Patch 14.6buff

General

  • Combine cost reduced to 550 gold from 600 gold.
  • Total cost unchanged.
Patch 14.5nerf

Frozen 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 14.2nerf

Some 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 14.1change

General

  • Total cost reduced to 2300 gold from 2700 gold.
  • Combine cost reduced to 400 gold from 800 gold.

Patch 13.17change

General

  • Bug Fix: Snowflake VFX no longer appears above nearby affected non-champions.
Patch 13.11change

General

  • Bug Fix: No longer sometimes generates monster aggro.
Patch 13.8nerf

General

  • Maximum damage reduction on affected damage instances reduced to 20% of the total damage from 40%.
Patch 12.20nerf

Frozen 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.
  • Rock Solid base damage reduction reduced to 5 from 7.
Patch 11.24change

General

  • Bug Fix: Winter's Caress no longer improperly counts as being in-combat.
Patch 11.19change

General

  • Bug Fix: Winter's Caress no longer activates while dead if the item is purchased while dead.
Patch 11.11change

General

  • New Effect: Now has a base basic damage reduction of 7.
  • Basic damage reduction health ratio reduced to 3.5 per 1000 health from 5.
  • Attack speed slow increased to 20% from 15%.
Patch 11.8buff
