a bit harder.

---

Base Stats

• Base Armor: 32 ⇒ 30
• Base Attack Damage: 57 ⇒ 55
• Base Attack Speed: 0.688 ⇒ 0.663

Nidalee

E AD scaling added.

In this patch we’re looking to give AD Nidalee a little help in her cougar form so her swipes pack some punch. We’re not looking to make drastic changes to AD Nid, but just give her a little more support at the time.

---

E - Swipe

• Damage: 80/140/200/260 (+45% AP) ⇒ 80/140/200/260 (+40% bonus AD) (+45% AP)

Rek'Sai

Q damage adjusted

Rek'Sai has been performing far too well ever since her 13.11 update and while she's been tapped down a couple times in previous patches, she's still the absolute queen of the early game and still stronger than she was in 13.9. She simply can't have the level of early dominance she currently has, especially in higher skill brackets where players are better at warding (which she can bypass) and closing out early leads (which she easily secures).

This change of converting Q into Total Attack Damage is a damage nerf until champion level 13, where it turns into a buff, and is also extra incentive to finish maxing Q, since ranks now add functional base damage and gold scaling.

---

Q - Queen's Wrath

• Bonus Physical Damage: 21/27/33/39/45 (+50% bonus AD) ⇒ 34/38/42/46/50% Total AD

Shaco

Base mana regeneration decreased. W mana cost increased.

AP support Shaco has been more of a menace than usual in some skill brackets due to his painfully magical Jack in the Boxes. It’s currently too easy for Shaco to counter multiple champions that want to engage by creating a minefield of boxes in lane (and eventually the enemy jungle), so we want to increase the mana restrictions that prevent him from going on a box planting spree.

---

Base Stats

• Base Mana Regeneration: 7.15 ⇒ 6

---

W - Jack In The Box

• Mana Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 ⇒ 70 at all ranks

Shyvana

W AoE and on-hit damage decreased.

Shyvana gained a lot of power in 13.14 and while she was tapped down in 13.15 and her AP builds are about where they were before, her AD builds have taken off. We'd like to keep AD as her optimal build, but it's just performing too well. This patch, we're weakening her lowest-gameplay skill that only succeeds when she's stat-checking her enemies.

---

W - Burnout

• Damage per Second: 20/32/45/57/70 (+30% Bonus AD) ⇒ 20/30/40/50/60 (+20% Bonus AD)
• On-Hit Damage: 5/8/11.25/14.25/17.5 (+7.5% Bonus AD) ⇒ 5/7/9/11/13 (+5% Bonus AD)

Sylas

Base mana increased.

Regular Sylas players frequently run out of mana as they max W, whereas Pro Sylas's max Q. This buff is primarily intended to reduce how mana gated Sylas is in regular play, but it's also a change Pros will value due to it being a base stat increase.

---

Base Stats

• Base Mana: 310 ⇒ 400

Target Dummy

Legend has it that no champion has ever taken down this foe. It fears nothing. Except bugs. Bugs scare it.

Target Dummy recently threw its Teemo hat into the Arena but so far its performance has been… not so great. In this patch we’re looking to eliminate Target Dummy’s sluggishness by buffing up its Movement Speed, and fixing a few bugs that kept it from being its tankiest self. Also I guess you can test Move Speed effects and high damage spells better or whatever.

---

Base Stats

• Movement Speed: 0 ⇒ 370 (Note: this might be the biggest movement speed buff in League of Legends history.)
• Minimum Health: 100 ⇒ 1 (Note: living life a lot closer to the edge.)

---

Bugfixes

• Hit Me with your Best Shot: The maximum amount of a single instance of damage the Target Dummy can take is no longer 900 and is now the Dummy’s maximum health minus 1.

Tristana

Base armor and armor growth increased, base health and magic resistance decreased.

Tristana has been terrorizing the mid lane in pro play recently, as she's simultaneously a hard-to-gank lane bully and a solid late-game scaling crit marksman. We'd like her to be largely unaffected by these changes in bot lane, where physical damage is more prevalent, but be weaker against mages who should be able to fight back.

---

Base Stats

• Base Armor: 26 ⇒ 30
• Armor Growth: 4.2 ⇒ 4.5
• Base Magic Resistance: 30 ⇒ 28
• Base Health: 670 ⇒ 640

Wukong

Mana regeneration growth increased. Q mana cost decreased. W mana cost decreased.

Wukong has been a highly contested Pro jungler this season, but he hasn’t been performing well in solo queue. In order to put power back into his kit without much Pro play risk (he’s had low presence for the past two patches), we’ll be reducing the mana costs of his abilities to increase his trade frequency, which should help him in the top lane significantly more than jungle.

---

Base Stats

• Mana Regeneration Growth: 0.65 ⇒ 0.8

---

Q - Crushing Blow

• Mana Cost: 40 ⇒ 20

---

W - Warrior Trickster

• Mana Cost: 80/70/60/50/40 ⇒ 60/55/50/45/40

Axiom Arc

Our reworked Axiom Arc changes weren’t quite enough to put this new item on the radar for users, so we’re going a bit riskier with the ultimate cooldown refund in hopes it’ll help the item find its place on the Rift. We’ll be keeping a close eye on this change to ensure it’s shaping up as we hope, but we’ll make more changes if necessary.

---

• Ultimate Cooldown Refunded: 5% (+40% Lethality) ⇒ 10% (+40% Lethality)

Duskblade of Draktharr

Duskblade frequently finds itself in the hands of fighter champions which is something we’re looking to curb this patch, however, it's also overperforming on assassins in general. The low cooldown on its active is a big reason fighters like this item, so we’re opting to increase the cooldown substantially to discourage them from picking it up, while reducing the missing health damage to bring the item’s overall strength down (which we’ll be offsetting for assassins by buffing the lethality legendaries this patch).

---

• Cooldown: 10 seconds ⇒ 30 seconds
• Missing Health Damage: 20% ⇒ 18%

Prowler's Claw

Prowler’s Claw’s current cooldown is a bit too long for a lot of users that would like to pick up this item, so we’re lowering the cooldown to help make it a bit more accessible for these champions while slightly increasing the damage it can provide to make it a more worthwhile purchase.

---

• Cooldown: 10 seconds ⇒ 5 seconds
• Damage: 85 (melee)/65 (ranged) (+45 (melee)/30 (ranged) % bonus AD) ⇒ 85 (melee)/65 (ranged) (55 (melee) /35 (ranged) % bonus AD)

Serpent's Fang

---

As far as its assassin users are concerned, Serpent’s Fang is sitting at a reasonable power level but remains a niche purchase, so we’d like to give it some more generic power to help it break out of the "only purchase versus shielders" position it’s found itself in. A small lethality buff should help this item be a bit more desirable for any assassins looking to shred shields.

---

• Lethality: 12 ⇒ 15

Umbral Glaive

Umbral Glaive isn’t as strong as it needs to be, often letting down the champions that this item naturally synergizes with (hello Pyke). We’re giving it a small lethality buff to make it slightly more dangerous in the hands of its users.

---

• Lethality: 10 ⇒ 13

Having tapped down a lot of the powerful Arena competitors last patch, in this patch we’re focusing more on bolstering up champions that haven’t been able to find as much success in the Arena. We’re still tackling some of the strongest champions, Augments, and items with some nerfs, but primarily focused on giving weak ones some more power to compete.

It’s no secret that some players use surrender votes to project their dissatisfaction with either the current game state or their teammates. While it’s okay to get frustrated because you’re struggling in the game, we don’t think it's okay to misuse features within League to bother and harass teammates. With this change we’re looking to restrict surrender vote spamming and make the act of calling a surrender a little bit more a team action. We’re also taking some time to make the surrender process a bit cleaner overall.

• The name of the player that started a surrender vote is no longer revealed.
• After starting a surrender vote, the player that started the surrender vote will not be able to begin another vote for 6 minutes. Note, the team cooldown on calling for a surrender vote remains unchanged at 3 minutes and takes priority over individual cooldowns.
• The surrender vote will automatically resolve when a vote can no longer pass and will no longer remain open waiting for players to vote.
• The surrender box text has been updated to reflect the type of surrender vote being called: Surrender, AFK Surrender, or Remake.

After our last round of ARAM balance changes, we've managed to address urgent under/overperforming champions, but we want to let the dust settle before making more adjustments. We're not done balancing ARAM by any means, but we want to collect information on which champions really need to be addressed instead of making minor changes to a few champions.

The MMR duo restriction for Apex ranks has been re-enabled as of patch 13.15.

Aatrox

Q damage decreased.

The Aatrox buffs from last patch went a bit aa-wry, so we’re back to tone it down a little. This nerf is meant to dial back some of the big damage numbers he got last patch without changing the much-needed wave clear buff he received.

---

Q - The Darkin Blade

• First Cast Damage: 10/25/40/55/70 (+60/70/80/90/100% AD) ⇒ 10/25/40/55/70 (+60/67.5/75/82.5/90% AD) (Note: The second cast of Q will still deal 25% more than base damage and the third cast will still deal 50% more.)

Caitlyn

Passive critical strike chance scaling increased. R critical strike chance additional damage increased.

Caitlyn hasn’t been hitting the mark in terms of her current power levels, so we’re here to put some more gunpowder (Hextech?) in her rifle to give her shots some more kick. We’re primarily focusing on making Caitlyn scale better with her crit-based builds this patch, particularly in her passive and ultimate crit chance scaling. While she won’t be able to gain lane advantages with these changes, she’ll be better able to keep up with her competition when it comes to scaling with items.

---

Passive - Headshot

• Critical Strike Rate Coefficient: 1.2 ⇒ 1.3 (Note: this will grant +27 base damage at 100% critical strike chance)

---

R - Ace in the Hole

• Critical Strike Chance to Damage Ratio: 2.5% additional damage per 10% critical strike chance ⇒ 3.5% additional damage per 10% critical strike chance

Camille

AD growth increased. R on-hit damage increased.

Camille hasn’t been the sharpest legs in the shed recently, and since she hasn’t been seen much in Pro play either, we’re looking to get some more power back into her kit. We'll be increasing her AD growth and the amount of damage she deals during her ultimate to give her more of an opportunity to secure kills both in side lanes and in teamfights.

---

Base Stats

• Attack Damage Growth: 3.5 ⇒ 3.8

---

R - The Hextech Ultimatum

• Base Bonus Magic Damage per Attack: 5/10/15 ⇒ 20/30/40

Gwen

Base health regeneration increased. W bonus armor and MR increased.

Gwen needs some help at the moment, and we’re here to throw her a metaphorical lifeline (of yarn).. Her damage is already in a good spot so we want to focus on helping her early game, particularly into her more difficult matchups, by increasing her durability. These changes should help Gwen trade better into tough opponents, especially when she’s using her Hallowed Mist well.

---

Base Stats

• Health Regeneration per 5 seconds: 8.5 ⇒ 9

---

W - Hallowed Mist

• Bonus Armor and Magic Resistance: 17/19/21/23/25 (+7% AP) ⇒ 22/24/26/28/30 (+7% AP)

Ivern

Magic resistance decreased. W ally on-hit damage increased. E shield strength adjusted. R Daisy! duration decreased, armor and MR decreased, health decreased, attack damage decreased.

Ivern has a unique place in League of Legends as an enchanter jungler and as such, we believe enchanter should be his primary build. His high-AP builds should be viable, but are currently significantly better than his supportive ones. Nerfs to his E AP ratio and buffs to its base shielding, nerfs to Daisy's AP ratio for bonus AD (we do not think Daisy should be able to duke it out with other champs 1v1), and buffs to his teammate-amping W should shift his builds and playstyle toward supportive options and away from Night Harvester.

In addition, Ivern is simply overpowered. Along with the above changes, his Magic Resist is being re-tuned to that of a ranged champion and Daisy's duration is shortened to match Tibbers. 45 seconds is still enough time to be worth micromanaging her out of harm's way but will typically keep her from having 100% uptime.

Finally, Daisy’s overall durability is being shifted for two reasons: First, Smite will no longer deal high damage to pets, which necessitates nerfing her durability somewhat. Second, her durability is being shifted from rank-based to champion-level-based. This is because the game state at level 6 is very different from the game state at level 10, yet pets rarely have meaningful differences in durability between those two points in time.

---

Base Stats

• Magic Resistance: 32 (+2.05 per level) ⇒ 30 (+1.3 per level) (Note: this is typical for other ranged champions)

---

W - Brushmaker

• Ally On-Hit Damage: 5/7.5/10/12.5/15 (+10% of Ivern's AP) ⇒ 10/15/20/25/30 (+10% of Ivern's AP)

---

E - Triggerseed

• Shield Strength: 80/115/150/185/220 (+75% AP) ⇒ 85/125/165/205/245 (+50% AP) (Note: this will be a buff until Ivern’s gets 20/40/60/80/100 AP)

---

R - Daisy!

• Duration: 60 seconds ⇒ 45 seconds
• Armor and Magic Resistance: 20/50/100 (+5% AP) ⇒ 30-90 (levels 6-18)
• Health: 1300/2600/3900 (+50% AP) ⇒ 1000-4400 (levels 6-18, nonlinear scaling) (+50% AP) (Note: this is approximately a 5% durability decrease)
• Daisy! Attack Damage: 70/100/130 (+30% AP) ⇒ 70/100/130 (+15% AP) (Note: final shockwave damage is unchanged)

Kai’Sa

Base health decreased. Q damage decreased. W cooldown increased.

Kai'Sa has skyrocketed in popularity and currently has a wealth of viable build options. Her AD builds like Kraken plus Quickblades are a little too strong and her high-AP ones are quite a bit over the line, which have made her a very powerful bot laner. We're delivering a small nerf to some of her AP outputs, plus a more generic nerf with the hope that she continues to have multiple viable builds and remains fun to play.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 670 ⇒ 640

---

Q - Icathian Rain

• Damage per Missile: 40/55/70/85/100 (+50% bonus AD) (+ 30% AP) ⇒ 40/55/70/85/100 (+50% bonus AD) (+ 20% AP)
• Maximum Single-Target Damage (Unevolved): 90/123.75/157.5/191.25/225 (+112.5% bonus AD) (+67.5% AP) ⇒ 90/123.75/157.5/191.25/225 (+112.5% bonus AD) (+45% AP)
• Maximum Single-Target Damage (Evolved): 150/206.25/262.5/318.75/375 (+187.5% bonus AD) (+112.5% AP) ⇒ 150/206.25/262.5/318.75/375 (+187.5% bonus AD) (+75% AP)

---

W - Void Seeker

• Cooldown Reduction after Evolution: 77% ⇒ 75% (Note: this is functionally an 8.7% cooldown increase on hit)

Maokai

Q damage to monsters decreased.

Maokai has been overgrowing his welcome in Pro this season but is standing in a good place in solo queue. This tree is already at a good level when it comes to cc’ing his enemies during ganks and teamfights, so we’re looking to slow down his jungle clear speed a bit this patch instead.

---

Q - Bramble Smash

• Bonus Damage to Monsters: 100/120/140/160/180 ⇒ 80/100/120/140/160

Nami

Passive bonus movement speed increased. Q base damage increased.

Since our last set of changes, Nami has become a strong, independent fish that doesn’t need a Lucian anymore. Now that she isn’t soul bound to Lucian we feel more comfortable adding some power back into her kit, namely by increasing the movement speed she can offer to allies and giving slightly more damage on her Q. We wanted to be very careful with W and E, which are her primary support tools, so instead we went with a reliable way to help others with movement speed. We’re also adding a little more satisfaction on hitting her more difficult spell, which gives her some more power early where we believe she should still be a dominant support in lane.

---

Passive - Surging Tides

• Bonus Movement Speed: 90 (+20% AP) ⇒ 100 (+25% AP)

---

Q - Aqua Prison

• Magic Damage: 75/130/185/240/295 (+50% AP) ⇒ 90/145/200/255/310 (+50% AP)

Rell

Multiple QoL adjustments made to Rell.

Rell's Midscope has been charging down bot and jungle for some time now. Some bugs, consistency issues, and quality of life opportunities have cropped up, which is what we're addressing this patch.

Her Q + Flash used to work similarly to other skillshots like Ahri E, where after the flash it would go to the location you originally targeted, adjusting the angle as needed. This has its pros and cons, but leads to a number of instances where Rell ends up Qing backward or at an entirely different angle than expected, especially after flashing a wall, which could throw players off. Additionally, her W2 attack was feeling sluggish and a bit unresponsive, so we're smoothing that out a bit. Finally, there was some inconsistency in how her Passive was applied between her spells and auto attacks, which we're resolving now.

---

Passive - Break the Mold

• Consistency is Key: All spells and auto attacks now apply the damage first, THEN apply the passive. (Note: Previously Q, W2, and R would apply passive, then damage, but E and auto attacks would do the opposite.)

---

Q - Shattering Strike

• Q Flash Interaction: Q maintains the original target location after flashing ⇒ Q maintains the absolute direction after flashing. (Note: This should feel more intuitive and in line with expected outcomes.)

---

W - Ferromancy: Mount Up

• QoL Change: Increased dash speed before the flip once she's locked onto a target. This should both solve some bugs and make the ability feel quicker and more responsive.
• Monster Mounting Maneuver: Fixed a bug that was causing Rell’s W - Mount Up to not apply bonus damage to Epic monsters.

