General
- •New Effect: Healing is now reduced by 50% beyond the first stack.

- •Bonus Immolate damage per stack increased to 12% from 10%.
- •Forgefire Crest ability haste increased to 25 from 20.
Seeker's Armguard and Verdant Barrier have been doing their job a bit too well, keeping AP scaling champs too safe as the laning phase progresses, which masks their intended weaknesses and contributes to a particularly dull meta.

- •New Unique Passive - Agony: Deal 0 to 12% (based on target's bonus health) bonus magic damage against enemy champions.
