Winter's ApproachGeneral
- Mana increased to 1000 from 860.
- Removed: No longer belongs to the Manaflow item group.
We've had Fimbulwinter on our radar for a while. It's been a very strong item for a while, but it's been consistently overlooked, especially since not all tanks need mana. However, we're at a point now where champions who are between two options (Fimbulwinter vs. Muramana or vs. Seraph's Embrace) should clearly always be choosing the tank option. We're looking to fix that this patch, so we're bringing its shield down a notch.
General
- Everlasting base shield reduced to 100 at all levels from 100 to 180 (based on level).
- Increased base shield reduced to 180 from 180 to 324 (based on level).
We're giving Winter's Approach and Fimbulwinter some strict buffs and also playing up the mana build synergy. By doubling the value of the mana conversion for items like Frozen Heart and Rod of Ages, we hope there will be a subset of tanks and AP bruisers that are excited to try out high-mana builds. On average, the Awe change will be relatively neutral on most tanks unless they invest further into mana, but the 150 extra health is pure upside.
General
- Health increased to 550 from 400.
- Awe mana ratio changed to 15% bonus mana from 8% maximum mana.
General
- Now limits the user to 1 Manaflow item.
- No longer limits the user to 1 Mana Charge item.
In this patch we’re giving Fimbulwinter a quality of life buff by removing the mana requirement from the shield. The shield originally drained mana when it activated because we were worried that the item needed a limiter. After seeing the state of the item on live for a while, we believe it no longer needs that limiter to keep the item in check.
General
- Removed: Everlasting no longer consumes 3% current mana to activate the shield.
General
- Bug Fix: Health increased to 400 from 350 to match Winter's Approach balance change.
General
- Base shield reduced to 100 to 180 (based on level) from 100 to 200 (based on level).
- Shield mana ratio reduced to 4.5% current mana from 5%.
General
- Health reduced to 350 from 400.
- Bug Fix: Fixed a bug where the base shield did not properly update with champion level.