Sejuani

W base damage decreased.

Sejuani, like Maokai, has been a top tier Pro jungler this season and it's about time for her to give the spotlight to another jungler. We'll be nerfing her W base damage, which is especially valuable in Pro play due to the effect it has on her clear speed and early skirmishing.

---

W - Winter’s Wrath

• Initial Cast Damage: 20/25/30/35/40 (+20% AP) (+2% of maximum health) ⇒ 10/15/20/25/30 (+20% AP) (+2% of maximum health)
• Second Cast Damage: 30/70/110/150/190 (+60% AP) (+6% of maximum health) ⇒ 20/60/100/140/180 (+60% AP) (+6% of maximum health)

Shyvana

AD growth decreased, health growth decreased.

Shyvana’s last round of changes were a bit too fire, so we’re back to dampen her flames ever so slightly. Shyvana has historically always done better at lower MMRs, but her recent changes increased the skill skew even moreso. With this batch of changes we’re looking to even out this skill skew a bit by reducing some base stats which will make her a bit weaker in the late game where she can afford to lose some power, but not affect her already weak clear speed.

---

Base Stats

• Attack Damage Growth: 3.4 per level ⇒ 3 per level
• Health Growth: 109 per level ⇒ 104 per level

Taliyah

Q damage increased. E cooldown decreased early, damage to monsters increased.

Taliyah hasn’t been rocking anyone’s world recently, which is a shame because that’s literally her identity. We currently feel as though Taliyah has room for a small buff to both her mid and jungle roles, especially when it comes to early game damage and frequency, both of which these changes should help bolster.

---

Q - Threaded Volley

• Magic Damage: 45/65/85/105/125 (+50% AP) ⇒ 50/70/90/110/130 (+50% AP)

---

E - Unraveled Earth

• Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14 seconds ⇒ 16/15.5/15/14.5/14 seconds
• Damage to Monsters Modifier: 150% ⇒ 175%

Yasuo

Passive shield scaling adjusted.

Yasuo hasn't fully recovered from the Midseason update that removed Immortal Shieldbow as a viable early option. We're continuing the trend of giving him enough durability to survive early and mid-game fights without having to rely on Blade of the Ruined King or Death's Dance, which go against his core fantasy of wielding crit. The change in this patch ends up being a 30-50% larger shield in the mid game, even if level 1 and 18 are unchanged.

---

Passive - Way of the Wanderer

• Shield Strength: 125-600 (based on level) ⇒ 125-600 (now mirrors base stat scaling)

Yone

W shield strength increased.

Yone is currently not performing so well in solo queue. Similar to Yasuo, he lost Immortal Shieldbow as an early purchase, which gave him much-needed survivability. We'll be increasing his W shield to help him trade better in lane and to also improve his general durability throughout the game.

---

W - SPIRIT CLEAVE

• Shield Strength: 45-65 (based on level) (+65% bonus AD) ⇒ 60-80 (based on level) (+65% bonus AD)

Currently, Smite has two damage values: one for champions and one for everything else. Unfortunately for pet champions—like Annie and Ivern—that "everything else" includes pets who are supposed to live long enough to be useful. Smite all but removing a champion's ultimate is pretty unfair. Additionally, "uniquely amazing at dealing with summoners" is not a strength we think junglers need. We're electing to make Smite's interaction with pets the same as it is against the champions who summon them: low damage and, when upgraded, a slow.

For ultimate pets themselves, there are a few goals: First, by nerfing Smite against them, they need to become a bit less durable overall as compensation. These changes amount to roughly 5-10% less durability averaged across the game. The second goal is to make ultimate pet health more consistent. At level 6, these pets are too durable for a 1v1 fight but also don't ramp up for a mid-game team fight at level 9 or 10. By shifting their durability into champion level instead of ultimate rank scaling, these rough edges can be sanded off. Finally, we're removing some AP scaling from pet durability. While that scaling helps round out pet durability, it's important that ultimate pets have a reliable baseline of durability and function. On the other hand, it makes sense for their offensive capabilities to scale with gold income and ability rank.

Smite

• Damage to Non-Lane Minions: 600/900/1200 ⇒ 20-160 (based on level) (Note: Damage to jungle monsters and lane minions is unchanged, this should only affect minions spawned by another champion.)
• new20% slow for 2 seconds: Unlocked on first upgrade to Unleashed Smite ⇒ Unlocked on second upgrade to Primal Smite

Annie

Tibbers durability decreased.

---

R - Summon Tibbers

• Armor and Magic Resistance: 30/60/90 (+5% AP) ⇒ 30-90 (levels 6-18)
• Health: 1300/2200/3100 (+75% AP) ⇒ 1150-3500 (+50% AP) (levels 6-18, nonlinear scaling) (Note: this is approximately a 5-10% durability decrease)

Heimerdinger

R Apex Turret durability decreased.

---

R - H-28Q Apex Turret

• Turret Health: 850-1450 (based on level) (+25-200% (based on level) AP) ⇒ 725-1525 (based on level) (+50% AP)
• Turret Armor: 10-80 (based on level) ⇒ 30-90 (based on level)
• Turret Magic Resistance: 25-65 (based on level) ⇒ 30-90 (based on level)

Yorick

R Maiden’s durability adjusted. Maiden now has armor, magic resistance, and health regeneration added.

---

R - Eulogy of the Isles

• newComeback Queen: Maiden of the Mist will now regenerate 2.5 health per second
• newMaiden’s Armor and Magic Resistance: 0 ⇒ 10-50 (levels 6-18, nonlinear scaling)
• Health: 350/1100/3300 (+75% of Yorick’s maximum health) ⇒ 400-1650 (levels 6-18, nonlinear scaling) (+60% of Yorick’s maximum health)

Night Harvester

One of Night Harvester's best users is the item Statikk Shiv, which is below the bar for counter-play of the effect. We're taking the time to make its application more consistent with other items, requiring casting an ability or at least inflicting auto attack damage.

• Soulrend Activation Condition: Damaging an enemy champion ⇒ Damaging an enemy champion with an attack, ability, or pet damage (Note: items will no longer proc Night Harvester)

Glacial Augment

Glacial Augment is pretty overpowered right now and can end up feeling bad when dominant on Tank supports, which unfortunately doesn't allow them to feel the effects of Guardian/Aftershock. In this patch we’re nerfing the base value of it and increasing the stats benefits that Tank supports generally don't have. This should help non-tanks at the 2+ item breakpoint with a more effective slow while pure tanks won’t be able to use the base slow as effectively.

• Icy Zone Slow: 30% (+3% per 100 AP) (+4% per 100 bonus AD) (+9% per 10% heal and shield power) ⇒ 20% (+6% per 100 AP) (+7% per 100 bonus AD) (+9% per 10% heal and shield power)

Welcome to the Arena balance adjustments! The hotfixes that came through in 13.14 were mainly about breaking up a meta that was forming and tapping down marksman hyper carries that were overperforming. The 13.15 changes are more about buffing up a bunch of underperforming champions and continuing to reign in the top tier competitors by champ rather than taking swings at classes. Going forward we'll be keeping an eye on tanks and assassins who have been struggling in a lot of cases, but we'll need to see how the 13.15 changes shake out first. We hope you’ve been enjoying your time in the Arena!

Before we jump into the balance adjustments, we wanted to give you a heads-up that we’re going to have some new Soul Fighters joining us this patch. Look out for the following competitors coming to an Arena near you!

• Evelynn: Grants all players camouflage.
• Gwen: Occasionally protects the lowest health player with her W, Hallowed Mist.
• Jhin: Casts his ultimate, Curtain Call, which will alternate shots between each player.
• Shaco: Continuously places his Jack-in-the-Boxes around the Arena.
• Viego: The first player to die will instead become Viego for a period of time.

MASTER+ DUO QUEUE RESTRICTIONS

The restriction on duoing in Ranked Solo/Duo with an MMR of Masters or above is disabled until patch 13.15. Note that duo restrictions based on visible rank are still active, so a player who reaches Master or above will not be able to duo.

NEW GAME MODE: ARENA

It’s here! The new 2v2v2v2 game mode is launching this patch and we’re excited for all of you to try it out! In the new Arena game mode, four teams of two players each fight one another in rotating combat rounds. After each round of combat, they will power up with unique Augments until only one team is left standing. Combat takes place on four different battlefields which vary in size, terrain density, and theme. Champions from the Soul Fighter universe will make occasional cameo appearances in matches. Sometimes they’ll help, sometimes not so much.

Think you have what it takes to be the #1 Gladiator on our leaderboard? Well get ready to test your mettle in the Arena!

In case you haven’t seen it, check out our full rundown on Arena here!

Aatrox

Q damage increased, minion damage modifier increased.

Aatrox hasn't been on his Aa-game since the end of last year. Not only is his win rate for most players quite low, there is also a criminal lack of A Darkin Carry (ADC) in Pro play. In all seriousness, Aatrox has been lacking since we took down his self-healing. We'd like to give Aatrox players power in ways they'll appreciate without it being simply more sustain, so we’re bumping his AD ratios and wave clear power up which should keep him on AD builds and increase his ability to carry come late game.

---

Q - The Darkin Blade

• First Cast Damage: 10/30/50/70/90 (+60/65/70/75/80% AD) ⇒ 10/25/40/55/70 (+60/70/80/90/100% AD) (Note: This will be a buff at 0/100/100/100/100 AD. The 2nd cast of Q will still deal 25% more than base damage and the 3rd cast will still deal 50% more.)
• Minion Damage Modifier: 55% ⇒ 55/60/65/70% (levels 1/6/11/16)

Diana

W shield strength increased, damage per orb increased. E magic damage increased.

Diana has been weak since our adjustments to her and her tank build. This has become a little more apparent over the last few patches to the point where she's deserving of a buff. In this patch we’re buffing Diana's carry potential so that she's more able to convert leads into wins. More specifically we’re looking to shore up her higher damage builds as well as a bit of early jungle health/laning power.

---

W - Pale Cascade

• Shield Strength: 40/55/70/85/100 (+25% AP) (+9% bonus health) ⇒ 45/60/75/90/105 (+30% AP) (+9% bonus health)
• Magic Damage per Orb: 18/30/42/54/66 (+15% AP) ⇒ 18/30/42/54/66 (+18% AP)

---

E - Lunar Rush

• Magic Damage: 50/70/90/110/130 (+50%) ⇒ 50/70/90/110/130 (+60%)

Hecarim

W bonus armor and MR decreased.

Hecarim has been doing great in solo queue, a little too great. He's currently able to build a high amount of damage while relying on the built-in durability of his kit. Combine that with the fact that Duskblade is his most commonly purchased mythic item, and you have a spooky tank assassin ghost horse. Since Hecarim is generally strong and one of his core items (Spear of Shojin) is getting buffed this patch, we'll be toning down his W resistances to reduce how durable he can be without investing into more direct durability stats.

---

W - Spirit of Dread

• Bonus Armor and Magic Resist: 15/20/25/30/35 ⇒ 5/10/15/20/25

Jax

E cooldown increased. R mana cost increased.

Jax has been a strong top laner in both Pro and solo queue for quite some time now. With the upcoming Shojin buff we'll be increasing the cooldown on his E as it currently has great synergies with Spear of Shojin and we'd like to reduce the frequency at which Jax has access to this impactful ability. We'll also be reverting an unintentional mana buff that shipped with the Jax update earlier this year.

---

E - Counter Strike

• Cooldown: 14/12.5/11/9.5/8 seconds ⇒ 15/13.5/12/10.5/9 seconds

---

R - Grandmaster-At-Arms

• Mana Cost: 50 ⇒ 100

Karthus

Q base damage decreased, damage to monsters increased. E mana restoration decreased.

Karthus bot lane has been a very potent force, quickly overtaking games that he's given free reign in, not to mention the fact that he’s been picking up in popularity. With these changes, we are aiming to preserve his jungle power where possible while nerfing the components of his kit that manifest in lane, like early non-monster damage and mana refunds, since jungle Karthus has access to Blue Buff and his jungle item for mana restoration.

---

Q - Lay Waste

• Magic Damage: 45/62.5/80/97.5/115 (+35% AP) ⇒ 43/61/79/97/115 (+35% AP)
• Monster Damage Modifier: 95% ⇒ 100%

---

E - Defile

• Mana Restoration on Enemy Takedown: 15/25/35/45/55 ⇒ 10/20/30/40/50

Kindred

Base health increased, base armor increased. Q base damage decreased, cooldown increased.

Kindred have been a top tier jungler in high-skill brackets for a few patches now. Our nerfs from last patch, while overall reducing Kindred's strength, did not have enough of a skew in high MMR to hit our goals. In this patch we'll be nerfing both the base damage and cooldown of their Q which we expect to mostly impact Elite-level Kindred players due to their statistically higher Q cast frequency.

Kindred’s most common and successful builds are pretty tanky right now with items like Trinity Force, Black Cleaver, Wit’s End, and even Sterak’s Gage. Trinity Force is a pretty logical inclusion in their build but we’ll be discussing whether or not they should need squishier builds to succeed in the future.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 580 ⇒ 610
• Base Armor: 26 ⇒ 29

---

Q - Dance of Arrows

• Physical Damage: 50/75/100/125/150 (+75% bonus AD) ⇒ 40/65/90/115/140 (+75% bonus AD)
• Cooldown: 8 seconds ⇒ 9 seconds

Lissandra

Passive QoL changes added. Q will now slow all enemies hit. R heal increased, damage and slow application increased.

Our goal with this set of changes is to smooth out rough edges for Lissandra. Her Q is a spell that most players don't realize doesn't slow beyond the first target, so we want to align the spell with player and spell expectations. This may end up being a bit powerful since her slow amount has been balanced around the first hit unit being slowed only, but we’ll be keeping an eye on this change to see if it needs retuning in a future patch.

Another goal we have is making Lissandra's Frozen Thralls more responsive to enemy actions and not feel as if they’re giving up damage and kills. Their interactions around Fog of War and stopping prior to exploding ended up feeling like her kit was working against her. We’re also buffing her R healing to ensure that this spell doesn't feel bad to cast on yourself come late game so that Lissandra really does feel like a frost lich. Last but not least, we want to ensure that her R's effects happen responsively to enemies foolish enough to enter into the area of her tomb.

---

Passive - Iceborn Subjugation

• Thrall Movement: Thralls will stop at final frames before exploding ⇒ Thralls will continue to chase down their targets until they explode
• newYou Can't Hide: Thralls will now follow enemies into Brush if they were already being chased down by the Thrall
• newI C(E) You Coming: Thralls are revealed to enemies through Fog of War

---

Q - Ice Shard

• Slow Application: Q will slow the first enemy hit ⇒ Q will now slow all enemies hit
• Ice Shard Missile: Q will cast from position post-cast rather than pre-cast

---

R - Frozen Tomb

• Heal Amount: 90/140/190 (+25% AP) (increased by 0-100% based on missing health) ⇒ 100/150/200 (+55% AP) (increased by 0-100% based on missing health) (Note: Maximum heal value will be at 30% or less health now instead of 0% health.)
• Damage and Slow Application Cadence: 4 times per second ⇒ 16 times per second
• Dash Interactions: Updated logic slightly around stopping dashes

Milio

Passive burn damage decreased. E bonus movement speed decreased.

Milio is overall pretty balanced for most players, albeit with a bit of room to move down. That said, he does have a high risk of overtaking Pro play in the near future. In this patch we're targeting Pro-skill-skewed parts of his kit that scale strongly with both coordination and the skill level of your ally. We’d rather preserve his signature outputs such as his AoE cleanse and bonus attack range and reduce his less unique tools.

---

Passive - Fired Up!

• Burn Damage: 25-80 (based on level) (+20% AP) ⇒ 15-50 (based on level) (+20% AP)

---

E - Warm Hugs

• Bonus Movement Speed: 15/17.5/20/22.5/25% ⇒ 12/14/16/18/20%

Rek'Sai

W - Unburrow base damage decreased. E damage decreased.

Rek'Sai gained a lot of power with her update a few patches ago, and while she was nerfed last patch, we didn't go quite far enough. We're targeting her overwhelming early gank power since she already has such great target access, which means she doesn't need to also guarantee the kill quite so easily.

W - Un-burrow

• Physical Damage: 55/70/85/100/115 (+80% bonus AD) ⇒ 50/65/80/95/110 (+80% bonus AD)

---

E - Furious Bite

• Physical Damage: 55/60/65/70/75 (+85% bonus AD) ⇒ 5/10/15/20/25 (+70% total AD)

Rell

Base armor decreased. Passive Armor and Magic Resist steal decreased.

Our goal last patch was to increase the power of Rell jungle and decrease her strength as a support. While we achieved both of those goals, we didn't quite nerf Rell support enough. As many Pro leagues around the world are using 13.14 as their playoff patch, we want to dial in how powerful she is in Pro play before we’re able to collect data heading into Worlds. Our goal this patch is for Rell to still be a strong pick but to be less overbearing.

We’re reducing Rell’s baseline armor so that she will have below-average tank stats for a support since both her passive and W give her more of them. Meanwhile, it's incredibly important that Rell feels like a fast horse rider and that each of her button presses carries enough damage to feel good. Each of her individual damage numbers are already quite low, so we're targeting another balance lever that is much less noticeable: her passive.

