- •Shield duration increased to 4.5 seconds from 3.75.
- •Bonus attack damage increased to 50% base AD from 45%.
Frozen Heart has been a strong tank item for the majority of the season, however it's recently popped up as an early rush item on non-tanks. We're reducing its base damage reduction to make it better synergize with tanks, and upping the gold cost so non-tanks will have to delay their damage items longer if they want to build it.
General
- •Total cost increased to 2700 gold from 2500 gold.
- •Combine cost increased to 800 gold from 600 gold.
- •Armor increased to 90 from 80.
- •Rock Solid base damage reduction reduced to 5 from 7.
While we've buffed Mortal Reminder to be a better Grievous Wounds item, it still competes directly with Phantom Dancer in terms of stats for ADC's weighing their options. We're emphasizing its AD component more so it can stand out against Phantom Dancer’s attack speed and move speed offerings.
General
- •Total cost increased to 2600 gold from 2500 gold.
- •Combine cost increased to 750 gold from 650 gold.
- •Attack damage increased to 35 from 25.
- •Attack speed reduced to 20% from 25%.
Demonic Embrace is functioning well for AP bruisers and ranged Damage over time champions, but it's performing too well on full tanks like Zac, Amumu, and Udyr to name a few. We're skewing its power to be more AP heavy so that it’s roughly the same on primary users and slightly nerfed for pure tank users.
General
- •Ability power increased to 75 from 60.
- •Health reduced to 350 from 450.
- •Azakana Gaze damage per tick for ranged champions reduced to 0.8% of target's maximum health from 1%.
