Patch 25.17
changeProfane Hydra is a weak assassin item right now and it fails to fit the typical AD assassin power curve of attempting to spike early in the game. So to buff this item without ballooning late-game burst to the moon, we're making it a more competitive early option by giving it a significant price cut.
General
- Total cost reduced to 2850 gold from 3200 gold.
- Combine cost reduced to 313 gold from 663 gold.
- Attack damage reduced to 55 from 60.
Patch 25.14
buffGeneral
- New Effect: A single attack can now cause a maximum of 10 Cleave splashes, instead of an unlimited number of them.
Patch 14.19
nerfLike other wave clear items, Profane Hydra should be good at wave clear but not also the best option for fighting as there are plenty of other items for the purpose of killing champions quickly. We're fine with Profane being niche for assassins who want faster wave clear or those who are lacking it entirely, but killing enemy champions should mostly come from scaling up one's base kit, not printing new spells to activate, as it risks non-assassins encroaching on their territory (cough, Aatrox, cough).
