We’re buffing several AP items this patch, starting with Cosmic Drive. In general, we identified AP items that we thought had a clear purpose but weren’t strong enough to pull the attention of enough champions, so by giving them some direct buffs, we hope to boost the power of AP champions in general and enrich their decision making.
General

- Spelldance bonus movement speed increased to 40 to 60 (based on level) from 25 to 60 (based on level).

At maximum stacks, gain an additional 10% bonus movement speed.

The Cosmic Drive stat shuffle made the item a bit more popular. This change aims to lower the barrier to entry of the passive portion of the item and make it more broadly accessible to mages by removing the old passive and replacing it with a new one. By moving the passive AP into the base stats of the item, the skill test of this item is being reduced so players aren’t burdened as much about sequencing their abilities for the offensive payoff of the item.
General
- Ability power increased to 100 from 90.
- Unique Passive - Spelldance:
- New Effect: Damaging a champion generates a stack of 2.5% bonus movement speed every 1.5 seconds for the next 5 seconds, up to 10% at 4 stacks. At maximum stacks, gain an additional 10% bonus movement speed, for a total of 20%. Dealing damage refreshes this effect.
- Old Effect: After dealing 3 instances of damage from basic attacks or ability damage to champions within 3 seconds, gain 15% bonus movement speed, decaying to 5% over 2 seconds, and 40 ability power for 5 seconds, refreshing on damage dealt to champions though not resetting the effect.
Cosmic Drive has been niche and unpopular for a while now. This stat change aims to make this item a more attractive purchase for damage-focused mages.

Cosmic Drive was strong throughout the season… but not very exciting. We're amping up the fantasy of this move-fast-cast-fast item and making its passive available way sooner.