---

Base Stats

• Base Armor: 39 ⇒ 36

---

Passive - Break the Mold

• Armor and Magic Resist Steal: 3% ⇒ 2%
• Minimum Armor and Magic Resist Steal: 1.25-3 (based on champion level) ⇒ 0.8-2 (based on champion level)
• Maximum Armor and Magic Resist Steal: 15% ⇒ 10%

Rengar

Base health regeneration decreased. Q critical strike damage conversion decreased.

Rengar just loves to cuddle with squishy champions and then collect their teeth for his necklace. We're glad he's building damage items, has a unique love for critical strike chance, and plays as an assassin. However, he's succeeding too well in elite game lobbies. The speed at which he one-shots his foes leaves little room for counterplay, hence the Q nerf. Also, he’s been more successful in top lane than jungle recently, which is where the base health regen nerf comes in.

---

Base Stats

• Health Regeneration per 5 seconds: 7 ⇒ 6

---

Q - Savagery

• Critical Strike Damage Conversion: 95% ⇒ 75%

Shaco

Q AD scaling increased, backstab damage increased. Bugfixes.

Full AD assassin Shaco builds have been struggling to finish off kills after the adjustments we made to Duskblade and Infinity Edge a few patches back. We’re looking to give back a little of his lost power with these changes, ensuring that his primary AD assassin build remains well supported.

---

Q - Deceive

• Bonus Physical Damage: 25/35/45/55/65 (+50% bonus AD) ⇒ 25/35/45/55/65 (+60% bonus AD)
• Backstab Bonus Critical Strike Damage: 40% ⇒ 55%

---

R - Hallucinate

• Prowler's Claw Bugfix: Prowler's Claw's passive will now properly be applied to Shaco's clone

---

Bugfixes

• Not So Fast Dragon: Shaco boxes will no longer instantly die to Hextech Dragon’s lightning AoE
• Zip Zap No More: Zeri’s Q bullets will now deal the correct amount of damage to Shaco’s boxes

Shyvana

Q AD scaling increased, attack speed increase added, cooldown increased. E now additionally scales with bonus AD.

Shyvana’s builds have been skewing heavily towards AP lately, and her AD builds haven’t been getting much love. She was depending on items and a few other in-game systems to keep her strong in the past, but with these getting adjusted, a lot of her power went along with it. Our goal with these changes is to give Shyvana more solid reasons to build and scale with AD-centric builds. And we’re also adding built-in attack speed so she doesn't have to rely on items to provide it for her.

---

Q - Twin Bite

• Bonus Physical Damage: 20/35/50/65/80% AD (+25% AP) ⇒ 20/40/60/80/100% AD (+25% AP)
• newAttack Speed Increase: Shyvana's next 2 attacks have 40/45/50/55/60% increased attack speed
• Cooldown: 7/6.5/6/5.5/5 seconds ⇒ 8/7.5/7/6.5/6 seconds

---

E - Flame Breath

• Bonus Magic Damage On-Hit vs Marked Targets: 3% of target's maximum health ⇒ 3% of target's maximum health (+1% per 100 bonus AD)

Volibear

Passive AP scaling increased. Q QoL change. W heal increased.

Volibear buffs! Wizard bear is a relatively popular, yet underpowered Volibear build, and the champion is underperforming in top lane overall. So we’re giving him some simple buffs aimed at making both builds scale better in order to help Voli become a beary scary carry.

---

Passive - The Relentless Storm

• Lightning Claws Magic Damage: 11-60 (based on level) (+40% AP) ⇒ 11-60 (based on level) (+50% AP)

---

Q - Thundering Smash

• QoL Update: Removed a hitch in Volibear's auto attacks after stunning at high attack speeds.

---

W - Frenzied Maul

• Heal: 20/35/50/65/80 (+8/10/12/14/16% of missing health) ⇒ 20/35/50/65/80 (+8/11/14/17/20% of missing health)

Xerath

Base mana decreased. Passive cooldown increased, now reduced cooldown upon killing a unit, now procs with turrets. R number of casts increased, damage decreased, now deals additional damage with successive bolts upon hitting a champion.

Despite Xerath’s success as a support, he has been an unpopular and mediocre mid laner. While we don’t mind Xerath support being viable, we’d like to make picking Xerath mid a more consistent and realistic option for those who want to play him there. With these changes we’re giving him more access to mana, particularly in the mid lane, to help him trade and clear waves. We also want to reward Xerath players for landing consecutive missiles while using their ultimate, so we’ll be adding bonus damage and adjusting the numbers accordingly. While the base mana nerf will be a hit to Xerath support (there’s room as he’s currently quite strong there), the passive proc on structures will be helpful for him no matter which role he’s picked into.

---

Base Stats

• Base Mana: 459 ⇒ 400

---

Passive - Mana Surge

• Cooldown: 12 seconds ⇒ 16 seconds
• newTwo for One: Mana Surge's cooldown is now reduced by 2 seconds upon killing a unit
• newTower is Power: Hitting Turrets will now proc Mana Surge

---

R - Rite of the Arcane

• Number of Casts: 3/4/5 ⇒ 4/5/6
• Magic Damage: 200/250/300 (+45% AP) ⇒ 180/230/280 (+40% AP)
• newSuccessive Snipes: If a champion is hit with a bolt, successive bolts will deal an additional 20/25/30 (+5% AP) damage (Note: This applies to any number of champions hit with a bolt, so whether you hit one or five you will only receive up to one stack per cast.)

Zyra

Several QoL updates to Zyra's abilities.

Zyra remains a popular and very deep champion with her roots sunken into her devoted fanbase, so while she may not be the perfect queen of plants, we believe she’s clearly a character players love as she is. With these changes we’re looking to help polish her up and ensure that playing her is enjoyable and that her gameplay doesn’t feel like it’s fighting against you. These changes should make her feel more responsive and function more in line with what her players would expect.

We’re also making her jungle mod make sense as an additional change. We don't expect that to be her primary or even secondary role, but we want to make sure it's at least a little viable for the players who are excited to play her there. Meanwhile, we also want to retain some parity for ranged AoE users who are intentionally damaging down these units with auto attacks.

---

Passive - Garden of Thorns

• Plant Damage from AoE Spells: 4 ⇒ 3
• Plant Damage from Ranged Auto Attacks: 4 ⇒ 5
• Plant Damage to Monsters: 150% damage to non-Epic monsters ⇒ 40-100 bonus magic damage to all monsters (scales with champion level)

---

W - Rampant Growth

• Seeds on First Rank-Up: 1 ⇒ 2

---

E - Grasping Roots

• Flash Interaction: E no longer locks Zyra out of using Flash during the cast time

---

R - Stranglethorns

• Damage Application Cadence: 4 times per second ⇒ 16 times per second
• Casting Logic: Zyra will walk to the position at which her R was cast ⇒ Zyra will immediately cast her R at its maximum range

Axiom Arc

A few lethality items have been underperforming. In this patch we’re looking to ensure that core AD assassins have strongly tailored legendaries that have unique outputs.

We’re modifying Axiom Arc into an exciting lethality capstone that can help assassins push games to a close with almost solo carry levels of potential. We believe the idea of getting off two ultimates in a fight should be an exciting game-closing dream for assassins to solo carry. We realize this sounds terrifying for ADC players, so we’re testing this out to see if it's acceptable for the class come late game when speccing into heavy lethality (and thus glass cannon) builds. The start of the split is a good time to test it, but we’ll be keeping a very close eye on these changes.

• Ultimate Cooldown Refunded: 20% of total cooldown ⇒ 5% (+40% of total Lethality) (Note: This will be a buff at Mythic item + Axiom Arc, scaling up to ~40% at full build.)

Galeforce

Galeforce launched far too strong in midseason and has become balanced in the hands of the majority of players. But considering it's an active item, it's even stronger at the highest levels of play where AD carries are a little overpowered. We think lowering the impact of the active will bridge that gap a little. Infinity Edge is also receiving a small buff this patch, so champions like Caitlyn and Jinx can simply sidegrade over to another Mythic option, while those who are more hardbound like Nilah already perform very well and can safely lose a bit of power.

• Cooldown: 90 seconds ⇒ 120 seconds

Infinity Edge

Infinity Edge has been a reasonable marksman capstone since midseason, but isn't quite hitting the excitement bar that we want it to. IE should be the clear late-game auto-attack DPS winner, and while it's close, many players aren't getting the enjoyment they want out of this historic item. In truth, the changes here are pretty small. It's roughly power-neutral as a second item and then trends toward 3-4% more auto attack DPS in full builds. The important thing is having auto attack crits stand out, which should safely happen here.

• Attack Damage: 70 ⇒ 65
• Critical Strike Damage: 35% ⇒ 45%

Prowler's Claw

After its rework, Prowler’s Claw is still a bit weak compared to the premium damage carry item we’d like for it to be for lethality assassins. To give it some help we’re bringing its baseline lethality up to match the alternative lethality options.

• Lethality: 15 ⇒ 18

Randuin's Omen

Randuin’s Omen has been an unpopular item, as most players are opting for Thornmail or Sunfire for their HP and armor. Since Randuin’s already offers a reasonable amount of stats, we’ll be sharpening what it uniquely offers to justify its price compared to alternative options.

• Critical Strike Damage Reduction: 20% ⇒ 25%

Spear of Shojin

Spear of Shojin should be an exciting capstone-level item for fighters but currently has very few purchasers. This item does fulfill a very specific niche but there are other champions that could potentially do well with it that are intimidated by its high price. We’ll be reducing its gold cost and increasing its HP offering to make this item more of a realistic option for users that aren’t as well established, like Jax or Hecarim.

• Total Cost: 3400 gold ⇒ 3300 gold
• Health: 300 ⇒ 350

Spirit Visage

Spirit Visage, like Randuin’s, has been a mediocre magic resistance option compared to other items. While it has a unique passive that is well utilized by certain champions, we’d like to increase the amount of base stats it offers to help increase its general viability.

• Magic Resistance: 50 ⇒ 60

Statikk Shiv

Statikk Shiv's minion damage has been tuned to nearly kill caster minions but not quite do it unless you're at the cutting edge of experience gain. Unfortunately, this very specific goal has meant it's easy to eclipse that mark with Minion Dematerializer. Additionally, the item can stall games with its late-game minion damage requiring Baron buff to push through. Outside of those worries, the item is pretty well balanced, so with a nerf to its wave clear comes a compensation buff to its base stats.

• Attack Speed: 25% ⇒ 30%
• Electroshock Minion Damage: 250-450 (based on level) ⇒ 250-350 (250 + 25 per level starting at level 7, then +12.5 per level at level 11 ⇒ 250 + 10 per level starting at level 9)

Sterak's Gage

With the goal to increase fighter agency during later stages of the game, we’ll be giving Sterak's a nice HP buff while bringing down the price. Sterak’s should be a strong option for any fighter who needs to wade into a 5-on-5 teamfight and requires the burst resistance to ensure they have the time to do their job.

• Total Cost: 3100 gold ⇒ 3000 gold
• Health: 400 ⇒ 450

Trinity Force

Trinity Force got massive buffs in midseason and finally has a home in several fighters' inventories. Several marksmen have found Trinity Force's bundle of stats to make a lot of sense as well. After all, anyone with short cooldowns and easy ways to auto attack is going to use Spellblade well, while the ramping %AD passive from Threefold Strikes also rewards long-duration auto attack patterns. We’re pretty happy with its suite of users and think they all make sense. With that said, we want to make sure that balancing the item for marksmen still allows fighters to deal tons of damage.

The changes to Trinity Force this patch are pretty light, all things considered, but shift its strengths toward fighters who can't maintain target access for as long. The Threefold Strikes change is a net buff across the first 11 attacks of a fight, only falling off for champions who get to attack even more (read: marksmen). Also, the number 3 is far more prevalent now, which is very important.

• Attack Speed: 35% ⇒ 33%
• Attack Damage per Stack: 4% ⇒ 3% + 3% (Note: This is just 6%)
• Maximum Threefold Strike Stacks: 5 ⇒ 3 (Note: Maximum AD decreased from 20% to 18%.)

Ghost

Ghost is catching on as an incredibly strong Summoner Spell and is rapidly becoming the go-to pick for bot laners. We're happy that players have identified another strong tool to use, but Ghost is just a bit over-tuned right now. It appears to be slightly stronger in the bottom lane than in top, jungle, and mid but tends to out-compete alternatives in all of those roles. We're nerfing Ghost's best case scenarios because it contributes to the winning team snowballing even harder, which we'd like to walk back a bit. The duration extension disproportionately benefits ranged champions, who tend to live longer in fights to make use of the extension, while the compensation buff to the base duration should keep it at a similar power level for melee ones.

• Duration: 10 seconds ⇒ 15 seconds
• removedDuration on Takedowns: Ghost no longer extends its duration by 4-7 seconds upon getting a takedown

This patch, we're taking a swing at early jungle gank power. It's important that junglers exist and are threatening so that laners have to keep an eye out for uninvited guests in their lane. However, the balance has swung too hard in the favor of junglers. Not only do junglers have the advantage of Fog of War and innate numbers advantages, their first ganks also frequently come with double buffs: extra slowing, extra damage, and even extra ability casts all contribute to jungle ganks being more successful than we'd like in the early game. So they're all being tapped down. The late-game compensation to Blue Buff is there to make it a bit more valuable as an objective later on, as only Red Buff really matters in the late game right now.

As some extra context for top laners, we don’t have great immediate solutions for directly changing top lane to make the experience better, but it’s something we want to incrementally work toward improving. Nudging down early game gank success—as many junglers place that first gank top lane—is one of many small steps we will take to try to improve the experience of playing top.

CREST OF CINDERS

• Burn True Damage: 10-78 (linear scaling based on level) ⇒ 10-75 (remains at 10 damage for levels 1-5, then increases in increments of 5 per level)
• Melee Slow: 10/15/20% (levels 1/6/11) ⇒ 5/10/15/20% (levels 1/6/11/16)
• Ranged Slow: 5/7.5/10% (levels 1/6/11) (Note: Unchanged)

CREST OF INSIGHT

• Ability Haste: 10 ⇒ 5/10/15/20 (levels 1/6/11/16)

For this patch we’re mainly looking to buff/nerf clear over and underperformers. We also want to reduce modifiers on a few Champions who are not a must buff or nerf, but have room for modifier reductions. We're giving Ashe more damage back to help her ADC build, and we're also trying out some alternative levers for Vi and Quinn to avoid giving them too much damage dealt and damage reduction.

---

BUFFS

• Aphelios: 100% Damage Dealt ⇒ 105% Damage Dealt
• Ashe: 85% Damage Dealt ⇒ 90% Damage Dealt
• Vi: 0 Ability Haste ⇒ 10 Ability Haste
• Quinn: 0 Tenacity ⇒ 20% Tenacity

---

• Ezreal: 100% Damage Dealt ⇒ 95% Damage Dealt
• Nautilus: 108% Damage Taken ⇒ 110% Damage Taken

LEAVING THE MYTHIC SHOP

• Prestige True Damage Qiyana
• Prestige Obsidian Dragon Sett
• Prestige Debonair Brand
• Prestige K/DA Akali
• Mythic Chroma High Noon Lucian

With the launch of Arena, we’d like to ensure partners are aware of our developer API policy regarding the new Augments system. Third party sites will not be allowed to share the following:

• Augment win rates
• Average game placement with selected Augments
• Augment numbers based on data with the exception of popularity and pick rate

We’d like to dive a bit into the philosophy behind this approach with Arena. Arena is meant to be a game mode that encourages players to experiment and try new things. We believe it will be at its strongest when, through that experimentation, we can see significant meta shifts as the mode progresses. We want to avoid a scenario where data points to a currently “optimal” choice, since the sheer number of potential combinations of champions, items, and Augments is meant to force players to think on their feet as opposed to following a specific script.

We know this is very different from how League has approached sharing data in the past, particularly around Summoner’s Rift. Our goal is for Arena to be a place for players to theorycraft and adjust the meta more naturally instead of focusing on raw win rate data. Raw win rate data can be misleading and can cause a stagnant meta in an unhealthy way that will likely make the game less enjoyable. We will still be sharing a healthy amount of data to allow players to inform themselves based on pick rates or subjective recommendations based on particular players’ perceptions or reads on the game state.

We’re excited to see what combinations players come up with for Arena, and will be keeping a close eye on how the meta develops once the mode goes live. We will be actively exploring options on how to further improve in-game information to help players with the decision making process on what their preferred progression paths could be based on the options available to them.

QoL ADJUSTMENTS

• Holding the mute button on the scoreboard will now mute all communications for that player
• Custom game lobbies for Summoner’s Rift will now only display a player’s highest Summoner’s Rift rank instead of including TFT rank
• Ranked related challenges have been adjusted to match the new split structure. Now, ranked related challenges (Ex: get to gold in the ranked season, etc.) will be progressable twice a year

Ranked Changes in Split 2

Annie

Q magic damage decreased.

Annie is currently one of the most popular champions in Pro play and she’s skipping along just fine in solo queue. This is due to how consistent of a pick she is because of her solid early game and strong scaling. Our goal with nerfing her Q is to tone down some of her guaranteed damage and make getting to late game just a tad more difficult.

---

Q - Disintegrate

• Magic Damage: 80/115/150/185/220 (+80% AP) ⇒ 70/105/140/175/210 (+75% AP)

Aphelios

Severum life steal decreased. Gravitum slow duration decreased. Crescendum base attack speed decreased.

