Umbral Glaive's stats and cost were bumped up last preseason to match it more closely with other lethality-focused Legendary items. However, this left it at a pretty weak state while also pricing it out of budget for supports like Senna and Pyke. We're shrinking the cost yet again and (hopefully!) bringing lethality supports back into Pro play.
General
- •Total cost reduced to 2400 gold from 2600 gold.
- •Combine cost reduced to 600 gold from 800 gold.
- •Lethality reduced to 10 from 12.
