  • Combine cost increased to 200 gold from 100 gold.
  • Attack damage reduced to 65 from 70.
  • Ability haste reduced to 20 from 25.
Patch 14.11buff

Essence Reaver is still a little bit weak on its intended users, so we're delivering it a small gold efficiency buff In the micropatch we increased the AD on Essence Reaver from 65 to 70. This is already live.

General

  • Total cost reduced to 3100 gold from 3200 gold.
  • Combine cost reduced to 100 gold from 200 gold.
Patch 14.10change

This one in particular is a pretty big change but we're taking away the Spellblade passive from Essence Reaver. It's instead becoming a stat stick with a very clear purpose, spell casting. It should still provide a near-unlimited supply of mana for those spells to be cast, as well as having a competitive stat line.

General

  • New:
  • Recipe: B. F. Sword + Caulfield's Warhammer + Cloak of Agility + 200 gold = 3200 gold.
  • Stats: 65 attack damage, 25 ability haste, 25% critical strike chance.
  • Unique Passive - Essence Drain: Basic attacks on-hit restore 15 (+ 10% bonus AD) mana.
  • Limited to 1 Essence Reaver.
  • Old:
  • Recipe: Sheen + Caulfield's Warhammer + Cloak of Agility + 300 gold = 2900 gold.
  • Stats: 60 attack damage, 20 ability haste, 20% critical strike chance.
  • Unique Passive - Spellblade: After using an ability, your next basic attack on-hit within 10 seconds deals 140% base AD (+ 20% bonus AD) bonus physical damage and restores mana equal to 40% of that amount 1.5 (begins after using the empowered attack).
  • Limited to 1 Spellblade item.
Patch 14.3change

With the new item system, Lethality became a much better stat for bot laners in particular. Combined with the overall game pacing differences compared to season 13, on-hit and crit marksmen have been left a bit weaker than they were before. These changes aim to bring up the power level of crit and on-hit users systemically so that they no longer feel as though Lethality is their only viable itemization option

General

  • Combine cost increased to 300 gold from 200 gold.
  • Total cost unchanged.
  • Attack damage increased to 60 from 55.
Patch 14.1change

General

  • Total cost increased to 3000 gold from 2900 gold.
  • Combine cost reduced to 300 gold from 500 gold.
  • Now limits the user to 1 Spellblade item.
Patch 13.13change

Champion power comes from both their inherent kit and the systems (runes, items, Summoner Spells, etc.) that players choose to opt into for that game. Ideally, the ratio of power that comes from those sources remains relatively consistent throughout the game. Early on, champions have a keystone and only low-level skills. As time goes on, items get completed, ultimates come online, and abilities get ranked up. But while attack damage and ability power ratios rarely change much with rank, items may each have ratios of their own. If these item ratios are too high, some champions start to become button-pressers for their item (looking at you Ezreal and Rengar) instead of standing out as their own champions. With that in mind, the goal of the changes to Essence Reaver and Stormrazor this patch are to limit the new attack damage ratios that champions gain over time while making sure they're a powerful source of damage early in the game. This change should make Essence Reaver stronger for most users across the majority of playtime but will be slightly weaker later.

General

  • Spellblade base AD ratio increased to 130% base AD from 100%.
  • Spellblade bonus AD ratio reduced to 20% bonus AD from 40%.