Aphelios is the #1 bot laner in pro play by a long shot and has been a top performer since March. As such, we want to act in order to create more variety in the bottom lane. We know it sucks for players at home to catch strays like this, but he’s still in a much stronger spot than he was at the start of the year. This time around, we’re targeting some of his biggest ability outliers that provide frustrating levels of power: His turret deals too much DPS for a basic ability, Infernum Q provides him best-in-class sustain by a large margin, and Gravitum’s gank setup is very high for a basic ability.

---

Severum, the Scythe Pistol

• Life Steal on Attacks: 2.5%-9% (levels 1-18) ⇒ 2%-7.1% (levels 1-18)
• Life Steal on Abilities: 8.33%-30% (levels 1-18) ⇒ 5%-17.75% (levels 1-18)

---

Gravitum, the Gravity Cannon

• Slow Duration on Attacks: 3.5 seconds ⇒ 2.5 seconds

---

Crescendum, the Chakram

• Sentry Base Attack Speed: 0.8 ⇒ 0.64 (Note: Sentry attack speed scales with Aphelios's bonus attack speed.)

Ivern

W on-hit magic damage decreased. R Daisy! movement speed decreased, Slam! base damage decreased.

Ivern has been taking root across all skill levels after his 13.11 updates which have resulted in one terrifying tree that makes Maokai look like a Meowkai. We feel that his ability to poke down targets at a safe distance and chase down enemies with Daisy are out of line, so we're pulling back on some of Daisy's damage and mobility while also toning down the on-hit damage he gains from Brushmaker.

---

W - Brushmaker

• Bonus Magic Damage On-Hit: 30/37.5/45/52.5/60 (+30% AP) ⇒ 20/27.5/35/42.5/50 (+20% AP)

---

R - Daisy!

• Daisy Base Movement Speed: 440 ⇒ 430
• Daisy, Slam! Base Damage: 40/60/80 ⇒ 20/40/60

Kindred

Base health and armor decreased.

Kindred are elite-skewed junglers that are winning far too often in the top levels of ranked play. While Trinity Force is a strong item in their inventory, they've got other well-performing items such as Kraken Slayer, so we're targeting direct nerfs to Kindred themselves. We're specifically addressing their early invading and dueling potential. In the hands of less-comfortable Kindred players, the W passive healing is still strong and should soften the blow of these armor nerfs while clearing their own jungle.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 610 ⇒ 580
• Base Armor: 29 ⇒ 26

Lee Sin

Q damage increased.

Lee Sin has been in a fairly weak spot in solo queue and he hasn't been seen much play in Pro either (where he's often picked despite his solo queue win rate). We're specifically increasing the scaling on his Q in order to make landing it more rewarding in later stages of the game, where it's difficult to land and risky to take during large teamfights.

---

Q - Sonic Wave/Resonating Strike

• Sonic Wave Damage: 55/80/105/130/155 (+110% bonus AD) ⇒ 55/80/105/130/155 (+115% bonus AD)
• Resonating Strike Minimum Damage: 55/80/105/130/155 (+110% bonus AD) ⇒ 55/80/105/130/155 (+115% bonus AD)
• Resonating Strike Maximum Damage: 110/160/210/260/310 (+220% bonus AD) ⇒ 110/160/210/260/310 (+230% bonus AD)

Neeko

Q cooldown increased. W damage adjusted. R adjusted.

In Pro play Neeko is excellent at getting early advantages and snowballing them. We like her ability to win lanes, but she's winning them a bit too hard at the moment. With these changes we're looking to bring down Neeko's laning power and create some more counterplay opportunities for her ultimate. In exchange, we do want to give a little bit of power back to her on-hit builds to compensate for its early nerfs.

We're still monitoring how Neeko's disguise interactions should function longterm and deciding if there are any cases we're not okay with. New kinds of interactions like this will create some frustration for players, but we want to make sure it's reasonable and happening at the right times.

---

Q - Blooming Burst

• Cooldown: 7 seconds ⇒ 9/8.5/8/7.5/7 seconds

---

W - Shapesplitter

• Proc Bonus Damage: 50/80/110/140/170 (+60% AP) ⇒ 40/75/110/145/180 (+60% AP)

---

R - Pop Blossom

• Channel Disguised Duration: Neeko is disguised for the entire 1.25 second cast time ⇒ Neeko is disguised for the first 0.5 seconds of the cast, and is then revealed for the remaining 0.75 seconds

Nidalee

Base movement speed increased.

Nidalee is an exciting champion when she's played at high skill levels, however she's all but disappeared from the jungle at the highest levels of play. In order to bring her out, we're looking to give her a small movement speed buff which is especially helpful to Nidalee both in her human and cougar form.

---

Base Stats

• Movement Speed: 335 ⇒ 340

Rek'Sai

Base AD decreased, base health decreased.

We're happy to see that updates to Rek'Sai's passive healing and Queen's Wrath ability in 13.11 have shifted her into a fighter pattern, but we feel that her ability to clear camps and shrug off damage during skirmishes is too strong. To address this, we're reducing some of Rek’Sai’s stats to slow her down in the Jungle and reduce the safety of her engages. You pop off queen, just a little bit less please.

---

Base Stats

• Base Attack Damage: 61 ⇒ 58
• Base Health: 640 ⇒ 600

Rell

Health regeneration growth decreased, base MR decreased, MR growth decreased. Q damage to monsters increased. W shield decreased, dismounted attack speed adjusted. E monster damage increased.

Rell Support has been dominating recently. We’re targeting her durability here as we think her overall gameplay pattern is in a good place.

Meanwhile, the updates to Rell’s jungle monster modifiers hit a bit too hard, and Rell Jungle (Rungle? Rungle.) is struggling, so we’re upping her mods on Q and E. This should make Q the clear best first max for Rungle (which was already true but many Rells weren’t running it). We’re also flattening out the attack speed buff from her dismounted form, so it’s not something junglers are wondering if they should max. We’re glad you’re enjoying Rell though and we’ll be continuing to keep an eye on her as her midscope settles into place.

---

Base Stats

• Health Regeneration Growth: 1.7 ⇒ 1.5
• Base Magic Resistance: 32 ⇒ 30
• Magic Resistance Growth: 2.05 ⇒ 1.85

---

Q - Shattering Strike

• Bonus Damage to Monsters: 150/220/290/360/430 ⇒ 170/245/320/395/470 (Note: Max Q first now!)

---

W - Ferromancy: Crash Down/Mount Up

• Crash Down Shield: 35/60/85/110/135 (+12% of maximum HP) ⇒ 15/40/65/90/110 (+12% of maximum HP)
• Dismounted Attack Speed: 15/20/25/30/35% ⇒ 30%

---

E - Full Tilt

• Bonus Damage to Monsters: 100/145/190/235/280 ⇒ 120/165/210/255/300

Varus

W on-hit magic damage increased, damage per Blight stack decreased.

AP Varus has been causing quite the ruckus recently, especially in top lane. It's certainly an interesting build, and quite strong, but his unique niche is "I deal 1000 + 60% of your maximum health at 1200 range." We're glad that he cares about Blight stacks, but it's just too much maximum health damage. We're hoping to keep all Varus builds viable while giving high-health champions more of a fighting chance against his high damage AP combos.

---

W - Blighted Quiver

• On-Hit Magic Damage: 7/12/17/22/27 (+30% AP) ⇒ 7/12/17/22/27 (+35% AP)
• Damage per Blight Stack: 3/3.5/4/4.5/5% (+2.5% per 100 AP) of target's maximum HP ⇒ 3/3.5/4/4.5/5% (+1.5% per 100 AP) of target's maximum HP

Vi

Passive shield decreased. R cooldown increased.

Vi has had the highest Pro presence out of any Champion this season. This is in part due to her having very reliable CC with her ultimate which is especially beneficial in coordinated Pro play. We're nerfing her R cooldown to reduce its uptime while maintaining its power when casted correctly. We're also reducing the shield scaling on her passive to nerf her durability. This will reduce her synergy with Radiant Virtue, which Pros purchase virtually every game on Vi, whereas in solo queue it has a much lower purchase rate.

---

Passive - Blast Shield

• Shield Scaling: 13% of maximum health ⇒ 10% of maximum health

---

R - Cease and Desist

• Cooldown: 120/100/80 seconds ⇒ 140/115/90 seconds

Wukong

E damage to monsters modifier removed.

Wukong is relatively weak for most players, but still maintains a high presence in Pro, so we're going to be nerfing him in a way that will impact his performance at the highest skill level. We're aiming to reduce Wukong's jungle clear speed as this will be both jungle- and Pro-skewed while having minimal impact on his performance in Top Lane, which is already on the weaker side. To achieve this, we are removing the monster modifier on Nimbus Strike.

---

E - Nimbus Strike

• removedDamage to Monsters Modifier: 120% ⇒ 100% (Note: Damage to monster modifier has been removed.)

Duskblade of Draktharr

It's intended that channels like Miss Fortune's R - Bullet Time and Samira's R - Inferno Trigger break Duskblade's untargetability. Rather than triggering the effect only to immediately remove it, which would put the item on cooldown, we've decided to prevent it triggering altogether while channeling.

---

• Bugfix: Scoring a takedown while channeling will no longer proc Duskblade's untargetability

Essence Reaver

Champion power comes from both their inherent kit and the systems (runes, items, Summoner Spells, etc.) that players choose to opt into for that game. Ideally, the ratio of power that comes from those sources remains relatively consistent throughout the game. Early on, champions have a keystone and only low-level skills. As time goes on, items get completed, ultimates come online, and abilities get ranked up. But while attack damage and ability power ratios rarely change much with rank, items may each have ratios of their own. If these item ratios are too high, some champions start to become button-pressers for their item (looking at you Ezreal and Rengar) instead of standing out as their own champions.

With that in mind, the goal of the changes to Essence Reaver and Stormrazor this patch are to limit the new attack damage ratios that champions gain over time while making sure they're a powerful source of damage early in the game. This change should make Essence Reaver stronger for most users across the majority of playtime but will be slightly weaker later.

---

• Spellblade Damage: 100% Base AD (+40% Bonus AD) ⇒ 130% Base AD (+20% Bonus AD)

Statikk Shiv

Statikk Shiv has gained a few surprising users (hello, LeBlanc) and while we're excited to see players figure out cool new ways of using the item system, it's important that items don't produce poor gameplay when optimized. Shiv has an AP ratio in order to create an item that suits hybrid builds (Kai'Sa, Kayle, Varus, and Teemo as example users), but its best users ended up being mages with long-distance dashes who used it like a souped-up Lich Bane. Shiv is meant to be a strong source of wave clear that relies on champion input to finish killing minions. We're removing the AP ratio on minions to preserve that gameplay intent and the PVP AP ratio is being dropped a bit in order to make it not clearly better than items that already serve a PVP burst purpose. It's possible that LeBlanc and Zoe still enjoy Statikk Shiv with these changes, but the gameplay around those builds should be much fairer for their opponents.

---

• Energize Minion Damage: 250-450 (based on level) (+125% AP) ⇒ 250-450 (based on level) (+0% AP)
• Energize Non-Minion Damage: 100-180 (based on level) (+50% AP) ⇒ 100-180 (based on level) (+30% AP)

Stormrazor

Read Essence Reaver's context paragraph if you want to know why we're shifting power from AD ratios into base item power. Also, for those CTRL+F users who search for champion names: this is a Rengar nerf.

Stormrazor has a ton of new users in midseason and some of that is because it was initially overpowered. It's actually just a touch weak right now but is also contributing to substantial late game burst. In this patch we'll be reshaping its power to be stronger early and weaker late, which should make buying Stormrazor feel like a strong power spike while still making marksmen rely on sustained damage for late-game success. Its Ability Power ratio is being removed because it's not a good mage item anyway and we're not willing to give them three Lich Banes so we don't want them getting any weird ideas.

---

• Energize Damage: 15 (+60% AD) (+50% AP) ⇒ 90 (+25% AD) (+0% AP)

For this patch we'll mainly be reducing the buffs or nerfs on champions who no longer need them. Some of the modifier reductions are on champions who are below a 50% win rate, such as Zed or Qiyana, as they are generally harder to play (especially on ARAM) and we want to ensure that their buffs aren't too oppressive in the right hands.

We'd like champion expectation to more closely reflect Summoner's Rift, so we'll be continuing to reduce modifiers on champions when it's reasonable to do so—even if they are sometimes below a 50% win rate because win rate doesn't really tell the full story.

---

The following chromas will be released this patch:

Shan Hai Scrolls Bard, Shan Hai Scrolls Kog'Maw, Shan Hai Scrolls Lillia, Shan Hai Scrolls Tahm Kench, and Crystalis Motus Leona will be available June 15, 2023 at 20:00 UTC.

Ashe

Passive bonus damage increased. W damage increased. R damage increased.

Ashe has been chilling at a pretty weak spot after the midseason update when compared to other marksmen and supports. Our goal with these changes is to bring Ashe into a more viable state as a marksman by reverting some nerfs made to Volley's damage in a previous patch. We're also incentivizing her to opt into crit builds by making some changes to her passive.

We're also looking to give support Ashe some strength by buffing up the AP ratio of her ultimate which should strictly be a buff to her support playstyles and for the occasional AP Ashe enjoyer.

---

Passive - Frost Shot

• Bonus Damage: 115% (+(75%+35%) of critical strike chance) ⇒ 120% (+(75%+35%) of critical strike chance)

---

W - Volley

• Physical Damage: 10/25/40/55/70 (+100% AD) ⇒ 20/35/50/65/80 (+100% AD)

---

R - Enchanted Crystal Arrow

• Damage: 200/400/600 (+100% AP) ⇒ 200/400/600 (+120% AP)

Gangplank

E recharge rate decreased.

Gangplank isn't the jolly pirate he once was, struggling to find success in the current game where he can't access Ability Haste as easily. We're walking back the recharge timer nerf on his barrels with the goal of making him a little more powerful and enjoyable to play.

---

E - Powder Keg

• Recharge Timer: 18 seconds at all ranks ⇒ 18/17/16/15/14 seconds

Gragas

Passive cooldown increased. Q mana cost decreased.

Gragas has had a high presence in Pro play recently due to his low counterplay trades and his ability to use his passive to sustain himself in lane. Increasing the cooldown of his passive should help make Graggy more manageable to deal with.

---

Passive - Happy Hour

• Cooldown: 8 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds

---

Q - Barrel Roll

• Mana Cost: 80 ⇒ 80/75/70/65/60

K'Sante

E cooldown increased.

Despite being relatively weak in the hands of the average player, K'Sante is quite popular and powerful in skilled play. Due to this we'll be giving him a Pro-skewed nerf that will bring him to a more balanced state in higher levels of play while having a minimal impact on his average play win rates.

---

E - Footwork

• Cooldown: 9/8.5/8/7.5/7 seconds ⇒ 10.5/10/9.5/9/8.5 seconds

Kai'Sa

AD growth increased.

As a consequence of the new builds introduced in midseason, Kai'Sa's evolution thresholds now need to be adjusted to better match the items she's opting into. Our goal with these changes is to make her Q evolution feel better. For example, this should grant her Q evolution at level 9 with Stormrazor, Pickaxe, Doran's Blade, and 1 Adaptive instead of having to wait until level 11.

---

Base Stats

• Attack Damage Growth: 2 ⇒ 2.6

Kha'Zix

Base AD decreased.

Kha'Zix is currently on the top of the food chain in too many ways: power levels, pick rate, and ban rate. Our goal this patch is to reduce the power (and frustration) that he brings into games, especially at higher skill brackets which should now see reduced raw damage and a slower clear speed.

---

Base Stats

• Base Attack Damage: 63 ⇒ 60

Kog'Maw

W base damage decreased.

Kog'Maw has found a lot of success with a shiny new Mythic item that feels good for him to pick up. Due to that, we're walking back some buffs to his main damage ability without punishing his other spells' recent updates.

---

W - Bio-Arcane Barrage

• Bonus Magic Damage: 3.5/4.25/5/5.75/6.5% (+ 1% per 100 AP) of target maximum health ⇒ 3/3.75/4.5/5.25/6% (+ 1% per 100 AP) of target maximum health

Lucian

Passive damage decreased, activation conditions adjusted.

Lucian performs exceptionally well with a few enchanters due to them having plenty of abilities that instantly proc Vigilance by healing, shielding, or buffing Lucian. Nami and Milio are particularly strong due to the buff proc synergizing well with Nami's E and Milio's passive which has really limited the amount of other Champions Lucian can lane with.

To address this, we'll be replacing the buff proc of Vigilance with nearby ally immobilization, which should increase Lucian's viability with many Champs. Lucian will still have synergy (increased synergy in some cases) with many enchanters—this will just limit the amount of stacks an enchanter can give Lucian without first engaging their opponents.

Our goal with these changes is to help Lucian players confidently lock in their Champion with or without enchanters, and that we can see some exciting new lane partners for Lucian in Pro play.

---

Passive - Lightslinger

• Vigilance Damage: 14 (+20% AD) ⇒ 10(+15% AD)
• Activation Conditions: When Lucian is empowered by another ally, his next two basic attacks will deal bonus magic damage ⇒ When Lucian is healed or shielded by an ally, or when a nearby enemy champion is immobilized, his next two basic attacks will deal bonus magic damage.

