Patch 13.9buff

Lich Bane has lost satisfaction over time. The item is still popular with its core userbase but we want those who purchase it to feel better about the purchase and just overall increase its viability as an AP item choice.

General

  • Ability power increased to 85 from 75.
Patch 12.2buff

At the start of Season 2021, we revamped Lich Bane to broaden its user base by removing its ability haste and increasing Spellblade's damage and cooldown. These changes made it very powerful as a burst tool, but that burst also got a few nerfs throughout the year. As a result, Lich Bane was left feeling pretty underwhelming for its core users, so we're partially restoring it to a healthier state.

  • New Recipe: Sheen + Aether Wisp + Fiendish Codex + 550 gold = 3000 gold.
  • Old Recipe: Sheen + Aether Wisp + Blasting Wand + 600 gold = 3000 gold.
  • Ability haste increased to 15 from 0.
  • Spellblade base AD ratio reduced to 75% base AD from 150%.
  • Spellblade AP ratio increased to 50% AP from 40% AP.
  • Spellblade cooldown reduced to 1.5 seconds from 2.5.
