Infinity Edge

With baseline crit damage changes, of course Infinity Edge needs a bit of retuning. We want it to remain a powerful capstone item, but with baseline crit being higher it can't give quite as much critical strike damage.

ADC builds take a little bit too long to get off the ground at the moment, so we're shrinking their most-built item, Infinity Edge, in order to let them get into the rest of their build sooner.

As the premiere gold-scaling class, there's no reason IE shouldn't be at least tied for the most expensive item in the game. Also, since we're trying to make Essence Reaver, Yun Tal Wildarrows, and Collector be solid AD-crit starter items, we can push IE back to make more sense on slot two or three as a true capstone.

Infinity Edge is currently too strong and the potential burst available to ADCs off of one lucky crit is a little too high, so we're bringing down their top end.

We wanted to bring back a more powerful version of Infinity Edge that feels like it's worth rushing. With these stats, it'll hold its own while waiting for other scalers to come into play and should bring back crit builds to some of the users that had some in the past.

Infinity Edge has been a reasonable marksman capstone since midseason, but isn't quite hitting the excitement bar that we want it to. IE should be the clear late-game auto-attack DPS winner, and while it's close, many players aren't getting the enjoyment they want out of this historic item. In truth, the changes here are pretty small. It's roughly power-neutral as a second item and then trends toward 3-4% more auto attack DPS in full builds. The important thing is having auto attack crits stand out, which should safely happen here.

Across League’s lifetime, Infinity Edge has almost always been a mythic item for AD Carries in everything but name, so now we’re just making it official. It’s got a simple stat profile and a simple purpose: Deal up to 20% more auto-attack damage based on your critical strike chance. It’s good at it. The Mythic Passive is intentionally pretty bland because IE already does a great job of making your other items feel awesome.

Increased critical strike damage now scales with critical strike chance.

Increases critical strike damage instead of partially converting crits to true damage. Grants critical strike chance instead of doubling crit chance from other sources.