Lulu

Base armor decreased. Passive magic damage decreased. E shield value increased.

Lulu has been a Pro play mainstay for quite a while but isn't overpowered for most players in other skill brackets. As the laning phase has a large impact in professional play, we're aiming for the nerf to be pro-skewed while retaining her current power level for other players.

---

Base Stats

• Armor: 29 ⇒ 26

---

Passive - Pix, Faerie Companion

• Magic Damage: 15-117 (based on level) ⇒ 9-111 (based on level)

---

E - Help, Pix!

• Shield Value: 75/110/145/180/215 (+55% AP) ⇒ 75/115/155/195/235 (+55% AP)

Milio

Base armor decreased, armor growth decreased. Passive empowered attack damage decreased.

Milio is a really cool fire enchanter and is specifically designed to be a defensive one with a team-wide cleanse and tools to keep his whole team cozy and warm. But what isn't cozy or warm is Milio's ability to help output tons of damage AND provide his team with such strong defensive tools. He's the number one support in Pro play so far and definitely one of the strongest champions in League of Legends. Though there are numerous nerfs here, the hope is to land the lad in a balanced spot.

---

Base Stats

• Armor: 28 ⇒ 26
• Armor Growth: 4.9 ⇒ 4.6

---

Passive - Fired Up!

• Empowered Attack Damage: 15%-35% AD (based on ally's level) ⇒ 15% AD (based on ally's level)

Nasus

Passive life steal increased. R cooldown now decreases with rank.

Nasus has been on a tight leash in solo queue recently. We're buffing up his passive to help in matchups where he's able to stay on the minion wave and life steal without affecting counter matchups where he can't attack and Q as often. We're also reducing the cooldown on his ultimate in later stages of the game, where he especially relies on it due to the durability and range it gives in teamfights.

---

Passive - Soul Eater

• Life Steal: 9/14/19% ⇒ 11/16/21%

---

R - Fury of the Sands

• Cooldown: 120 seconds ⇒ 120/100/80 seconds

Orianna

R damage increased.

Orianna is just a little weak right now, coming up just a tiny bit short of the main stage. We'd like to tune Orianna as a fragile, low mobility carry with strong and satisfying spells (more 3k ELO shockwaves), rather than making her more consistent with less high moments. This will help her from being held back for regular players on account of Pro Play.

Long term, we'd like to balance her around her Ult being the highest satisfaction, highest counterplay and most explosive moment of her kit. We're giving her a wee bit more damage on her ultimate to help give her an extra push that should (hopefully) put her into the spotlight.

---

R - Command: Shockwave

• Magic Damage: 250/350/450 (+90% AP) ⇒ 250/400/550 (+95% AP)

Rell

Default adaptive stat changed. Q cast time decreased, damage decreased, monster damage adjusted. W Crash Down damage decreased, monster damage adjusted. W Mount Up monster damage adjusted. E damage decreased, monster damage adjusted, damage cap to monsters added.

After the hotfix in 13.11, Rell is looking very strong in both Support and Jungle. Her Q is still feeling a bit on the slow side which isn't meeting our goals of smoothing out her kit's rough edges. So we're looking to help the reliability and feel of the Q, while still overall lowering her power in both of her roles. We're also looking to get her epic monster damage to more reasonable numbers while making sure she'll still have a very powerful smite secure with E and Q. These jungle changes should impact her midgame clear mostly while avoiding hitting her early clear too hard.

---

Base Stats

• Default Adaptive Force Stat: Attack Damage ⇒ Ability Power

---

Q - Shattering Strike

• Cast Time: 0.5 seconds ⇒ 0.4 seconds

---

W - Ferromancy: Mount Up

• Jungle Monster Damage: 300% of base damage ⇒ 55/110/165/220/275 bonus damage to monsters

E - Full Tilt

• Magic Damage: 35/50/65/80/95 (+50% AP) (+4% of target maximum health) ⇒ 25/35/45/55/65 (+50% AP) (+3% of target maximum health)
• Jungle Monster Damage: 250% of base damage ⇒ 100/145/190/235/280 bonus damage to monsters
• newPercent Damage Cap Against Monsters: 150

Rumble

Base health decreased, health growth increased, base health regeneration decreased. Passive heat limit increased, overheat monster damage cap adjusted, overheat attack speed increased, overheat duration decreased. Q damage adjusted, minion damage decreased, monster damage cap added. W shield adjusted. E heat generation increased. R cooldown increased.

Rumble has historically had a higher play rate in top than in mid and we've let those players down over the years by not maintaining top Rumble as viable. He's also an extremely Elite-skewed champion due to his primary strength around pushing and roaming to bot lane. These changes are meant to lower his early roam threat and give him melee 1v1 power and late-game scaling in its place. Reshaping his heat structure is an attempt to make the Danger Zone more forgiving, his heat costs more intuitive, and lessen Overheat's punishment.

We're hoping for a result where top lane becomes Rumble's best role with jungle and mid lane being viable alternatives for fans of those play styles. Though he's got new incentives to build health, we're not hoping to turn him into a juggernaut, just simply make him a bit more durable in the mid game.

---

R - The Equalizer

• Cooldown: 100/85/70 seconds ⇒ 130/105/80 seconds

Ryze

Passive bonus mana increased. E magic damage increased, missile speed increased.

Ryze is currently one of the weakest mid laners in the game with no presence in Pro. Since he has some room for buffs now, we're looking to give his passive and E a ratio increase in order to improve his scaling, which is a lower-risk buff for Pro play than other options. We're also giving a small speed increase to his E, as this will help in close-up fights.

---

Passive - Arcane Mastery

• Maximum Mana Increase: 6% per 100 AP ⇒ 10% per 100 AP

---

E - Spell Flux

• Magic Damage: 60/90/120/150/180 (+ 45% AP) (+ 2% bonus mana) ⇒ 60/90/120/150/180 (+ 50% AP) (+ 2% bonus mana)
• Missile Speed: 3500 ⇒ 4000

Sivir

Attack damage growth decreased. W bounce damage increased.

Sivir is sitting a bit weaker than her marksmen peers, so we're looking to revert some previous AD ratio buffs to her Ricochet now that she has the space for more power to be added to her kit.

---

Base Stats

• Attack Damage Growth: 2.8 ⇒ 2.5

---

W - Ricochet

• Bounce Damage: 25/30/35/40/45% AD ⇒ 30/35/40/45/50% AD

Yuumi

E bonus attack speed decreased. R heal per hit decreased.

Yuumi is overperforming across all skill brackets, including Pro, and benefited from the 13.10 Support item changes. We're proactively dropping her general power levels while she's overperforming across the board with the goal to keep Yuumi playable for the rest of her non-Pro playerbase.

These changes should help address the current issues we see elevating Yuumi into Pro. Long term, we intend to continue to balance her away from Pro and Elite play and to work towards making her a champ suitable for newer players to the game, especially with friends.

---

W - You and Me!

• Best Friend Bonus: 10-20% Heal and Shield Power (based on ally level) ⇒ 5/7.5/10/12.5/15% (based on spell rank)

• Attack Speed Buff: 35% (+8% per 100 AP) ⇒ 25/27.5/30/32.5/35% (+ 8% per 100 AP)

R - Final Chapter

• Heal per Hit: 35/50/65 (+15% AP) ⇒ 25/40/55 (+ 15% AP)

Zeri

Movement speed increased. Passive removed, Q passive added in its place. Q no longer activates Sheen. E critical strike multiplier increased.

Zeri has made a resurgence thanks to her tanky Trinity Force build and the return of certain enchanters. In this patch we have two goals for Zeri: stop her from itemizing like a bruiser and removing her synergies with shielding enchanters.

Zeri's mobility is one of the core parts of her design, zipping and zapping all around the Rift like a lightning bolt. However, given this mobility we don't think it's okay for Zeri to easily pick up health so that she becomes both hard-to-catch AND hard-to-kill. Due to this we're removing Q's synergy with Sheen that allowed Zeri to itemize as a bruiser and her shield sapping passive which gave her too much damage mitigation.

On the second goal, Zeri's shielding passive has proven to be much too powerful when paired with the right enchanters which meant Zeri's strength was always tied to her support's strength and balancing her always meant balancing around enchanters. Charging Zeri up with the right support really overloads her in Pro play in particular, so we've opted to rip off the band-aid here by removing her passive altogether. With this change we'll be able to balance Zeri more around her own personal power and less around her support which will let us get her into a better spot long term.

---

Base Stats

• Movement Speed: 330 ⇒ 335

---

Passive - Living Battery

• removedNot So Fast: The passive where Zeri steals 45% of the shields she damages and gains 10% movement speed for 2 seconds whenever she receives a shield has been removed.
• Q Passive Goes Here: Q - Burst Fire's passive has been moved to be Zeri's primary passive.

---

Q - Burst Fire

• removedQ Passive to Passive: Q's passive has been moved to be Zeri's primary passive.
• Trinity No More: Q - Burst Fire no longer activates Sheen.

---

E - Spark Surge

• Maximum On-Hit Critical Strike Multiplier: 65% ⇒ 85%

Ardent Censer

Ardent Censer is providing a lot of damage to marksmen, contributing to ADC death ball and limiting support output diversity. It's the most common enchanter legendary at the moment, which is a space that should be competitive with Redemption, Mikael's, and other options.

• Sanctify On-Hit Damage: 15-30 (based on level) ⇒ 15

Bloodthirster

Bloodthirster is the ultimate greed item for ADCs who can stay safe and deal high damage from the back line. We're upping its cost to be in line with that role as the item is currently overtuned.

• Total Cost: 3200 ⇒ 3400

Galeforce

Galeforce is a bit overpowered on marksmen and overperforms substantially on both Yasuo and Yone, so the critical strike ratio is being replaced with an AD one. The risk here (and the reason it initially had crit scaling) is poaching by assassins, but an overall reduction in power should keep the item in line for all users across the board. Some players (and one champion) might be pleased to know it takes 444.4444 bonus attack damage to match the damage from the old crit scaling.

• Attack Damage: 55 ⇒ 50
• Cloudburst Active Damage: 150-350 (Levels 8-18) (+200% Critical Strike Chance) ⇒ 150-350 (Level 8-18) (+45% bonus AD)

Immortal Shieldbow

Players have (for the most part) identified that Shieldbow is not a good first item. Unfortunately, the item just isn't very strong when purchased later, either. This is a relatively light buff, but one that crit users should be able to feel in the mid game.

• Life Steal: 7% ⇒ 10%

Imperial Mandate

Imperial Mandate has found itself a new home as a legendary support item and has quickly become one of the default purchases as enchanters' second item. While that's awesome, the item is overpowered and is contributing to League being at one of its burstiest points in recent memory. Overall, these changes are intended as a small nerf, particularly targeting the item's burst output.

• Coordinated Fire Application: 35-75 (Level 1-18) ⇒ 40-60 (Level 8-18)
• Coordinated Fire Proc: 70-150 (Level 1-18) ⇒ 80-120 (Level 8-18)
• Coordinated Fire Movement Speed Bonus: 20% ⇒ 25%

Moonstone Renewer

Moonstone is weak on every champion that isn't named Soraka. We're changing the formulas to always give the values that allies of level 14+ were getting in most cases. This typically ends up augmenting the value of heals and shield by ~5% per cast, and giving shields more leniency due to them feeling less disruptive.

• Heal: 20-40% (based on ally's level 1-18) ⇒ 35%
• Shield: 30-40% (based on ally's level 1-18) ⇒ 40%
• Same Target Heal Bonus: 15-30% (based on ally's level 1-18) ⇒ 25%
• Same Target Shield bonus: 20-30% (based on ally's level 1-18) ⇒ 30%
• Mythic Passive: 5 Ability Haste ⇒ 5 Heal and Shield Power

Phantom Dancer

Phantom Dancer is underperforming compared to other mid-range crit items so it's just receiving a small buff this patch.

• Attack Speed: 30% ⇒ 35%

Rapid Firecannon

Rapid Firecannon got substantially stronger when its stat profile moved toward attack damage and away from attack speed. Since the AD on the item naturally scales with critical strike chance, the Energize damage doesn't need to be anywhere near as high as it was before.

• Energize Damage: 60-140 (based on level) ⇒ 60

Statikk Shiv

Statikk Shiv is meant to be your best source of wave clear without just one-shotting the caster minions. It's still a bit underpowered, so the damage is being ramped up in early game in order to more closely align with minion health bars.

• Energize Damage: 80-190 (Level 7-18) ⇒ 100-180 (Level 6-18)

Overheal

Overheal was meant as an avenue for disenfranchised ADC players to opt into more durability for the games where they needed it. In reality, most players don't typically mess with their rune pages, but pros sure do. Moving Overheal back to a maximum health ratio will open its users up to self-sustaining fighters and tanks while nerfing it for marksmen. Technically, Aphelios gets more shielding levels 1-5, but this is overall a significant nerf otherwise. Meanwhile, it's substantially stronger for high health champions like fighters. Overall, this is still the strongest or second strongest Overheal has ever been.

• Shield Value: 20-300 (based on level) ⇒ 11% of Maximum Health

MID LANE GOLD

A fair bit ago we nerfed mid lane minion gold to reduce mid lane agency at early points in the game. While this was successful, the risk of nerfing mid lane mages over roamers has indeed become a reality and placed mages in a not-so-great position. This is certainly not the only issue with mid lane mages, but is one that we think we can mitigate now.

• Here comes the MONEY: Mid Lane minions are worth one less gold each before 14 minutes ⇒ Mid lane minions are worth the same amount of gold as minions in other lanes. Minion equality has been achieved.

RED BUFF

Red buff is way more prevalent now that Buff Sharing exists. Due to this we'll need to bring its power levels down a tad by reducing its late game damage output and retaining its slow and regeneration properties.

• Damage: 6+6*Level (12-114) ⇒ 6+4*Level (10-78)
• Slow Amount: 10/15/25 ⇒ 10/15/20 (halved for ranged champions)
• Health Regeneration: 1/3/9% ⇒ 1/3/5%

BUFFS

• Anivia: 100% Damage Dealt ⇒ 105% Damage Dealt
• Jax: 100% Damage Dealt ⇒ 105% Damage Dealt
• Twitch: 100% Damage Taken ⇒ 95% Damage Taken
• Warwick: 100% Healing Done ⇒ 105% Healing Done

Rell

Midscope, all abilities (except ultimate) adjusted.

We think Rell’s fantasy of being a mounted lancer on horseback who transforms into heavy infantry by literally metalbending her horse into armor is compelling and exciting, but unfortunately she hasn’t fully lived up to that fantasy. In a Dev Blog back in March, we outlined the following goals:

• Lean into the Mounted/Dismounted fantasy: Let Rell feel fast—like she can charge enemies down while mounted—and let her feel like a formidable fighter while dismounted.
• Increase Play Pattern Variance: Give Rell more options in lane and teamfights besides landing W, and make sure that while she’s dismounted, there are useful things she can do.
• Sand off some QoL issues: We’ve heard your feedback on some of the more frustrating parts of Rell’s kit, so we wanted to help alleviate some of them. We want to smooth out things like poor ward clearing, not being able to use E while alone, and Q having reduced power on subsequent enemies.

Rell’s new E should provide the giddyup she needs to charge down her enemies and proactively start fights, and the extra range and attack speed while dismounted let her participate more in the fight.

Adding a stun to her Q will let her have a more varied combat pattern that's not just looking for engages with W. Now she can fish with Q and follow up with a Crash Down if she lands it. With some new combos in her saddlebags, she should be feeling less binary and more flexible.

And finally, we’ve given her a normal attack speed, and removed the cap on how fast she can go while dismounted, which goes a long way to help improve how she feels to play (ward clearing is also much faster now!).

• Knock Up Duration: 1 second ⇒ 0.75 seconds
• Slidespeed: 85% of jump speed ⇒ 100% of jump speed
• newActually Jungle Rell Though…: Now deals 250% damage to jungle camps

---

W - Ferromancy: Mount Up

• removedMounted Bonus Movement Speed: Rell no longer gains bonus passive movement speed while mounted.
• Initial Movement Speed Bonus: 25/30/45/40/45% for 3.5 seconds ⇒ 30% that rapidly decays over 1 second

---

E - Attract and Repel

• newPassive - Mounted Alacrity: Rell gains 5/8/11/14/17/20/24/28/32/36/40/45/50 move speed while mounted at levels 1-13, reduced by 50% in combat.
• newActive - Full Tilt: Rell and an ally charge, gaining ramping Movement Speed up to 15/17.5/20/22.5/25% over 3 seconds, this is doubled to 30/35/40/45/50% toward enemies or each other. Additionally, Rell’s next Attack or Shattering Strike explodes in an area for 25/35/45/55/65 (+30% AP) (+2/2.5/3/3.5/4% Maximum Health Damage).

Akali

Q base damage increased.

Akali is currently struggling to pull off her cool ninja shenanigans in both solo queue and Pro play. In this patch we’re looking to buff her Q damage slightly so that she has a more manageable time in lane before scaling into the slippery assassin we know her to be.

---

Q - Five Point Strike

• Magic Damage: 30/55/80/105/130 (+ 65% AD) (+ 60% AP) ⇒ 40/65/90/115/140 (+ 65% AD) (+ 60% AP)

Amumu

W damage decreased.

