Hextech Gunblade Changes

Patch 26.4

change

General

  • Updated visual effects.

Patch 26.1

change

Gunblade is one of the most requested removed items, as well as a popular item in alternate game modes despite a relatively limited champion user pool. We think that we can control some of the negative gameplay of this item with tuning, especially on the amount of Omnivamp granted and on the frequency with which users can apply the powerful active effect, so we think this is safe to add back in.

  • Recipe: Vampiric Scepter + Hextech Alternator + Amplifying Tome + 600 gold = 3000 gold.
