League of LegendsPatch 13.10

PCKalistaBuffShare

E AP ratios added to slow and damage.

PCKindredBuffShare

W AP ratio added. E AP ratio added.

PCNeekoBuffShare

Q damage to monsters increased. W damage to monsters increased. R AP ratio increased.

PCVayneBuffShare

Q AP ratio added.

PCAkshanChangeShare

Passive AP ratio added to damage, shield decreased. Q AP ratio added to bonus movement speed.

PCChalice of BlessingNEWShare

Chalice is being introduced as a new component meant to build into other enchanter items and provide some additional value by allowing supports to access mana regeneration early.

PCEchoes of HeliaNEWShare

Raise those grails because we’re bringing back the spiritual successor for a much beloved item of olden times! Introducing… Echoes of Helia! Echoes of Helia is intended to be an item that’s mainly for Enchanters and focuses on helping out more offensive/skirmish play patterns, so if you like poking down your opponents in lane this is the item for you! As a consequence, Imperial Mandate was moved down to Legendary to open up its audience to champs who might like the item but didn't want to trade off their mythic slot for it.

PCLifewell PendantNEWShare

This is intended to be a new item component for tank supports that will give them the stat profile they need at an affordable price.

PCArdent CenserBuffShare

We’re putting more power into the passive and adding movement speed into Ardent Censer so that it’s easier to keep up with the teammates you’ll be enhancing. Vayne spotting just got a little bit easier.

PCDuskblade of DraktharrBuffShare

Like Prowler's Claw, Duskblade gave a unique effect to many champions. With Stealth, we found that the appeal and frustration of the item limited how powerful the item could actually be. Since its release, Duskblade has been notably weaker than the other Mythics. We're reworking the Stealth aspect of the item to be a bit clearer for both sides, and filling in the power budget with a new passive perfect for ability-based casters and those hunting for their next kill.

PCGoredrinkerBuffShare

Goredrinker is already reasonably powerful, but it’s still lagging behind Sunderer, so we’re giving it some light buffs to bring it up to par. We’re adjusting the gold cost specifically to reduce how directly comparable these items are to each other.

PCHearthbound AxeBuffShare

Alongside the various large mythic and legendary updates, we’re also making a slew of efficiency-focused changes to epic items. Hearthbound Axe was one underperforming epic that’s received efficiency buffs.

PCHullbreakerBuffShare

Hullbreaker is a mostly unused item that is sitting alone on the shop keeper’s shelf unless a stray Yorick decides to pick it up. We’re trying a light reshape and significant buff to the item while avoiding making it a first rush item again.

PCLocket of the Iron SolariBuffShare

Locket is currently performing well on live, filling a unique spot as a support damage mitigation tool. Therefore, we’re opting to just give it a small cost adjustment while maintaining the current state of the item.

PCLord Dominik's RegardsBuffShare

Lord Dominik’s now multiplies magic damage through its passive effect, which just makes it feel a bit better for crit users who happen to have some magic damage on their kits or items. LD sends his regards.

PCMercurial ScimitarBuffShare

Mercurial Scimitar is nearly never purchased and could stand to receive a small buff. There’s still a massive damage loss compared to an offensive-oriented item but now it gives enough MR to be worth considering in a few more situations.

PCMikael's BlessingBuffShare

For Mikael’s, we just have a few recipe adjustments and we’re adding a bit more power into the active heal.

PCMortal ReminderBuffShare

Mortal Reminder fares much, much worse than Lord Dominik’s Regards and feels like a punishment if a crit user is the one applying Grievous Wounds. A simple stat buff hopefully brings it closer to parity with LDR.

PCPhantom DancerBuffShare

In an effort to make window shopping more intuitive for crit users, Phantom Dancer has been increased to 2800 gold with a small stat increase to go alongside it.

PCRabadon's DeathcapBuffShare

Deathcap is currently a bit underpowered despite it being such a key item for Mage satisfaction. Mages should feel like this is a very powerful choice in most games that go long, and sometimes even in relatively short games when they’re doing well, so we’re making this hat just a tad more magical for its users.

PCRedemptionBuffShare

Redemption is another item that’s seeing some recipe adjustments and getting a bit more strength for its healing.

PCRunaan's HurricaneBuffShare

Hurricane has grown to 2800 gold to help place it in direct consideration with other marksman items. On-hit damage with less attack speed should help it find a home in on-hit builds that risk over-capping their attack speed, while an increased AD ratio on the bolts should help it find a home in more crit-focused builds. The rules update around finding minions to hit is meant to reduce the number of cases where no additional bolts fire.

PCStaff of Flowing WaterBuffShare

Like Ardent Censer, we’re putting more power into the passive and adding movement speed so that it’s easier to keep up with the teammates you’ll be supporting.

PCSterak's GageBuffShare

Sterak's Gage should be an essential item for Juggernauts and other Fighter front-liners, and it has struggled to fill that role since the item update. We’re adding back one of the properties that was cut from the item to make it feel like more of a complete purchase.

PCStridebreakerBuffShare

Buffing Stridebreaker up to Sunderer's power level (which wasn’t at 9000 btw).