Amumu might be lonely in lore, but he hasn’t been left out of the patch notes recently. Our 13.9 buffs went a bit overboard, specifically on the power of his early clear and skirmishing. So we’re going to lower them back down to near the previous values, but leave the scaling damage increase on Despair.

---

W - Despair

• Base Damage per Tick (0.5 seconds): 10 ⇒ 7

Aphelios

Passive bonus AD decreased.

Since Aphelios typically likes to spec into AD early, he’s able to leverage the extra damage to dominate early laning which feels a little odd considering he’s more of the scaling silent type. This should help make laning against him a bit easier for opponents.

---

Passive - The Hitman and the Seer

• Bonus Attack Damage: 5/10/15/20/25/30 ⇒ 4.5/9/13.5/18/22.5/27

Aurelion Sol

E mana cost increased, magic damage AP ratio decreased.

Mages as a whole got a small power increase from the changes in patch 13.10, including the already powerful ones. Our friendly space dragon was already sitting above the stars, so we have a few changes to bring him down to earth. We’re making his Singularity cost more mana in the early laning phase to help opponents delay his farming while also lessening how much damage the spell does due to its incredibly good utility scaling.

---

E - Singularity

• Mana Cost: 60/70/80/90/100 ⇒ 80/85/90/95/100
• Magic Damage per Tick (0.25 seconds): 2.5/3.75/5/6.25/7.5 (6.25% AP) ⇒ 2.5/3.75/5/6.25/7.5 (5% AP)

Azir

Q cooldown decreased. W summon range increased, AP ratio increased.

Azir's skill bracket skew has flattened significantly and he isn't seeing any Pro play, which means there’s some room for smaller buffs. This time around, we're aiming for changes that have been specifically requested by live Azir players, so the goal here is that he'll be a much more satisfying champion without breaking the Pro play bank.

---

Q - Conquering Sands

• Cooldown: 14/12/10/8/6 seconds ⇒ 12/10.5/9/7.5/6 seconds

---

W - Arise!

• Summon Range: 500 ⇒ 525
• Magic Damage: 0-92 (based on level) (+50/67/84/101/118) (+55% AP) ⇒ 0-92 (based on level) (+50/67/84/101/118)(+60% AP)

Ivern

Q follow up adjusted, cast range increased, now refunds cooldown when used on non-Epic monsters. W adjusted, now gives allies bonus on-hit damage, vision from spawn duration increased, brush despawn conditions changed. E shield now refreshes if no enemies were hit by the detonation. Daisy stats adjusted, Slam! Damage increased.

With buff sharing becoming a part of the game this patch, we wanted to offer Ivern some buffs to the rest of his kit in exchange for removing his unique mechanic. Overall these changes shouldn't be too transformative, but his base spells should feel better in almost every situation they're cast in. Ivern’s Q will be able to reach between most camps on both sides of the map, and Daisy should feel a lot more responsive with faster attacks and move speed!

If you go through the change list, you’ll quickly realize that this isn’t the midscope we promised for Ivern. The reason we’ve decided to not give Ivern a midscope this patch is because player feedback around our proposed midscope was indicating we were on the wrong track, and internally we just didn’t feel like the designs were hitting the quality bar to ship. So for now, we’re offering Ivern some buffs that will help him become a healthier tree until he’s ready for a transplant.

---

Q - Rootcaller

• Jump for Joy!: Ivern can now recast Q to jump directly to the target, while Ivern and allies can issue an attack command to move to their auto attack range’s distance away from the target.
• Cast Range: 1100 ⇒ 1150
• Non-Epic Change: Q’s cooldown is now reduced by 50% when used on non-Epic monsters.

---

W - Brushmaker

• Redefining Death Bush: Brushmaker’s Passive bonus magic damage on-hit when exiting the brush for 3 seconds now applies to ally champions.
• Ally On-Hit Damage: 5/7.5/10/12.5/15 (+10% Ivern's AP)
• Brush Spawn Vision Duration: 3 seconds ⇒ 8 seconds
• Brush Duration: 30 seconds ⇒ Up to a maximum of 45 seconds or until your team loses vision inside of them
• Lookie!: Auto attacks empowered with Brushmaker now have a special visual effect to reflect the on-hit damage (note: this change is visual only).

---

E - Triggerseed

• Change: If, when the shield detonates, there are no enemies that are hit by the detonation and the shield has not been broken, the duration of the shield is renewed.

---

R - Daisy

• Daisy Attack Range: 125 ⇒ 175
• Daisy HP Regeneration: 0 ⇒ 2.5 health per second
• Daisy Movement Speed: 420 ⇒ 440
• Daisy Attack Speed: 0.7 ⇒ 0.75
• Daisy's Bonus Attack Speed: 30/50/70 ⇒ 30/45/60
• Daisy, Slam! Damage: 100% of Daisy's AD (+20% AP) ⇒ 40/60/80 (+100% of Daisy's AD) (+20% AP)

Jinx

Attack speed growth decreased.

Jinx has been getting away with strong laning phases despite her identity being a scaling marksman. We’re reverting her Attack Speed Growth introduced in patch 13.5 to reduce her overall rocket DPS.

---

Base Stats

• Attack Speed Growth: 1.36 ⇒ 1

Kalista

Base health increased, health regeneration increased, attack damage decreased. Passive vision interaction adjusted, on-hit damage increased. Q damage increased. E cooldown decreased, damage adjusted.

Kalista’s auto attacks are feeling weak at the moment due to the 90% total AD ratio and missing during vision loss. We noticed that Kalista was really hurting after 13.10, so we're targeting some pretty large buffs aimed at usability and durability for her. The changes to base AD, Q, and E keep her damage output roughly equal to before.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 574 ⇒ 600
• Health Regeneration: 3.75 ⇒ 4
• Health Regeneration Growth: 0.55 ⇒ 0.75
• Attack Damage: 66 ⇒ 61
• Attack Damage Growth: 3.75 ⇒ 3.25

---

Passive - Martial Poise

• You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide: Kalista’s basic attacks no longer miss if a target leaves vision.
• Damage Dealt On-Hit: 90% of total AD ⇒ 100% of total AD

---

Q - Pierce

• Physical Damage: 20/85/150/215/280 (+100% AD) ⇒ 20/85/150/215/280 (+105% AD)

---

E - Rend

• Cooldown: 14/12.5/11/9.5/8 seconds ⇒ 10/9.5/9/8.5/8 seconds
• Physical Damage Per Extra Stack: 10/16/22/28/34 (+23.2/27.55/31.9/36.25/40.6% AD) (+20% AP) ⇒ 8/12/16/20/24 (+25/30/35/40/45% AD) (+20% AP)

Rek’Sai

Passive refresh rate increased, heal increased. Q (Unburrowed) cooldown now decreases with rank, buff duration decreased, attacks refresh buff duration, buff no longer ends prematurely when underground, (Burrowed) vision duration increased. W adjusted.

Rek'Sai was one of the non-Assassin champions that was bound to the old Prowler's Claw and took a big hit in power with its removal. We're taking this opportunity to shift Rek'Sai away from Assassin-burst builds (which her kit was never really made to support) and move her strengths towards a more durable Fighter with a chunkier passive heal and better feeling auto attacks. We're also including a few small QoL buffs that should make playing the Queen feel a bit more royal.

---

Passive - Fury of the Xer’Sai

• Tremor Sense Refresh Rate: 1.5 seconds ⇒ 1 second
• Heal with Maximum Fury: 20-190 (based on level) ⇒ [15 (+20 for every 3 levels)] + [2% (+2% Maximum HP for every 3 levels)]

---

Q - Queen’s Wrath (Unburrowed)

• Cooldown: 4 seconds at all levels ⇒ 4/3.5/3/2.5/2 based on rank
• Buff Duration: 5 seconds ⇒ 3 seconds
• newHit and Buff: Basic attacks now refresh the buff duration of Queen's Wrath
• removedNot So Fast: Q’s buff no longer ends prematurely if Rek'Sai is Burrowed for more than 1.5 seconds.

---

Q - Queen’s Wrath (Burrowed)

• Reveal Duration: 2.5 seconds ⇒ 5 seconds

---

W - Unburrow

• QoL Update: Targeted range increased to match untargeted range. (Note: This will mean that the optimization where it was better to line Rek’Sai up to the edge of your knock up and press W at the perfect time instead of just clicking on the opponent has been removed.)

Renekton

E cooldown decreased. R cooldown decreased, magic damage increased.

Renekton has been a bit weak in solo queue, feeling more like a plush than a terrifying butcher, so we’re looking to decrease his E cooldown to bring the timing a bit closer to his other abilities. This will give Renekton more opportunities to engage/escape, and will make losing the Prowler's Claw active not feel as bad. We’re also looking to increase both the power and uptime of his ultimate.

---

E - Slice and Dice

• Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14 seconds ⇒ 16/15/14/13/12 seconds

---

R - Dominus

• Cooldown: 120 seconds at all ranks ⇒ 120/100/80 seconds
• Magic Damage Per Tick (0.5 seconds): 25/50/75 ⇒ 30/60/90

Twisted Fate

W cooldown decreased, no longer decreases with rank.

Twisted Fate’s been drawing quite a few of the wrong cards recently, and he could use the odds being a little more in his favor. Lowering the cooldown on his W should give him more opportunities to draw what he needs and put more pressure on his opponents early.

---

W - Pick A Card

• Change: 8/7.5/7/6.5/6 seconds ⇒ 6 seconds at all ranks

Ardent Censer

Ardent Censer is currently the highest winrate second item purchase for enchanter supports which goes against our goals of promoting support item diversity. We’re tuning down some numbers to keep it in line with Staff of Flowing Water to avoid one becoming clearly better than the other.

• Bonus Attack Speed: 15-30% (based on target’s level) ⇒ 20%

Duskblade of Drakkthar

Duskblade has been overshadowed by its purpler sibling. Duskblade is meant to be the more damage-heavy counterpart to Ghostblade in longer fights with enemies getting low, but simply lacks the punch compared to the other options.

With these changes we're buffing the passive amp so that it's a more viable damage option. We're also looking at if the Mythic Passives are in a healthy place, but for now we're staying with the small buff to Duskblade and a big nerf to Ghostblade.

• Nightstalker Bonus Ability Damage: 0-15% (based on target’s missing health) ⇒ 0-20% (based on target’s missing health)
• Maximum Bonus Damage Health Threshold: 20% remaining health ⇒ 30% remaining health

Echoes of Helia

Echoes of Helia is too strong at healing, no way around it. We envision Echoes as an offensive enchanter item that excels in skirmishes, but right now it's just performing too well, especially when it comes to healing (which starts to get into Moonstone’s niche). Going forward we’ll be keeping an eye on this item’s healing outputs, but will mainly be focusing on crafting it into a support damage item option.

• Passive Healing Per Shard: 20-100 (levels 1-18) ⇒ 20-80 (levels 6-18)
• Passive Damage Per Shard: 30-200 (levels 1-18) ⇒ 30-180 (levels 6-18)

Galeforce

Despite popular opinion heading into the patch, it turns out Galeforce is indeed strong, even with the opportunity cost of Infinity Edge and Navori Quickblades. We're walking back some of the preemptive buffs it got heading into 13.10, specifically targeting its strongest synergies in Yasuo and Yone, where the item far exceeds their other options.

• Active Damage: 150-350 (based on level) (+250% critical strike chance) ⇒ 150-350 (based on level) (+200% critical strike chance)
• Maximum Execution Damage: 160% ⇒ 150%

Kraken Slayer

Crit marksmen are dealing too much magic damage in long engagements, so we're switching Kraken Slayer to deal physical damage instead of magic. Because champions all have more armor than magic resist, this necessitates increasing its numbers just to keep it power-neutral. In addition, we're looking to buff Kraken Slayer slightly. Now Kraken will deal more damage to minions in all contexts and typically deal more damage to champions after building some form of armor penetration. Otherwise, the numbers should be pretty similar against most targets. One final note: Because more of its damage is coming from base damage, low-AD builds like Rageblade on-hit builds are even more buffed here, where the item is severely underperforming.

• Damage Type: Magic ⇒ Physical
• Change: 20 (+60% AD) (+45% AP) ⇒ 35-85 (levels 8-18) (+65% AD) (+60% AP)

Moonstone Renewer

Moonstone Renewer is weaker compared to the other Support Mythic item options, so we want to bring it more in line so it feels like a choice worth making. We’re planning to do this by doubling up on healing in order to make it a more useful tool for the champions looking to buy this item, namely, healers. We also fixed a bug for Moonstone that was not visually reflecting the chain and another where the AOE shield was not functioning properly.

• Chain Heal: 20-35% (based on ally’s level) ⇒ 20-40% (based on ally’s level)
• Single Heal: 15-25% (based on ally’s level) ⇒ 15-30% (based on ally’s level)

Navori Quickblades

Quickblades has fallen pretty far behind its crit brethren in recent times. The item doesn't need more ability haste than it already has, and overall the Marksman class is about dealing extra damage in the first place, so we're shifting some of its ability haste into attack damage to better fit this role.

• Item Recipe: Caulfield’s Warhammer + Pickaxe + Cloak of Agility + 825 gold ⇒ Caulfield’s Warhammer + B.F. Sword + Cloak of Agility + 400 gold
• Attack Damage: 60 ⇒ 65
• Ability Haste: 20 ⇒ 15
• Transcendence Cooldown Reduction: 12% ⇒ 15%
• Mythic Passive: 5 Ability Haste ⇒ 5 Attack Damage

Runaan’s Hurricane

Hurricane’s a bit overtuned after the added extra power last patch, despite the small increase in gold cost. We’re tapping down the on-hit damage which should help keep crit Marksmen from dealing too much magic damage.

• On-Hit Damage: 30 ⇒ 15

Statikk Shiv

Shiv launched a bit underpowered. Its gold efficiency is in a reasonable spot, so we're amping up its more unique aspects. While we've seen some mages like Veigar try this item out, it doesn't appear to be too powerful in their hands, so we’re leaving the AP ratio in place.

• Energize Damage: 60-170 (levels 7-18) (+50% AP) ⇒ 80-190 (levels 7-18) (+50% AP)
• Damage to Minions Modifier: 220% ⇒ 250%

Stormrazor

Stormrazor came out of the Midseason gates swinging, landing a bit too strong. It's overly gold efficient and is contributing a bit too much burst. We're aware that Kai'Sa currently relies on Stormrazor in order to access Q evolutions easily and we'll be looking at this facet of hers in the near future.

• Attack Damage: 55 ⇒ 50
• Change: 25 (+65% Total AD) (+50% AP) ⇒ 15 (+60% Total AD) (+50% AP)

Youmuu’s Ghostblade

Of all the new items in patch 13.10, Ghostblade was a clear winner.

We want Ghostblade to be the ideal item for roaming around the map with a small bump in damage for one big initial burst. It's currently giving way too much damage way too often, so we're lowering the bonus Lethality and slowing down how fast the stacks accumulate. This should keep Ghostblade as the speedy item option, but should limit how often it's giving tons of damage to its users.

• Ability Haste: 20 ⇒ 15
• Bonus Lethality at Maximum Stacks: 8-20 (based on level) ⇒ 3-12 (based on level)
• Distance Per Stack: 45 ⇒ 55 (Note: this equates to roughly 20% slower stack generation.)

Youmuu’s Wake

Ornn item upgrade for Youmuu’s Ghostblade.

• Ability Haste: 25 ⇒ 20

Buff sharing has been pretty similar since the dawn of League. You get your first two or three buffs, but then your mid laner and ADC start thinking they deserve them. Can you believe it?? The nerve of those laners.

In its current state there is pressure for Junglers to give up their buffs to laners at their own expense, which also creates some social friction and coordination challenges. Our goal with the introduction of buff sharing is to reduce the “feels bad” moments when jungler’s have to give up their buffs. This should help Jungler’s feel like they have control over their own jungle while still letting them be a team player and help out those needy laners.

• newBuff Wisps: When a Jungler kills Red Brambleback or the Blue Sentinel while their Smite is fully upgraded, they will still receive the camp’s buff, but in addition a Buff Wisp will be dropped at the camp’s spawn point. An ally can pick it up by walking within the Wisp’s radius within 1 minute of the camp dying before it disappears. Note: You do not need to Smite the camp at any time in order for the Buff Wisp to drop, but Smite MUST be fully upgraded.
• But I’m Not the Jungler: If a player that is not the Jungler kills the Red Brambleback or the Blue Sentinel BUT the Jungler’s Smite is fully upgraded, then a Buff Wisp will still drop, but it will only be visible to the allied Jungler. It will still only remain for 1 minute.

