League of Legends

Astronaut Fizz, Astronaut Ivern, Astronaut Kennen, Astronaut Singed, and Astronaut Xerath will be available February 24, 2023.

Ahri

Base health increased, base armor increased. R cooldown decreased.

While she saw a lot of time in the spotlight last season, Ahri disappeared when her mains needed her most, partly because of the nerfs she saw going into Worlds. Even after one buff she’s still having a hard time keeping up with her competition, struggling to find positive trades or use her Spirit Rush aggressively. We’re slightly increasing her base durability so she has an easier time in lane before roaming like the free fox she is.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 570 ⇒ 590
• Base Armor: 18 ⇒ 21

---

R - Spirit Rush

• Cooldown: 140/115/90 seconds ⇒ 130/105/80 seconds

Alistar

Passive ally heal increased. Q AP scaling increased. W AP scaling increased.

Despite our best intentions, Alistar lost out last patch. Turns out his teamfight healing is pretty important. For those of you who are fans of Wizard Cow, he doesn't appear to be very good as a mage and we're not intending for that to be the case any time soon. These AP ratio buffs are simply to make stat shards and other sources of Ability Power feel good.

---

Passive - Triumphant Roar

• Ally Heal: 6% of Alistar’s maximum health ⇒ 7% of Alistar’s maximum health (Note: This is approximately equal to pre-patch teammate heal values.)

---

Q - Pulverize

• Magic Damage: 60/100/140/180/220 (+70% AP) ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220 (+80% AP)

---

W - Headbutt

• Magic Damage: 55/110/165/220/275 (+90% AP) ⇒ 55/110/165/220/275 (+100% AP)

Amumu

Health growth decreased, armor growth decreased. W percent health damage decreased.

Amumu is an incredibly strong jungler, specifically in lower skill levels. His late game baseline power tends to disproportionately affect that bracket, so we’re looking to address that skill skew with these changes. His support gameplay will catch some stray nerfs here, which is fine since he’s also quite powerful there.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 100 ⇒ 94
• Armor Growth: 4.2 ⇒ 4.0

---

W - Despair

• Magic Damage per Tick: 6/8/10/12/14 (+1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2% (+ 0.25% per 100 AP) of target maximum health ⇒ 6/8/10/12/14 (+ 1/1.15/1.3/1.45/1.6% (+0.25% per 100 AP) of target maximum health

Anivia

Health growth decreased, armor growth decreased.

Outside of one rather blue man, Anivia’s been one of the biggest winners from the Seraph’s x Rod of Ages buffs. She’s now getting much more value out of her newfound durability, thriving against shorter ranged targets. We’re bringing down her durability scaling a bit in exchange for the newly found durability in her items. This should help opponents punish Anivia more when her cooldowns are, well… down.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 96 ⇒ 92
• Armor Growth: 5.2 ⇒ 4.9

Annie

Base health decreased. E damage decreased. R cooldown increased.

Annie and Tibbers have made a big impact on the rift following their most recent gameplay updates. While we believe Annie deserves to be effective, she is overperforming relative to her peers in both Mid and Support, and could do with a little less power. We are aiming to bring down her base health pool to give opponents early counter-play, reduce her ambient damage from her shield, and limit the summon frequency of Tibbers now that he's more of a threat on the Rift.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 594 ⇒ 560

---

E - Molten Shield

• Shield Retaliation Magic Damage: 30/45/60/75/90 (+ 40% AP) ⇒ 25/35/45/55/65 (+ 40% AP)

---

R - Summon: Tibbers

• Cooldown: 120/100/80 seconds ⇒ 130/115/100 seconds

Aphelios

Passive bonus attack speed increased.

Aphelios’ big brain doesn't have quite enough wrinkles to find wins in solo queue nor enough fans in pro play. As such, Aphelios is receiving some relatively simple buffs. The choice of attack speed on his W rank up is to make the choice between attack speed and lethality a tight one, giving smart players one more avenue for optimizing their damage.

---

Passive - The Hitman and the Seer (Weapon Master)

• Bonus Attack Speed: 7.5/15/22.5/30/37.5/45% ⇒ 9/18/27/36/45/54%

Azir

Mana adjusted. W soldier recharge time increased. E damage increased. R damage increased.

After Kassadin and Ryze received nerfs earlier this year, Azir has become the go-to mid laner in pro play (imagine that), which is a throne the emperor has resided upon comfortably for years. These changes are meant to lower his oppressive early lane pressure and give him compensation that likely results in overall buffs in the hands of non-pros.

---

Base Stats

• Base Mana: 480 ⇒ 380
• Mana Growth: 21 ⇒ 36

---

W - Arise!

• Soldier Recharge Time: 9/8.25/7.5/6.75/6 seconds ⇒ 10/9/8/7/6 seconds

---

E - Shifting Sands

• Magic Damage: 60/90/120/150/180 (+ 40% AP) ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220 (+ 55% AP)

---

R - Emperor's Divide

• Magic Damage: 175/325/475 (+ 60% AP) ⇒ 200/400/600 (+75% AP)

Cho'gath

Armor growth increased. Q mana cost decreased, base damage increased. W mana cost decreased.

Cho'Gath is a champion that has fallen behind in the meta due to his lackluster late game presence where his damage falls off significantly and his mana costs make it hard for him to stay out on the map after a single fight. These changes are aimed at relieving some of these issues and making Cho feel better to play.

---

Base Stats

• Armor Growth: 4.7 ⇒ 5

---

Q - Rupture

• Mana Cost: 60 ⇒ 50
• Magic Damage: 80/135/190/245/300 (+100% AP) ⇒ 80/140/200/260/320 (+100% AP)

---

W - Feral Scream

• Mana Cost: 70/80/90/100/110 ⇒ 70/75/80/85/90

Elise

Q base damage decreased. Spiderling base damage decreased.

Elise has been lethal recently, and between her clear speed and potent first blood threat, she’s becoming the queen of the jungle instead of the queen of spiders. We’re reducing some base damage on her Q to curb first blood potential and tapping down spiderling damage to slow her clear a tad so she isn’t head and thorax above the competition.

---

Q - Venomous Bite

• Magic Damage: 70/105/140/175/210 (+8% (+3% per 100 AP) target's missing hp) ⇒ 60/90/120/150/180 (+8% (+3% per 100 AP) target's missing hp)

---

R - Spider Form

• Spiderling Magic Damage: 10/15/20/25 (levels 1/6/11/16) ⇒ 8/14/20/26 (levels 1/6/11/16)

Jarvan IV

W cooldown increased, shield strength AD scaling decreased.

Last patch we gave Jarvan a shiny new AD ratio which did wonders for his W. Unfortunately it also pushed him into the top tier of junglers. While we like his shield having some real power, we’re rolling back a bit of the buff last patch so he’s just a bit less durable when he’s snowballing a lead.

---

W - Golden Aegis

• Cooldown: 8 seconds ⇒ 9 seconds
• Shield Strength: 60/80/100/120/140 (+80% bonus AD) ⇒ 60/80/100/120/140 (+70% bonus AD)

Jax

Base health increased, health growth increased. E AP ratio adjusted, damage calculation adjusted. R passive on-hit damage decreased, bonus armor and magic resist decreased early.

Jax is intended to be a late game monster, but his recent update made him a bit too strong during his laning phase, especially once he gets a point into his new ultimate. We're hitting his early game with a small nerf while leaving his powerful late game intact. We’re also adjusting his E so it's more rewarding with the more attacks you dodge.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 685 ⇒ 665
• Health Growth: 99 ⇒ 100

---

E - Counter Strike

• newALL THE DAMAGE: Dodging attacks now increases the entire damage of the spell, no longer just the base damage.
• Minimum Magic Damage: 55/85/115/145/175 (+100% AP) (+4% of target's maximum health) ⇒ 55/85/115/145/175 (+70% AP) (+4% of target's maximum health)
• Maximum Magic Damage: 110/170/230/290/350 (+100% AP) (+4% of target's maximum health) ⇒ 110/170/230/290/350 (+140% AP) (+8% of target's maximum health)

---

R - Grandmaster-At-Arms

• Passive On-Hit Damage: 80/120/160 (+60% AP) ⇒ 60/110/160 (+60% AP)
• Bonus Armor for First Champion Hit: 25/45/65 (+40% bonus AD) ⇒ 15/40/65 (+40% bonus AD)
• Bonus Magic Resist for First Champion Hit: 15/27/39 (+24% bonus AD) ⇒ 9/24/39 (+24% bonus AD)

Malphite

W cooldown decreased, armor scaling on W attacks increased.

Malphite's sustained damage as a tank juggernaut is fairly underwhelming at the moment. So we’re aiming to keep his damage relevant throughout the game and allow him to have higher uptime on W for more powerful auto resets throughout a longer fight.

---

W - Thunderclap

• Cooldown: 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds ⇒ 10/9.5/9/8.5/8 seconds
• Empowered Attacks Physical Damage: 30/45/60/75/90 (+20% AP) (+10% armor) ⇒ 30/45/60/75/90 (+ 20% AP) (+ 15% armor)
• Cone Physical Damage: 15/25/35/45/55 (+30% AP) (+15% armor) ⇒ 15/25/35/45/55 (+30% AP) (+20% armor)

Maokai

Q damage increased. E cooldown increased, base damage decreased, AP ratio decreased, slow HP ratio increased, slow AP ratio decreased.

Maokai is way too strong right now and incredibly frustrating with his sapling bombs which are meant to be zoning/vision tools, NOT damage ones. While AP tree is a compelling build, there's no risk to crafting a glass cannon when no one ever comes near to it. The Sapling cooldown nerfs will hit tank Maokai and he seems balanced at the moment, so we're compensation buffing Bramble Smash.

---

Q - Bramble Smash

• Magic Damage: 70/120/170/220/270 (+2/2.25/2.5/2.75/3% of target's maximum health) (+40% AP) ⇒ 70/120/170/220/270 (+2/2.5/3/3.5/4% of target's maximum health) (+40% AP) (Note: This nets out at about a 7% damage increase.)

---

E - Sapling Toss

• Cooldown: 10 seconds ⇒ 14 seconds
• Magic Damage: 55/80/105/130/155 (+5% bonus health) (+35% AP) ⇒ 50/75/100/125/150 (+5% bonus health) (+25% AP) (Note: damage is still doubled when Saplings are placed in brush.)
• Brush Empowered Sapling Slow: 45% (+0.9% per 100 bonus health) (+4% per 100 AP) ⇒ 45% (+1% per 100 bonus health) (+1% per 100 AP)

Orianna

Base armor increased. W mana cost decreased.

Orianna is still stuck as an understudy after her last round of buffs where we didn’t quite go far enough to make the buff meaningfully impactful. We’re giving her a teeny bit more power in hopes that the ballerina can finally, once again, take her shot at the main stage.

---

Base Stats

• Base Armor: 17 ⇒ 20

---

W - Command: Dissonance

• Mana Cost: 70/75/80/85/90 ⇒ 60/65/70/75/80

Riven

Passive bonus AD scaling adjusted, now deals 50% of bonus damage to towers, stack resource bar added.

Riven is intended to be a very high mastery champion and we don’t think her current state is supporting a type of play that allows her to masterfully snowball her leads into wins. We’re getting rid of her atypical passive scaling to make it more early-skewed and less spikey, while letting her passive do a little extra damage to towers so she can be a more powerful side lane threat.

---

Passive - Runic Blade

• Bonus AD: 30/36/42/48/54/60% (levels 1/6/9/12/15/18) total AD ⇒ 30-60% (levels 1-18) (Note: Now scales linearly, gaining 1.75% bonus AD per level)
• newTIMBER: Runic Blade bonus damage is now applied to towers, but only deals 50% of the increased damage.
• newCheck out these stacks: Riven’s passive stacks are now shown as a resource bar (visible to self only).

Samira

Passive early movement speed reduced. R lifesteal effectiveness reduced.

Samira has been performing exceptionally well for several months now and her ban rate has skyrocketed. These changes are hopefully a win for everyone: those who are frustrated victims will be less frustrated and Samira mains will find she's still strong but actually available to pick! Everyone's happy!

---

Passive - Daredevil Impulse

• Movement Speed: 3.5% per stack ⇒ 1/2/3/4% per stack at levels 1/6/11/16

---

R - Inferno Trigger

• Life Steal Effectiveness: 66.7% ⇒ 50%

Senna

Attack ratio increased. R damage increased, cooldown decreased.

Senna has fallen behind in terms of strength and popularity lately and, on top of that, her core items are receiving nerfs this patch. These buffs aim to compensate for those power losses and give her some power in the rest of her kit. We’re buffing R’s cooldown and damage to make it more relevant as an offensive tool post-durability patch, and buffing Senna's attack speed ratio to promote her build diversity through Kraken Slayer.

---

Base Stats

• Attack Ratio (Attack Speed per 100% bonus Attack Speed): 0.30 ⇒ 0.40

---

R - Dawning Shadow

• Physical Damage: 250/375/500 (+100% bonus AD) (+70% AP) ⇒ 250/400/550 (+115% bonus AD) (+70% AP)
• Cooldown: 160/140/120 seconds ⇒ 140/120/100 seconds

Thresh

Q damage increased, cooldown decreased late. W cooldown adjusted, shield strength decreased. E damage increased.

Q>E>W is Thresh's most popular yet least powerful skill build order. It's currently optimal to max W early and Q late. E is cool. Thresh is at his best when he's throwing out hooks, navigating short range combat, and overall controlling the battlefield (as opposed to primarily throwing out enhanced shields to his allies). These AP ratio buffs are essentially scaling damage buffs because he gets 1 AP per soul and these are here to give him some more choice in considering light AP itemization and runes.

---

Q - Death Sentence

• Magic Damage: 100/145/190/235/280 (+80% AP) ⇒ 100/150/200/250/300 (+90% AP)
• Cooldown: 19/17/15/13/11 seconds ⇒ 19/16.5/14/11.5/9 seconds (Note: Landing a Death Sentence still reduces its cooldown by 3 seconds.)

---

W - Dark Passage

• Cooldown: 22/20.5/19/17.5/16 seconds ⇒ 21/20/19/18/17 seconds
• Base Shield Strength: 50/75/100/125/150 ⇒ 50/70/90/110/130

---

E - Flay

• Magic Damage: 75/110/145/180/215 (+ 60% AP) ⇒ 75/115/155/195/235 (+ 70% AP)

Udyr

Health growth decreased, base armor decreased. Q On-hit damage decreased. R increased slow decreased.

Since Udyr's VGU, we've spent quite a few patches working on the power balance between each of his stance maxes as well as his overall power. As a result, his winrates for different stances have fluctuated greatly, but his overall winrate has been relatively stable. Now that we're more happy about how each stance expresses power (Wilding Claw for AS/AD heavy DPS builds and Wingborne Storm for utility), we're taking a bigger swing at Udyr's total power level, which has been a cut above other junglers since Preseason.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 98 ⇒ 92
• Base Armor: 34 ⇒ 31

---

Q - Wildling Claw

• Bonus Physical Damage On-Hit: 5/11/17/23/29/35 (+30% bonus AD) ⇒ 5/11/17/23/29/35 (+25% bonus AD)

---

R - Wingborne Storm

• Increased Slow: 25/28/31/34/37/40% ⇒ 20/23/26/29/32/35%

Veigar

Q range increased. W range increased.

Veigar is a bit short on the winrate. While buffing his damage could definitely return him to his former glory, we want to avoid situations where Veigar outplays his opponents with a masterful Q+R display of skill. Instead, we're giving the immobile mage a bit more leeway when farming and poking around dangerous enemies. He'll still have to risk himself for big Event Horizons or Primordial Burst, but this should give him some nice breathing room in other situations.

---

Q - Baleful Strike

• Range: 950 ⇒ 1050

---

W - Dark Matter

• Range: 900 ⇒ 950

Viego

Q passive damage can now critically strike. R AD scaling increased.

We’re buffing Viego because he’s the king. On a more serious note, Viego’s been struggling to find more than just love recently with his declining solo queue and pro strength. Now that he’s in a weaker spot, we’re comfortable giving him some measured buffs to bring his power levels up a little in a way that will reward higher risk/higher reward builds. Hail to the king, baby!

---

Q - Blade of the Ruined King

• newShot Through the Heart: The passive damage from Q on basic attacks can now critically strike.

---

R - Heartbreaker

• Physical Damage: 12/16/20% (+3% per 100 bonus AD) of target's missing health ⇒ 12/16/20% (+5% per 100 bonus AD) of target's missing health

Demonic Embrace

Demonic has been a strong contributor for enhanced clear speed times, especially on the likes of a few top tier picks like Maokai, Udyr, and Amumu. We’re now capping Demonic’s damage against monsters so it isn’t quite as effective

---

• newDon’t Gaze into the Jungle: Azakana’s Gaze is now capped at 40 damage per second against monsters.

Doran’s Shield

Doran's Shield is a very strong early game purchase for both tanks and fighters that makes a lot of champions feel less punishable than desired. This nerf aims to lower the passive healing without discouraging interaction based healing.

---

• Base Health Regeneration: 6 health per 5 seconds ⇒ 4 health per 5 seconds

Since the Durability Update, ranged supports have reigned supreme and melee supports have had to rely much more on finding early lane kills. Our goal with these changes is to even out the power of the two classes (alongside the champion specific buffs from 13.3) by more closely syncing the time supports get their ward upgrades and improving the balance of health regeneration and spell spamming in lane.

---

Relic Shield

• Base Health Regeneration: 25% ⇒ 50%

---

Targon’s Buckler

• Base Health Regeneration: 50% ⇒ 75%

---

Spectral Sickle

• Charge Generation Time: 10 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds

---

Harrowing Crescent

• Charge Generation Time: 10 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds

---

Spellthief’s Edge

• Bonus Mana Regeneration: 50% ⇒ 25%
• Charge Generation Time: 10 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds

---

Frostfang

• Bonus Mana Regeneration: 75% ⇒ 50%
• Charge Generation Time: 10 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds

---

Shard of True Ice

• Bonus Mana Regeneration: 115% ⇒ 100%

---

Steel Shoulderguards

• Base Health Regeneration: 25% ⇒ 50%

---

Runesteel Spaulders

• Base Health Regeneration: 50% ⇒ 75%

Magical Footwear

Pro players are sometimes going Magical Footwear and selling the boots when they get them to use the gold to accelerate their mythic item purchases. This circumvents the original intent of the item (to grant you boots) so we want to bring down the power level of this particular strategy.

---

• newUsed Magic Discount: Magical Footwear will now only sell for 30% of the value of boots, 90 gold. Normal boots and tier 2 boots sell value is unchanged.

Treasure Hunter

Treasure Hunter is far and away one of the best runes to pick up in your secondary rune tree for almost all champions. It is currently contributing to a lot of early snowballing, so we’re taking away some of the gold that helped it become a top-tier rune.

---

• Gold per Stack: 70+20 per Bounty Hunter Stack (550 gold total) ⇒ 50+20 per Bounty Hunter Stack (450 gold total)

Rift Herald

---

• Leash Range: 1100 ⇒ 1200
• newShelly Ain’t Soft: Rift Herald no longer has a soft reset state and will hard reset when its patience runs out, immediately running back to its original position.

Gromp

---

• Base Health: 2200 ⇒ 2050

Sustain

---

• Base Heal from Monster Kills: 25 ⇒ 30

Clear Speed

---

• Jungle Companion Damage: 16 (+ 10% bonus AD) (+ 15% AP) (+ 10% bonus armor) (+ 10% bonus magic resistance) (+ 3% bonus health) true damage ⇒ 16 (+ 10% bonus AD) (+ 12% AP) (+ 10% bonus armor) (+ 10% bonus magic resistance) (+ 3% bonus health) true damage

Kill Experience

---

• Level 1: 42 experience (15% of level) ⇒ 42 experience (15% of level)
• Level 2: 114 experience (30% of level) ⇒ 114 experience (30% of level)
• Level 3: 186 experience (39% of level) ⇒ 144 experience (30% of level)

---

• Catchup Kill Experience Gained: 16% per level difference between you and the champion killed ⇒ 20% per level difference (beyond the first) between you and the champion killed

Champions

• Aurelion Sol: Damage Dealt: 105% ⇒ 100%, Damage Received: 95% ⇒ 100%

The first Clash tournament of the year is coming up next month! Here’s a look at the upcoming Bilgewater Cup dates:

• Weekend 1 Registration Begins: March 6 @ 11:00 AM (Local Time)
• Weekend 1 Tournament Days: March 11 and 12 (~4-7 PM Local, varies by region)
• Weekend 2 Registration Begins: March 20 @ 11:00 AM (Local Time)
• Weekend 2 Tournament Dates: March 25 and 26 (~4-7 PM Local, varies by region)

Party chat is a new chat channel that allows you to chat just to your pre-made party members. Chat channels indicate who will see the messages you send, which was previously limited to team and all chat. The chat console will now show the chat channels receiving your messages to the left of your chat bar. You can toggle between the different channels with commands or the [tab] key, and change which channels are active for you in your settings. For quick access to party chat you can use the /party, /pt, or /p commands. Incoming Party chat messages will be indicated with [Party] before the message. Party chat will be the default chat setting for new players.

