Yone's on the weaker side of the roster right now so we think he could use a buff. We know it can feel unfair to simply lose to him right clicking you during his E but we don't want him to be super bursty either, so we're pushing power into his Q, which has more gameplay around predictions and dodging.
Mortal Steel
- AD ratio increased to 110% AD from 105% AD.
Yone won't be much different this year. Considering he doubles how much critical strike chance he gets from each item, he just isn't allowed to crit for full damage.
Way of the Hunter
- New Effect: Now reduces his total critical strike damage by 10%.
- Base critical strike damage increased to 180% from 175%.
- Infinity Edge scaling reduced to 27% from 40%.
We buffed Yone last patch but due to his tendency to build Doran’s Shield and Second Wind, he didn’t end up as powerful as we would have liked. Since we are happy with the results of reducing his sustain in the last patch, we’re re-adding more early agency through his ability to hit back at his opposition.
Mortal Steel
- Base damage increased to 25/50/75/100/125 from 20/45/70/95/120.
Yone's been a low performer for quite a while now, and the upcoming changes to Doran's Shield and Second Wind will likely leave him in a pretty sad state. We'd like to pre-emptively give him some early game power to make up for it.
Stats
- Base attack damage increased to 62 from 60.
