Patch 26.1
changeThe dual resistance version of Unending Despair was intended to slot well into health-stacking builds in the second or third slot, but it ended up being so generically useful that it overrode the choice structure in top and jungle tank builds regardless of what their first item was. We're returning it to armor-only, but this version has a bit more ability haste in order to differentiate it from the other armor plus health items in the tank system.
General
- New Recipe: Chain Vest + Kindlegem + Ruby Crystal + 800 gold = 2800 gold.
- Old Recipe: Aegis of the Legion + Giant's Belt + 800 gold = 2800 gold.
- Armor increased to 50 from 25.
- Magic resistance reduced to 0 from 25.
- Ability haste increased to 15 from 10.
Patch 25.4
nerfUnending Despair was the strongest tank item in the game before season start, but players hadn't really caught on. Now that it's generically purchasable with both armor and MR, players are flocking in and identifying that it is indeed very, very good. As the intent was to push the item more toward health stackers, we're continuing on that trend, making it still great for champions who stack bonus health and less of a generic tank item that anyone can grab.
General
- Removed: Anguish no longer deals 8 to 15 (based on level) base damage.
Patch 25.S1.1
changeUnending Despair is being changed from a generic teamfight-winning armor item to a more obvious slot-two item for health stackers. Dual resists allows these champions to keep buying health, while the reduced base value but overall higher health % per second allows Anguish to strongly serve champions with large health pools.

Patch 14.10
buffWith Ingenious Hunter going the way of the dinosaur, we saw that Unending Despair was only strong when built alongside that rune, so we're buffing it with a substantially lower cooldown.
