Patch 14.19
changeAs part of an ongoing effort to reign in complexity while retaining depth in item choices, we're removing Rock Solid from Frozen Heart and replacing it with some extra armor. Taking less damage per auto and simply reducing the number of incoming autos are pretty similar mechanics and Winter's Caress is a strict upgrade.
General
- Combine cost increased to 600 gold from 550 gold.
- Total cost unchanged.
- Armor increased to 75 from 65.
- New Effect: Winter's Caress now only affects enemy champions.
- Removed Unique Passive - Rock Solid: Every first incoming instance of post-mitigation basic damage per cast instance is reduced by 5 (+ 3.5 per 1000 maximum health), maximum 20% reduction each.
Patch 14.6
buffGeneral
- Combine cost reduced to 550 gold from 600 gold.
- Total cost unchanged.
Patch 14.5
nerfFrozen Heart is currently the most built tank item in the game. For a niche item that is hyper focused on hampering one specific style of one damage type, that means the item is overperforming. This patch we're nerfing Frozen Heart's more generic strengths in order to preserve its usefulness as a specific counter as opposed to a generic tank item.
General
- Total cost increased to 2500 gold from 2400 gold.
- Combine cost increased to 600 gold from 500 gold.
- Armor reduced to 65 from 70.
Patch 14.2
nerfSome would say we made Frozen Heart cheap. Possibly too cheap. And thus, we are here to un-cheapen it. By upping the cost Frozen Heart should now be more comparable to other potential armor item options.
General
- Total cost increased to 2400 gold from 2300 gold.
- Combine cost increased to 500 gold from 400 gold.
Patch 14.1
changeGeneral

Patch 13.8
nerfGeneral
- Maximum damage reduction on affected damage instances reduced to 20% of the total damage from 40%.
Patch 12.20
nerfFrozen Heart has been a strong tank item for the majority of the season, however it's recently popped up as an early rush item on non-tanks. We're reducing its base damage reduction to make it better synergize with tanks, and upping the gold cost so non-tanks will have to delay their damage items longer if they want to build it.
General
- Total cost increased to 2700 gold from 2500 gold.
- Combine cost increased to 800 gold from 600 gold.
- Armor increased to 90 from 80.
