Items
General

Redemption is being overshadowed by the other Enchanter items and has struggled to find its niche this season. We’re increasing the power and availability of its exciting moments so that it can be more effective in more team fights.

While Dark Seal is meant to be a high-risk, high-reward item, it's become a consistently high-value option for most AP users, even for champions that appreciate the mana on Doran's Ring. We’re pulling back on the stacking pace of the item so that there's more risk involved when opting into Dark Seal.
