General

  • •Total cost reduced to 1100 gold from 1200 gold.
  • •Combine cost reduced to 450 gold from 550 gold.
Stridebreaker LoL ItemPCStridebreakerBuff

Stridebreaker is an item that should be an appealing purchase for low mobility fighters who benefit from the added mobility and target access that it provides. While it is serving this niche for juggernauts like Garen and Sett, data shows that the item is still weak and has room for some additional feels good changes.

General

  • •Total cost reduced to 3000 gold from 3100 gold.

Bloodsong LoL ItemPCBloodsongNerf

Bloodsong has contributed pretty heavily to the amount of burst in the game at the moment, which is something we’re aiming to correct here. We believe Spellblade is important for this item’s feel, so we’re nerfing the aspect that’s much harder for supports to appreciate.

General

  • •Expose Weakness damage amplification reduced to 10% from 12%.
Death's Dance LoL ItemPCDeath's DanceNerf

General

  • •Combine cost increased to 1000 gold from 900 gold.
  • •Total cost unchanged.
Frozen Heart LoL ItemPCFrozen HeartNerf

  • •Total cost increased to 2400 gold from 2300 gold.

  • •Bug Fix: Can no longer improperly target non-champions with the nearby-target-search that was recently added to the active effect.
Riftmaker LoL ItemPCRiftmakerNerf

Riftmaker’s users are generally overperforming, and Riftmaker is one of the stronger items for these champions like Kayle, Singed, Mordekaiser, etc. In order to bring it down a notch we’re making a generic cost nerf here to increase cost diversity as these champs have a lot of options at the 3000 gold price point.

General

  • •Total cost increased to 3100 gold from 3000 gold.
  • •Combine cost increased to 900 gold from 800 gold.
Stormsurge LoL ItemPCStormsurgeNerf

Stormsurge has been a major contributor to the increased burst damage in the game, and it’s certainly a significant contributor to the time to kill speed for AP assassins. It’s also still quite powerful after the hotfix nerf, so we’re looking to decrease its scaling/multiplicative snowballing power via the AP ratio while maintaining the item as a good early power spike.

General

  • •Ability power reduced to 90 from 100.
  • •Squall AP ratio reduced to 20% AP from 30% AP.
  • •Bug Fix: No longer improperly deals the damage to the user if it hit Neeko clone from her Shapesplitter.
