Stridebreaker has struggled to be a viable option since its de-mythicing in 14.1. And while we’ve buffed it a few times, the item is becoming dangerously close to being a pure stat stick, but we’d like for this item’s unique benefits to be a meaningful part of its strengths. With that in mind, we’re adding Tiamat to its build path and re-adding the damage on its active. That said, we’re concerned over how much burst is available in the item system at the moment, so we’re using that same Tiamat in order to make it unique against items like Ravenous and Titanic Hydra to prevent stacking. Stridebreaker stands alone as the only Tiamat item with crowd control and baseline attack speed on it, and we believe it’ll find a few users who really appreciate the item’s unique strengths.

Stridebreaker is an item that should be an appealing purchase for low mobility fighters who benefit from the added mobility and target access that it provides. While it is serving this niche for juggernauts like Garen and Sett, data shows that the item is still weak and has room for some additional feels good changes.

This item is actually quite strong. but doesn't have a lot of core users that are able to use it effectively in its current state. The light buff here gives it more damage but less durability than Goredrinker, though solidly more durability than Trinity Force as an attack speed option.

We’re also adjusting Stridebreaker's active to match the damage changes to Goredrinker and Ironspike Whip, but it's also getting an AD boost to compensate since it doesn't need a nerf right now.
General
- Attack damage increased to 50 from 45.
- Halting Slash AD ratio changed to 175% base AD from 100% total AD.
- Dreamshatter attack damage increased to 60 from 55.
Stridebreaker landed strong after its change last patch. One of our goals for the item was to give fighters a way to stick to a target for a period of time, but they don’t need to bring their unlucky foe to a complete standstill to do that. So we’re toning down how much it can slow, but keeping its slow over time. Also, we did an oopsie—the changes also caused Stridebreaker to lose 5 AD on completion. That’s fixed now.