PCThe CollectorBuffShare

The Collector is another item getting some simple buffs to make it more attractive. Its strong early stat profile should make it enticing for anyone trying to push an early lane lead into a game-winning snowball.

PCTrinity ForceBuffShare

We’re buffing Trinity Force to better match Sunderer, and adding a QOL buff to Threefold Strikes to match Conqueror’s duration and limit how many things you have to track. The trigger conditions aren't quite the same, but they should line up fairly often now.

PCAbyssal MaskNerfShare

Abyssal Mask’s cost has been reduced and recipe has been changed in order to be a more effective Magic Resist option for Support Tanks.

PCFimbulwinterNerfShare

In this patch we’re giving Fimbulwinter a quality of life buff by removing the mana requirement from the shield. The shield originally drained mana when it activated because we were worried that the item needed a limiter. After seeing the state of the item on live for a while, we believe it no longer needs that limiter to keep the item in check.

PCForce of NatureNerfShare

This item is simply too strong as a single item resist purchase as it can give over 50% total damage reduction by itself. We’re aiming to reduce its overall value and particularly reduce how effective it is against a single mage. Dissipate should not be activated by a single burst mage combo.

PCGaleforceNerfShare

Galeforce is the one crit mythic item that’s remaining mythic. The opportunity cost of Infinity Edge, Quickblades, or Rageblade is meaningful in terms of DPS but if your path to victory is through helping assassinate a squishy champion (or not being assassinated yourself), 90% DPS is much better than 0%. The specific numbers on Galeforce land it squarely stronger than the old version against squishies but requires building more crit chance to make use of that power, which should help keep it from being poached by assassins.

PCImmortal ShieldbowNerfShare

Demoting Immortal Shieldbow to a legendary item meant trimming its statline down somewhat. Shieldbow makes sense as a generically-accessible source of anti-burst for crit users, so it’s got an easy-to-appreciate stat profile of attack damage. One note of caution: Shieldbow is not meant to be bought early as its shield does not increase until level 12.

PCKircheis ShardNerfShare

Energize’s effect of infrequent big hits feels more at home with attack damage being its core stat instead of attack speed. There are several other Energize items getting updates in this patch that embrace this change as well. Kircheis is also getting a small increase to its gold efficiency as the item isn’t very strong in the live game.

PCKnight's VowNerfShare

We’re reducing the cost and changing the item recipe and stats to a more accessible build that integrates Lifewell Pendant. We’re also introducing a slight nerf to the passive redirection from post-mitigation (after resists are applied) to pre-mitigation (before resists). The end result is that Knight's Vow users will take a bit more true damage when redirecting damage for allies while still protecting them the same amount.

PCNoonquiverNerfShare

Noonquiver no longer builds into any Mythic items. That’s it. That’s the update. Don’t buy it expecting to build into a Mythic. Because it won’t.

PCRadiant VirtueNerfShare

Radiant Virtue is still positioned as an item for top and jungle tanks, but by lowering its cost we’re hoping to open it up as a greedy Support item purchase for those looking to snowball their leads.

PCRapid FirecannonNerfShare

Rapid Firecannon’s purpose is to land individual snipes from out of range of counter-attack and so its stat profile has been updated to reinforce that niche. The significant price increase retains a similar level of gold efficiency.

PCRecurve BowNerfShare

Recurve Bow is another epic item being retuned to bring the gold efficiency of components closer together. Shrinking it also allows its placement in more legendary items without having to retune those numbers. Moving its on-hit damage to magic is an experiment in making on-hit effects more noticeable.

PCZealNerfShare

While several epic items were buffed as they were lacking in gold efficiency, Zeal was far too powerful. Yes, it’s receiving a cost increase, Attack Speed decrease, and Movement Speed decrease, but these changes are all pretty small. The hopeful result is that all of these epics feel appropriately powerful without the shop tricking you.

PCBloodthirsterChangeShare

With Immortal Shieldbow moving to a Legendary slot for all crit users, Bloodthirster needs a new niche within the life steal item space. So, buying BT is a shot call that you’ll remain healthy and undisturbed on the back line and helps top off your health between engagements.

PCChemtech PutrifierChangeShare

Reducing the overall cost of Chemtech Putrifier so that it’s more affordable as an item within the overall support itemization pool. We’re happy with the item not being a “must purchase”, but in its current state it’s just a tad weak.

PCDivine SundererChangeShare

We’re nerfing Sunderer to be less of a Tank counter especially in lane, and ideally less of a general pick up because it’s simply strong.

PCEvenshroudChangeShare

For Evenshroud we have a cost and recipe adjustment to bring it in line with the rest of the Support ecosystem. We’ll be keeping an eye on the satisfaction surrounding this item and Zeke's to see if there are any improvements we can do in the future.

PCGuinsoo's RagebladeChangeShare

Guinsoo’s Rageblade is back as the pinnacle hybrid on-hit item! Many of its old rules like extra on-hits and converting crit chance into on-hit damage are still in place. But now it has a specific focus on enabling hybrid damage champions through its mixed-penetration mythic passive (since neither Void Staff nor Last Whisper upgrades typically make sense on such champions.)