New commands for /muteself and /deafen are available in-game. We have seen players use the automatic chat abuse detection and muting feature in order to mute themselves, which is a misuse of that system. Given players do want to use this functionality, we are providing ways for players to mute themselves without needing to use inappropriate language to do so.

• /muteself will prevent you from using text chat as well as notify other players you have muted yourself. You can undo this by using /muteself again
• /deafen will prevent you from using text chat AND prevent yourself from seeing chat from other players, as well as notify other players you have muted yourself. You can undo this by using /deafen again

In the 13.1 Patch Notes we mentioned that Refund Tokens would be deprecated due to internal technical challenges with supporting an older refund system. However, after some reassessment of the situation and a focused effort from our teams over the last several weeks, we’ve identified a path forward to maintain the refund token system that has been present prior to this year. We apologize for the mixed messaging, but ultimately want to thank you for your feedback on this. We also won't be backtracking on the 3 refund tokens that we granted to each player at the beginning of the season.

As a quick refresher on the system: Players will accumulate one (1) refund token each year up to a max total of three (3) tokens per account. The same eligibility rules will apply and can be found in more detail on the support website.

With the preservation of this system, this means the next token refresh will occur at the start of Season 14.

Ranked progression at the beginning of a season starts out strong, but as it progresses it can become more difficult to see movement in your rank. We want to make it easier to move both up and down in rank so that your ranked journey is more eventful overall. Right now moving your rank can feel like pushing a boulder up a hill, so our goal is that if you have a solid session you’ll get to see your rank increase. Ranked hasn’t had large changes in a while now, so as usual, we’re open to your feedback and may make further changes down the road. If you want to learn more about the relationship between MMR and rank, check out this player support article.

• LP win and loss amount when your visible rank approximately matches your MMR from 15 ⇒ 22. All gain and loss values are increased across the board.

• Slightly increased the skill rating in matchmaking for duo players in Ranked Solo/Duo.
• Split point progression will now be shown on the ranked end-of-game progression screen.

Rune Recommender

• Rune recommendations have been added to the standard rune page editor.
• The rune recommender will now remember which role you selected until you switch champions.
• Rune page selection defaults to the temporary slot if a recommended page was used in the prior game instead of your first permanent rune page. If no rune page has been selected, a recommended page will be randomly selected 6 seconds before the end of champion select.
• Improved audio of the rune recommender and champion select.

---

Champion Select

• Reworked pick order and champion swapping UI for greater clarity. Pick order swapping has a new interaction, while champion swapping has been reverted to what it was before pick order swapping was introduced.

Aurelion Sol

CGU, abilities adjusted.

Aurelion Sol’s CGU is here. We hope you enjoy his stellar scaling, new and improved abilities, and absolutely breathtaking ultimate!

---

Passive - Cosmic Creator

Aurelion Sol’s damaging Abilities break down enemies into Stardust, which improves his Abilities.

• Q - Breath of Light: Q bursts deal an additional (0.031% Stardust Stacks)% maximum Health magic damage
• W - Astral Flight: Increased distance traveled based on Stardust Stacks
• E - Singularity: Increased area and execute threshold
• R - Falling Star/The Skies Descend: Increased area

---

Q - Breath of Light

• Mana Cost: 45/50/55/60/65 Mana per second
• Cooldown: 3 seconds

Each full second of breath on the same enemy deals a burst of (40/50/60/70/80 + 20-40 (scaling with level) + 50% AP) magic damage plus (0.031% Stardust Stack)% max Health Magic Damage and absorbs 1 Stardust if they are a champion. This Ability’s range is 750 - 920 (scaling with level). Percent damage deals a max of 300 magic damage against jungle monsters.

---

W - Astral Flight

• Mana Cost: 80/85/90/95/100 Mana
• Cooldown: 22/20.5/19/17.5/16 seconds
• Full Ability Description: Aurelion Sol flies in a direction. While flying, Breath of Light has no Cooldown, no maximum channel duration, and its flat damage is increased by 14%/15.5%/17%/18.5%/20%. Takedowns on champions within 3 seconds of damaging them refunds 90% of this Ability’s Cooldown. Casting Breath of Light while flying reduces flight speed by 50%. Flight speed is 335 + 100% Movement Speed.

---

E - Singularity

• Mana Cost: 60/70/80/90/100 mana
• Cooldown: 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds
• Full Ability Description: Aurelion Sol summons a black hole, dealing (10/15/20/25/30 + 40% AP) magic damage and dragging enemies towards the center for 5 seconds. Enemies in the center below (5 + 2.6% Stardust Stack)% maximum Health die instantly. The black hole absorbs Stardust when enemies die within it and each second an enemy champion is inside it. This Ability’s range is 750 - 920 (scaling with level). Minions and jungle monsters inside will have 0 Movement Speed. (This ability absorbs 1 Stardust per second from Champions. Stardust absorbed from units that die in the black hole: Epic Monsters: 10 Stardust, Champions and Large monsters: 5 Stardust, Siege minions: 3 Stardust Minions and small monsters: 1 Stardust.)

---

R - Falling Star/The Skies Descend

• Mana Cost: 100 mana
• Cooldown: 120/110/100 seconds
• Falling Star: Aurelion Sol plucks a star from the heavens and crashes it into the earth, dealing (150/250/350 + 65% AP) magic damage, stunning enemies for 1.25 seconds, and absorbing 5 Stardust for each champion hit.
• The Skies Descend: Gathering 75 Stardust transforms the next Falling Star into The Skies Descend. Aurelion Sol drags a constellation’s worth of fury down from the cosmos, dealing (187.5/312.5/437.5 + 81.25% AP) magic damage in a larger area, Knocking Up enemies hit for 1.25 seconds, and unleashing a massive shockwave that deals (150/250/350 + 65% AP) magic damage to champions and Epic monsters and slows all enemies hit by 75% for 1 second.

Amumu

Q mana cost increased. E base damage decreased.

We adjusted Amumu at the end of last season so the Sad Mummy could find some friends with the new jungle companions. However, he seems to have found a few too many friends in both jungle and support, so we’re nerfing him in both roles.

---

Q - Bandage Toss

• Mana Cost: 40/45/50/55/60 ⇒ 45/50/55/60/65

---

E - Tantrum

• Damage: 80/110/140/170/200 (+50% AP) ⇒ 65/100/135/170/205 (+50% AP)

Annie

Passive is now fully charged on spawn. E shield strength increased, cooldown decreased, retaliation damage and conditions adjusted. R Tibbers health, armor, magic resist, and movement speed increased.

Annie’s been struggling to pick up wins, even when she’s matched against opponents that she should have the advantage against. We’re giving one of League’s oldest champs some much-needed quality of life buffs to her Molten Shield and Pyromania passive, and bumping up Tibbers’ durability for late game fights. The intent is to buff Annie in ways that aren’t just her upfront burst damage, but we’ll be keeping an eye out to make sure these changes bring her power to bear.

---

Passive - Pyromania

• First Flame: Annie will now spawn with her passive fully charged on game start and when she respawns

---

E - Molten Shield

• Shield Strength: 40/85/130/175/220 (+35% AP) ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220 (+55% AP)
• Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 seconds ⇒ 12/11/10/9/8 seconds
• Retaliation Magic Damage: 20/30/40/50/60 (+20% AP) ⇒ 30/45/60/75/90 (+40% AP)
• newRetaliation Magic Damage Conditions: When Molten Shield is active, enemies whosebasic attacks hit the shield receive magic damage ⇒ When Molten Shield is active, enemies whose basic attacks AND spells hit the shield receive magic damage
• newRetaliation Magic Damage Details: E - Molten Shield will now only inflict damage against opponents once per target, per shield. (Note: Tibbers’ duplicated shield counts as a new shield and can inflict damage once per target, per shield.)

---

R - Summon: Tibbers

• Tibbers’ Health: 1300/2200/3100 ⇒ 1300/2200/3100 (+75% AP)
• Tibbers’ Resistances: 30/60/90 Armor and MR ⇒ 30/60/90 (+5% AP) Armor and MR
• Tibbers’ Movespeed: 350 at all ranks ⇒ 350/375/400

Jarvan IV

Base armor increased, W cooldown decreased, shield strength now scales with AD, shield duration decreased.

Golden Aegis hasn’t been the shiniest ability in League’s history (although the name may be misleading). Jarvan’s W has been intentionally kept a bit underwhelming as it has been a great defensive spell for low-economy junglers in pro play. However, since the Durability update Jarvan’s needed to fill the role of a relevant backline threat, so we’re beefing up his shield to reward his more AD oriented builds.

---

Base Stats

• Base Armor: 34 ⇒ 36

---

W - Golden Aegis

• Cooldown: 9 seconds ⇒ 8 seconds
• Shield Strength: 60/80/100/120/140 ⇒ 60/80/100/120/140 (+80% bonus AD)
• Shield Duration: 5 seconds ⇒ 4 seconds

K'Sante

Base health increased. Q knockup and stun duration decreased. W minimum stun duration decreased. R bonus resistances lost increased.

K’Sante has too much CC right now, which allows him to lock down opponents too effectively, so we’re tapping down his numbers to make him a little less oppressive (these changes should also help make Tenacity more effective against the Pride of Nazumah). Lastly, we’re also dropping his durability when he goes All Out in fights to emphasize the need for him to isolate his enemies.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 108 ⇒ 114

---

Q - Ntofo Strikes

• Q3 Knock Up Duration: 1 second ⇒ 0.65 seconds
• Q3 Stun Duration: 1-1.25 seconds ⇒ 1 second

---

W - Path Maker

• Minimum Stun Duration: 0.35/0.45/0.55/0.65/0.75 seconds ⇒ 0.3/0.35/0.4/0.45/0.5 seconds

---

R - All Out

• Resistances Lost: 65% Bonus Resistances ⇒ 85% Bonus Resistances

Kassadin

E base damage decreased, cooldown reduction from nearby casts decreased. R base damage decreased, bonus damage per stack decreased.

Even after his nerfs last patch Kassadin continues to Kassawin. These nerfs are targeting two of his core strengths: his ability to trade effectively in the early game and his ability to spam his E in the late game. So we’re bringing down the power on both of these to help bring him back into line.

---

E - Force Pulse

• Base Damage: 80/105/130/155/180 (+85% AP) ⇒ 60/90/120/150/180 (+85% AP)
• Cooldown from Nearby Casts:1 second ⇒ 0.75 seconds

---

R - Riftwalk

• Magic Damage: 80/100/120 (+40% AP) (+2% maximum mana) ⇒ 70/90/110 (+40% AP) (+2% maximum mana)
• Bonus Damage per Stack: 40/50/60 (+10% AP) (+1% maximum mana) ⇒ 35/45/55 (+10% AP) (+1% maximum mana)

Kayle

Passive bonus move speed increased. E on-hit AP scaling increased, missing health damage increased.

Kayle’s been feeling a little less-than-angelic lately, so we’re looking to grant some skill-expression to make her stronger, especially in the hands of her mains.

---

Passive - Divine Ascent

• Exalted Bonus Move Speed: 8% ⇒ 10%

---

E - Starfire Spellblade

• Passive On-hit Damage: 15/20/25/30/35 (+10% bonus AD) (+20% AP) ⇒ 15/20/25/30/35 (+10% bonus AD) (+25% AP)

Kayn

Passive Shadow Assassin damage increased. Q AD scaling increased.

Shadow Kayn hasn’t been the terror in the shadows he once was, suffering particularly hard in lower skill brackets. We’re giving him a bit more AD scaling to support the arguably edgier version to Kayn without giving Rhaast too much power.

---

Passive - The Darkin Scythe

• Shadow Assassin Bonus: 13-40% (based on level) of post-mitigation damage to champions is repeated as magic damage for the first 3 seconds of damaging champions ⇒ 15-45% (based on level) of post-mitigation damage to champions is repeated as magic damage for the first 3 seconds of damaging champions

---

Q - Reaping Slash

• Physical Damage: 75/95/115/135/155 (+65% bonus AD) ⇒ 75/95/115/135/155 (+80% bonus AD) (Note: This will not affect Rhaast’s damage, as he has separate Q values)

LeBlanc

Mana Regeneration and Mana Regeneration growth increased. Q mana cost now flat at all ranks. R cooldown decreased early.

LeBlanc has been struggling across all skill brackets, and now that she hasn’t been a constant Pro threat we’re comforting giving her access to a bit more mana throughout the game. This should help LeBlanc players find some wins in tougher lanes, snowball a few more games, and give her access to some more waveclear and poke.

---

Base Stats

• Mana Regeneration: 6 ⇒ 8
• Mana Regeneration Growth: 0.8 ⇒ 1

---

Q - Sigil of Malice

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

---

R - Mimic

• Cooldown: 60/45/30 seconds ⇒ 50/40/30 seconds

Lee Sin

Q AD ratio increased. E base damage decreased, slow increased.

Lee Sin rarely gets to be strong in the hands of us mere mortals since his skill cap is so high. We don't want to lower his skill expression, so by granting him more damage in the mid game and a bit more utility late game, we're hoping he can find success even without 300 APM kick combos.

---

Q - Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike

• Sonic Wave Physical Damage: 55/80/105/130/155 (+100% bonus AD) ⇒ 55/80/105/130/155 (+110% bonus AD)
• Resonating Strike Minimum Physical Damage: 55/80/105/130/155 (+100% bonus AD) ⇒ 55/80/105/130/155 (+110% bonus AD) (Note: Maximum damage is still double the value of the minimum damage)

---

E - Tempest / Cripple

• Total Damage: 100/130/160/190/220 (+100% bonus AD) ⇒ 35/65/95/125/155 (+100% total AD)
• Slow: 20/30/40/50/60% ⇒ 20/35/50/65/80%

Trundle

W cooldown decreased at all ranks. Discovered his passion for dancing.

Trundle hasn't really felt like the Troll King after various system nerfs indirectly affected him on top of other nerfs that actually directly affected him. So we’re reverting the uptime of his Frozen Domain so that he feels a bit more like his old self (but not his classic self), which should give him a reason to dance (which also got buffed).

---

W - Frozen Domain

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

---

Important Information

• Show me ya moves!: Trundle’s dance speed now scales with Trundle’s move speed.

Zac

W AP scaling decreased. E AP scaling decreased.

Zac has elastic slingshotted into a top tier jungler (and a few other lanes along the way). The recent Demonic Embrace nerfs brought down his power slightly, but he's still overperforming compared to the rest of the roster. We're reducing some of Zac's scaling damage as the game continues, so that he'll either have to rely on his teammates more for damage like other tanks, or be pushed into more greedier AP builds if he wants to start threatening squishier targets.

---

W - Unstable Matter

• Magic Damage: 35/50/65/80/95 (+4/5/6/7/8% (+4% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health ⇒ 35/50/65/80/95 (+4/5/6/7/8% (+3% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health

---

E - Elastic Slingshot

• Magic Damage: 60/110/160/210/260 (+90% AP) ⇒ 60/105/150/195/240 (+80% AP)

Radiant Virtue

Radiant Virtue is currently overpowered (even if pickrate isn't reflecting it) yet its strength isn’t really appreciable due to how unclear the item's best points are (because when you buy a strong item, you should feel strong). We're making Radiant Virtue’s upsides more apparent and impactful while removing some of the extraneous power that is pushing this item a bit too far. We feel enchanters already have plenty of defensive support options, while Radiant Virtue is meant for selfless tanks, who have fewer. So we’re tying Radiant's value more directly tied to tanks with the budget to acquire even more health.

• Total Cost: 3000 ⇒ 3200
• Passive - Guiding Light Cooldown:60 seconds ⇒ 90 seconds
• Passive - Guiding Light Cooldown Maximum Health Gained: 10% ⇒ 15%
• Total Healing: 8-16% maximum health over 9 seconds (note: includes healing amp passive) ⇒ 12% maximum health over 9 seconds
• removedAbility Haste: You and all allies within 1200 units gain 20 Ability Haste ⇒ REMOVED

Umbral Glaive

Umbral Glaive is currently much too effective at choking out enemy vision for assassins, supports, assassin supports, and especially marksman supports (stop killing my defenseless wards, Ashe). We do think this item deserves a spot on the roster though, so we’re reducing its uptime and general ability to devastate enemy traps and vision.

• Cooldown: 40 seconds ⇒ 50 seconds
• updatedRanged Champion Reduced Damage to Wards: When a ranged champion using Umbral Glaive attacks a ward they will deal 2 true damage to it (Note: Melee champions will still deal 3 damage to wards using Umbral Glaive)
• removedTrap Interactions: Umbral Glaive will no longer instantly kill traps, but it will still reveal them

Overheal

Overheal changes were intended to ship with 13.2, but because we only micropatched with 13.1b this change was held back until now. Overheal is stronger for everyone and especially stronger for marksmen because the rune is weak and because players can hopefully opt into running it in games where they need that extra durability.

• Shield Value: 10 +9% maximum health ⇒ 20-300 based on champion level (Note: This is a buff from level 5 onwards)

Right now the Solo Queue meta is 2:1 ranged supports, which is just fine. But the Pro meta is more than 20:1. League is at its best when there’s a wide variety of champions to play and watch, so we’re buffing some melee supports to create some more variety in bot lane. We’re committed to keeping an eye on gameplay health for everyone in the game long term, so if we go too hard or too soft here, we’ll follow up as needed.

Alistar

---

• Self Heal: 23-142 (based on level) ⇒ 5% maximum health
• Ally Heal: 46-284 (based on level) ⇒ 6% of Alistar’s maximum health

---

E - Riptide

Pyke

---

E - Phantom Undertow

• Physical Damage: 105/135/165/195/225 (+100% bonus AD) ⇒ 105/145/185/225/265 (+100% bonus AD)

Rakan

---

Q - Gleaming Quill

• Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds ⇒ 11/10/9/8/7 seconds
• Mana Cost: 60 ⇒ 45
• Base Heal: 30-115 (based on level) (+55% AP) ⇒ 40-210 (based on level) (+55% AP)

---

W - Grand Entrance

• Magic Damage: 70/125/180/235/290 (+70% AP) ⇒ 70/120/170/220/270 (+80% AP)

Thresh

---

Q - Death Sentence

• Magic Damage: 100/140/180/220/260 (+50% AP) ⇒ 100/145/190/235/280 (+80% AP) (Note: Thresh’s AP ratio can be interpreted as 0.8 damage per soul, unless you’re going AP Thresh... but you do you friend)

---

W - Dark Passage

• Shield per Soul: 2 ⇒ 1.5

---

• Magic Damage: 75/110/145/180/215 (+40% AP) ⇒ 75/110/145/180/215 (Note: Same note applies here, this will result in an 0.6 damage per soul)

Over the years Tenacity sources have increased dramatically. We want to streamline how these effects interact with each other as a cleanup to an old system and provide some clarity on which systems stack well and which don't. With these changes almost all Tenacity effects will stack multiplicatively (net weaker together) as opposed to the previous system where various systems sometimes stacked extremely well to nullify crowd control.

Tenacity sources within the same group will stack multiplicatively with each other.

Tenacity sources from separate groups will stack additively with each other.

• Anathema's Chains
• Elixir of Iron
• Iceborn Gauntlet
• Legend: Tenacity

Now that we’ve had a chance to let the preseason jungle changes settle into place we’ve gotten a more accurate picture of where the role currently stands and what still needs to be changed (as is typical with these large changes). Our main goals this time around is to bring down early ganking/diving power, shift some power from gold income to experience earned for junglers, and ultimately reducing early game volatility.

This won’t be the last followup change we’re making to the jungle because we have a few bigger issues we’d like to address like early game agency (specifically for level 1-4), balanced champion sustain, monster durability, making sure we strike the right balance between kill rewards and farming rewards, and more. That said, we’ll only ship these if we’re confident they’re the best direction for the game.

