Items
Our reworked Axiom Arc changes weren’t quite enough to put this new item on the radar for users, so we’re going a bit riskier with the ultimate cooldown refund in hopes it’ll help the item find its place on the Rift. We’ll be keeping a close eye on this change to ensure it’s shaping up as we hope, but we’ll make more changes if necessary.
General
- •Base ultimate cooldown refund increased to 10% from 5%.
Prowler’s Claw’s current cooldown is a bit too long for a lot of users that would like to pick up this item, so we’re lowering the cooldown to help make it a bit more accessible for these champions while slightly increasing the damage it can provide to make it a more worthwhile purchase.
General
- •Cooldown reduced to 5 seconds from 10.
- •Bonus AD ratio increased to 55% bonus AD from 45%.
As far as its assassin users are concerned, Serpent’s Fang is sitting at a reasonable power level but remains a niche purchase, so we’d like to give it some more generic power to help it break out of the "only purchase versus shielders" position it’s found itself in. A small lethality buff should help this item be a bit more desirable for any assassins looking to shred shields.
General
- •Lethality increased to 15 from 12.
Umbral Glaive isn’t as strong as it needs to be, often letting down the champions that this item naturally synergizes with (hello Pyke). We’re giving it a small lethality buff to make it slightly more dangerous in the hands of its users.
General
- •Lethality increased to 13 from 10.
Duskblade frequently finds itself in the hands of fighter champions which is something we’re looking to curb this patch, however, it's also overperforming on assassins in general. The low cooldown on its active is a big reason fighters like this item, so we’re opting to increase the cooldown substantially to discourage them from picking it up, while reducing the missing health damage to bring the item’s overall strength down (which we’ll be offsetting for assassins by buffing the lethality legendaries this patch).
General
- •Cooldown increased to 30 seconds from 10.
- •Nightstalker bonus damage reduced to 0 to 18% (based on target's missing health) from 0 to 20%.
General
- •Bug Fix: Now once again flashes the player's screen in purple to indicate when the item is about to expire.
General
- •Bug Fix: Jungle items no longer reward treats to champions that contributed to an epic monster takedown but were not on the team that slayed the monster.
General
- •Bug Fix: No longer tagged as a magic resistance item for the shop.
General
- •Bug Fix: Now is properly triggered and blocked when a spell is absorbed by a spell shield.