Buffs

• Bel’Veth: 100% Damage Dealt ⇒ 105% Damage Dealt
• Quinn: 0% Attack Speed Scaling ⇒ 2.5% Attack Speed Scaling
• Tristana: 100% Damage Taken ⇒ 95% Damage Taken
• Olaf: 95% Damage Dealt ⇒ 100% Damage Dealt
• Mordekaiser: 105% Damage Taken ⇒ 100% Damage Taken
• Samira: 105% Damage Taken ⇒ 100% Damage Taken
• Vayne: 100% Damage Dealt ⇒ 105% Damage Dealt
• Irelia: 0 Ability Haste ⇒ 20 Ability Haste

---

Nerfs

• Aurelion Sol: 0 Ability Haste ⇒ -20 Ability Haste
• Vladmir: 100% Damage Dealt ⇒ 95% Damage Dealt
• Pyke: 85% Damage Taken ⇒ 90% Damage Taken
• Kayn: 105% Damage Dealt ⇒ 100% Damage Dealt
• Bard: 80% Damage Taken ⇒ 85% Damage Taken
• Galio: 105% Damage Taken ⇒ 110% Damage Taken
• LeBlanc: 110% Damage Dealt ⇒ 105% Damage Dealt

Adjustments

• Ashe: -20 Ability Haste ⇒ -30 Ability Haste, 115% Damage Taken ⇒ 100% Damage Taken

5/16/2023 Patch Delay

24 Hour Delay

Due to some technical issues Patch 13.10 is expected to roll out 24 hours later than usual for all regions.

Snow Moon Ahri, Snow Moon Morgana, and Snow Moon Varus will be available May 17, 2023 at 20:00 UTC.

Akshan, Kalista, Kindred, and Vayne are getting brand new AP ratios added in this patch because they (might) buy Guinsoo’s Rageblade, which is getting Ability Power added to its stat package. These new ratios aren’t meant to make AP builds strong or even viable on them but instead to make incidental sources of Ability Power (like Rageblade) feel like they aren’t wasted.

Typically, a small utility output and a repeatable source of damage were targeted for each of these champions, which is meant to give AP a unique benefit that AD cannot provide and to fit the combat pattern of the Rageblade itself.

Akshan

Passive AP ratio added to damage, shield decreased. Q AP ratio added to bonus movement speed.

Akshan is the first of a few champions who fit two criteria: He might buy Guinsoo’s Rageblade (which now has AP on it) and he has no AP ratios. These shiny new AP ratios should make Akshan feel like he’s getting useful benefits when he’s picking up Guinsoo’s so that the AP isn’t entirely lost on him.

---

Passive - Dirty Fighting

• Magic Damage on Third Stack: 10-165 (based on level) ⇒ 10-165 (based on level) (+ 60% AP)
• Shield Value: 40-280 (+35% bonus AD), scaling linearly with champion level ⇒ 40-280 (+35% bonus AD), scaling non-linearly, mirroring base stat growth. (Note: This is functionally about a 10% shield reduction for the early and mid game.)

---

Q - Avengerang

• Bonus Movement Speed Upon Hitting An Enemy Champion: 40% ⇒ 40% (+5% per 100 AP)

Kalista

E AP ratios added to slow and damage.

Kalista is the second champion in this patch who has no AP ratios but is likely to buy Rageblade. The numbers are relatively conservative so an AP-focused build isn’t going to be strong, but at least the Amplifying Tome is a real item for her.

---

E - Rend

• Slow: 10/18/26/34/42% ⇒ 10/18/26/34/42% (+5% per 100 AP)
• Physical Damage: 20/30/40/50/60 (+ 70% AD) ⇒ 20/30/40/50/60 (+ 70% AD) (+20% AP)
• Additional Stack Damage: 10/16/22/28/34 (+23.2/27.55/31.9/36.25/40.6% AD) ⇒ 10/16/22/28/34 (+23.2/27.55/31.9/36.25/40.6% AD) (+20% AP)

Kindred

W AP ratio added. E AP ratio added.

Kindred are the third champion to receive AP ratio buffs in lieu of Rageblade’s changes. Lamb doesn’t tend to buy this item very often, but at least Wolf’s abilities will feel a bit more powerful.

---

W - Wolf's Frenzy

• Magic Damage: 25/30/35/40/45 (+20% bonus AD) (+1.5% (+1% per mark) target’s current health) ⇒ 25/30/35/40/45 (+20% bonus AD) (+20% AP) (+1.5% (+1% per mark) target’s current health)

---

E - Mounting Dread

• Slow: 50% ⇒ 50% (+5% per 100 AP)

Neeko

Q damage to monsters increased. W damage to monsters increased. R AP ratio increased.

Neeko jungle has seen a lot of play post-rework but sits as the worst regularly played role/champion combo in the game, so we're bumping up her clear speed a bit more to give Neeko jungle players a fair shot. It's likely we'll have to reassess her jungle power as players adapt to Jungle Neeko, so we'll continue to keep an eye on this tomato.

On another note, we're also putting a bit more power back into Neeko's R burst now that we've seen the spell on live. Overall, the reliability of the new ultimate is looking good, but the nerfs overshot compensating for the new consistency.

---

Q - Blooming Burst

• Bonus Damage to Monsters: 30/40/50/60/70 ⇒ 35/50/65/80/95

---

W - Shapesplitter

• Bonus Damage to Monsters: 50 ⇒75

---

R - Pop Blossom

• Magic Damage: 150/350/550 (+100% AP) ⇒ 150/350/550 (+120% AP)

Vayne

Q AP ratio added.

AP Vayne is not real. AP Vayne cannot hurt you. Not as much as AD Vayne, anyway. Once again, this AP ratio on Tumble is just here to make Rageblade’s stats not feel wasted.

---

Q - Tumble

• Bonus Physical Damage on Next Attack: 75/85/95/105/115% AD ⇒ 75/85/95/105/115% AD + 50% AP

We’ve got a big update to crit itemization with the hope of creating a much more open ecosystem of crit items players are excited to buy. Currently, League of Legends functionally has two sets of critical strike mythic items: Kraken / Galeforce / Shieldbow and Infinity Edge / Quickblades / Rageblade. Ultimately, we feel that Infinity Edge, Quickblades, Rageblade, and Galeforce actually fit the role of a mythic item the best so the other items are being demoted to legendary status and re-tuned to fit that new role.

The new mythic items are quite similar to the old versions as they already served their purposes well, with a notable change in Rageblade more strongly filling the hybrid on-hit niche, which should make champions like Kayle and Teemo pay attention.

The legendary re-balancing brings down some overly strong items, such as Kraken Slayer losing its true damage, Immortal Shieldbow providing less shielding, and Bloodthirster losing its shield entirely. Meanwhile, underperforming items like Mortal Reminder, The Collector, and Mercurial Scimitar are receiving some simple buffs. There are also a slew of balance changes to epic items to buff underpowered trap upgrades (Recurve Bow, Hearthbound Axe, Kircheis Shard) and nerf overly-powerful ones (Zeal).

And Statikk Shiv is back.

Bloodthirster

With Immortal Shieldbow moving to a Legendary slot for all crit users, Bloodthirster needs a new niche within the life steal item space. So, buying BT is a shot call that you’ll remain healthy and undisturbed on the back line and helps top off your health between engagements.

• Item Recipe: B.F. Sword + Cloak of Agility + Vampiric Scepter + 400 Gold (Note: Unchanged)
• Attack Damage: 55 (Note: Unchanged)
• Critical Strike Chance: 20% (Note: Unchanged)
• Life Steal: 15% ⇒ 18%
• newUnique Passive - Engorge: While above 50% Health, gain an additional 10-40 Attack Damage (based on level).

Galeforce

Galeforce is the one crit mythic item that’s remaining mythic. The opportunity cost of Infinity Edge, Quickblades, or Rageblade is meaningful in terms of DPS but if your path to victory is through helping assassinate a squishy champion (or not being assassinated yourself), 90% DPS is much better than 0%.

The specific numbers on Galeforce land it squarely stronger than the old version against squishies but requires building more crit chance to make use of that power, which should help keep it from being poached by assassins.

---

• Total Cost: 3400 (Note: Unchanged)
• Item Recipe: Noonquiver + Cloak of Agility + Pickaxe + 625 gold ⇒ B. F. Sword + Zeal + Long Sword + 650 Gold
• Attack Damage: 60 ⇒ 55

• Critical Strike Chance: 20% (Note: Unchanged)
• newBonus Movement Speed: 7%
• Active - Cloudburst: Dash and deal 150-350 (plus up to 250, based on Critical Strike Chance) physical damage to the lowest health nearby enemy, prioritizing champions. Damage is increased based on your target's missing health. (Cooldown: 90 seconds) (Note: Maximum execution threshold: 25% current health, Maximum execution strength: 60% bonus damage.)
• Mythic Passive: Empowers each of your other Legendary items with 5 Attack Damage.

Typhoon

Ornn upgraded version of Galeforce.

---

• Attack Damage: 80 ⇒ 70
• Attack Speed: 35% ⇒ 30%
• Critical Strike Chance: 20% (Note: Unchanged)
• newBonus Movement Speed: 7% ⇒ 9%

Guinsoo's Rageblade

Guinsoo’s Rageblade is back as the pinnacle hybrid on-hit item! Many of its old rules like extra on-hits and converting crit chance into on-hit damage are still in place. But now it has a specific focus on enabling hybrid damage champions through its mixed-penetration mythic passive (since neither Void Staff nor Last Whisper upgrades typically make sense on such champions.)

---

• newTier Change: Legendary Tier ⇒ Mythic Tier
• Total Cost: 2600 ⇒ 3200
• Item Recipe: Rageknife + Cloak of Agility + Dagger + 900 gold ⇒ Amplifying Tome + Rageknife + Pickaxe + 690 Gold
• newAttack Damage: 30
• newAbility Power: 30
• Attack Speed: 45% ⇒ 25%
• newUnique Passive - Wrath: Attacks apply 30 magic damage On-Hit. Convert your Critical Strike Chance into up to 150 more.
• newUnique Passive - Seething Strike: Basic attacks grant a stack of 8% attack speed, up to 4 times. At max stacks, every third attack applies on-hit effects twice.
• newMythic Passive: Empowers each of your other Legendary items with 5% Armor Penetration and 6% Magic Penetration.

Seething Sorrow

Ornn upgraded version of Guinsoo’s Rageblade.

---

• Attack Damage: 40
• Ability Power: 50
• Attack Speed: 35%

Hearthbound Axe

Alongside the various large mythic and legendary updates, we’re also making a slew of efficiency-focused changes to epic items. Hearthbound Axe was one underperforming epic that’s received efficiency buffs.

---

• Total Cost: 1000 ⇒ 1100
• Item Recipe: Long Sword + Dagger + 350 gold ⇒ Long Sword + Dagger + Long Sword + 100 gold
• Attack Damage: 15 ⇒ 20

Immortal Shieldbow

Demoting Immortal Shieldbow to a legendary item meant trimming its statline down somewhat. Shieldbow makes sense as a generically-accessible source of anti-burst for crit users, so it’s got an easy-to-appreciate stat profile of attack damage. One note of caution: Shieldbow is not meant to be bought early as its shield does not increase until level 12.

---

• newTier Change: Mythic Tier ⇒ Legendary Tier
• Total Cost: 3400 ⇒ 3000
• Item Recipe: Noonquiver + Cloak of Agility + Vampiric Scepter + 600 gold ⇒ Pickaxe + Cloak of Agility + Vampiric Scepter + 625 Gold

• Critical Strike Chance: 20% (Note: Unchanged)
• Life Steal: 7% (Note: Unchanged)
• removedAttack Speed: 20% ⇒ 0 (Removed)
• Unique Passive - Lifeline Shield Strength: If you would take damage that would reduce you below 30% of your maximum health, you first gain a 250-630 (based on level) shield for 3 seconds. ⇒ If you would take damage that would reduce you below 30% of your maximum health, you first gain a 215-500 (based on level) shield for 3 seconds. (Note: Lifeline’s shield is back loaded toward later levels.)
• Unique Passive - Lifeline Bonus Stats: When Lifeline is triggered the user gains 15-35 AD for 8 seconds. ⇒ When Lifeline is triggered the user gains 30% Attack Speed for 8 seconds.

Infinity Edge

Across League’s lifetime, Infinity Edge has almost always been a mythic item for AD Carries in everything but name, so now we’re just making it official. It’s got a simple stat profile and a simple purpose: Deal up to 20% more auto-attack damage based on your critical strike chance. It’s good at it. The Mythic Passive is intentionally pretty bland because IE already does a great job of making your other items feel awesome.

Edge of Finality

Ornn upgraded version of Infinity Edge.

---

• Attack Damage: 100

Kircheis Shard

Energize’s effect of infrequent big hits feels more at home with attack damage being its core stat instead of attack speed. There are several other Energize items getting updates in this patch that embrace this change as well. Kircheis is also getting a small increase to its gold efficiency as the item isn’t very strong in the live game.

---

• Total Cost: 700 (Note: Unchanged)
• Item Recipe: Dagger + 400 gold ⇒ Long Sword + 350 gold
• newAttack Damage: 15
• removedAttack Speed: 15% ⇒ 0% (Removed)
• Unique Passive - Jolt: Energized attacks apply 80 bonus magic damage ⇒ Energized attacks apply 60 bonus magic damage

Kraken Slayer

Kraken Slayer went through several iterations finding its new home as a Legendary item before landing on this version. Ultimately, Kraken is meant to be an incredible early item for high attack speed champions that still holds up late. Its damage ramping up against a target helps it retain a bit of that anti-tank flavor, but make no mistake: it’s no replacement for Lord Dominik’s Regards for tank-busting.

---

• newTier Change: Mythic Tier ⇒ Legendary Tier
• Total Cost: 3400 ⇒ 3000
• Item Recipe: Noonquiver + Cloak of Agility + Pickaxe + 625 gold ⇒ Noonquiver + Cloak of Agility + Recurve Bow + 400 Gold
• Attack Damage: 65 ⇒ 40
• Attack Speed: 25% ⇒ 30%
• Critical Strike Chance: 20% (Note: Unchanged)
• newUnique Passive - Bring It Down: Every third Attack applies 20 + 60% Total AD + 45% AP bonus magic damage. Subsequent triggers on the same target within 6 seconds increases this damage by 50% (Up to a maximum of 100% increased damage).

Mercurial Scimitar

Mercurial Scimitar is nearly never purchased and could stand to receive a small buff. There’s still a massive damage loss compared to an offensive-oriented item but now it gives enough MR to be worth considering in a few more situations.

---

• Magic Resistance: 40 ⇒ 50

Mortal Reminder

Mortal Reminder fares much, much worse than Lord Dominik’s Regards and feels like a punishment if a crit user is the one applying Grievous Wounds. A simple stat buff hopefully brings it closer to parity with LDR.

---

• Attack Damage: 35 ⇒ 40

Navori Quickblades

Welcome to the Mythic league, Navori Quickblades! Quickblades is an excellent item for crit users with high uptime on both basic attacks and abilities. Giving up to 20% more ability damage based on crit chance and the ability to refresh those abilities through rapid attacking, Quickblades serves those champions extremely well and feels like a capstone-level effect. Like Infinity Edge, Quickblades already does a great job of amplifying everything else bought alongside it, so it simply provides some ability haste through its mythic passive.

---

• newTier Change: Legendary Tier ⇒ Mythic Tier
• Total Cost: 3400 (Note: Unchanged)
• Item Recipe: Caulfield's Warhammer + Pickaxe + Cloak of Agility + 825 gold (Note: Unchanged)

• Mythic Passive: Empowers each of your other Legendary items with 5 Ability Haste

Flicker

Ornn upgraded version of Navori Quickblades.

---

• Attack Damage: 80
• Ability Haste: 30

Noonquiver

Noonquiver no longer builds into any Mythic items. That’s it. That’s the update. Don’t buy it expecting to build into a Mythic. Because it won’t.

Phantom Dancer

In an effort to make window shopping more intuitive for crit users, Phantom Dancer has been increased to 2800 gold with a small stat increase to go alongside it.

---

• Total Cost: 2600 ⇒ 2800
• Item Recipe: Long Sword + Zeal + Long Sword + 850 gold ⇒ Hearthbound Axe + Zeal + 600 gold
• Attack Speed: 25% ⇒ 30%

Rageknife

Rageknife has been remade to fit in with the new version of Guinsoo’s Rageblade, providing a smaller version of the ramping attack speed effect.

---

• Total Cost: 800 gold ⇒ 1200 gold
• Item Recipe: Dagger + Dagger + 200 gold ⇒ Dagger + Dagger + 600 Gold
• Attack Speed: 25% (Note: Unchanged)
• newUnique Passive - Wrath: This item grants 20 magic damage On-Hit
• newUnique Passive - Seething Strike: Attacks grant 5% Attack Speed, stacking up to 3 times for a maximum of 15% Attack Speed

Rapid Firecannon

Rapid Firecannon’s purpose is to land individual snipes from out of range of counter-attack and so its stat profile has been updated to reinforce that niche. The significant price increase retains a similar level of gold efficiency.

---

• Total Cost: 2500 ⇒ 3000
• Item Recipe: Zeal + Kircheis Shard + 750 gold ⇒ Long Sword + Zeal + Kircheis Shard + 850 gold
• newAttack Damage: 30
• Attack Speed: 35% ⇒ 15%
• Critical Strike Chance: 20% (Note: Unchanged)
• Bonus Movement Speed: 7% (Note: Unchanged)
• Unique Passive - Sharpshooter: Your Energized attack applies 120 bonus magic damage. In addition, Energized attacks gain up to 35% bonus Attack Range ⇒ Your Energized Attack applies 60-140 (based on level) bonus magic damage. In addition, Energized attacks gain up to 35% bonus Attack Range

Recurve Bow

Recurve Bow is another epic item being retuned to bring the gold efficiency of components closer together. Shrinking it also allows its placement in more legendary items without having to retune those numbers. Moving its on-hit damage to magic is an experiment in making on-hit effects more noticeable.