INCOME

Treat income currently rewards champions that gank more than champions that prefer to farm. Ideally both playstyles are viable, so we’re tipping the scales to be a bit more balanced.

• Gold per Treat: 30 ⇒ 20
• Experience per Jungle Camp with a Companion: Experience for clearing a jungle camp has been increased by 5 experience per camp

VISION

Early vision has been proven to deter early ganks in the past, especially in high skill levels. While we don’t want to go back to giving teams permanent map visibility, we do think some extra vision early will help curb the amount of early ganks currently happening on live. Given that you’ll have 2 players in the bot lane, this should be a safe way to introduce more vision leveraging the duo lane’s unique strengths.

• Stealth Ward Trinket Cooldown: 240-120 (based on average champion level) ⇒ 210-120 (based on average champion level)

GANKING SUCCESS

With the same intent of deterring the large amount of early ganks we’re upping early tower damage so that the benefits of early dives also come with an appropriate level of risk. As a reminder, turret shots ramp up in damage by 40% per shot against the same target.

• Turret Damage: 162-344 (0-14 minutes) ⇒ 182-350 (0-14 minutes)

OTHER CHANGES

Compared to previous seasons jungle companions are bringing a lot more burst damage into the game, particularly against epic monsters. This has caused situations where some champions appear from the Fog of War and their companions also appear and secure an accidental steal. We believe that securing epic monster secures and steals should be as intentional as possible, so we’re adding 1 more rule to the jungle to give some additional clarity.

• removedSmite Fights are for Champions: Jungle companions can no longer deal lethal damage to epic monsters,

Due to the recent social engineering attack the first Clash tournament of the year has unfortunately been delayed. This means that the first Clash tournament will not be in mid-February as it has been the past few years and the rest of the Clash tournament dates are being impacted as well. We’re working to get Clash back up and running as soon as possible, and promise to give you a schedule within the next few weeks as soon as we can provide accurate dates. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience in these unusual circumstances.

Our data shows that comeback rates when a team fails a 4 of 5 early surrender (before 20 min) are low. Teams have a generally good sense of what games they will and won't win when 4 of 5 players are on the same page. We’ll be testing a change to surrender thresholds that let these matches resolve more quickly. At the same time, it's important that a winning team has time to feel powerful with a lead and games aren't abandoned too soon. We’ll be closely monitoring player feedback and the impacts of this change to make sure this change well.

• In Blind Pick and Normal Draft, normal surrender (4 out of 5 OR 70% of team members must agree to pass the vote) is available at 20 minutes ⇒ 15 minutes. Unanimous early surrender requirement has been removed.

• Unrelated to the above, the MMR duo restriction for Apex ranks has been re-enabled

• Made matchmaking adjustments for faster Normal Blind Pick queue times

Removed the warning in Practice Tool for staying in the fountain too long (regular AFK detection still active)

ASUs

• Ahri’s ASU is coming to the Rift this patch with updated visuals, sound and visual effects, and animations for her base model and older skins.

JAX MIDSCOPE UPDATE FOLLOWUP

We’re shipping a few changes this patch that were intended to go live with Jax’s midscope update.

ANIMATIONS

• Mecha Kingdom Jax: R level up animation now correctly plays. R passive attacks now play at the correct speed. Special attack animations now correctly play with using E - Counterstrike.
• God Staff Jax: Adjusted cape stiffness and fixed some instances where Jax would move to idle between attacks. Added a new R passive animation that should help it feel more impactful.

SOUNDS

• Base + All Skins: Improved the hit sound on R slams. Fixed a bug that was sometimes causing a number of Jax’s sounds to not play at all.

VFX

• Base + All Skins: Returned the shield visual associated with Jax’s R buff.
• Nemesis Jax: Added lightning VFX to R.
• God Staff Jax: Added spikes and sparkles to his R to make the shield appear more dense.

• Conqueror Jax: Added lots of spiky shapes to R alongside a more strongly highlighted edge to the shield.
• Prestige Conqueror Jax: Same changes as those made to Conqueror Jax, but golden and with increased golden prestige sparkles.

CHAMPION SELECT

• Role and text filters now persist between champion select phases.

• Retired pick order & champion swapping tutorial tooltips.

QUALITY OF LIFE

• Rune Recommender now correctly persists the toggle for Summoner Spells to be included with a recommended page.

BUGFIX BASH

These bugs were significantly more difficult to tackle than the usual ones so it took us a bit longer and required some dedicated focus time for our engineers to fix them. Here are a few highlights from the Bug Bash, while other tickets worked during this period can be found below in Bugfixes.

• Fixed a bug that caused ally's summoner spell/ultimate indicators to show them as READY, despite them actually being on cooldown.

• Fixed a bug that caused Kalista’s W to sometimes not go in the intended direction.
• Fixed a bug that was causing 2023 seasonal challenges to not be displayed .

• Fixed a bug where upgrading Syndra’s E would sometimes reset its cooldown.
• Fixed a bug where Radiant Virtue would not proc on Nidalee if purchased while she was in her Cougar form.

• Fixed a bug that caused the heal from jungle companions to desync Rengar’s spell stack HUD.
• Fixed a bug where Champion unique quests would not trigger (namely Kha’Zix and Rengar).
• Fixed a bug that was causing Galio’s passive to make support item executes to prioritize lower HP enemies instead of the original target.
• Fixed a bug that caused jungle camps to attack Ivern. Some bugs just go too far…
• Fixed a bug that caused Mordekaiser’s W tooltip to display double the value of damage taken converted to W passive.
• Fixed a bug that was causing Navori’s Quickblade to not show up under the “critical strike chance” tag in shop.
• Fixed a bug that was causing Garen’s VO line upon killing Darius to not play.

• Fixed a bug that cause Miss Fortune’s R - Bullet Time area of effect to be misplaced is she moved during casting

The following skins will be released in this patch:

The following chromas will be released this patch:

Due to the recent social engineering attack, League's Patch 13.2 will not be deployed on 1/24 as planned. Our dev teams have been working hard over the last couple of days and have a hotfix prepared to be deployed on Thursday (1/26) that will have most of the content for both LoL and TFT.

We know this is disappointing but we believe we will have things repaired near the end of the week, which will allow us to remain on our regular patch cadence going forward.

Again, there is no indication that any player data or personal information was compromised. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Lunar Emperor Thresh, Lunar Empress Ashe, Lunar Empress Qiyana, Lunar Guardian Kha'Zix, Lunar Guardian Malphite, and Prestige Porcelain Lissandra will be available January 26, 2023.

Gangplank

AD growth decreased. E bonus damage on critical strikes decreased.

With the ADC changes coming this patch, GP’s going to strike treasure. To make sure his haul isn’t too lucrative, we’re preemptively nerfing him so that his endgame power will be roughly equal to what it currently is on live.

---

Base Stats

• AD Growth: 4 ⇒ 3.7

---

E - Powder Keg

• Bonus Damage on Critical Strikes: 10% ⇒ 5%

Heimerdinger

Q turret health decreased. W magic damage decreased.

After his creative genius captured the adoration of fans across the globe in the World Championship last year, Heimerdinger has been progressing in presence in high skill brackets and Pro play. Unfortunately, his genius plays currently lack sufficient counterplay. In order to reduce his powerful and frustrating bot lane we’re reducing his turret health and base rocket damage while buffing his AP scaling to maintain his viability in the mid lane.

---

Q - H-28G Evolution Turret

• Turret Health: 175-700 (based on level) (+5%-40% (based on level) AP) ⇒ 130-640 (based on level) (+5%-45% (based on level) AP)

---

W - Hextech Micro-Rockets

• Initial Magic Damage: 50/75/100/125/150 (+45% AP) ⇒ 40/65/90/115/140 (+55% AP)

Kassadin

E cooldown increased.

With Seraph’s Embrace being changed in 13.1, Kassadin has been having the time of his life. Unfortunately it’s time that came to an end, so we’re bringing his power down a tad to keep him in check.

---

E - Force Pulse

• Cooldown: 21/19/17/15/13 seconds ⇒ 21/20/19/18/17 seconds

Kindred

Q base damage decreased.

Kindred has been on the hunt and on the rise lately, but the fighter item changes are expected to impact them negatively while the marksmen changes will be overall very positive. We’re giving them a preemptive nerf here to keep Kindred power neutral compared to their state on live.

---

Q - Dance of Arrows

• Physical Damage: 60/85/110/135/160 (+75% Bonus AD) ⇒ 50/75/100/125/150 (+75% Bonus AD)

Lillia

Passive AP scaling increased. Q AP scaling increased. E AP scaling increased, cooldown now decreases with rank.

Between her recent nerfs and the upcoming nerfs to Demonic Embrace this patch we want to make sure we don’t killia Lillia. We’re tuning up her AP ratios for the most part so she feels better about building and stacking more AP in her builds.

---

Passive - Dream-Laden Bough

• Magic Damage: 5% (+1.2% per 100 AP) of target’s maximum health ⇒ 5% (+1.5% per 100 AP) of target’s maximum health

---

Q - Blooming Blows

• Magic Damage: 35/45/55/65/75 (+40% AP) ⇒ 35/45/55/65/75 (+45% AP)
• Outer Edge True Damage: 35/45/55/65/75 (+40% AP) ⇒ 35/45/55/65/75 (+45% AP)

---

E - Swirlseed

• Magic Damage: 70/95/120/145/170 (+45% AP) ⇒ 70/95/120/145/170 (+60% AP)
• Cooldown: 16 seconds at all ranks ⇒ 14 seconds

Lucian

Base mana decreased, growth increased (buffed at level 9). Base mana regeneration decreased, growth increased (buffed at level 14).

Lucian and Nami are overtaking the Pro scene, which means we need to address them. Unfortunately, Lucian as-is doesn't fare too well in the hands of non-Elite players. We’re lowering his lane bullying potential (about 10% less mana at level 1) while making him more forgiving to play at later levels (more mana at level 11 and beyond) which should help address this disparity. Lucian is also expected to be a big winner from Essence Reaver's buffs in this patch, hence some preemptive nerfs. Overall, we're hoping for Lucian to be roughly the same after these changes for the vast majority of players while he should perform worse in Pro.

---

Base Stats

• Base Mana: 349 ⇒ 320
• Mana Growth: 38 ⇒ 43
• Base Mana Regeneration: 8.18 ⇒ 7
• Mana Regeneration Growth: 0.7 ⇒ 0.8

Maokai

Q bonus damage to monsters decreased. E magic damage decreased.

Maokai’s current jungle power level exceeds what this patch’s nerf for Demonic Embrace will do, so we’re treeting him with some additional nerfs to bring him more in line with other junglers.

---

Q - Bramble Smash

• Bonus Damage to Monsters: 120/140/160/180/200 ⇒ 100/120/140/160/180

---

E - Sapling Toss

• Magic Damage: 55/80/105/130/155 (+6% bonus health) (+40% AP) ⇒ 55/80/105/130/155 (+5% bonus health) (+35% AP)
• Empowered Sapling Magic Damage: 110/160/210/260/310 (+12% bonus health) (+80% AP) ⇒ 110/160/210/260/310 (+10% bonus health) (+70% AP)

Nami

W adjusted. E base damage decreased.

Nami has been dominating in both solo queue and Pro play, so we’re reducing W and E’s flat damage while compensating W’s AP ratio to make her less of a lane bully and bring her into better waters.

---

W - Ebb and Flow

• Magic Damage: 70/110/150/190/230 (+50% AP) ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220 (+55% AP)

---

E - Tidecaller’s Blessing

• Bonus Magic Damage per Hit: 25/40/55/70/85 (+20% AP) ⇒ 20/35/50/65/80 (+20% AP)

Orianna

Passive damage adjusted. Q damage increased to consecutive targets. W mana cost decreased. R damage increased.

Orianna has been stuck as a mid lane understudy for a while now due to her ability to get wound up and take over Pro. It’s been a while since she’s seen the spotlight though, so we’re comfortable with giving her some measured buffs that’ll at least give her a shot at a starring role.

---

Passive - Clockwork Windup

• updatedTik Tok: 10-50 (levels 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, and 16) ⇒ 10-50 (levels 1-18)(Note: Damage is unchanged)

---

Q - Command: Attack

• Pass Through Damage Reduction: The ball deals 100% damage to the first target hit and damage afterwards is reduced by 10% per enemy hit ⇒ The ball deals 100% damage to the first target hit and damage afterwards is reduced to 70% to all enemies hit after the first

---

W - Command: Dissonance

• Mana Cost: 70/80/90/100/110 ⇒ 70/75/ 80/85/90

---

R - Command: Shockwave

• Magic Damage: 200/275/350 (+80% AP) ⇒ 250/350/450 (+90% AP)

Ryze

Base magic resist decreased. Passive AP scaling decreased.

With 13.1's buffs to Rod of Ages and Seraph's Embrace, it's no surprise one of the biggest benefactors was Ryze. With Seraph's and Catalyst returning to giving heaps of Ability Power and durability, Ryze is finding himself less blue (purple???)… especially in Elite and Pro play. We're tuning down how well his passive scales with Ability Power, which was buffed in a time where Ryze had much more limited access to his most important stats in items.

---

Base Stats

• Magic Resistance: 36 ⇒ 32

---

Passive - Arcane Mastery

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

Udyr

Q AD scaling decreased, attack speed increased. R base damage decreased.

In 12.23, we shifted the power from Udyr's Q into his other stances, but we overshot on the power of his R, so it’s now overperforming other rank-up options. We're reverting one of those buffs and expect his stances to be more equally viable with the additional Demonic Embrace nerfs coming this patch. We’re also slightly reducing the burst potential of his heavy AD builds, which are less powerful but still have frustrating levels of percent health burst when combined with early armor penetration.

---

Q - Wilding Claw

• Bonus Physical Damage: 3/4/5/6/7/8% (+5% per 100 bonus AD) ⇒ 3/4/5/6/7/8% (+4% per 100 bonus AD)
• Bonus Attack Speed: 20/30/40/50/60/70% ⇒ 20/32/44/56/68/80%

---

R - Wingborne Storm

• Base Damage per Tick: 10/20/30/40/50/60 ⇒ 10/19/28/37/46/55

Yuumi

Attack range decreased. Passive now temporarily increases attack range.

The magical cat's last nerfs reduced a lot of her power in solo queue, but still kept her at an uncomfortable level in Pro. With her current presence and upcoming ADC changes, we're going to be taking the last nerfs a bit further as we continue to rework her. We're limiting Yuumi's ability to effectively trade with her basic attacks and health pool, which has been a big factor in her Pro dominance.

---

Base Stats

• Attack Range: 500 ⇒ 425
• Base Attack Damage: 55 ⇒ 49
• Base Health: 550 ⇒ 500
• Base Health Regeneration: 7 ⇒ 5

---

Passive - Bop 'n' Block

• newAttack Range: When Bop ‘n’ Block is ready Yuumi will gain 25 bonus range for that attack only.
• Shield Strength: 60-380 (based on level) ⇒ 45-300 (based on level)

---

W - You and Me!

• Adaptive Force: 12-20 (+12-20% of bonus) ⇒ 12-20 (+6-10% of bonus)

---

E - Zoomies

• removedMovement Speed: 20% (+2% per 100 AP) ⇒ 20% (Note: AP ratio was removed)

Zoe

E now reduces the opponent's magic resist when asleep.

Since 12.10, Zoe is one of the few burst mages that hasn't been adjusted to new magic resist values, and her success in lower levels of play is suffering as a result. Zoe's all about getting ahead early and snowballing, but in recent times it’s been more challenging for her to find those kills early in game. So we’re giving her a small improvement that should keep her burst damage feeling powerful without making her feel overwhelmingly oppressive.

---

E - Sleepy Trouble Bubble

• newPutting the Trouble in the Bubble: Enemies inflicted with sleep from Zoe’s Sleepy Trouble Bubble now have their Magic Resist reduced by 20/22.5/25/27.5/30%. (Note: This debuff disappears when the target is woken up.)

We’re making some adjustments this patch that should help reduce some of the current frustration with fighters, namely the high levels of sustain and ability haste that the class has access to. To tackle ability haste, we’re separating it from most defensive items which should mean that a fighter will need to pick between ability haste and durability for their second item purchase, delaying some of their power into their third item. As far as omnivamp goes, we want to curb stacking sources of sustain to slow down heavy snowballing itemizations.

We're aware that some of the currently underperforming fighters may fall behind without sustain or with longer cooldowns as a result of these changes. We'll be monitoring each champion affected individually, and will adjust where needed due to how many core items we’re changing.

Grievous Wounds is a necessary effect found on mostly pretty weak items, leading to items that are both unreliable and unsatisfying when it comes to heal cut. We're buffing Grievous Wounds items, but not Grievous Wounds itself, with a couple main goals.

First, we want Grievous Wounds accessible when you identify that you need it — not 2500 or more gold later. That means having component items that actually matter, not just finished ones. Second, we want Grievous Wounds items to make sense in builds, with reasonable gold efficiency. Third, we don't want you playing minigames to access Grievous Wounds - we want it to just work when you need it.

And yes, it's perfectly ok to buy an Executioner's Calling or Bramble Vest and just sit on it while you buy other stuff if the game calls for it.

For those interested in the numbers, a note on why we didn't increase the Grievous Wounds amount from 40% back to 60%. We need to tune healing numbers around what happens in-game, and Grievous Wounds scales very aggressively as the number gets higher. Healing output at 40% Grievous Wounds is half again higher than healing output at 60% Grievous Wounds... which sounds great, until someone gets a heal off when Grievous Wounds happens to have fallen off, and it ends up being unexpectedly huge. The stronger we make Grievous Wounds, the more large, unexpected burst heals you should expect to see in your games.

• Ability Power: 35 ⇒ 30

While AD Carries aren’t strictly weak, League has gotten faster and most of their best items have been pushed later into their builds over the years. We’re adjusting Infinity Edge and Navori Quickblades to make them available as second items so that ADCs can access their most important power spike earlier in the game.

For those who find their team comp lacks proper peel, we’ve also buffed opt-in durability with a cheaper, shieldier Bloodthirster.

Finally, we’re alleviating late game mana constraints on several AD carries who frequently run Presence of Mind. These buffs should give those specific champions more room to run healthier options like Triumph or Overheal.

These changes will certainly add power to ADCs overall but we’re hoping this has an oversized effect on making the role funner to play.

Infinity Edge

• Passive - Perfection Required Critical Strike Chance: 60% ⇒ 40%

Navori Quickblades

• Passive - Transcendence Required Critical Strike Chance: 60% ⇒ 40%

Blade of the Ruined King

Blade of the Ruined King was adjusted as part of the fighter item changes AND the ADC changes this patch, so the rationale for both of those changes extended to BoRK as well.

• Cooldown: 20 seconds ⇒ 30 seconds
• Ranged On-Hit Damage: 8% ⇒ 9%
• Siphon Bonus Magic Damage: 40-150 (levels 1-18) ⇒ 40-103 (levels 9-18)

Demonic Embrace

Demonic Embrace is currently just a bit too good on melee champions and nearly non-viable on ranged ones. We think that Demonic should still be a strong item, just not simultaneously mandatory on some champs while being extremely weak on others.

• Maximum Health Burn: 1.8% for melee champions/0.8% for ranged champions ⇒ 1.6% for melee champions/1.0% for ranged champions

Essence Reaver

Essence Reaver is currently letting down the champions that want to build it most, so we’re upping its power a bit to be more in line with other itemization options.

• Attack Damage: 45 ⇒ 55
• Total Gold Cost: 2800 ⇒ 2900

Buffs

• Aatrox: Damage Received: 100% ⇒ 90%, Tenacity: 0 ⇒ 20
• Katarina: Ability Haste 0 ⇒ 10

Nerfs

• Fiddlesticks: Damage Received: 100% ⇒ 105%
• Illaoi: Damage Received: 100% ⇒ 105%
• Sion: Tenacity: 0 ⇒ -20
• Swain: Healing Modifier: 100% ⇒ 90%

Adjustments

Leblanc has been one of the most heavily modified champions in ARAM, so we’re looking to see if helping her use her abilities more frequently but less powerfully helps mitigate some of the frustration of dying to what feels like two buttons while keeping Leblanc players satisfied when they execute their full combo.

