PCProwler's Claw
League of Legends (PC)
Prowler's Claw has been changed in 17 League of Legends patches. 4 buffs, 1 nerf, 10 adjustments. Most recently buffed in Patch 13.16.
Prowler’s Claw’s current cooldown is a bit too long for a lot of users that would like to pick up this item, so we’re lowering the cooldown to help make it a bit more accessible for these champions while slightly increasing the damage it can provide to make it a more worthwhile purchase.
General
- Cooldown reduced to 5 seconds from 10.
- Bonus AD ratio increased to 55% bonus AD from 45%.
After its rework, Prowler’s Claw is still a bit weak compared to the premium damage carry item we’d like for it to be for lethality assassins. To give it some help we’re bringing its baseline lethality up to match the alternative lethality options.
General
- Lethality increased to 18 from 15.
Prowler's Claw was the first item to give every champion a targeted dash, which unlocked amazing new combos and introduced a skill-intensive item for players to show off their outplay potential. However, its consistent target-access ended up limiting how we could balance and design champions. Some, such as Talon and Rek'Sai, were designed with huge payoffs if they could use their mobility skills to get into melee range. With the addition, this trivialized one part of the "challenge", meaning we had to nerf the payoff or nerf the mobility. We're making the call to remove the dash from Prowler's and promote Ghostblade to Mythic with the aim to maintain three exciting Mythic choices for Assassins followed by more niche Lethality Legendaries that each succeed in their own roles.

We’re adjusting the way Prowler’s Claw’s active targeting works to make it more user-friendly and forgiving, as it’s been more challenging to use in some kits than intended. We’re not increasing the item’s actual range, but now if you misclick slightly while trying to cast it in the middle of your combo, Prowler’s will hit the target you probably meant to click on instead of doing nothing.