---

• Total Cost: 1000 ⇒ 700
• Item Recipe: Dagger + Dagger + 400 gold ⇒ Dagger + 400 gold
• Attack Speed: 25% ⇒ 15%
• Unique Passive - Steel Tipped: 15 bonus physical damage on-hit ⇒ 15 bonus magic damage on-hit

Runaan's Hurricane

Hurricane has grown to 2800 gold to help place it in direct consideration with other marksman items. On-hit damage with less attack speed should help it find a home in on-hit builds that risk over-capping their attack speed, while an increased AD ratio on the bolts should help it find a home in more crit-focused builds. The rules update around finding minions to hit is meant to reduce the number of cases where no additional bolts fire.

---

• Total Cost: 2600 ⇒ 2800
• Item Recipe: Dagger + Zeal + Dagger + 950 gold ⇒ Zeal + Recurve Bow + 1000 gold
• Attack Speed: 45% ⇒ 40%
• newUnique Passive - Peck: Attack apply 30 magic damage On-Hit
• Unique Passive - Wind’s Fury Bolt Damage: 40% total AD ⇒ 50% total AD
• newUnique Passive - Wind’s Fury: Wind's Fury now additionally searches for any minions in range if no champions can be found

Statikk Shiv

Statikk Shiv is back!!!!!! Shiv is meant to be the premier wave-clear item for crit users. Its damage scales up about as fast as minion health does and deals a moderate amount of damage to champions as well, though much less than PVP-focused items like Stormrazor.

A note on Energize stacking: All Energize items stack in the most linear way possible: The first target hit takes the normal effects from each Energize item. Statikk Shiv’s bounces only apply Shiv’s damage to additional targets.

---

• Total Cost: 3000
• Item Recipe: Noonquiver + Cloak of Agility + Kircheis Shard + 400 Gold
• Attack Damage: 45
• Attack Speed: 25%
• Critical Strike Chance: 20%
• Unique Passive - Electroshock: Your Energized attack fires chain lightning that applies 60-170 + 50% AP bonus magic damage. These Energized attacks will hit 6-12 targets, they chain to the next target within 600 range every time it deals damage, and they deal 120% bonus damage to minions.

Stormrazor

Stormrazor has found a new life as an early PVP-focused legendary crit item. Its early damage is roughly in line with the last version of the item and the added damage scaling should help it remain valuable later on as well. The slow has been transformed into a selfish move speed buff, which enables either a swift disengage or the ability to close the gap for further damage, maybe with a Rapid Firecannon?

---

• Total Gold: 2700 ⇒ 3000
• Item Recipe: B. F. Sword + Cloak of Agility + Kircheis Shard ⇒ Noonquiver + Cloak of Agility + Kircheis Shard + 400 Gold
• Attack Damage: 45 ⇒ 55
• Attack Speed: 15% (Note: Unchanged)
• Critical Strike Chance: 20% (Note: Unchanged)
• Unique Passive - Bolt: Your Energized attack applies 25 + 65% Total AD + 50% AP bonus Magic Damage and grants 45% Move Speed for 1 second

The Collector

The Collector is another item getting some simple buffs to make it more attractive. Its strong early stat profile should make it enticing for anyone trying to push an early lane lead into a game-winning snowball.

---

• Lethality: 12 ⇒ 18

Zeal

While several epic items were buffed as they were lacking in gold efficiency, Zeal was far too powerful. Yes, it’s receiving a cost increase, Attack Speed decrease, and Movement Speed decrease, but these changes are all pretty small. The hopeful result is that all of these epics feel appropriately powerful without the shop tricking you.

---

• Total Cost: 1050 ⇒ 1100
• Attack Speed: 18% ⇒ 15%
• Movement Speed: 7% ⇒ 5%
• removedPassive - Zealous: Bonus Movement Speed is no longer a unique passive.

Duskblade of Draktharr

Like Prowler's Claw, Duskblade gave a unique effect to many champions. With Stealth, we found that the appeal and frustration of the item limited how powerful the item could actually be. Since its release, Duskblade has been notably weaker than the other Mythics. We're reworking the Stealth aspect of the item to be a bit clearer for both sides, and filling in the power budget with a new passive perfect for ability-based casters and those hunting for their next kill.

---

• removedUnique Passive - Nightstalker: Nightstalker Passive will no longer empower your next basic attack against an enemy champion every 15 seconds.
• newUnique Passive - Nightstalker: Your spells deal up to an additional 15% bonus damage based on the target's missing health (maximized at 20% remaining health).
• Unique Passive - Nightstalker: When a champion you have damaged within the past 3 seconds dies, you become invisible for 1.5 seconds ⇒ When a champion you have damaged within the past 3 seconds dies, you become untargetable by non-structures. This effect does not destroy incoming missiles and breaks upon taking any action that would normally exit stealth. (10 second cooldown)

Prowler's Claw

Prowler's Claw was the first item to give every champion a targeted dash, which unlocked amazing new combos and introduced a skill-intensive item for players to show off their outplay potential. However, its consistent target-access ended up limiting how we could balance and design champions. Some, such as Talon and Rek'Sai, were designed with huge payoffs if they could use their mobility skills to get into melee range. With the addition, this trivialized one part of the "challenge", meaning we had to nerf the payoff or nerf the mobility. We're making the call to remove the dash from Prowler's and promote Ghostblade to Mythic with the aim to maintain three exciting Mythic choices for Assassins followed by more niche Lethality Legendaries that each succeed in their own roles.

---

• newTier Change: Mythic Tier ⇒ Legendary Tier
• Total Cost: 3100 ⇒ 3000
• Attack Damage: 60 ⇒ 55
• Ability Haste: 20 ⇒ 15
• Lethality: 18 ⇒ 15
• removedActive - Sandswipe: Sandswipe active removed.
• newPassive - Sandstrike: After dashing, blinking, or exiting Stealth, your next attack on an enemy champion deals 85+45% AD (65+30% AD for ranged) (10s CD). If the owner is melee, the attack also slows by 99% for 0.5 seconds.

Youmuu's Ghostblade

Youmuu's has always been a staple of the Assassin item system. With Prowler's being moved to a Legendary item, we're polishing Youmuu's into a shiny new Mythic. This item should excel for Assassins who want to invest into upfront burst and high map mobility. If you're looking for more extended fights or to finish off low health targets, Eclipse and Duskblade will be the better options.

---

• newTier Change: Legendary Tier ⇒ Mythic Tier
• Total Cost: 3000 ⇒ 3100
• Attack Damage: 55 ⇒ 60
• Ability Haste: 15 ⇒ 20
• Active - Wraith Step: 20% bonus Movement Speed ⇒ 25% bonus Movement Speed
• removedPassive - Haunt: Haunt passive that grants 40 bonus out-of-combat movement speed has been removed.
• newPassive - Haunt: Moving generates Spectral Shards (up to 100). For each stack gain 0.4 Movement Speed (maximum of 40 Movement Speed) out of combat. At maximum stacks, gain 8-20 (based on level) Lethality. These stacks reset 3 seconds after dealing damage to an enemy champion while at maximum stacks.
• Mythic Passive: Empowers each of your other Legendary items with 7 Attack Damage.

Youmuu's Wake

Ornn upgraded version of Youmuu’s Ghostblade.

---

• Attack Damage: 75
• Ability Haste: 25
• Lethality: 26

The broad goal of these midseason changes is to enable Supports to buy more items in an average game and to try and generally increase satisfaction of their items. This midseason is mainly focused around the Enchanter item system with the introduction of Echoes of Helia and the Moonstone Renewer rework as well as providing more options for support Tanks. There is still more work to be done in this space, but we’re hoping that this is a meaningful step towards increasing satisfaction for Supports.

Abyssal Mask

Abyssal Mask’s cost has been reduced and recipe has been changed in order to be a more effective Magic Resist option for Support Tanks.

---

• Total Cost: 3000 ⇒ 2400
• Item Recipe: Catalyst of Aeons + Spectre’s Cowl + 450 gold ⇒ Kindlegem + Negatron Cloak + 700 gold
• Health: 550 ⇒ 300
• Ability Haste: 10 (Note: Unchanged)
• Magic Resistance: 40 ⇒ 60
• Unique Passive - Unmake: Enemy champions within 550 units of you become cursed, reducing their magic resistance by 5 (+ 1.2% bonus health), capped at a reduction of 25. Gain 9 bonus magic resistance per cursed enemy. (Note: Unchanged)
• removedUnique Passive - Eternity: Unique Passive - Eternity has been removed from Abyssal Mask.

Ardent Censer

We’re putting more power into the passive and adding movement speed into Ardent Censer so that it’s easier to keep up with the teammates you’ll be enhancing. Vayne spotting just got a little bit easier.

---

• Total Cost: 2300 ⇒ 2100
• Item Recipe: Amplifying Tome + Forbidden Idol + Amplifying Tome + 630 gold ⇒ Aether Wisp + Forbidden Idol + 450 gold
• Ability Power: 60 ⇒ 35
• Base Mana Regeneration: 100% ⇒ 75%
• Bonus Heal and Shield Power: 8% (Note: Unchanged)
• newMovement Speed: 5%
• Unique Passive - Sanctify: Healing or shielding another ally enhances you both for 6 seconds, granting your attacks 10-30% (based on ally's level) bonus Attack Speed and 5-20 (based on ally's level) magic damage on-hit ⇒ Healing or Shielding another ally enhances you both for 6 seconds, granting your attacks 15-30% (based on ally's level) Attack Speed and 15-30 (based on ally's level) magic damage on-hit

Chalice of Blessing

Chalice is being introduced as a new component meant to build into other enchanter items and provide some additional value by allowing supports to access mana regeneration early.

---

• Total Cost: 900 gold
• Item Recipe: Ruby Crystal + Faerie Charm + 250 gold
• Health: 200
• Base Mana Regeneration: 50%
• Unique Passive - Harmony: Gain 25% base health regeneration for every additional 25% base mana regeneration

Chemtech Putrifier

Reducing the overall cost of Chemtech Putrifier so that it’s more affordable as an item within the overall support itemization pool. We’re happy with the item not being a “must purchase”, but in its current state it’s just a tad weak.

---

• Total Cost: 2300 ⇒ 2100
• Item Recipe: Oblivion Orb + Forbidden Idol + 700 gold ⇒ Oblivion Orb + Forbidden Idol + 500 gold
• Ability Power: 40 ⇒ 35
• Ability Haste: 15 (Note: Unchanged)
• Base Mana Regeneration: 100% ⇒ 75%
• Heal and Shield Power: 8% ⇒ 10%
• Unique Passive - Puffcap Toxin: Dealing damage to an enemy champion inflicts Grievous Wounds for 3 seconds. (Note: Unchanged)

Echoes of Helia

Raise those grails because we’re bringing back the spiritual successor for a much beloved item of olden times! Introducing… Echoes of Helia! Echoes of Helia is intended to be an item that’s mainly for Enchanters and focuses on helping out more offensive/skirmish play patterns, so if you like poking down your opponents in lane this is the item for you! As a consequence, Imperial Mandate was moved down to Legendary to open up its audience to champs who might like the item but didn't want to trade off their mythic slot for it.

---

• Total Cost: 2300
• Item Recipe: Chalice of Harmony + Bandleglass Mirror + 400 gold
• Ability Power: 30
• Health: 200
• Ability Haste: 15
• Base Mana Regeneration: 125%
• Unique Passive - Soul Siphon: Dealing damage to an enemy champion grants a Soul Shard (up to 2 max). Healing or shielding an ally consumes all Soul Shards and restores 20 - 100 (based on ally's level) Health and deals 30 - 200 (based on ally's level) magic damage per Shard to the nearest enemy champion.
• Unique Passive - Dissonance: Gain 3 Ability Power per 25% Base Mana Regeneration. Disables Harmony.
• Mythic Passive: Empowers each of your other Legendary items with 5 ability haste.

Cry of the Shrieking City

Ornn upgraded version of Echoes of Helia.

---

• Ability Power: 60
• Health: 300
• Ability Haste: 20
• Mana Regeneration: 225%

Evenshroud

For Evenshroud we have a cost and recipe adjustment to bring it in line with the rest of the Support ecosystem. We’ll be keeping an eye on the satisfaction surrounding this item and Zeke's to see if there are any improvements we can do in the future.

---

• Total Cost: 2500 ⇒ 2300
• Item Recipe: Kindlegem + Aegis of the Legion + 500 gold ⇒ Lifewell Pendant + Null Magic Mantle + 800 gold
• Health: 200 (Note: Unchanged)
• Armor: 30 (Note: Unchanged)
• Magic Resistance: 30 (Note: Unchanged)
• Ability Haste: 20 (Note: Unchanged)
• Unique Passive - Coriscation: Becoming affected by or applying an immobilizing or grounding effect to or from an enemy champion affects them and all enemy champions within 600 units of you with Repent, increasing the damage they take by 10% for 5 seconds. (Note: Unchanged)
• Mythic Passive: Empowers your other Legendary items with 5 armor and 5 magic resistance

Imperial Mandate

Imperial Mandate was shifted down to a Legendary tier item to open up the amount of champs that would want to purchase this item, but weren’t willing to give up their preferred Mythic in exchange. It should now be a great option for offensive enchanters for when they want to help allies burst down targets in teamfights.

---

• Total Cost: 2500 ⇒ 2300
• Item Recipe: Bandleglass Mirror + Kindlegem + 750 gold ⇒ Bandleglass Mirror + Fiendish Codex + 450 gold
• Ability Power: 40 ⇒ 55
• Ability Haste: 20 (Note: Unchanged)
• Base Mana Regeneration: 100% (Note: Unchanged)
• Unique Passive - Coordinated Fire: Abilities that Slow or Immobilize a champion deal 45-75 (based on ally's level) bonus magic damage and marks them for 4 seconds (6 second cooldown per enemy champion mark application). Allied champion damage detonates the mark, dealing an additional 90-150 (based on ally's level) magic damage and granting you both 20% Move Speed for 2 seconds. ⇒ Abilities that Slow or Immobilize a champion deal 35-75 (based on ally's level) bonus magic damage and marks them for 4 seconds (6 second cooldown per enemy champion mark application). Ally champion damage detonates the mark, dealing an additional 70-150 (based on ally's level) magic damage and granting you both 20% Move Speed for 2 seconds.

Knight's Vow

We’re reducing the cost and changing the item recipe and stats to a more accessible build that integrates Lifewell Pendant. We’re also introducing a slight nerf to the passive redirection from post-mitigation (after resists are applied) to pre-mitigation (before resists). The end result is that Knight's Vow users will take a bit more true damage when redirecting damage for allies while still protecting them the same amount.

---

• Total Cost: 2300 ⇒ 2200
• Item Recipe: Crystalline Bracer + Rejuvenation Bead + Kindlegem + 400 gold ⇒ Lifewell Pendant + Crystalline Bracer + 350 gold
• Health: 400 ⇒ 350
• newArmor: 25
• Ability Haste: 20 ⇒ 15
• Base Health Regeneration: 200% ⇒ 125%
• Unique Active - Pledge: Designate the target ally as being Worthy (60 second cooldown) (Note: Unchanged)
• Unique Passive - Sacrifice: While your Worthy ally is nearby, redirect 10% of pre-mitigation damage they take to you and heal for 10% of the damage dealt by your Worthy ally to Champions. If they have less than 30% Health the damage reduction is increased to 20%. (Note: this was changed from post-mitigation damage to pre-mitigation damage.)

Lifewell Pendant

This is intended to be a new item component for tank supports that will give them the stat profile they need at an affordable price.

---

• Total Cost: 1050
• Attack Damage Growth: Cloth Armor + Ruby Crystal + 350 gold
• Health: 150
• Armor: 25
• Ability Haste: 5

Locket of the Iron Solari

Locket is currently performing well on live, filling a unique spot as a support damage mitigation tool. Therefore, we’re opting to just give it a small cost and stat adjustment while maintaining the current state of the item.

---

• Total Cost: 2500 ⇒ 2300
• Item Recipe: Kindlegem + Aegis of the Legion + 500 gold ⇒ Lifewell Pendant + Null Magic Mantle + 800 gold

• Ability Haste: 20 (Note: Unchanged)

• Unique Passive - Consecrate: Grant nearby allied champions 3 Armor and Magic Resist. (Note: Unchanged)
• Mythic Passive: Grant all other Legendary items 2 Armor and 2 Magic Resist increase to Consecrate. (Note: Unchanged)

Mikael's Blessing

For Mikael’s, we just have a few recipe adjustments and we’re adding a bit more power into the active heal.

Moonstone Renewer

Echoes of Helia and the older Moonstone have a pretty big overlap as items that enhance your healing (even if Echoes had a damage output). Ultimately, this should help Moonstone feel like your actions influence how it impacts a fight as opposed to the healing happening on auto pilot.

Now both items should be useful in different scenarios, Moonstone Renewer is a safer, chain-healing item whereas Echoes is for when you want to fight and provide more damage.

Radiant Virtue

Radiant Virtue is still positioned as an item for top and jungle tanks, but by lowering its cost we’re hoping to open it up as a greedy Support item purchase for those looking to snowball their leads.