• Leblanc: Damage Dealt: 117% ⇒ 110%, Damage Received: 83% ⇒ 90%, Ability Haste 0 ⇒ 20

Death Timer Reduction

Since the ARAM updates in patch 12.22, we've heard a lot of feedback about pacing in game modes, specifically around Death Timers. We agree that these timers are too long (especially in URF), so we’re going to be testing out some changes to them. While this set of changes may not hit the sweet spot right away, we’ll be following up in future patches to get them to a better place and roll them out to other game modes.

• Faster URF Respawns: Death timers have been reduced by 3 seconds at each level.

Chemtech Drake

Chemtech Drake has been settling back into the Rift and is adjusting well, but is still a bit less powerful than the other drakes. We’re giving Chemtech some small buffs to make it feel just a little more at home.

• Chemtech Drake Buff: 5% Tenacity and Heal/Shield power ⇒ 6% Tenacity and Heal/Shield power
• Chemtech Drake Soul: 10% damage resistance and increased damage dealt when below 50% health ⇒ 11% damage resistance and increased damage dealt when below 50% health

The following skins will be released in this patch:

The following chromas will be released this patch:

Mythmaker Irelia, Mythmaker Galio, Mythmaker Garen, Mythmaker Sivir, Mythmaker Zyra, Prestige Mythmaker Sivir will be available January 12, 2023.

Jax

Midscope update. All abilities adjusted.

Jax’s midscope update is on the smaller side compared to our previous onces. Overall, we like his simpler gameplay and kit, but we felt there was room to make his ultimate ability more interesting. Additionally, we’ve shifted his AP ratios around to buff up his burstier AP playstyle that’s seen play in the past. All of that said, unfortunately Jax still doesn’t have a real weapon…

---

Q - Leap Strike

• Physical Damage: 65/105/145/185/225 (+100% bonus AD)(+60% AP) ⇒ 65/105/145/185/225 (+100% bonus AD) (+0% AP)

---

E - Counter Strike

• Minimum Damage: 55/80/105/130/155 (+50% bonus AD) Physical Damage ⇒ 55/85/115/145/175 (+4% max HP of the target) (+100% AP) Magic Damage
• Bonus Damage per Attack Dodged: 20% of total damage ⇒ 20% of base damage

---

R - Grandmaster’s Might

• Cooldown: 80 seconds ⇒ 100/90/80 seconds
• 3rd Hit Passive Bonus Magic Damage: 100/140/180 (+ 70% AP) ⇒ 80/120/160 (+ 60% AP)
• newImagine if I had a Real Animation: Jax’s R passive now has updated animations, sound effects, and visual effects
• newNEW ACTIVE: Jax swings his lantern around him, dealing 150/250/350 (+100% AP) magic damage to nearby enemies. If he hits a champion he gains 25/45/65 (+40% bonus AD) Armor plus 15/20/25% (+10% bonus AD) per champion hit, as well as 60% of that value as Magic Resist for the next 8 seconds. During this time the passive damage applies every 2nd attack instead of every 3rd.

---

Other

• newImagine if I had a Real Icon: Jax’s spell icons have all been updated
• newImagine if I had a Reel Weapon: Jax’s secret passive, fishing, has been added to the game

Aatrox

Passive damage decreased. E increased healing from R decreased. R bonus movement speed decreased.

Aatrox has been bringing death to the top lane for a while now, and with Preseason shipped and the new season kicking off, now is a great time to address his strong presence in top. We’re tapping down his damage, healing, and move speed which should help bring the Darkin more in line with other top laners.

---

Passive - Deathbringer Stance

• Bonus Percent Maximum Health Damage: 5-12% (based on level) ⇒ 4-10% (based on level)

---

E - Umbral Dash

• Passive Increased Healing during World Ender: 25/30/35/40/45% ⇒ 20/24/28/32/36%

---

R - World Ender

• Bonus Movement Speed: 60/80/100% ⇒ 50/65/80%

Dr. Mundo

Base health decreased. Armor growth decreased. E bonus attack damage decreased.

Since his changes in the last patch, Dr. Mundo has been going where he pleases (top and jungle) and performing quite well there. Now that our changes have succeeded in pumping up Mundo’s tank scaling fantasy, we’re looking to reel in his power and avoid any potential malpractice issues…

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 653 ⇒ 613
• Armor Growth: 4.2 ⇒ 3.7

---

E - Blunt Force Trauma

• Bonus Attack Damage: 2.5/3/3.5/4/4.5% of maximum health ⇒ 2/2.5/3/3.5/4% of maximum health

Fiora

Passive AD scaling decreased. Q bonus AD scaling decreased.

Since the durability and tank item updates, our premiere anti-tank skirmisher has been eating well. Her bonus-AD-hungry kit has better options against all foes with the new Ravenous Hydra. As the stars have aligned for Fiora’s success, we need to tap down the AD scaling on both her anti-tank and generic damage. Champions who can do too much of both can veer into the territory of becoming too strong, but we do want her to maintain her unique kit. Our eyes will be on the Grand Duelist to monitor these changes.

---

Passive - Duelist’s Dance

• Maximum Health Damage AD Scaling: 4.5% maximum health true damage per 100 AD ⇒ 4% maximum health true damage per 100 AD

---

Q - Lunge

• Physical Damage: 70/80/90/100/110 (+ 95/100/105/110/115% bonus AD) ⇒ 70/80/90/100/110 (+ 90/95/100/105/110% bonus AD)

Jayce

Base AD increased. Q (Hammer Form) base damage increased. W (Hammer Form) damage increased.

Jayce has been keeping his distance recently. Mostly because he’s always in his cannon form due to its many advantages over the weaker hammer form. In order to help balance out his stances we’re buffing up the hammer form to give Jayce the opportunity to have more of those cool Arcane fight scenes.

---

Base Stats

• Base Attack Damage: 54 ⇒ 57

---

Q (Hammer Form) - To the Skies!

• Base Physical Damage: 55/100/145/190/235/280 ⇒ 60/110/160/210/260/310

---

W (Hammer Form) - Lightning Field

• Magic Damage Per Second: 25/40/55/70/85/100 ⇒ 35/50/65/80/95/110

K'Sante

Base movement speed decreased. Passive base damage decreased. W physical damage decreased.

As players have become more comfortable and skilled on K’Sante he’s started becoming strong, which is par for the course. However, combined with his last buffs this pushed him a little too far in high skill brackets of play. We’re bringing his power down a notch before he starts to become particularly problematic.

---

Base Stats

• Base Movement Speed: 335 ⇒ 330

---

Passive - Dauntless Instinct

• Base Damage: 10-25 (based on level) ⇒ 5-20 (based on level)

---

W - Path Maker

• Minimum Physical Damage: 4.25/4.5/4.75/5/5.25% of target's maximum health ⇒ 2/2.25/2.5/2.75/3% of target's maximum health
• Maximum Physical Damage: 8.25/8.5/8.75/9/9.25% of target's maximum health ⇒ 7/7.25/7.5/7.75/8% of target's maximum health

Lissandra

Health growth increased. Q slow increased. W cooldown decreased.

Lissandra has been underperforming across different skill brackets and lacking excitement for a while now. We’re making a few changes that should help her get more involved in fights, increase overall utility, and also synergize with her close combat style of play.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 104 ⇒ 110

---

Q - Ice Shard

• Slow: 16/19/22/25/28% ⇒ 20/24/28/32/36%

---

W - Ring of Frost

• Cooldown: 14/13/12/11/10 seconds ⇒ 12/11/10/9/8 seconds

Rammus

Base AD decreased, base health decreased. W calculations adjusted, flat armor decreased, armor scaling decreased.

Like Amumu and the jungle companions, Rammus found a new friend in Preseason by the name of Jak’Sho the Protean. The current synergy between Rammus’ W and Jak’Sho is being adjusted so that the two interact more cleanly with one another, but this should be roughly neutral. That said, Rammus is a bit too strong right now, so we are baking in a small nerf to his overall durability.

---

Base Stats

• Base Attack Damage: 56 ⇒ 53
• Base Health: 634 ⇒ 614

---

W - Defensive Ball Curl

• Flat Armor: 40 ⇒ 25
• Percent Armor: 60/70/80/90/100% ⇒ 40/55/70/85/100%
• newOK Math: Flat resists granted by Rammus’ W are now also amplified by the percent resists that are granted by W

Shaco

Q mana cost decreased, backstab damage increased. W AD ratio increased.

Famously (or infamously), Shaco has quite a few builds he can kill you with, his AD build has fallen pretty low in terms of effectiveness. In this patch, we’re increasing its burst a little to keep it a viable build option. On top of that, we’re also bringing Q’s mana cost down which should help since AD Shaco doesn’t build any mana items. Really, we just want to see more of the clown in the game. All right, now you can go check out the changes.

---

Q - Deceive

• Mana Cost: 60 ⇒ 40
• Backstab Critical Strike Bonus Damage: 30% ⇒ 40%

---

W - Jack in the Box

• Magic Damage: 70/95/120/145/170 (+75% bonus AD)(+60% AP) ⇒ 70/95/120/145/170 (+80% bonus AD)(+60% AP)
• Magic Damage to Targets Below 30% Health of Maximum Health: 105/142.5/180/217.5/255 (+112.5% bonus AD)(+90% AP) ⇒ 105/142.5/180/217.5/255 (+120% bonus AD)(+90% AP)

Sion

Base Health increased. Q full charge damage increased.

Our 12.23 buffs to Sion undershot our goals, partially due to the Q buff only affecting snapcasts of the ability. This round we’ll be buffing up fully charged Qs as well as increasing base durability to help give Sion the boost he needs to be more competitive.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 615 ⇒ 655

---

Q - Decimating Smash

• Damage When Fully Charged: 70/135/200/265/330 ⇒ 90/155/220/285/350

Twisted Fate

Q cooldown now decreases with rank. W Blue Card and Red Card AP ratios increased.

It’s been a long time since we last buffed TF and even then he hasn’t been lucky enough to be drawn in Solo Queue or Pro Play. We’re giving him a bit more freedom to let his cards fly wildly while putting a bit more oomph behind his Red and Blue cards so he can leave his opponents looking more black and blue.

---

Q - Wild Cards

• Cooldown: 6 seconds at all ranks ⇒ 6/5.75/5.5/5.25/5 seconds

---

W - Pick A Card

Xayah

Base attack speed and attack speed ratio increased.

Xayah isn't quite up to snuff compared to other marksmen and her attack-focused builds are weaker than more casting-centric ones. A moderate increase to her overall attack speed should help with both of those issues and help Xayah find her wings in the bot lane.

---

Base Stats

• Base Attack Speed/Attack Speed Ratio: 0.625 ⇒ 0.658

Yuumi

Q base damage decreased.

Yuumi is still terrorizing higher skill brackets of play leading to her current ban rate being higher than we’d like. In order to help get Yuumi out of the picture while we rework her, we’re tagging her Q with some pretty significant nerfs to reduce her powerful poke and make her less frustrating to play against.

---

Q - Prowling Projectile

• Base Damage: 50/90/130/170/210/250 ⇒ 50/80/110/140/170/200
• Empowered Base Damage: 60/110/160/210/260/310 ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220/260

Zeri

Attack Damage growth decreased. Q base damage decreased.

Zeri's rework has succeeded in shifting her to a new and healthier play pattern, but she’s been a bit strong in higher brackets of play since her changes in 12.23. Her shorter range brought in many new avenues of counterplay early in the game which was one of our major goals, but she's still a bit too consistent of a DPS threat at her three item power spike. As follow up to her changes in the last patch, we’re toning down her scaling damage a bit and hitting her favorite cat so Zeri is a bit less scary of a carry.

---

Base Stats

• Attack Damage Growth: 1.5 ⇒ 1.3

---

Q - Burst Fire

• Total Base Physical Damage: 15/18/21/24/27 ⇒ 15/17/19/21/23

Axiom Arc

Axiom Arc is a cool item but really only has one core user in Nocturne (and we love him for it). With a buff aimed at assassins, we hope that more players will be casting more ultimates so they can ultimately complete their anime protagonist arc.

---

• Lethality: 10 ⇒ 18

Horizon Focus

Horizon Focus doesn't receive too much attention outside of a few artillery mages… and it's not even that great on them. With enough Ability Power to now match Shadowflame, maybe you'll tell the shopkeeper, "Bring me the Horizon Focus!" To which they'll reply, "That's the spirit!"

---

• Ability Power: 85 ⇒ 100

Jak’Sho, the Protean

Jak'Sho has landed as a solid core item for tanks, however it’s also been quite potent on fighters. We’re ok with fighters sometimes purchasing the item when they want to lean more into durability over damage. But we don’t think it should dominate all the other Mythic choices they have, and right now it's close to doing just that. We're shifting the ratios on Jak'Sho to better incentivize additional defensive purchases and make it a worse one-stop shop for durability in fighter builds.

---

• Cost: 3100 ⇒ 3200
  
• Voidborne Resilience Stacking: 2 per second (+15% total resists at max stacks) ⇒ 2 per second (+20% bonus resists at max stacks)
• Drain Damage: 3% of maximum Health ⇒ 80 (+7% bonus Health)
• newChampions ONLY: Voidborne Resilience’s drain damage will no longer affect minions and monsters

Rod of Ages

Rod of Ages is still a bit weak after having its cost buffed and is missing the mark a bit when it comes to that classic RoA experience we all love and remember. We’re shipping some small buffs this patch aimed at the item's immediate power spike as a stat stick while also making the Move Speed more noticeable and effective. We’re also making adjustments to the Eternity passive as it's currently skewing too far towards taking damage (and restoring mana) versus casting spells (and healing).

---

• Health: 300 ⇒ 400
• Eternity Move Speed Proc Requirement: 250 Healing or Mana Restoration ⇒ 200 Healing or Mana Restoration>
• Eternity Bonus Move Speed Amount: 25% ⇒ 35%
• Move Speed Duration: 2 seconds ⇒ 3 seconds
• updatedMove Speed Decay: Move speed gained from Eternity now decays more slowly

---

Passive - Eternity

• (Note: These passive changes will also apply to Catalyst of the Aeons and Abyssal Mask)
• Percent of Pre-Mitigation Damage Received Restored as Mana: 8% ⇒ 7%
• Percent of Mana Cost Spent Restored as Health: 20% ⇒ 25%
• Maximum Heal per Cast/Second (for Toggled Abilities): 15 ⇒ 20

---

QoL Updates and Bugfixes

• Coming to screens near you: Eternity’s Move Speed proc buff now appears on the player’s HUD
• Top Off: Healing and mana restored when at full health/mana will now count towards Eternity’s Move Speed proc
• Stack Check: Fixed a bug that was causing Eternity’s maximum heal cap to not correctly increase at maximum stacks

Archangel’s Staff/Seraph’s Embrace

While functional, the current version of Seraph's Embrace hasn't been hitting the mark in terms of excitement and impact. With RoA and Catalyst returning, the healing effect has now become redundant. We tested a few iterations of this item in Preseason that didn’t feel quite right leading to the changes being delayed, so we’re excited to have reached a version we’re more confident in for live. We're shifting Archangel’s back towards a high AP scaling item with a defensive option to help mages have a little more room for error in the late game.

---

Archangel’s Staff

• Total Cost: 2600 ⇒ 3000
• Ability Power: 60 ⇒ 80
• Ability Haste: 0 ⇒ 10
• Passive - Awe: Grants Ability Haste equal to 0.5% of bonus mana ⇒ Grants AP equal to 1% bonus mana

---

Seraph’s Embrace

• removedPassive - Empyrean: The Empyrean passive of Seraph’s Embrace has been removed and replaced with Lifeline
• newPassive - Lifeline: Upon taking damage that would reduce your Health below 30%, gain a 250 (+ 20% current Mana) shield (90 second cooldown)
• Passive - Awe: Grants Ability Haste equal to 1.3% bonus mana ⇒ Grants AP equal to 2.5% of bonus mana

Winter’s Approach

With the avalanche of new and updated Preseason tank items, Winter's Approach has lost its place among the Legendary items (which is a shame because winter finally came). We're reverting some of our nerfs from last year so that Winter's Approach stands out more as the mana/health stacking second item.

---

Winter’s Approach

• Total Cost: 2700 ⇒ 2600
• Health: 350 ⇒ 400

---

Fimbulwinter

• Health: 350 ⇒ 400

Legend: Tenacity

In its current state, Legend: Tenacity is a legendary source of Tenacity in the game. Especially when it comes to fighters where it’s the optimal rune in its row when running standard keystones. Currently champions are taking this rune into CC-reliant matchups as a way to avoid Merc Treads and invest into other stats. That, combined with the fact that Legend:Tenacity far surpasses Unflinching in terms of power meant that this rune needed a sizable amount of power removed from it.

---

• Tenacity per Legend Stack: 5% (+2.5% per Legend stack) ⇒ 5% (+1.5% per Legend stack)
• Maximum Tenacity at Full Stacks: 30% ⇒ 20%

The 12.23 ARAM changes shook up the Howling Abyss and we hope you enjoyed testing them out in our first ever ARAM Clash! We're currently evaluating the tower rubble and other new changes, but for now will be focusing on addressing more immediate balance concerns this patch.

---

Buffs

• Lifesteal Effectiveness on Minions: 50% ⇒ 60% (Note: Marksmen are suffering the most after the changes, so we're returning a small amount of lifesteal power to slightly buff the entire class. As we're also changing marksmen's primary predators in juggernauts and assassins, we're taking a smaller step here to see if we need to do more for this class.)
• Death Timers: Death timers at levels 1-18 have all been reduced by 1 second (Note: In patch 12.23, death timers were changed to be 3 seconds longer in the late-game. We are walking back a bit of that change, and closely monitoring game time while considering further changes.)
• Draven: Outgoing Damage: 100% ⇒ 105%
• Kai’Sa: Outgoing Damage: 100% ⇒ 105%, Attack Speed Scaling: 100% ⇒ 102.5%
• Kalista: Outgoing Damage: 105% ⇒ 110%

• Lulu: Shield Modifier: 100% ⇒ 110%

Season 2023 - Split 1 begins with the release of Patch 13.1 in your region! Ranks have been reset, hit the Rift in Ranked Solo/Duo or Ranked Flex to begin your climb!

---

• New Ranked rewards as you climb have been added! These are earned through obtaining Split Points by completing games. You earn 10 Split Points for a win, and 6 for a loss. Check out the rewards in the Ranked tab in the client.
• The Ranked skin for Split 1 is earnable by players of all ranks, but the amount of Split Points required varies by rank: 80 points for Gold and above and 1600 points for Silver and below. In addition, once you earn the skin, it remains earned even if you were to demote. The skin will be distributed after the end of Season 2023 - Split 1.
• Promotion Series have been reduced from a best of 5 to a best of 3
• The restriction on duoing in Ranked Solo/Duo with an MMR of Masters or above is disabled until patch 13.3. 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.
• Visible rank is no longer used as matchmaking criteria, only MMR (Note: this was implemented in patch 12.23)
• Career stats have been reset for the new ranked season

We’re making some changes to how refunds work in League of Legends. For starters, every player should have their refund tokens refreshed up to the maximum amount of 3 to start off 2023. In the past, the complexity associated with maintaining this system has led to delays in the annual refresh, so we’ve opted to bring the entire League community up to 3 tokens.

---

However, due to the aforementioned complexity, we’ve made the difficult decision to remove refund tokens entirely later this year in patch 13.11. This will bring the refund policy in line with our other games, removing the need to maintain an older system just for League. As a result, the base refund policy will shift in patch 13.11 as well. Unused, eligible content will be refundable for up to 14 days from purchase. More detailed information around content eligibility, what constitutes “used content,” and special edge cases can be found on our support site. To recap, the tokens will disappear in patch 13.11 if not used by that date and the refund policy will adjust at the same time. Until then, you can continue to use the tokens as they have operated in the past. We will provide more information and reminders as patch 13.11 draws closer.

This update goes out to our ARAM players! From the new stat adjustments introduced in the last patch to falling towers and Frostgates, new and exciting updates are coming to the Howling Abyss this patch.

Frostgates

A lot of the fun in ARAM happens when you're fighting, poking, or womboing your opponents—not when you're walking back to the fight. To help you get back into the action faster we're introducing Hexgates to the Howling Abyss!

• newFrostgates: Frostgates will be present from the beginning of the game and will teleport you directly from your Nexus to your outer tower. Once your first tower is destroyed, the Frostgate will then link to your team’s inhibitor tower where it will then stay for the remainder of the game.

Falling Towers

Some parts of the bridge have been showing their age recently and are starting to fall apart. Our goal with falling towers is to create more interesting situations on the map that break away from the usual straight line of ARAM. Now you’ll have new choke points to think about, Fog of War to hide in, and terrain you can experiment with to create new plays!