PCImperial MandateChangeShare

Imperial Mandate was shifted down to a Legendary tier item to open up the amount of champs that would want to purchase this item, but weren’t willing to give up their preferred Mythic in exchange. It should now be a great option for offensive enchanters for when they want to help allies burst down targets in teamfights.

PCInfinity EdgeChangeShare

Across League’s lifetime, Infinity Edge has almost always been a mythic item for AD Carries in everything but name, so now we’re just making it official. It’s got a simple stat profile and a simple purpose: Deal up to 20% more auto-attack damage based on your critical strike chance. It’s good at it. The Mythic Passive is intentionally pretty bland because IE already does a great job of making your other items feel awesome.

PCKraken SlayerChangeShare

Kraken Slayer went through several iterations finding its new home as a Legendary item before landing on this version. Ultimately, Kraken is meant to be an incredible early item for high attack speed champions that still holds up late. Its damage ramping up against a target helps it retain a bit of that anti-tank flavor, but make no mistake: it’s no replacement for Lord Dominik’s Regards for tank-busting.

PCLost ChapterChangeShare

We’re aiming to help Mages with an earlier power spike in their laning phase to keep up with the opposition in solo queue. We want to acknowledge some risk to this change given Mages already tend to be the top performers in pro play, so we’ll be keeping an eye out.

PCMaw of MalmortiusChangeShare

Mages have options to play around Maw of Malmortius, but it should be a bit easier to wait out the shield and we want to give opponents a longer window to play around this item once the shield has triggered.

PCMoonstone RenewerChangeShare

Echoes of Helia and the older Moonstone have a pretty big overlap as items that enhance your healing (even if Echoes had a damage output). Ultimately, this should help Moonstone feel like your actions influence how it impacts a fight as opposed to the healing happening on auto pilot. Now both items should be useful in different scenarios, Moonstone Renewer is a safer, chain-healing item whereas Echoes is for when you want to fight and provide more damage.

PCProwler's ClawChangeShare

Prowler's Claw was the first item to give every champion a targeted dash, which unlocked amazing new combos and introduced a skill-intensive item for players to show off their outplay potential. However, its consistent target-access ended up limiting how we could balance and design champions. Some, such as Talon and Rek'Sai, were designed with huge payoffs if they could use their mobility skills to get into melee range. With the addition, this trivialized one part of the "challenge", meaning we had to nerf the payoff or nerf the mobility. We're making the call to remove the dash from Prowler's and promote Ghostblade to Mythic with the aim to maintain three exciting Mythic choices for Assassins followed by more niche Lethality Legendaries that each succeed in their own roles.

PCRageknifeChangeShare

Rageknife has been remade to fit in with the new version of Guinsoo’s Rageblade, providing a smaller version of the ramping attack speed effect.

PCShurelya's BattlesongChangeShare

Shurelya's is currently one of the strongest support items in terms of satisfaction, so we didn't want to fix something that wasn’t broken. We ultimately reduced the total cost, shaved off some AP, and took some power out of the passive so that Shurelya’s lines up with the rest of the support items.

PCStatikk ShivChangeShare

Statikk Shiv is back!!!!!! Shiv is meant to be the premier wave-clear item for crit users. Its damage scales up about as fast as minion health does and deals a moderate amount of damage to champions as well, though much less than PVP-focused items like Stormrazor. A note on Energize stacking: All Energize items stack in the most linear way possible: The first target hit takes the normal effects from each Energize item. Statikk Shiv’s bounces only apply Shiv’s damage to additional targets.

PCStormrazorChangeShare

Stormrazor has found a new life as an early PVP-focused legendary crit item. Its early damage is roughly in line with the last version of the item and the added damage scaling should help it remain valuable later on as well. The slow has been transformed into a selfish move speed buff, which enables either a swift disengage or the ability to close the gap for further damage, maybe with a Rapid Firecannon?

PCVigilant WardstoneChangeShare

Vigilant was changed from an auto-upgrade from Watchful Wardstone into a gold sink as a result of the general cost of support items shifting downwards. This is intended to be a strong late-game item for those games where your inventory gets full and you still want to be able to buy control wards.

PCWatchful WardstoneChangeShare

With the cost of items going down, there was a need to create a late game gold sink for when your inventory is full. Watchful and Vigilant Wardstone is intended to be that later game gold sink for Supports. We also smoothed out Blessing of Ixtal so you get a smaller bonus with Watchful Wardstone, just in case you want to buy the item a little earlier in the mid-game.

PCYoumuu's GhostbladeChangeShare

Youmuu's has always been a staple of the Assassin item system. With Prowler's being moved to a Legendary item, we're polishing Youmuu's into a shiny new Mythic. This item should excel for Assassins who want to invest into upfront burst and high map mobility. If you're looking for more extended fights or to finish off low health targets, Eclipse and Duskblade will be the better options.

PCZeke's ConvergenceChangeShare

For Zeke’s, we just have some cost, stat, and recipe adjustments to bring it in line with the rest of the support items. We’re looking at doing improvements on this item in the future depending on how this update lands.
