Patch 13.21nerf

Hullbreaker is performing exceptionally well on too many users at the moment, which means it’s approaching dangerous territory. In this patch we’re looking to reduce its ability to stat-check opponents by reducing the amount of Armor and MR it gives, as this makes it too hard to stop a Hullbreaker split pusher in a 1v1.

General

  • Boarding Party bonus resistances reduced to 10;15;20;28;36;44;52;60 from 10;20;35;43;51;59;67;75.
  • Boarding Party minion bonus resistances reduced to 10*3;15*3;20*3;28*3;36*3;44*3;52*3;60*3 from 10*3;20*3;35*3;43*3;51*3;59*3;67*3;75*3.
Patch 13.10buff

Hullbreaker is a mostly unused item that is sitting alone on the shop keeper’s shelf unless a stray Yorick decides to pick it up. We’re trying a light reshape and significant buff to the item while avoiding making it a first rush item again.

General

  • New Recipe: Pickaxe + Phage + Winged Moonplate + 225 gold = 3000 gold.
  • Old Recipe: Pickaxe + Phage + 825 gold = 2800 gold.
  • Attack damage increased to 60 from 50.
  • Now grants 5% bonus movement speed.
Patch 12.13change

General

  • Bug Fix: Ping indicator now takes into account nearby untargetable allied champions for Boarding Party.
  • Bug Fix: Bonus resistances now properly decay over 3 seconds upon being in range of a nearby allied champion, instead of being lost instantly.
Patch 12.9buff

Hullbreaker is an important tool for empowering split pushing, but when rushed as a first item, its bounty-ful bonus resists can invalidate laning and lead to unpleasant experiences. We still think it's a valuable addition to the game since, unlike past split push items like Zz'Rot, Hullbreaker requires champions to stay in the lane they’re split pushing. So we're nerfing its early game potency.

General

  • New Effect: Now only amplifies damage dealt by basic attacks against structures, instead of all damage.
  • Boarding Party bonus resistances changed to 10;20;35;43;51;59;67;75 from 20 to 60.
  • Boarding Party minion bonus resistances changed to 10*3;20*3;35*3;43*3;51*3;59*3;67*3;75*3 from 60 to 180.
Patch 12.5nerf

Ranged Hullbreaker users have been taking over top lane, so we’re decreasing its benefits for them. Hullbreaker should still feel like an option for ranged champs, but without overshadowing melee users.

General

  • Boarding Party bonus resistances for ranged champions reduced to 10/12.2222/14.4444/16.6667/18.8889/21.1111/23.3333/25.5556/27.7778/30 (at level 1/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18) from 20/24.4444/28.8889/33.3333/37.7778/42.2222/46.6667/51.1111/55.5556/60 (at level 1/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18).
  • Boarding Party minion bonus resistances for ranged champions reduced to 30/36.6667/43.3333/50/56.6667/63.3333/70/76.6667/83.3333/90 (at level 1/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18) from 60/73.3333/86.6667/100/113.333/126.667/140/153.333/166.667/180 (at level 1/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18).
Patch 11.17buff

While Hullbreaker is a strong early rush on a few champions, its opportunity cost is too large to be a great choice compared to other Legendary fighter items that have more generic value. We're giving it a bit of beef so that players feel a bit more inclined to go on a raiding party.

General

  • Health increased to 400 from 300.
Patch 11.15buff

Hullbreaker could use some help as the game reaches later phases of the game. We’re giving more durability for anyone who’s hunting alone.

General

  • Boarding Party bonus resistances increased to 20/24.4444/28.8889/33.3333/37.7778/42.2222/46.6667/51.1111/55.5556/60 (at level 1/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18) from 20/22.7778/25.5556/28.3333/31.1111/33.8889/36.6667/39.4444/42.2222/45 (at level 1/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18).
  • Boarding Party minion bonus resistances increased to 60/73.3333/86.6667/100/113.333/126.667/140/153.333/166.667/180 (at level 1/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18) from 60/68.3333/76.6667/85/93.3333/101.667/110/118.333/126.667/135 (at level 1/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18).

Patch 11.13new

Hullbreaker added to League of Legends

Many fighters struggle to convert leads into wins right now, especially through split pushing. Hullbreaker's goal is to give them a strategic purchase where they can opt into a heavy and powerful split pushing strategy at the cost of being isolated from their team. This item should allow for the split pusher to take down towers and whoever comes to stop them. It also gives them a way to push through tanks and towers, similar to how the old Banner of Command worked, except now they have to stick with the minion to continue barreling down the lane.

Base Stats

  • BUILD PATH: Pickaxe + Phage + 825 gold
  • ATTACK DAMAGE: 50
  • HEALTH: 300
  • HEALTH REGEN: 150%

Effects

  • PASSIVE: While no allied champions are nearby, gain 20-45 armor and magic resist (level 9-18) and deal 20% increased damage to towers. Large minions nearby also gain 60-135 armor and magic resist and deal 200% increased damage to towers.