• newTower Rubble: When outer towers are destroyed they will collapse and leave behind a pile of rubble which will be treated as new terrain.

Brush Changes

Alongside the ARAM changes we figured we'd also do some landscaping on the bridge to help freshen things up a bit.

• newBrushing Up: There is now one new brush in the middle bottom side of the bridge. The brushes between the outer and inhibitor turrets have also increased in size.

Bridge Repairs

We finally got around to making some repairs on Howling Abyss! With the new falling towers mechanic we wanted to make the bridge a bit more spacious to compensate for the space now taken up by tower rubble.

• newUnder Repair: The gaps on the bottom side of the bridge have been filled in and are now traversable

Battle Boost QoL Updates

Adding a few quality of life updates to the current Battle Boost feature.

• newNot so Fast: Players will no longer be able to activate Battle Boosts within the last 10 seconds of champion select
• newYou’re Welcome: Allies will now be able to tell which player gifted their team a Battle Boost

S-Rank Chest Visibility

Go forth and get S rank on all the champs (or as many as your team's RNG will allow)!

• newMaster them All! Players will now be able to see which champions they have not yet received S-Rank Chests for in ARAM champion select

Nerfs

• Heartsteel Maximum health gained: 10% of damage dealt ⇒ 5% of damage dealt

Mosstomper

Mosstomper has come out of the gates as one of the stronger jungle companions introduced in Preseason. We’re making a few adjustments to Mosstomper’s current Tenacity bonuses so that enemies have a few more counterplay opportunities.

• Tenacity Buff Duration: 3 seconds ⇒ 1.5 seconds
• Tenacity Type: Item (additive with item tenacity) ⇒ Champion (multiplicative with item tenacity)

Ravenous Hydra

We overshot a bit with Hydra’s overall stats, making it a much too efficient item for the gold that it cost. We’re preserving its niche as a rush item for champions that like the AD, but are reducing its AoE damage and pulling out the Ominvamp from stacks that was really pushing this item over the edge.

• AoE Splash Damage: 60% AD for melee champions /30% AD for ranged champions ⇒ 50% AD for melee champions/25% AD for ranged champions
• removedOmnivamp from Stacks: 4% ⇒ Removed

Sunfire Aegis

With the recent downgrade to Sunfire Aegis we expected tanks to farm less effectively than they could with the Immolate passive. Unfortunately the changes landed a bit weak in 12.22 resulting in tanks opting to just not buy the item which, in turn, resulted in a loss of farm for top lane tanks (jungle tanks made out alright though thanks to the companions). We still want Sunfire to be a useful tool for tanks as a first or second item, but not mandatory. So this patch we’re addressing these issues by buffing the tanks whose ability to farm was impacted most and increasing the state efficiency of Sunfire so that it's a more reliable tank damage option.

• Combine Cost: 1000 ⇒ 900
• Total Cost: 2800 ⇒ 2700
• Health: 400 ⇒ 500

Amumu

Health growth increased. Q mana cost increased. W damage increased. E base magic damage increased.

Despite his newfound companions in the jungle, Amumu has been a sad mummy. The new tank items and jungle changes really hurt his ability to clear come mid- to late-game relative to other junglers, so we’re shifting some of his power to cover these weaknesses without buffing his already strong Support power.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 89 ⇒ 100

---

Q - Bandage Toss

• Mana Cost: 30/35/40/45/50 ⇒ 40/45/50/55/60

---

W - Despair

• Damage per Second: 12/16/20/24/28 (+1/1.15/1.3/1.45/1.6% of target’s maximum HP) ⇒ 12/16/20/24/28 (+1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2% of target’s maximum HP)

---

E - Tantrum

• Base Magic Damage: 85/110/135/160/185 (+ 50% AP) ⇒ 80/110/140/170/200 (+ 50% AP)

Cho’Gath

Passive mana restoration increased. W base damage increased. R cooldown now decreases with rank.

The lack of early access to Immolate and overall tank item changes have resulted in a pretty sizable power loss for Cho. In order to help him feel like a good chonky monster again we’re putting some more power into his passive mana sustain and letting him feast on enemies a bit more often.

---

Passive - Carnivore

• Mana Restored on Enemy Kills: 3.5-7.75 (based on level) ⇒ 4.7-9.5 (based on level)

---

W - Feral Scream

• Base Damage: 75/125/175/225/275 ⇒ 80/135/190/245/300

---

R - Feast

• Cooldown: 80 seconds ⇒ 80/70/60 seconds

Dr. Mundo

All abilities adjusted.

Dr. Mundo hasn’t been living up to his unkillable late game fantasy lately, so the good doctor has received some treatment in order to help him out. We’ve made a bunch of changes to Mundo’s medical tools, but the biggest changes were to his Heart Stopper and Maximum Dosage which have been adjusted to be significantly stronger in the late game. Now get out there, throw some Qs, and be unkillable.

---

Base Stats

• Base Magic Resist: 32 ⇒ 29
• Magic Resist Growth: 2.05 ⇒ 2.3
• Base Attack Speed: 0.72 ⇒ 0.67
• Attack Damage Growth: 3.5 ⇒ 2.5

---

Passive - Goes Where He Pleases

• Cannister Health Loss: 7% of current health ⇒ 3% of current health
• Cannister Heal: 8% of maximum health ⇒ 4% of maximum health
• Max Health Regen per 5 seconds: 0.8-1.6% (linear progression) ⇒ 0.4-2.5% (non-linear progression, equal at level 11)

---

Q - Infected Bonesaw

• Health Cost: 50 ⇒ 60

---

W - Heart Zapper

• Health Cost: 5% of current health ⇒ 8% of current health
• Gray Health Healed after Not Taking Damage: 0% ⇒ 50%
• Damage Stored as Gray Health: 25/30/35/40/45% ⇒ 80-95% based on level in the first 0.75 seconds, then 25% afterwards
• Duration: 4 seconds ⇒ 3 seconds

---

E - Blunt Force Trauma

• Passive Bonus AD: 15/20/15/30/35 (+ 25/30/35/40/45 based on missing health) ⇒ 2.5/3/3.5/4/4.5% maximum health
• Health Cost: 10/20/30/40/50 ⇒ 20/30/40/50/60
• Cooldown: 8/7.5/7/6.5/6 seconds ⇒ 9/8.25/7.5/6.75/6 seconds
• Bonus Damage to Monsters: 200% ⇒ 150%

---

R - Maximum Dosage

• Missing Health Gained as Maximum Health: 8/11.5/15% ⇒ 15/20/25%
• newMega Mundo Heals: At rank 3, Mundo’s R’s healing effects are increased by an additional 5% per nearby enemy champion
• removedMundo Mad: R no longer gives bonus AD

K’Sante

Base health regeneration increased, health growth increased. E adjusted.

K’Sante has been a tad weak in average skill brackets, so we’re giving him a few quality of life upgrades that should help him perform better in the hands of average players without pushing him over the line in elite play.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health Regeneration: 8.5 ⇒ 9.5
• Health Growth: 104 ⇒ 108

---

E - Footwork

• newAuto Attack Reset: E will now partially reset auto attacks in K’Sante’s base form, and will be a full auto attack reset while in his All Out form
• Wall Forgiveness: Adjusted E so that if K’Sante is very close to dashing through a wall he will now go through the wall

Kassadin

Q base shield increased, shield AP scaling decreased. E adjusted.

We’re giving Kassadin some quality of life updates to his shield so he can perform better into ranged matchups. We’re also adjusting his E so that you can now cast it whenever you want (as long as it isn’t on cooldown)!

---

Q - Null Sphere

• Shield Strength: 60/90/120/150/180 (+ 40% AP) ⇒ 80/110/140/170/200 (+ 30% AP)
• Shield Spawn Speed: Shield is granted when the Q projectile leave’s Kassadin’s hand ⇒ Shield is granted when Q is cast

---

E - Force Pulse

• Cooldown: 5 seconds ⇒ 21/19/17/15/13 seconds
• removedStacks Be Gone: This spell no longer requires a certain number of stacks in order to be cast
• newSend Your Energy: Ally and enemy spells cast nearby Kassadin reduce E’s cooldown by 1 second

Kayn

Passive Shadow Assassin bonus damage increased. E heal AD ratio increased.

Shadow Assassin Kayn has fallen off over the course of the Durability Update and Preseason. While we were cautious about returning damage to burst characters after the Durability Update, it's been long enough for us to be confident that Shadow Kayn is failing on most fronts to complete his main goal… killing his enemies. We’re returning some damage to his passive and giving him a little more sustainability with some Shadow Step healing.

---

Passive - The Darkin Scythe

• Shadow Assassin Bonus Damage: 8-30% (based on level) ⇒ 13-40% (based on level)

---

E - Shadow Step

• Heal upon entering Terrain: 90/100/110/120/130 (+35% bonus AD) ⇒ 90/100/110/120/130 (+45% bonus AD)

Lillia

Q base damage decreased.

Changing Lillia from a ranged champion to a melee champion last patch greatly increased her synergy with Demonic Embrace, Conqueror’s, and Red Buff which resulted in her gaining a little more power than we expected. We’re pulling some of that power out in a way that should hurt her tankier builds a little more than her AP builds.

---

Q - Blooming Blows

• Magic Damage: 35/50/65/80/95 (+40% AP) ⇒ 40/50/60/70/80 (+40% AP)
• Outer Edge True Damage: 35/50/65/80/95 (+40% AP) ⇒ 40/50/60/70/80 (+40% AP)

Malphite

E base damage increased, armor scaling increased, mana cost no longer increases with rank.

Malphite has had a chip on his shoulder ever since we nerfed his waveclear by taking away his ability to rush Immolate. We’re adding some waveclear power back into his kit in a way that will reward tank builds without over-buffing his AP builds.

---

E - Ground Slam

• Magic Damage: 60/95/130/165/200 (+60% AP) (+30% Armor) ⇒ 70/110/150/190/230 (+60% AP) (+40% Armor)
• Mana Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 ⇒ 50 at all ranks

Maokai

Passive heal increased. Q base damage increased, damage to monsters increased.

Similar to other tanks, Maokai’s been missing Sunfire Aegis and Immolate which increased his ability to effectively clear minions and jungle camps. We’re putting a bit more clear power into his Q to help him find his spot in the jungle and top lane once again.

---

Passive - Sap Magic

• Heal: 4-34 (based on level) + (4-10% maximum health (based on level)) ⇒ 4-34 (based on level) + (4-12% maximum health (based on level))

---

Q - Bramble Smash

• Base Damage: 65/110/155/200/245 (+2/2.25/2.5/2.75/3% of the target’s maximum HP) ⇒ 70/120/170/220/270 (+2/2.25/2.5/2.75/3% of the target’s maximum HP)
• Bonus Damage to Monsters: 80/100/120/140/160 ⇒ 120/140/160/180/200

Mordekaiser

Passive damage cap against monsters decreased, now only procs when hit by large monsters.

Mordekaiser jungle appears to have been a big winner of patch 12.22 thanks to his passive. We’re dialing that passive down a bit by reducing his base damage to monsters and making it specific to large monsters so that it functions similarly in the jungle as it does in the top lane.

---

Passive - Darkness Rise

• Damage Cap against Monsters: 180 ⇒ 28-164 (based on level)
• Passive Proc on Monsters: Generates a stack on all monster hits ⇒ Generates a stack on large monster hits

Shyvana

E damage vs marked enemies decreased.

Shyvana has been blazing through the new jungle thanks to the Preseason changes that made camps healthier and increased the damage output of her E. We’re taking down her maximum percent HP damage so she isn’t quite so oppressive against camps AND all the tanks seeing more play.

---

E - Flame Breath

• Empowered Basic Attacks vs Marked Enemies: 3.5% of target's maximum HP ⇒ 3% of target's maximum HP

Sion

Base mana increased, mana growth increased. Q base damage increased.

Sion, like many other tanks that relied on Immolate for waveclear, is struggling to farm well in Preseason, decreasing his overall power. We’re giving him a bit more mana and Q damage to help him better match his opponent’s waveclear.

---

Base Stats

• Base Mana: 330 ⇒ 400
• Mana Growth: 42 ⇒ 52

---

Q - Decimating Smash

• Base Damage: 30/50/70/90/110 ⇒ 40/60/80/100/120

Syndra

Upgraded W bonus damage decreased, AP scaling increased. E AP ratio decreased, cooldown increased. Q bugfix.

Since her mid-scope update in patch 12.19, Syndra’s been slowly gaining winrate and popularity. While she's meant to be a powerful scaler, Syndra's mid-game waveclear and burst potential let her Transcend a bit too safely. We’re cutting back some of her long-range power with Scatter the Weak and shifting a portion of it into Force of Will. Now Syndra needs to be a bit more close and personal before disintegrating her enemies.

---

W - Force of Will

• Transcendent Upgrade Bonus Damage: 15% (+1.5% per 100 AP) ⇒ 12% ( 2% per 100 AP)

---

E - Scatter the Weak

• Cooldown: 15 seconds ⇒ 17 seconds
• Magic Damage: 75/115/155/195/235 (+55% AP) ⇒ 75/115/155/195/235 (+45% AP)

---

Bugfixes

• Cooldown: Fixed a bug where upgrading Q could reset its cooldown

Tahm Kench

Passive AP damage added. Q AP ratio increased, self heal increased. W AP ratio increased. E gray health increased. R AP scaling increased, shield decay adjusted.

AP Tahm Kench croaked a little when the Preseason changes made it to him, resulting in the Kench being downgraded to the bench. We’re giving him some buffs that should help his tank builds while also doing some followup buffs to his AP builds from a few patches ago.

---

Passive - An Acquired Taste

• On-Hit and On-Q Bonus Magic Damage: 8-60 (based on level) (+ 3% bonus health) ⇒ 8-60 (based on level) (+ 3% bonus health) (+ 2% AP per 100 bonus health)

---

Q - Tongue Lash

• Magic Damage: 80/130/180/230/280 (+ 90% AP) ⇒ 80/130/180/230/280 (+ 100% AP)
• Self Heal: 10/15/20/25/30 (+ 3/3.5/4/4.5/5% missing Health) ⇒ 10/15/20/25/30 (+ 5/5.5/6/6.5/7% missing Health)

---

W - Abyssal Dive

• Magic Damage: 100/135/170/205/240 (+ 125% AP) ⇒ 100/135/170/205/240 (+ 150% AP)

---

E - Thick Skin

• Damage Stored to Gray Health: 13/21/29/37/45% ⇒ 15/23/31/39/47%
• Increased Damage Stored to Gray Health: 40/42.5/45/47.5/50% ⇒ 42/44/46/48/50%

---

R - Devour

• Magic Damage: 100/250/400 (+ 15% (+ 5% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health) ⇒ 100/250/400 (+ 15% (+ 7% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health)
• Shield: Lasts 2.5 seconds after Devour ends ⇒ Decays by 50 health per 0.25 seconds after Devour has ended until gone

Trundle

Base attack speed reduced. R damage decreased.

Trundle benefitted a bit too much from the preseason jungle changes, especially now that tanks are seeing a lot more play. We’re bringing down his clear speed to bring him more in line with other junglers while reducing his R percent health damage so he doesn't completely subjugate tanks.

---

Base Stats

• Base Attack Speed: 0.67 ⇒ 0.60

---

R - Subjugate

• Damage Based on Target’s Maximum Health: 20/27.5/35% (+2% per 100 AP) ⇒ 20/25/30% (+2% per 100 AP)

Yuumi

Passive cooldown increased. R root duration decreased.

Yuumi has simultaneously been one of the most frustrating and most popular/played champs in the game. We think there’s a better place for Yuumi where we can deliver on her gameplay fantasy for her players while also making her less frustrating to play against. In this patch, we’re giving Yuumi a decently sized nerf to temporarily address some of her more frustrating features and curbing her power in both Elite and Pro play. However, we definitely don’t see this as the final, long-term solution for this champion.

We’ve started work on a larger scale Yuumi rework to help this cat land in a much healthier spot. We want to highlight what Yuumi as an attached, untargetable enchanter can provide to her team. As an early goal, we want to limit her aggressive CC outputs/damage, emphasize more defensive/enchanter outputs, reduce her scaling, and make her more dependent on her own lane's success to win games. We’ll have some more news to share on this in the future, but for now we appreciate your patience as we work on Yuumi.

---

Passive - Bop ‘n’ Block

• Cooldown: 14-6 seconds (based on level) ⇒ 18-6 seconds (based on level)

---

R - Final Chapter

• Root Duration: 1.75 seconds ⇒ 1.25 seconds

Zac

Passive healing increased. Q cooldown decreased, health scaling increased.

Zac also made the list of champions that were nerfed now that they aren’t rushing Immolate. In order to add some goop back to this glob, we’re buffing his health scaling a bit to help him synergize better with some of the new Preseason tank items.

---

Passive - Cell Division

• Healing per Chunk: 4/4.75/5.5/6.25% (based on R Rank) maximum HP ⇒ 4/5/6/7% (based on R Rank) maximum HP

---

Q - Stretching Strikes

• Cooldown: 15/13.5/12/10.5/9 seconds ⇒ 14/12.5/11/9.5/8 seconds
• Base Damage: 40/55/70/85/100 (+2.5% of Zac's maximum health) ⇒ 40/55/70/85/100 (+4% of Zac's maximum health)

Zeri

All abilities adjusted.

Zeri's been a turbulent champion over the past year, with an electrifying kit, explosive pentakills… aaand a plethora of balance changes. We're taking one more big swing at our favorite lightning-themed Zaunite to address some issues that set her apart as the best marksman in Pro play this year. Zeri's combination of long range, high move speed, and scaling damage gave her little to no weaknesses in a coordinated environment like Pro play. We're shifting Zeri's playstyle by shortening her range so that she has to get up close and personal to make sparks fly and opponents die. This comes with revamped base stats, a higher damage Burst Fire, and an adjusted Spark Surge. So even though Zeri is being amped up, opponents should now have many more opportunities to catch lightning before it bolts off to safety. SPARKS READY!

---

Base Stats

• Move Speed: 325 ⇒ 330
• Base Attack Damage: 50 ⇒ 53
• Base Armor: 20 ⇒ 24

• Gotta Zip Shield Bonus: 10% multiplicative Move Speed ⇒ 10% Move Speed (Note: this should make the shield stack worse with other Move Speed sources)

• Conversion of Excess Attack Speed to Bonus AD: 60% ⇒ 70%

• Missile Speed: 2200 ⇒ 2500
• Beam Cast Time: 0.75 seconds ⇒ 0.85 seconds

---

E - Spark Surge

• Mana Cost: 80 ⇒ 90/85/80/75/70
• Cooldown: 24/22.5/21/19.5/18 seconds ⇒ 22/21/20/19/18 seconds

• Vision while Sliding on Terrain: 850 units ⇒ 1500 units

---

R - Lightning Crash

• removedShort Circuited: Zeri’s Overcharged attacks no longer deal 5/10/15(+15% AP) Bonus Magic Damage On-Hit
• Chain Lightning Range: 450 ⇒ 650
• On-Cast Magic Damage: 150/250/350 (+80% AP)(+80% bonus AD) ⇒ 175/275/375 (+110% AP)(+100% bonus AD)
• Kerchow: If Zeri’s R hits at least one enemy champion, Zeri gains 10% Move Speed, 30% Attack Speed, and chaining shots for 5 seconds. Hitting champions with Q or auto attacks refresh this buff by 1.5 seconds. (Note: this buff cannot be extended to be longer than its original duration.)
• Boundless Energy: Hitting enemy champions grants Zeri 1 stack (3 stacks for critical strikes) of Overcharge for 1.5 seconds. Zeri gains 0.5% Move Speed for each stack of Overcharge, stacking infinitely.

Jungle Companions

We’re introducing a few adjustments to help jungle companions scale better with tanks, while reducing the amount of gold they give to their owners, as junglers were often significantly ahead in gold compared to laners.

• Companion Attack Damage: 20 (+ 15% AD) (+ 10% AP) (+ 4% bonus health) ⇒ 16 (+ 15% AD) (+ 10% AP) (+ 3% bonus health) (+ 10% bonus Armor) (+ 10% bonus Magic Resist)
• newBigger Companions need More Treats: After their first evolution, jungle companions will consume 2 bonus treats on Large Monster kills and receive the associated benefits
• Bonus Treat Gold: 50 gold ⇒ 35 gold
• removedEpic Monsters are Spooky: The 20% bonus damage provided by companions no longer works on Epic Monsters

Jungle Camps

Making a few follow-up changes to the Preseason jungle adjustments introduced in the last patch.

