PCArmored Advance - New item
League of Legends (PC)
Armored Advance - New item has been changed in 4 League of Legends patches. 2 buffs, 1 adjustment. Most recently buffed in Patch 26.3.
When we updated the mid lane quest boots we wanted to make sure that champions had the option to pick items that strongly suited them. We did not want to let early defensive purchases trivialize their competition, as mid lane is a home of many assassins. So in this patch we're adjusting the upgraded versions of Mercury's Treads and Plated Steelcaps to make them weaker anti-burst options for champions who aren't buying any other durability items. These changes represent a tuning close to the end of last season, but with numbers that are more readily apparent at first glance, as no one can acquire these boots at level 1, and the prior max HP ratio carried most of the shield's value, even to squishies.
General
- Base shield increased to 100 to 200 (based on level) from 10 to 120 (based on level).
- Shield health ratio changed to 8% bonus health from 7% maximum health.
General
- No longer obtainable through Feats of Strength.
- Required the Blessing of Noxus and two Legendary-tier items equipped.
- Now obtainable through the mid lane role quest.
- Upgrade cost reduced to 0 gold from 500 gold.
- Movement speed reduced to 45 from 50.
- Armor reduced to 35 from 40.
- Shield health ratio increased to 7% maximum health from 4%.
- Shield duration increased to 5 seconds from 4.
General
- Combine cost reduced to 500 gold from 750 gold.
- Total cost reduced to 1700 gold from 1950 gold.
