Stormsurge is quite a bit less popular than Shadowflame and we think it should see more play. To make its purpose more distinct, we’re increasing Stormraider’s bonus movement speed to encourage more playmaking. We’re also softening Squall’s nerf for ranged users to make it more appealing to them.
General
- Stormraider bonus movement speed increased to 35% from 25%.
- Squall base damage for ranged champions increased to 126 from 105.
- Squall AP ratio for ranged champions increased to 18% AP from 15% AP.
General
- Movement speed increased to 8% from 5%.
General
- Ability power increased to 95 from 90.
- Squall base damage changed to 140 at all levels from 100 to 200.
- Bug Fix: Damage tracker now properly only counts Squall's damage dealt to champions instead of all enemy units.
Stormsurge has been a major contributor to the increased burst damage in the game, and it’s certainly a significant contributor to the time to kill speed for AP assassins. It’s also still quite powerful after the hotfix nerf, so we’re looking to decrease its scaling/multiplicative snowballing power via the AP ratio while maintaining the item as a good early power spike.

- Bug Fix: No longer improperly deals the damage to the user if it hit Neeko clone from her Shapesplitter.
- Bug Fix: No longer improperly grants kill credit to the ally who triggered the area of effect rather than the user.
Stormsurge - New item added to League of Legends
General
- Recipe: Hextech Alternator + Aether Wisp + 950 gold = 2900 gold.
- Stats: 100 ability power, 10 magic penetration, 5% movement speed.
- Unique Passive - Stormraider: Dealing damage to an enemy champion equal to 35% of their maximum health within 2.5 seconds inflicts them with Squall and grants you 25% bonus movement speed for 2 seconds (30 second cooldown).
- Unique Passive - Squall: After 2 seconds of having applied Squall, strike the target with lightning, dealing 120 to 260 (+ 40% AP) magic damage to them. If the target dies before being struck, they emit an electric field instantly that shocks all enemy champions near them, dealing them the same damage and granting you 30 gold.
- Limited to 1 Stormsurge.