• Gromp Attack Range: 175 ⇒ 150
• Crimson Raptor Attack Range: 300 ⇒ 200
• Leashing Range: Leash range centers have been offset from Camp spawn location giving more space for champions to move and kite
• Jungle Camp Experience Given Multiplier: 1/1/1.025/1.075/1.15/1.15/1.25/1.25/1.35 (levels 1-9) ⇒ 1/1/1.025/1.075/1.2/1.2/1.3/1.3/1.45 (levels 1-9)

Most of the communication tools that we’ve had in the past cater towards conveying personal intent, the ability to describe what you and you alone plan on doing. We introduced Objective Planning as a way for people to build alignment across the team as a whole.

So far, we've seen that Objective Planning is allowing players to better align around whether or not to take an objective as a team. However, there are some situations in which the vote is showing up too frequently or at irrelevant moments. When it comes to objective planning, we want to make sure that we’re showing relevant information to players that can help them make better decisions at the right time. We want players to be able to communicate their intent clearly, whether it's being ready and prioritizing for objectives or actually using the tool for alignment.

For now, we’re making some changes to have the voting system better match players' intent and will continue to improve this system as we learn more about how all of you are using it!

• Scoreboard Voting Disabled: Clicking on the objective timer will no longer initiate objective votes and will instead just display the timer information in chat
• Vote Timing: Adjusted the earliest time players can start voting for an objective from 90 seconds before an objective spawns to 75 seconds
• Auto Vote Disabled: The vote to contest an objective will no longer automatically begin 30 seconds before an objective spawns

As a special thank you to ARAM players everywhere, we’re going to be hosting our last Clash of the year on Howling Abyss!

Rune Recommender

We want it to be easy to get to the fun of League without having to do a ton of research beforehand. So like we added item recommendations to the shop, we’re also adding a rune recommender in champion select! You can access it by hovering or locking in a champion and clicking the new icon next to the edit rune page button. We have a few more planned additions for this feature and will be keeping an eye on your feedback to improve it over the next few patches!

• Added the Rune Recommender to champion select for all game modes. These recommendations are tailored for your champion, position, and come with optional summoner spell recommendations as well. Like in-game item recommendations, these will be updated each patch.
• All players have a free temporary rune page that the recommender will overwrite in each champion select. To permanently save a recommendation to your collection, you can add it in the post match screen.
• The 5 preset rune pages have been removed.

Pick Order Swapping

Draft strategy is an important part of the game in queues that support drafting, so we want to make it easy for your team to optimize its draft for success. Currently there are a lot of opportunities for things to go wrong for players trying to swap their pick order — you have to communicate in chat with the person you want to swap with, have the champion that the other player wants, and then successfully trade champions before the game starts, all while preparing your rune and summoner loadouts. We’ll be streamlining this process by letting you swap pick order with the press of a button!

• In matchmade queues with drafting, during the declaration, ban, and pick phases, you can now press a button next to ally portraits to swap pick order with them. When there is 5 seconds left in a phase, in-progress order swap requests will be canceled. If your order swap request is declined, you cannot initiate another request with that player.
• Champion swapping during the preparation phase is now initiated by clicking on the allied champion’s portrait instead of a button next to the portrait.
• Miscellaneous champion select font and text changes for consistency.

Champ Select Anonymity

We’ve heard feedback that with the only difference between ally’s names in champion select being the numbers 1 through 5, it can be difficult to tell who’s speaking, particularly when a lot of people are talking at the same time. So now you all get code names!

• Ally 1 -> Ally 5 have been renamed to Gromp, Murk Wolf, Raptor, Krug, and Scuttle Crab for improved clarity around who is speaking in champion select chat.

End of Season Honor rewards including the new Honor level 5 Malzahar skin reward will be granted according to your Honor level at the End of Season.

The ARAM AFK threshold has been changed to 120 seconds from 90 seconds.

Champ Select Favoriting Improvements

Improving usability around favoriting champions so that you can find them faster in champion select. As a reminder, you can right click champions in champion select to favorite them for a specific role!

• In champion select, "Sort by Favorites" is the default sorting option. Note: The fallback option is "Sort by Name" so a player who does not have any favorites selected will still have the same experience.
• A player's selection for "Sort by" preference is saved between champion selects.

CHEMTECH DRAKE

Chemtech Drake is BACK and better than ever! Our goal with the new-and-improved drake is to encourage calculated, aggressive plays and incentivize players to fight to the end to gain the edge over their opponents. Go big or go home!

• Chemtech Drake: When the Chemtech Drake is below half health it gains 33% damage resistance and deals 50% more damage. This drake will deal 100% total AD + 4% of its target’s health as physical damage with each attack.
• Chemtech Buff: When your team kills a Chemtech Drake they will gain a stacking buff that grants 5% Tenacity and 5% Healing and Shielding power
• Chemtech Soul: Upon receiving the Chemtech Soul, players will receive a buff that gives them 10% damage resistance and 10% more damage while below 50% health

CHEMTECH RIFT

Alongside the new drake is the new Chemtech Rift! The Chemtech gas we introduced to the Rift in last year’s preseason was a bit too toxic for a good gameplay experience, so we opted to take a more measured approach this year. Now, instead of sitting on the surface, the Zaunite chemicals have seeped their way into the Rift, mutating the environment and enhancing each of the jungle plants with different effects.

• Stim Fruits: Honeyfruits will upgrade into Stim Fruits and provide the usual heal plus a bonus shield in addition to no longer slowing champions that consume it
• Blast Cones: Blast Cones will now blast units within their range twice as far when they explode
• Firelight Bloom: Scryer’s Bloom will upgrade into Firelight’s Bloom which will reveal a small area around the plant when broken in addition to the usual cone in the opposite direction it was broken from. Allies tagged will also gain movement speed towards that direction for a short duration, and enemy wards revealed will be taken to 1 health.

JUNGLE CAMP CHANGES

We’ve got a lot of jungle changes to unpack here, so let’s jump right into it!

One of the biggest changes you’ll notice is that all the camps got their own little Durability Update. Our goals with this update are to make it more of an investment for laners to take jungle camps (especially in the early game), keeping fast clear speeds fast while making slow clearers slightly less slow by shifting jungle dps into companions, and shifting some gold and experience from the jungle itself into the new jungle items. On the other hand, we actually made Krugs a less durable camp by removing the 2 Krugs that spawned from the Ancient Krug which should make the camp less of a time sink and allow for more interesting early game jungle pathing.

We've also made quite a few adjustments to reduce how effectively both laners and enemy junglers can poach camps. The Own-Side clearing strength changes are meant to speed up how fast junglers clear their own jungle while increasing the opportunity cost of invading. This Own-Side Clearing Strength change will also help tone down very early invades and vertical jungling which, while interesting and powerful, is currently too reliant on your team's ability to play around you and maintain early lane pressure. In addition, the new Marked for Death change should make getting counter jungled a bit less punishing as well. To be clear, we absolutely do want counter jungling in the game and believe it should be an effective strategy for junglers. However, the current state of counter jungling is far too strong and punishing, making it an incredibly miserable experience for those being invaded which isn’t ideal for the role.

And now a paragraph just for our favorite Rift Scuttlers. Scuttle has two key issues we’re trying to correct: breaking its shield was a miserable experience for junglers unable to do so and champion viability in the jungle was dependent on whether or not your champion could reach Scuttle by 3:15. While we completely removed the former, we shifted the spawn time for Scuttle to 3:30 to help slower junglers take their time clearing while faster ones can get in a sweet pre-Scuttle gank now.

Last big change to discuss is sustain in the jungle. We’re taking the healing power out of Smite and Gromp and spreading it across the jungle with the jungle companions. When the % health on-hit damage from some camps is factored in, this should result in a jungle where only a few champions finish their clear with low health, most champions have a decent amount of health to work with, and sustain oriented champions leave very healthy. After all, if every champion could heal like Warwick, there wouldn’t be much value in Warwick’s innate sustain.

CAMP MECHANIC CHANGES

• newMarked for Death: When a large monster dies, all small monsters in their camp will be marked for death. After 10 consecutive seconds of not being in combat with a champion, monsters that have been marked for death will die.
• newOwn-Side Clearing Strength: Junglers now deal 20% more damage from non-true damage sources to monsters on their own side of the jungle. This increased damage will not apply when invading and dealing damage to the enemy’s camps.
• newParting Gifts: All large monsters will now heal [27+3/level (increased by up to 2.25x based on missing health) health and restore 15+2/level (increased by up to 2.25x based on missing mana) mana upon takedown if you have a jungle companion. This heal/mana restoration will take the form of a projectile that will be fired towards the champion that last-hit the monster after a 0.3 second delay.

CAMP GOLD AND EXPERIENCE CHANGES

• Lane Minion Experience: Junglers will only gain 75% experience from lane minions before their first pet evolution unless the jungler is behind the average game level
• Large Monster Gold: All large monster gold given to non-junglers has been reduced by 15 gold
• Large Monster Experience for Non-Junglers: All large monster experience given to non-junglers has been reduced by 15 experience except for the Ancient Krug which has been reduced by 12 experience
• Large Monster Experience for Junglers: All large monsters now give an additional 15 experience if you have a jungle companion

JUNGLE COMPANIONS

It’s dangerous to go into the jungle alone, so take one of these jungle companions! Traditional jungle items will now be replaced by adorable, feisty, and all-around wholesome companions. If you bring Smite, you'll have the option to purchase Mosstomper, Scorchclaw, or Gustwalker in egg form at the beginning of the game. They’ll grow and evolve as you progress in the game by getting stacks from monster and champion takedowns, so make sure to give them lots of treats/stacks and love. In an effort to conserve the Rift ecosystem, we strongly recommend that our furry and scaly friends (and Smite) be kept in the jungle.

Companion Attacks

• Companions will deal 20(+4% bonus HP)(+15% AP)(+10% AD) and will attack at a rate of 1 attack per second. After their owner has stopped attacking, they will attack two more times and then stop.
• Companions will heal their owner for 70% of the above number every time they attack
• Damaging a camp from a distance will cause companions to leap attack toward the camp, dealing the same amount of damage

Companion Mana Regeneration

• Companions will provide their owners with an increase to mana regeneration equal to [(8*percent missing mana) + (8*percent missing mana)*(level/1.3)*0.1] while in the jungle (including your jungle, the enemy jungle, and the river)

Companion Progression

Jungle companions will evolve twice throughout the game by acquiring treats via the following methods:

• 1 treat per large monster/champion takedown
• 1 bonus treat is stored every 60 seconds before reaching the companion’s final evolution form
• 1 bonus treat is stored every 90 seconds after reaching the companion’s final evolution form
• When a large monster is killed with bonus treats available, players will receive 2 treats and 50 bonus gold. 1 bonus treat stack will also be removed.

---

COMPANION EVOLUTIONS

As jungle companions evolve, they will receive the following bonuses at each evolution:

First Evolution

• Smite damage will be increased to 900 true damage against monsters
• Smite is now castable on enemy champions, dealing 80-160 (based on level) true damage and slowing the target by 20% for 2 seconds
• The jungle item will remain in your inventory
• Companion will visually evolve
• Smite’s icon will upgrade

Final Evolution

• Smite damage will be increased to 1200 against monsters and will do 50% of its damage as AoE damage against nearby monsters
• Players will become empowered and receive buffs depending on their chosen companion
• The jungle item will be removed from your inventory
• Companion will visually evolve
• Smite’s icon will upgrade

---

Mosstomper

• Mosstomper’s Courage: Gain a 75-330 (based on level) health shield after killing a monster camp or after 10 seconds out of combat. This shield will remain indefinitely. Players will gain 20% Tenacity and slow resist while the shield is present and for 3 seconds after it has been broken.
• Protection Buff: Take 30% reduced damage from monsters while at least 2 allies are within 1300 units

---

Scorchclaw

• Scorchclaw’s Slash: Scorchclaw will accumulate Ember stacks at a rate of 3 stacks per 0.5 seconds or 100 stacks upon killing a large monster. At 100 Ember stacks, your next instance of damage against an enemy champion will slow all enemies in a 250 unit radius by 30% (decaying over 2 seconds) and deal burn damage equal to 5% of the target's maximum health in true damage over 4 seconds to the primary target.
• Protection Buff: Take 30% reduced damage from monsters while at least 2 allies are within 1300 units

---

Gustwalker

• Gustwalker’s Gait: Gain 45% bonus move speed when entering a brush that decays over 2 seconds after leaving the brush. This is increased to 60% for 2 seconds after killing a large monster.
• Protection Buff: Take 30% reduced damage from monsters while at least 2 allies are within 1300 units

LEASHING RANGE UPDATES AND INDICATORS

In an effort to make the jungle more welcoming to players unfamiliar with the role, we’ll be adding visual leashing indicators that will show how far camps can be pulled before their patience starts diminishing. We’re also decreasing the distance camps can be pulled, so no more having to stand on the perfect pixel to clear two camps at once in order to hyper-optimize your clears.

• new Soft Resets: After losing all patience, instead of fully resetting, the monster will ‘soft reset’ for 6 seconds. While soft resetting, the monster will path towards its camp center, regenerate 6% of its max health per second, and will ignore attackers outside of its leash range. Attacking a monster while the attacker is within its leash range will end the soft reset and restore some patience. After these 6 seconds have passed without the monster being attacked, the monster will ‘hard reset’ and ignore all attackers, rapidly heal, and return to its original position.
• newSoft vs Hard Reset Speed: Monsters will move more slowly while soft resetting, and faster once they hard reset
• newPatience is Key: Monsters will not lose patience for 1.5 seconds after being attacked by a champion within the leash radius
• new Patience Regeneration: Camps will now begin to regenerate lost patience after 2 seconds of being back within their leash range
• Small Monster Patience: Small Monsters will match the patience of their respective large monster as long as it is alive and within 700 range
• Blue Sentinel: 1000 ⇒ 650
• Gromp: 700 ⇒ 450
• Krugs: 900 ⇒ 650
• Murk Wolves: 800 ⇒ 650
• Raptors: 800 ⇒ 650
• Red Brambleback: 1000 ⇒ 650
• Rift Herald: 1200 ⇒ 1100

RECOMMENDED PATHING

Starting off your first clear on the wrong foot can be quite punishing for junglers, especially when the opponent knows exactly how to optimize their clear straight into their first gank. In order to make this first clear less punishing for newer or off-role junglers, we’re adding first clear pathing recommendations. These recommendations will be shown on your minimap and above camps visually, indicating the recommended order of your first clear. These first clear paths were determined by gathering data from high-skilled junglers on their high mastery champs across the globe. Pathing recommendations are based on win percentage and will be updated each patch.

It’s worth noting that your first clear order will always be situational depending on team comps and lane/jungle matchups. This is not meant to replace the skills and knowledge needed to have an optimal first clear, but more so intended to help those less familiar with the role.

EXPANDED TACTICAL WHEEL

League is a team game at its core. In order to better facilitate communication between teammates, we’re doubling the number of pings available to players. The 8 pings on the wheel will now be as follows:

• Returning Pings (clockwise): Retreat (formerly Danger), On My Way, Assist Me, Enemy Missing
• New Pings (clockwise): Push, All-In, Hold, Bait

VISION WHEEL

We’re also adding an entirely new ping wheel that focuses primarily on vision. Using this wheel, you can now indicate the following:

• (from left to right) Vision Cleared, Enemy Vision, Need Vision
• Extra Feature: The Need Vision ping will leave a small persistent indicator for a minute, or until a ward is placed nearby. You may only have one of these indicators active at any given time. Pinging again will replace your previous one.

OTHER PINGS

The Caution ping, which exists outside of the ping wheel system, is staying the same, with some updated visuals.

• Returning Pings: Caution

OBJECTIVE PLANNING

Getting your team on board with taking an objective can be difficult, and having everyone ping simultaneously can get very confusing very quickly. We’re introducing a new voting function that will appear when objectives are pinged that works similarly to a surrender vote. Now all players can vote and indicate whether or not they’d like to take or contest that objective. The jungler’s vote will be counted as 2 votes and a total of 4 votes for or against will be considered aligned. Our hope is that this helps teams better plan around global objectives together because sometimes the team call is better than the right call.

ALLIED WARD TRACKING

While there are currently ways to see how many wards you have out on the map, there isn’t a quick way to check which wards are closest to expiring. We’re introducing new ward visuals on the minimap that will indicate when wards are close to expiring. Allied ward minimap icons will now change appearance when they reach a third of their remaining duration.

ENEMY WARD TIMERS

It can be hard to keep track of every single ward that gets placed on the map and even harder to successfully communicate that information to your teammates. Now, if you use a vision ping near an enemy ward that you've seen within the last 10 seconds—or just attack it—a perfectly accurate ward timer that is always visible to all teammates will appear until the ward is removed or expires.

SUGGESTED ABILITY LEVEL UPS

In a continuous effort to make League of Legends more welcoming to newer players, we are adding in-game ability level-up recommendations. These visual indicators will appear once you level up and highlight which ability is typically leveled by players at each level. This information will be updated with each patch so that you’re all getting the latest and greatest information.

LANE GOLD AND EXPERIENCE CHANGES

We’ll also be making some adjustments to help top laners scale better relative to other lanes, and hit those key item and level breakpoints faster relative to mid and bot. TL;DR: Mid and top are getting a bit more XP, bot duo is getting a bit less, and mid is getting a bit less gold.

• Mid Lane Gold Changes: All minions spawned in the mid lane will now be worth 1 less gold before 14 minutes when last hit (previously, only cannon minions were worth less gold, but were worth 10 less gold)
• Minion Experience: Minions now grant 2.15% more experience to solo champions. Minion experience when shared between multiple champions is unchanged.

When we introduced Mythic items in the item update, we designed them to be first item purchases that defined the playstyle of your build. As we’ve seen all of you test hundreds of thousands of build variations, we’ve revisited our Mythic item philosophy and now believe that these items don't always have to be first item rushes. Sometimes a Legendary item better fits the item profile a champion is looking for, and given the wide breadth of champion playstyles in the game we believe there's no need to be overly restrictive.

With the relaxed restriction on Mythic items as a first purchase, we are revamping tank Mythics without the presence of Immolate, allowing them to focus less on damage/farming and more on enabling the core tank fantasies of having tons of durability or crowd control (or both)!

To this end we'll be introducing three new Mythic tank items, as well as reworking Frostfire Gauntlet back to its former frosty glory: Iceborn Gauntlet. Turbo Chemtank and Sunfire Cape will be moving to the Legendary item space and have their effects simplified. Finally, we'll be making some smaller changes to a few other tank items to ensure they have the tools they need in this new world, including the return of an old friend for mages and tanks alike. Without further ado, let’s dive into the items!

Abyssal Mask

Abyssal Mask is a niche item that has struggled to find its way into builds. Returning Catalyst and its Eternity passive should make it a solid option for those looking for a combination of magic resist, mana, and health.

• Gold Cost: 2700 ⇒ 3000
• Health: 450 ⇒ 500
• Mana: 0 ⇒ 300
• Magic Resist: 35 ⇒ 40

• Passive - Unmake: Curse nearby enemy champions, reducing their magic resist by 5 + 1.2% bonus health (max 25). For each Cursed enemy, gain 9 magic resist.

Randuin’s Omen

Randuin's critical damage reduction being tied to the active has led to a less satisfying and less reliable version of the item. We're returning the reduction to its passive, the active to its longer slow, all while retaining the new Rock Solid passive.

• Gold Cost: 2700 ⇒ 3000
• Health: 250 ⇒ 400
• Armor: 90 ⇒ 60
• Ability Haste: 10 ⇒ 0
• Build Path: Warden's Mail + Cloth Armor + Ruby Crystal ⇒ Warden's Mail + Giant's Belt

• newPassive - Critical Resistance: Critical strikes deal 20% less damage to you
• Passive - Rock Solid: Reduce incoming damage from attacks by up to 5 +0.35%, capped at 40% of attack's damage

Sunfire Aegis

While it's no longer a mythic item, Sunfire is still your go-to option for waveclear and sustained damage as a tank.

