Patch 12.23change

We overshot a bit with Hydra’s overall stats, making it a much too efficient item for the gold that it cost. We’re preserving its niche as a rush item for champions that like the AD, but are reducing its AoE damage and pulling out the Ominvamp from stacks that was really pushing this item over the edge.

General

  • Removed: No longer grants 0.1% omnivamp per stack of Carnivorous.
  • Cleave damage AD ratio reduced to 50% AD from 60% AD.
  • Bug Fix: Selling the item and undoing that action now properly preserves the acquired stacks.
  • Bug Fix: No longer loses the Cleave effect after 2500 seconds (~41 minutes) of being purchased.
