Lord Dominik's Regards Changes

Patch 26.1

nerf

We're doing a pass on crit Last Whisper items here to help make marksman crit damage a little lower against squishy targets and a bit better against tankier targets.

General

  • Total cost increased to 3300 gold from 3100 gold.
  • Combine cost increased to 550 gold from 350 gold.
  • Armor penetration reduced to 35% from 40%.
  • New Unique Passive - Giant Slayer: Deal 0 to 15% (based on target's bonus health) increased damage against enemy champions.

Patch 25.S1.2

change

We're adjusting the crit armor penetration items in order to make their purpose sharper: better when faced with high armor enemies without making them clearly stronger when not facing them.

General

  • Total cost increased to 3100 gold from 3000 gold.
  • Combine cost increased to 350 gold from 250 gold.
  • Armor penetration increased to 40% from 35%.

Patch 14.19

nerf

General

  • Combine cost increased to 250 gold from 150 gold.
  • Total cost unchanged.
  • Attack damage reduced to 35 from 45.

Patch 14.15

nerf

When we adjusted LDR in the mid-year patch, we pushed the armor penetration high enough that it was no longer enough of a penalty to stack physical damage ADCs on a team, so we’re walking its armor penetration back to its pre-patch value, which should still make it clearly good when the situation calls for it but also bringing down the cap on pure physical damage teams. Meanwhile, Mortal Reminder was made strictly more powerful by gaining 5% crit chance, so we’re dropping 5 AD (everyone’s favorite nerf).

General

  • Armor penetration reduced to 35% from 40%

Patch 14.12

change

Similar to Statikk Shiv changes down below, we're making LDR's build path a little smoother since we generally like when items have smooth build paths.

General

  • New Recipe: Last Whisper + Noonquiver + 150 gold = 3000 gold.
  • Old Recipe: Last Whisper + Cloak of Agility + 950 gold = 3000 gold.

Patch 14.10

buff

Dominik's is losing its Giant Slayer passive, but gaining raw stats to compensate for it. While it won't be as efficient as killing very high health targets, it'll provide more against others. We still believe there there should be enough ways to deal with those tanks and frontliners within the crit item system

General

  • Attack damage increased to 45 from 40.
  • Armor penetration increased to 40% from 35%.
  • Critical strike chance increased to 25% from 20%.
  • Removed Unique Passive - Giant Slayer: Deal 0 to 15% (based on maximum health difference) bonus damage against enemy champions with greater maximum health than you.

Patch 14.6

buff

General

  • Armor penetration increased to 35% from 30%.

Patch 14.1

change

General

  • Attack damage increased to 40 from 35.
  • Giant Slayer bonus damage reduced to 0 to 15% (based on maximum health difference) from 0 to 22% (based on maximum health difference).
  • No longer limits the user to 1 Last Whisper item.
  • Now limits the user to 1 Fatality item.

Patch 13.20

nerf

The current damage amplification from LDR's passive, Giant Slayer, was calculated as pre-application, meaning it triggered after things like shields and lifesteal. In this patch, we'll be moving it to pre-mitigation, which should be more intuitive to how players think about and use the item. Since this will result in a power increase for the item, we're proactively giving it a small nerf to avoid overpowering it.

General

  • Bonus damage reduced to 0 to 22% (based on maximum health difference) from 0 to 25%.
  • Bug Fix: Now properly amplifies damage dealt even if it was mitigated by shields.
  • Bug Fix: Life steal now properly benefits from the bonus damage.

Patch 13.10

buff

Lord Dominik’s now multiplies magic damage through its passive effect, which just makes it feel a bit better for crit users who happen to have some magic damage on their kits or items. LD sends his regards.

General

  • New Effect: Giant Slayer now deals 0 to 25% (based on maximum health difference) bonus damage against enemy champions with greater maximum health than you, instead of just physical damage.

buff

General

  • Attack damage increased to 35 from 30.

Patch 12.23

buff

  • Combine cost increased to 950 gold from 850 gold.
  • Attack damage reduced to 30 from 35.

Patch 11.7

nerf

Lord Dominik's Regard has quickly caught on as the go-to second purchase for marksfolk. We're adjusting it so it's no longer a catch-all item, but rather something to be picked up specifically for facing tanky terrors.

General

  • COST: 2900 gold → 3000 gold
  • ATTACK DAMAGE: 35 → 30