• Item Tier: Mythic ⇒ Legendary
• Gold Cost: 3200 ⇒ 2800
• Health: 450 ⇒ 400
• Armor: 35 ⇒ 50
• Magic Resistance: 35 ⇒ 0
• Ability Haste: 20 ⇒ 0
• Build Path: Bami’s Cinder + Aegis of the Legion ⇒ Bami's Cinder + Chain Vest
• removedUnique Passive - Flametouch: Flametouch has been removed
• Passive - Immolate: Immolate damage is no longer increased by 150% against monsters

Turbo Chemtank

Rather than a jungle specific rush item, Chemtank should now be a possible mid-to-late game option for any tank looking for an extra bit of engage potential.

• Item Tier: Mythic ⇒ Legendary
• Gold Cost: 3200 ⇒ 2800
• Health: 450 ⇒ 500
• Magic Resist: 25 ⇒ 50
• Armor: 25 ⇒ 0
• Ability Haste: 20 ⇒ 10
• Build Path: Bami’s Cinder + Cloth Armor + Null Magic Mantle ⇒ Kindlegem + Negatron Cloak + Ruby Crystal
• removedPassive - Refuel: Refuel passive has been removed

Aegis of the Legion

Just a small gold adjustment for Aegis.

• Gold Cost: 1400 ⇒ 1200

Ravenous Hydra

Great for AD melee champions looking to carry their teams with damage.

• Attack Damage: 70 ⇒ 65
• Unique Passive - Cleave: 60-12% total AD (based on distance) ⇒ 60% of total AD for melee champions and 30% of total AD for ranged champions to all enemies around them
• newUnique Passive - Carnivorous: Gain 0.6 AD and 0.1% Omnivamp on minion kills, increased to twice that amount for champions, large/epic monsters, and siege minions. Stacks up to 24 AD and 4% Omnivamp. Lose half of these stacks on death.

Tiamat

Updating Cleave’s damage to be more in line with the new Ravenous Hydra.

• Unique Passive - Cleave: 60-12% total AD (based on distance) ⇒ 50% of total AD for melee champions and 25% of total AD for ranged champions to all enemies around them

Spear of Shojin

Shojin is back! Become the AD caster you’ve always wanted to be.

• Gold Cost: 3400
• Attack Damage: 65
• Health: 300
• Ability Haste: 20

• Build Path: B.F. Sword + Kindlegem + Caulfield’s Warhammer

Navori Quickblades

Navori’s was a bit too niche of an item in its previous form resulting in it often being skipped over. We’re adjusting it so that it competes with Infinity Edge as a build defining item, trading DPS for stronger spells and lower cooldowns. (Note: this item cannot be built with Guinsoo’s Rageblade or Infinity Edge)

• Ability Haste: 30 ⇒ 20
• newUnique Passive - Transcendance: If you have at least 60% Critical Strike Chance, your Attacks reduce your non-Ultimate Ability cooldowns by 15% of their remaining cooldown.
• newUnique Passive - Impermanence: Your abilities deal up to 20% increased damage based on critical strike chance

Cho'Gath

R damage increased.

With the increased damage coming to Smite this patch we’re buffing up Cho’Gath’s Feast execute damage in order to keep it competitive with Smite—don’t let Cho near your Barons!

---

R - Feast

• Damage to Non-Champions: 1000 (+50% AP)(+10% Bonus HP) ⇒ 1200(+50% AP)(+10% Bonus HP)

Lillia

Changed from ranged to melee. Base health decreased. Health growth increased. Passive healing vs champions increased.

Changing Lillia to a melee champion to be more intuitive with how she attacks. We expect this to be a slight buff to her, so we’re preemptively nerfing her passive.

---

Base Stats

• Attacks: Ranged ⇒ Melee
• Base Health: 625 ⇒ 605
• Health Growth: 104 ⇒ 105

---

Passive - Dream-Laden Bough

• Healing vs Champions: 10.5-124.5 (based on level)(+18% AP) (Note: linear scaling) ⇒ 6-120 (based on level)(+18% AP) (Note: now uses stat growth multiplier)

Nunu & Willump

Q damage to non-champions increased.

In a similar change to Cho’Gath, our goal is to keep Nunu & Willump’s Consume damage competitive with Smite so we’re upping its damage!

---

Q - Consume

• True Damage to Non-Champions: 340/500/660/820/980 ⇒ 400/600/800/1000/1200

Rakan

Changed from ranged to melee.

Changing Rakan to a melee champion so that his attacks are more in line with player expectations.

---

Base Stats

• Attacks: Ranged ⇒ Melee

Smite

Updating Smite’s damage to correspond to the amount of stacks your jungle companion has accumulated throughout the game.

• Smite Damage: 450 (Base)/900 (Challenging/Chilling Smite) ⇒ 600/900/1200 (0/20/40 companion stacks)
• updatedNew Smites New Names: Smite/Challenging Smite/Chilling Smite ⇒ Smite/Unleashed Smite/Primal Smite

Turret Plating

• Gold Given per Plate: 160 ⇒ 175
• Armor and MR per Turret Plate: 35 ⇒ 40

In case you haven’t seen it yet, we’re updating our ARAM balance philosophy and will begin in patch 12.22 with some champion specific changes (read more about it in our full post here). This initial patch is expected to be a little rockier on the balance side while we gather data on some new buffs and nerfs we’re trying on specific champions. The end goal is to reduce our reliance on the damage taken/received modifiers, as several champions quickly lose counterplay when their damage is pushed too far. We want champions on ARAM to get to live their fantasy as much as we can allow, so we’re hoping to pull back on the damage in favor of making some champions more forgiving.

CHAMPION BUFFS

• Akali: +20% Tenacity, +20% Energy Regeneration
• Ekko: +20% Tenacity
• Elise: +20% Tenacity
• Evelynn: +20% Tenacity
• Fizz: +20% Tenacity
• Kassadin: +20% Tenacity
• Katarina: +20% Tenacity
• Kayn: +20% Tenacity
• Kennen: +20% Energy Regeneration

• Rengar: +20% Tenacity
• Talon: +20% Tenacity
• Zed: +20% Tenacity, +20% Energy Regeneration

---

CHAMPION NERFS

• Ashe: -20 Ability Haste

We’re updating some champion base stats to make their numbers a bit more clean.

• Base AD, Base HP, Base Mana, Base MR, Mana Growth: Rounded to the nearest 1
• AD Growth, Base Mana Regeneration, Mana Regeneration Growth: Rounded to the nearest 0.05
• Attack Speed Growth: Rounded to the nearest 0.005

The long-awaited upgrade to League’s text evaluation service we discussed earlier this year is being released with this patch! For a long time we've recognized disruptive chat in League of Legends, but haven't been able to target it as effectively as we wanted to because of the challenge of separating disruptive chat from well-meaning chat, especially chat which is marginally disruptive. With our new systems, we can more effectively identify the nuance between more egregious chat and less-severe, but still inappropriate, chat.

With these improvements, we are expecting an increase of disruptive chat detections of over 20x. As a result of the significant increase in detections and penalties, we will be carefully monitoring these new systems to ensure their accuracy.

• Penalty ladders will be upgraded accordingly to match the new severity tiers we can detect
• Players who are chat restricted will no longer be able to send any messages to other players in game (DMs will still be available)

When adding party members using the ‘+’ button, recently honored and matched players are included

AFK SURRENDER TIME UPDATES

Currently if a player is AFK after the time the remake window passes, you need to wait until 10 minutes before your team is allowed to call for a unanimous early surrender. In line with our previous updates to the remake system, we want to give teams the agency to end the game when competitive integrity has been impacted.

• No More Dead Zone: Teams have the option to call a unanimous early surrender vote if an AFK player is detected on their team between 10:00 and 15:00 ⇒ 3:30 and 15:00

---

CHAMP SELECT ANONYMITY

As we discussed in this article, we think the best version of League is not one where you metagame based on the players in your lobby. We also want to avoid using someone else’s win or loss streak/playing a different champion to force a dodge (or pressure others to dodge) when your setup doesn’t meet the perfect conditions.

• Allies are Friends: In Ranked Solo/Duo champion select, all summoner names that aren’t yours or your duo partner’s will be replaced by Ally 1 through 5.

---

GAME REMAKE UPDATES

Whether someone is or isn’t connected to the game or pressing buttons on their mouse and keyboard, if they’re doing nothing but standing in the fountain then they aren’t playing the game. At the end of the day, this is what we want to protect against with the remake system.

• Fountain Check: Before 3 minutes, if a player is in the fountain for 90 continuous seconds, their team is able to initiate a remake. At 45 seconds, a player will receive a chat message telling them they need to leave the fountain. At 70 seconds, they will receive a pop up message telling them they need to leave the fountain.

Eternals Series 2 is finally here! The new series includes three new unique Eternals for each champion. Similar to the previous series, Series 2 can be unlocked individually or as the pass for all current and future champions.

With Series 2 comes a few additional changes. Players can gain a third chevron for their Mastery emotes once they pass 15 total Series 2 Milestones for that champion. Milestone requirements for all Series (including Starter Series and Series 1) have also been adjusted so that you can reach “Personal Best” scores even faster!

See our “Eternals Series 2 Launch” FAQ for additional details when it goes live on November 16.

11/8/2022 MID-PATCH UPDATE

K’Sante

11/2/2022 MID-PATCH UPDATE

Heimerdinger

Syndra

K'Sante "The Pride of Nazumah" will be available November 3, 2022.

Empyrean K'Sante, Empyrean Pyke, Empyrean Jax, Empyrean Jhin, Empyrean Lux, Empyrean Vex, Empyrean Zac, Empyrean Zed, and Prestige Empyrean K'Sante will be available November 3, 2022.

K'Sante

The Pride of Nazumah

Hear his name and know his strength on November 3.

• K’Sante Abilities Rundown
• K’Sante Champion Bio
• K’Sante Champion Trailer
• K’Sante Champion Insights

Ahri

Q mana cost decreased, AP ratio increased.

Ahri's Charm nerf back in patch 12.17 left her a little on the weak side, so instead of making her MORE charming again, we're opting to increase her damage output over CC potential.

---

Q - Orb of Deception

• Mana Cost: 60/70/80/90/100 ⇒ 55/65/75/85/95
• Damage per Pass Through: 40/65/90/115/140 (+40% AP) ⇒ 40/65/90/115/140 (+45% AP)

Bel’Veth

E cooldown increased. Void Remora health decreased.

Bel'Veth has been the empress of the jungle recently, which last we checked wasn't canon. We’re adding more downtime to her E so it’s not always up (especially if she's been using it to farm), while also reducing her ability to snowball leads quite so effectively with all her cute lil baby remoras.

---

E - Royal Maelstrom

• Cooldown: 22/20.5/19/17.5/16 ⇒ 24/22.5/21/19.5/18

---

R - Endless Banquet

• Void Remora Health: 50/60/70% ⇒ 40/50/60% of minion’s maximum health

Blitzcrank

Base health decreased, base armor decreased. W attack speed decreased.

Blitzcrank's jungle buffs have continued to make him a potent threat to his opponent, only in the wrong position... We're tuning down his support strength which has been a bit overwhelming due to his jungle oriented buffs in the last two patches.

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 653 ⇒ 633
• Base Magic Resist: 32 ⇒ 28

---

W - Overdrive

• Bonus Attack Speed: 40/53/66/79/92% ⇒ 30/43/56/69/82%

Corki

Health growth increased, AD growth increased.

Corki's been flying low for a while now so we're buffing his shorter-range builds by giving him some more durability and higher Sheen synergy.

---

Base Stats

• Health Growth: 101 ⇒ 105
• Attack Damage Growth: 2.5 ⇒ 2.8

Malzahar

E can now execute minions.

In the early game Malzahar relies on his Malefic Visions to help last-hit, however, due to its slow tick-rate and low damage it sometimes feels uncertain whether or not you’ll actually get the last hit. We’re adding a small assistance mechanic to help him and will monitor its success to see if other similar champions can benefit from the same changes.

---

E - Malefic Visions

• newKill Confirmed: Malefic Visions will now execute minions below 15 - 45 health (levels 1-11)

Miss Fortune

E AP ratio increased, initial slow decreased, slow AP ratio increased. R AP ratio increased.

Miss Fortune is still ruling the high seas and bot lane with her Q adjustments in 12.17. We're dropping her Make It Rain slow so her early game is a bit less dominant. AP Miss Fortune was also hurt as collateral damage, so we're giving a little love tap to these ARAM off-meta builds.

---

E - Make It Rain

• Magic Damage: 70/100/130/160/190 (+100% AP) ⇒ 70/100/130/160/190 (+120% AP)
• Slow: 50% (+4% per 100 AP) ⇒ 40% (+6% per 100 AP)

---

R - Bullet Time

• Damage per Wave: 75% AD + 20% AP ⇒ 75% AD + 25% AP

Ornn

R updated.

Sometimes there are bugs that end up becoming features. Ornn's ultimate has been inflicting a 60% slow for some time now and we've decided to make this feature official as of this patch. ...Woops. (Note: this will result in no change compared to the live patch.)

---

R - Call of the Forge God

• Maximum Slow: 40/50/60% ⇒ 60% at all ranks

Xin Zhao

Passive third hit bonus damage AD ratio increased, heal AP ratio increased. E cooldown decreased.

Xin Zhao is still finding his footing in a meta where he struggles to do much after laning phase when everyone is walking around being more durable and whatnot. We're giving him a little more strength for when he's able to stick to opponents as the game progresses.

---

Passive - Determination

• Third Hit Bonus Damage: 15/25/35/45% AD ⇒ 15/30/45/60% AD
• Heal: 6-74 (based on level) (+10% AD) (+55% AP) ⇒ 6-74 (based on level) (+10% AD) (+65% AP)

---

E - Audacious Charge

• Cooldown: 12 seconds ⇒ 11 seconds

Game Remake Updates

We’re shortening the remake timer so that you’re able to remake a match when someone’s absence would start affecting the match’s competitive integrity—if they’ve been gone from the start of the game. This patch isn’t significantly modifying the underlying systems and additional work is planned to make remake functionality more resilient. For a more comprehensive explanation of the feature, see this player support Remake FAQ.

• Remake is available at 3:00 minutes ⇒ Remake will be available between 1:30 and 3:00 minutes
• At 3:00, the impacted team has 60 seconds to start a vote by typing “/remake” in chat ⇒ If the remake conditions are met between game start and 3:00 minutes, teams will have from 1:30 to 3:00 to start a remake vote by typing “/remake”. You'll always have a minimum of 30 seconds to type /remake from the conditions being met, so if the conditions are met at 2:59, you’ll have until 3:29 to start a vote.
• Remake is now available in ARAM & Rotating Game Modes with the same updated rules

A new batch of Event Missions has arrived! Continue to make progress on your Event Pass with the Empyrean narrative missions which will be available to all players. We’ve also made an adjustment to these missions and added an additional 440 XP to each mission bringing the total up to 8,300 XP (previously 3,900).

With all three mission chains released (Spirit Blossom, Tales from the Rift, and Empyrean), players can also complete the Worlds Tour 2022 mission for an additional 500 XP.

• Fixed a bug where champion clones would not receive increased damage from consecutive turret shots
• Fixed a bug where Syndra’s E would not do damage to Epic Monsters other than Rift Herald
• Fixed a bug where Syndra’s E could damage Gwen inside of her own W
• Fixed a bug where Viego, in Syndra form, would not release units picked up with her W after stopping possession of Syndra
• Fixed a bug where Nilah’s Q passive shield duration did not match the ability tooltip
• Fixed a bug where Mordekaiser’s E VFX would sometimes play twice per cast
• Fixed a bug where Yuumi’s W adaptive force buff would disappear on allies affected by specific debuffs
• Fixed a bug where enemies hit by Rakan’s R + W combo would be able to use items and abilities while airborne
• Fixed a bug where Darius’ R would sometimes not reset its cooldown if a target died a moment before taking damage
• Removed the “Show Enemy Information Tooltips” option from the game (note: we removed this functionality years ago, but are finally turning off the option, which, did nothing)

The following skins will be released in this patch:

The following chromas will be released this patch:

Bewitching Batnivia, Bewitching Cassiopeia, Bewitching LeBlanc, Bewitching Neeko, and Bewitching Senna will be available October 20, 2022.

Aatrox

Passive heal decreased.

Aatrox's Passive not only gives him tons of damage, but also tons of healing when Lethality amplifies his percent max health damage. While the Eclipse nerfs last patch did weaken him a little, he's still too powerful when picking up Eclipse and Goredrinker. We're taking his healing down a notch so that he'll need to rely more on landing skillshots to sustain himself.

---

Passive - Deathbringer Stance

• Heal: 100% of post-mitigation damage ⇒ 80% of post-mitigation damage

Akshan

E duration increased.

Haven’t you always wanted to swing around a tower forever? Well now you can. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

---

E - Heroic Swing

• Swing Duration: 3 seconds ⇒ infinite

---

Bugfixes

• Fixed some bugs that would cause Akshan to spin in place when using his E in certain locations. We’re still hammering out all of these locations, but this should be a noticeable improvement.

Blitzcrank

Base AD decreased, base attack speed decreased. Passive shield adjusted. W damage to monsters increased. E damage to champions decreased.

Last patches changes succeeded in getting players to give jungle Blitzcrank a try. Unfortunately, it's still not as strong as we'd like it to be. On the other hand, the changes unintentionally supercharged his strength as a support. We're tweaking his numbers in a way that should nerf his support strength and increase his jungle power.

---

Base Stats

• Base AD: 62 ⇒ 60
• Base Attack Speed: 0.65 ⇒ 0.625

---

Passive - Mana Barrier

• Shield Amount: 30% of maximum mana ⇒ 15-45% of maximum mana (levels 1-18)

---

W - Overdrive

• Damage to Monsters: 60-180 (levels 1-18) ⇒ 60-220 (levels 1-18) (note: no longer scales linearly, scaling is as follows: 60/80/100/120/140/160/165/170/175/180/185/190/195/200/205/210/215/220)

---

E - Power Fist

• Empowered Auto Attack Damage against Champions: 200% total AD (+ 25% AP) ⇒ 175% total AD (+ 25% AP)
• Damage to Non-Champions: unchanged
• newTo the Moon: Blitzcrank now has a chance to uppercut monsters to the moon when overkilling them

Elise

Human form Q range adjusted.

Elise's Q range is currently slightly shorter than her auto attack range which leads to an awkward half step when she Q-autos enemies. This range adjustment should make her combos feel much smoother and, even though the number went down, this should result in a slight range increase, especially against larger enemies.

---

Q - Neurotoxin

• Cast Range: 625 ⇒ 575
• Range Detection: Edge of Elise to center of target’s hitbox ⇒ center of Elise to edge of target’s hitbox

Evelynn

Q bonus damage to marked targets increased. W charm duration increased.

Evelynn's been feeling invisible compared to her fellow AP assassins, so we're giving her some more burst power in her higher counterplay abilities so she can take her enemy's breath away... permanently. Or at least until they respawn.

---

Q - Hate Spike

• Bonus Magic Damage to Marked Targets: 10/20/30/40/50 (+25% AP) ⇒ 15/25/35/45/55 (+25% AP)

---

W - Allure

• Charm Duration: 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 seconds ⇒ 1.25/1.5/1.75/2/2.25 seconds

Gwen

Q base damage increased.

Gwen hasn't been scary in quite a while as she currently needs to get into late game to start gaining an edge over her opponents. We're sharpening her mid-game power a tad to help her better compete with other, similar fighters.

---

Q - Snip Snip!

• Damage per Snip: 10/14/18/22/26 (+5% AP) ⇒ 10/15/20/25/30 (+5% AP)
• Final Snip Damage: 60/80/100/120/140 (+35% AP) ⇒ 60/85/110/135/160 (+35% AP)

Jayce

W mana restoration increased. R bonus magic resist and armor now scales with bonus attack damage.

As a late game Jayce, it can be a little scary to swap to your hammer and jump straight into the enemy team. We're giving him some small buffs to his durability in the late game and giving him some more tools to play with in his hammer form.

---

W - Lightning Field

• Mana Restoration: 6/8/10/12/14/16 ⇒ 10/12/14/16/18/20

---

R - Transform Mercury Hammer

• Bonus Armor and Magic Resist: 5/15/25/35 ⇒ 5/15/25/35 (+ 7.5% bonus AD)

Kennen

E bonus attack speed adjusted.

Ninjas don’t have limits and neither should Kennen.

---

E - Lightning Rush

• newShadow Shuriken Jutsu: After ending his E, Kennen’s bonus attack speed buff will now allow him to surpass the 2.5x attack speed limit

Maokai

Passive healing based on maximum health decreased. R cooldown increased late.

