With the avalanche of new and updated Preseason tank items, Winter's Approach has lost its place among the Legendary items (which is a shame because winter finally came). We're reverting some of our nerfs from last year so that Winter's Approach stands out more as the mana/health stacking second item.
Winter’s Approach
- Total Cost: 2700 → 2600
- Health: 350 → 400
Fimbulwinter
- Health: 350 → 400
Winter may be over for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, but Winter’s Approach is still the premier choice for mana tanks and a few mages, despite being a scaling item. We’re increasing its cost to make it less appealing as a first purchase.

Tanks who need mana can really struggle during teamfights as they slowly grind through their mana bars. Let the spell spamming commence. (Thanks, Wild Rift!)
