Patch 14.19nerf

General

  • Combine cost increased to 450 gold from 400 gold.
  • Total cost unchanged.
Patch 14.10change

With Recurve Bow we wanted to make a small change to reduce the amount of magic damage being dealt in a non-intentional way by ADCs. We know this item has broader use beyond just ADCs but for an epic we feel it should feel a bit more simplified.

General

  • Sting damage type changed to physical from magic.
  • No longer builds into Runaan's Hurricane.
Patch 14.3change

General

  • Now builds into Guinsoo's Rageblade.
Patch 14.1change

General

  • Passive renamed to Sting from Steeltipped.
  • Now builds into Terminus.
Patch 13.22change

General

  • Bug Fix: Tooltip is no longer missing a line break for information on the on-hit damage.
Patch 13.10nerf

Recurve Bow is another epic item being retuned to bring the gold efficiency of components closer together. Shrinking it also allows its placement in more legendary items without having to retune those numbers. Moving its on-hit damage to magic is an experiment in making on-hit effects more noticeable.

General

  • New Recipe: Dagger + 400 gold = 700 gold.
  • Old Recipe: Dagger + Dagger + 400 gold = 1000 gold.
  • Attack speed reduced to 15% from 25%.