Maokai's update has led to him taking root across several roles, but his roots run deepest (and strongest) in the top lane. We're trimming down his sustain in the mid-to-late game and upping his ultimate cooldown to hedge his strength.

---

Passive - Sap Magic

• Healing Based on Maximum Health: + 4.5% - 12% (based on level) maximum health ⇒ + 4% - 10% (based on level) maximum health (note: maximum health ratio will now be 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% at levels 1, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 17)

---

R - Nature’s Grasp

• Cooldown: 120/100/80 ⇒ 120/110/100

Rammus

W self slow removed. R dash speed increased.

A bugfix in 12.19 to Rammus' W resulted in a sizable nerf to everyone's favorite Armordillo. We're removing some of his training weights so that now he'll be even faster. That said, we'll be keeping an eye out to make sure he's still speedy and tanky and adjust as needed.

---

W - Defensive Ball Curl

• Self Slow: 30% ⇒ 0% (Removed)

---

R - Soaring Slam

• Dash Speed: 105% of Move Speed ⇒ 110% of Move Speed

Sett

Base magic resist decreased. Passive health regeneration decreased early, right punch AD ratio increased.

Sett is the boss. The boss is always on top. He isn't happy being in the middle of the pack, or the middle of the map. So we’re tuning his numbers so that his mid lane strength is a bit weaker without affecting his top lane strength.

---

Base Stats

• Magic Resist: 32 ⇒ 28

---

Passive - Pit Grit

• Health Regeneration per 5% of Missing Health: 0.25/0.5/1/2 ⇒ 0.15/0.5/1/2
• Right Punch AD Ratio: 50% bonus AD ⇒ 55% bonus AD

Wukong

R AD ratio increased.

Right now Wukong's damage output is actually greater if he ends his ult before it times out which feels pretty bad. We're putting some more strength into his ultimate so that the Monkey King can spin to win for the full duration of his ultimate.

---

R - Cyclone

• Physical Damage per Cast: 8/12/16% of target's maximum health (+ 220% AD) ⇒ 8/12/16% of target's maximum health (+ 275% AD)

Ziggs

Q base damage increased.

Ziggs has been struggling to blast off this year and finds himself in need of a little extra explosive power in his kit. We're packing his bombs with a bit more powder so he should find more success shoving lane for more map priority.

---

Q - Bouncing Bomb

• Magic Damage: 85/135/185/235/285 (+ 65% AP) ⇒ 95/145/195/245/295 (+ 65% AP)

Demonic Embrace

Demonic Embrace is functioning well for AP bruisers and ranged Damage over time champions, but it's performing too well on full tanks like Zac, Amumu, and Udyr to name a few. We're skewing its power to be more AP heavy so that it’s roughly the same on primary users and slightly nerfed for pure tank users.

---

• Health: 450 ⇒ 350
• Ability Power: 60 ⇒ 70
• Ranged Burn Damage per Tick: 1% maximum health ⇒ 0.8% maximum health

Frozen Heart

Frozen Heart has been a strong tank item for the majority of the season, however it's recently popped up as an early rush item on non-tanks. We're reducing its base damage reduction to make it better synergize with tanks, and upping the gold cost so non-tanks will have to delay their damage items longer if they want to build it.

---

• Total Cost: 2500 ⇒ 2700
• Combine Cost: 600 ⇒ 800
• Armor: 80 ⇒ 90
• Rock Solid Damage Reduction: 7 (+ 3.5 per 1000 health) ⇒ 5 (+ 3.5 per 1000 health)

Mortal Reminder

While we've buffed Mortal Reminder to be a better Grievous Wounds item, it still competes directly with Phantom Dancer in terms of stats for ADC's weighing their options. We're emphasizing its AD component more so it can stand out against Phantom Dancer’s attack speed and move speed offerings.

---

• Total Cost: 2500 ⇒ 2600
• Attack Damage: 25 ⇒ 35
• Attack Speed: 25% ⇒ 20%

Sterak’s Gage

Sterak's has fallen behind Death's Dance as a preferred juggernaut/fighter item since champions aren't as worried about getting immediately burst down. We're buffing this item to make it more relevant to juggernauts so that it will still be taken into consideration when deciding on their itemizations.

---

• The Claws that Catch bonus AD: 45% base AD ⇒ 50% base AD
• Lifeline Shield Amount: 75% Bonus Health decaying over 3.75 seconds ⇒ 80% Bonus Health decaying over 4.5 seconds

Lethal Tempo

Players in higher skill brackets are getting significantly more value out of the attack range increase to the point that it's warping the meta to an unhealthy degree. This keystone is primarily meant to be an attack speed rune, so we're bringing its range down.

---

• Bonus Auto Attack Range: 50 for melee champions, 75 for ranged ⇒ 50 for melee and ranged champions

Zero-tolerance language will now be detected live and in-game. When detected, these messages will not be sent to other players, the offending player will be system muted, and all players will be notified.

With our growing confidence in feeding detection, we're increasing the strictness of the model for high-level play in Ranked Solo/Duo. We'll continue evaluating play in other queues and make adjustments as necessary.

Recently honored players will now be visible in the Add Friend and Friend Requests menus. We want to make sure it’s easy to keep playing with those players you’ve enjoyed playing with in the past!

Spirit Blossom Aphelios, Spirit Blossom Darius, Spirit Blossom Evelynn, Spirit Blossom Master Yi, Spirit Blossom Sett, Spirit Blossom Soraka, Spirit Blossom Syndra, Spirit Blossom Tristana, Spirit Blossom Yorick, and Prestige Spirit Blossom Master Yi will be available October 6, 2022.

Syndra

Midscope update, all abilities adjusted.

Syndra's been in an awkward spot for a while now. Previously an iconic mid lane mage, balancing her around Pro Play has led to Syndra losing her unique identity, leaving her with so much untapped power.

And that’s how we got to Syndra’s midscope update! With this update, we’re aiming to recapture Syndra’s fantasy of unlimited power in a new way: a brand new passive that upgrades each of her abilities over time. These changes should help Syndra players feel as though their power is growing over time and give more compelling upgrades ranging from more explosive burst combos to debilitating crowd control. Each of Syndra’s abilities will receive new, powerful effects when upgraded through her passive and will also get a brand new upgraded icon. Each of the changes is outlined below, but we hope you enjoy this midscope and this whole new world to toy with!

---

Base Stats

• Base Health: 593 ⇒ 563

---

Passive - Transcendent

• Updated Passive: Syndra collects up to 120 Splinters of Wrath via damaging enemy champions and gaining levels. Splinters of Wrath enhance Syndra and her abilities.
• Mana from Splinters: Syndra restores 20-215 (based on levels 1-18) mana whenever she collects a Splinter from an enemy
• Transcended: At 120 Splinters, Syndra gains 15% Total AP
• Syndra can gain Splinters of Wrath from the following methods:
  • Damaging an enemy champion with 2 abilities within 4 seconds grants (1/2/3 at levels 1/11/18) Splinters (8 second cooldown per target)
  • Syndra will receive 5 Splinters of Wrath when she levels up
  • Killing a Cannon minion grants 1 Splinter of Wrath
• newNew Look: When Syndra fully upgrades an ability she will receive a new, upgraded ability icon

---

Q - Dark Sphere

• Cooldown: 4 seconds ⇒ 7 seconds
• Mana Cost: 40/50/60/70/80 ⇒ 40/45/50/55/60
• Magic Damage: 70/105/140/175/210 (+ 65% AP) ⇒ 70/105/140/175/210 (+ 70% AP)
• newTranscended Dark Sphere: Upon gathering 40 Splinters of Wrath, Q will be able to store up to 2 charges (Note: 1.25 second cooldown between casts)

---

W - Force of Will

• Sphere Pickup Detection Radius: 400 units ⇒ 500 units
• newRun, Playthings: Non-Sphere units that Syndra picks up will now be unable to die while under Syndra’s control. There was previously a very small amount of time units could die while being picked up which has been removed.
• newTranscended Force of Will: Upon gathering 60 Splinters of Wrath, W will deal an additional 15% (+1.5% per 100 AP) true damage

---

E - Scatter the Weak

• Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/15 seconds ⇒ 15 seconds at all ranks
• Stun Duration: 1.5 seconds ⇒ 1.25 seconds
• Magic Damage: 85/130/175/220/265 (+ 60% AP) ⇒ 75/115/155/195/235 (+ 55% AP)
• Scatter Angle: 34 degrees ⇒ 56 degrees
• newPersonal Space: Reduced the likelihood of Q not stunning targets at close range
• removedFire Away: Dark Spheres spawned after casting Scatter the Weak are no longer fired as missiles
• newTranscended Scatter the Weak: Upon gathering 80 Splinters of Wrath, Scatter the Weak's cone is increased (56 degrees ⇒ 84 degrees) and also slows enemies by 70% for 1.25 seconds (applied after initial CC)

---

R - Unleashed Power

• Damage per Sphere: 90/140/190 (+ 20% AP) ⇒ 90/130/170 (+ 17% AP)
• newNew Passive: Unleashed Power will now grant Q - Dark Sphere an additional 10/20/30 Ability Haste
• newTranscended Unleashed Power: Upon gathering 100 Splinters of Wrath, Unleashed Power will execute champions below 15% max health

Blitzcrank

Base attack speed increased, attack speed ratio increased. W mana cost increased, bonus attack speed increased, now empowers auto attacks while active. E mana cost increased, knock up duration increased, AP scaling increased. R passive stack limit removed, on-hit stack damage AP ratio increased; R active AP scaling now increases with rank.

Fun fact, Blitzcrank was initially designed as a fighter champion! While they’ve found their place in the support role over the years, we still think it could be fun to let the Great Steam Golem try their hand at something other than grabbing. We’re buffing some more “fighter” parts of Blitz’s kit to make them a more proficient duelist at as little of a cost to their primary support playstyle as possible—so put on those Boom Boom Blitzcrank skins and get punchin’! Hah. Hah. Hah.

---

Base Stats

• Base Attack Speed: 0.625 ⇒ 0.65
• Attack Speed Ratio: 0.625 ⇒ 0.7

---

W - Overdrive

• Mana Cost: 75 ⇒ 85
• Bonus Attack Speed: 30/38/46/54/62% ⇒ 40/53/66/79/92%
• newMagical Punch: Attacks during W deal an additional 1% of target’s maximum HP in magic damage. Against non-champions, this damage is increased by an extra 60-180 (based on level) damage.

---

E - Power Fist

• Mana Cost: 25 ⇒ 40
• Knock Up Duration: 0.9 seconds ⇒ 1 second
• Empowered Auto Attack Damage: 200% total AD ⇒ 200% total AD (+ 25% AP)
• newNo One is Safe: Against non-champions, Blitzcrank’s E empowered auto attacks will deal a bonus 150% total AD (+ 125% AP) damage

---

R - Static Field

• Maximum Stacks from Passive: 3 ⇒ Unlimited
• Magic Damage from Stacks On-Hit: 50/100/150 (+ 30% AP) ⇒ 50/100/150 (+ 30/40/50% AP)
• Magic Damage: 275/400/525 (+ 100% AP) ⇒ 275/400/525 (+ 125% AP)

---

Bugfixes

• New Brakes: Fixed a bug where Blitzcrank’s W movement speed would decay inconsistently or too quickly

Ekko

Passive damage increased, damage against monsters decreased, bonus movement speed increased early. R damage increased later, AP scaling increased.

Ekko has been a bit weak for a few patches now and while he can’t turn back time to when he was a terror, we can give him a few buffs to increase his damage output in a way that still leaves his opponents some counterplay opportunities.

---

Passive - Z-Drive Resonance

• Third Proc Damage: 30-140 (based on level) (+ 80% AP) ⇒ 30-140 (based on level) (+ 90% AP)

---

R - Chronobreak

• Magic Damage: 150/300/450 (+ 150% AP) ⇒ 200/350/500 (+ 175% AP)

Fizz

E AP scaling increased.

Fizz hasn’t been doing too hot recently, which biologically I would assume is good, but for players he’s feeling a bit lackluster. So we’re putting a bit more strength into his combo by adding damage into one of his higher counterplay spells.

---

E - Playful/Trickster

• Magic Damage: 70/120/170/220/270(+ 75% AP) ⇒ 70/120/170/220/270 (+ 90% AP)

Garen

E critical strike damage increased.

Watch out for those crit Garen players, they know something that we don’t.

---

E - Judgment

• Critical Strike Damage: 58% (+ 1% per 1% bonus critical strike damage) ⇒ 75% (+ 1% per 1% bonus critical strike damage

Jinx

Base AD increased. R base damage to primary target increased.

Jinx hasn’t been her usual chipper, chaotic self recently, so we’re giving her a bit more explosive power in the form of base damage buffs.

---

Base Stats

• Base Attack Damage: 57 ⇒ 59

---

R - Super Mega Death Rocket!

• Base Damage to Primary Target: 250/400/550 ⇒ 300/450/600

Kai'Sa

Passive AP ratio increased.

For a marksman that can flex between multiple builds, AP Kai’Sa has been quite weak since her nerfs a few patches ago. We’re giving her AP builds some strength back in a way that won’t lead to her W spamming ways again.

---

Passive - Second Skin

• 5th Stack Proc Damage: 15% (+ 5% per 100 AP) of target's missing health ⇒ 15% (+ 6% per 100 AP) of target's missing health

Malphite

W AP scaling increased. R AP scaling increased.

Malphite is a rock. Rocks are nature. Nature is magical. Therefore, Malphite should be magical. We’re buffing AP Malphite so he has a bit of extra power to finish off opponents that somehow survive his ultimate.

---

W - Thunderclap

• Cone AoE Physical Damage: 15/25/35/45/55 (+ 20% AP) (+ 15% armor) ⇒ 15/25/35/45/55 (+ 30% AP) (+ 15% armor)

---

R - Unstoppable Force

• Magic Damage: 200/300/400 (+ 80% AP) ⇒ 200/300/400 (+ 90% AP)

Master Yi

AD growth decreased. E AD scaling decreased.

Master Yi's been a top tier jungler at all skill brackets after his recent changes which means we’ve succeeded in our original goal! Now that he has more creative ways to stay alive with perfect Meditates and slippery Alpha Strikes, he's doing a bit too much damage. We’re taking down his damage a bit now that he’s staying alive long enough to do more.

---

Base Stats

• Attack Damage Growth: 2.5 ⇒ 2.2

---

E - Wuju Style

• Bonus True Damage: 30/35/40/45/50 (+35% bonus AD) ⇒ 30/35/40/45/50 (+30% bonus AD)

Nasus

Q empowered attack range increased. W attack speed slow increased. R increased size now scales with rank, AoE radius now increases based on Nasus’ size, damage tick rate adjusted.

Nasus has historically found success in lower skill brackets. Similar to the Yi changes in patch 12.13, we’re looking to give Nasus some high skill skewed buffs to make him stronger in higher levels of play.

---

Q - Siphoning Strike

• Empowered Basic Attack Range: 150 (25 bonus range) ⇒ 175 (50 bonus range)

---

W - Wither

• Attack Speed Slow: 50% of movement speed slow (23.5/29.5/35.5/41.5/47.5%) ⇒ 75% of movement speed slow (new attack speed slow values: 35.25/44.25/53.25/62.25/71.25%)

---

R - Fury of the Sands

• Increased Size: +30% Size ⇒ +30/35/40% Size (levels 6/11/16)
• newBig Pupper: AoE radius of Nasus’ damage now increases based on his size
• Damage Tick Rate: Every 1 second ⇒ Every 0.5 second (note: overall damage is unchanged)

---

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug where Nasus’ damage over time text was not stacking

Nunu

R AP scaling increased.

Turns out AP Nunu is real, and he can hurt you. We’re giving AP Nunu some more strength so that he can more effectively one shot squishies bold enough to facecheck brushes.

---

R - Absolute Zero

• Magic Damage: 625/950/1275 (+ 250% AP) ⇒ 625/950/1275 (+ 300% AP)

Rakan

Passive AP scaling increased. Q AP scaling increased.

There are a small number of people out there that are AP Rakan enjoyers and we want you to know that we see you. These buffs are for you. Also, support Rakan could use the help as well.

---

Passive - Fey Feathers

• Shield Strength: 30-225 (based on level) (+ 85% AP) ⇒ 30-225 (based on level) (+ 95% AP)

---

Q - Gleaming Quill

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

Rek'Sai

Base AD decreased.

Rek’Sai is the queen of the jungle, particularly in the early game, snowballing early ganks better than almost every other jungler at the highest levels of play. We’re bringing her early damage down so that her early ganks aren’t as potent as often.

---

Base Stats

• Base Attack Damage: 64 ⇒ 61

Ryze

Q AP Ratio increased. W AP Ratio increased.

Ryze hasn't been the Pro Play terror that earned him his notoriety, so we're putting some magic power into his kit that will increase the potency of his full AP builds.

---

Q - Overload

• Magic Damage: 70/90/110/130/150 (+ 50% AP) (+ 2% bonus mana) ⇒ 70/90/110/130/150 (+ 55% AP) (+ 2% bonus mana)

---

W - Rune Prison

• Magic Damage: 80/110/140/170/200 (+ 60% AP) (+ 4% bonus mana) ⇒ 80/110/140/170/200 (+ 70% AP) (+ 4% bonus mana)

Shyvana

W AoE AD scaling increased, bonus on-hit damage AD scaling increased. E percent health damage on auto attacks decreased; E AD scaling increased, AP scaling increased. R AP ratio increased.

Right now Shyvana’s best builds are her tank ones, despite that one time we all got one-shot by a Shyvana E on ARAM. We’re giving her some more AD and AP scaling in place of base damage to help out her alternative and exciting build paths.

---

W - Burnout

• Magic Damage per Tick: 10/16.25/22.5/28.75/35 (+ 10% bonus AD) ⇒ 10/16.25/22.5/28.75/35 (+ 15% bonus AD)
• Bonus On-Hit Magic Damage: 5/8.125/11.25/14.375/17.5 (+ 5% bonus AD) ⇒ 5/8.125/11.25/14.375/17.5 (+ 7.5% bonus AD)

---

E - Flame Breath

• Auto Attacks Against Marked Enemies Damage: 3.75% of target’s maximum health ⇒ 3.5% of target’s maximum health
• Damage: 60/100/140/180/220 (+30% AD) (+70% AP) ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220 (+40% AD) (+90% AP)
• Dragon Form Extra Damage: Additional 100-160 (based on level) (+30% AD) (+30% AP) ⇒ Additional 75-135 (based on level) (+30% AD) (+30% AP) (Note: this is in addition to the E base damage)

---

The final phase of The Mythic Content Overhaul has finally arrived! With the start of the Worlds 2022 Event, players will get their first look at the new Event Pass and Event Shop experiences.

---

EVENT PAGE

We’ve moved event related content to one convenient location! Once you navigate here (using the special event icon at the top of the client), you’ll be able to find exactly what you’re looking for regarding the Event Shop, Event Pass, rewards, and more.

---

EVENT SHOP

Just like before, you’ll be able to spend your Event Tokens on exclusive Worlds 2022 content in the Event Shop. To help you find the rewards you want to redeem most, we’ve added a navigation bar on the left side of the shop to quickly jump to categories like chromas, borders, and more.

---

EVENT PASS

Overall, Event Passes are still the same. By playing games and completing missions, you’ll earn rewards. Everyone will have access to free rewards, and pass buyers will unlock access to a premium set of additional rewards. However, you’ll notice a slight change to how you receive your rewards. The new system has a track full of reward milestones for you to progress along and eventually claim what you’ve earned. Be sure to click and claim prior to the end of the event!

---

EVENT MISSIONS

Now that rewards are claimed from the new milestone track, Event Missions will now grant Event XP to help you progress and earn rewards. As a result, all players will have access to all missions, whether they’ve purchased the Event Pass or not. Don’t worry, if you decide to purchase the pass after progressing past several milestones, you’ll still be able to claim the rewards you’ve earned along the way.

---

EVENT TOKENS

Tokens are rewarded at each milestone on the track, and they can still be redeemed for event-exclusive content just as they always have been. Since Worlds 2022 is a BIG event, we’ve boosted the amount of tokens you can earn along the milestone track by adding an additional 100 free tokens spread across several milestones.

Additionally, for the players that finish the milestone track, you’ll be able to continue to play and earn tokens endlessly with the repeatable milestones starting at milestone 51. We’ve included a counter for how many times you loop this segment of the track, so keep playing and earning those rewards!
