Items
While we're nerfing Solstice Sleigh this patch (more on that below), we want to also give Celestial Opposition a bit more power to help dethrone Sleigh's position as the premier tank support item as simply nerfing Sleigh wouldn't quite be enough to close the gap between the two. We're primarily targeting melee-specific outputs as we don't want it to become dominant on enchanters.
General
- •Blessing of the Mountain cooldown reduced to 18 seconds from 20.
- •Blessing of the Mountain slow increased to 60% from 50%.
- •Blessing of the Mountain slow duration increased to 2 seconds from 1.5.
General
- •New Effect: Soul Shards can now be consumed to trigger the heal on allies even if there are no nearby enemies.
- •Bug Fix: Soul Siphon is now properly triggered upon granting a shield to an ally even if they are at full health.
Our goal with these Shojin changes is to make it synergize better with champions that should be primary users of the items, so these should help move it in the right direction for those champs. (Note: This change was implemented in Patch 14.4.)
General
- •New Effect: Abilities can now only grant 1 stack per cast, up to 1 per second for damage over time effects.
- •New Effect: Empowered attacks granted by abilities now grant a stack on-damage and benefit from the damage amplification.
- •Bug Fix: Damage dealt by champion passives no longer incorrectly grant stacks.
General
- •Movement speed increased to 8% from 5%.
Based on our reads back in Patch 14.1, Sunfire Aegis was over performing and required a tap down in power. However, now that the dust has settled, it's become apparent that these nerfs weren't necessary, so we're walking them back now.
General
- •Health increased to 500 from 450.
- •Immolate base damage increased to 15 from 12.
Frozen Heart is currently the most built tank item in the game. For a niche item that is hyper focused on hampering one specific style of one damage type, that means the item is overperforming. This patch we're nerfing Frozen Heart's more generic strengths in order to preserve its usefulness as a specific counter as opposed to a generic tank item.
General
- •Total cost increased to 2500 gold from 2400 gold.
- •Combine cost increased to 600 gold from 500 gold.
- •Armor reduced to 65 from 70.
General
- •Spellblade AP ratio reduced to 45% AP from 50% AP.
Solstice Sleigh is currently sleighing as the best tank support upgrade option, outperforming Celestial Opposition by a large margin. In order to bring this item into line with other options we need to bring its power down.
General
- •Tracker now refers to activations as sleigh rides.
- •Going Sledding cooldown increased to 30 seconds from 20.
- •Going Sledding bonus movement speed reduced to 25% from 30%.

General
- •Bug Fix: Upgrade VFX no longer appears on clones if the original user had already upgraded the item.
Following up on our work last patch, we're continuing to retune the support items to make their power spikes less immediate and, in exchange, making their scaling into the late game more powerful and we expect these changes to scaling to do just that. As a whole, we hope these changes will be slightly power positive on most enchanters.
General
- •Blue Dream Bubble damage reduction changed to 75 to 255 (based on user's level) from 140 at all levels.
- •Purple Dream Bubble bonus damage changed to 50 to 170 (based on user's level) from 90 at all levels.
General
- •Bug Fix: Movement speed buff no longer decays faster than intended.
Heartsteel currently isn't worth purchasing on many champions, even those with respectable health ratios or easy access to the gameplay pattern this item is built to support. In this patch we'll be buffing the item's scaling while keeping the early game similar to let players live their best bonking fantasy. (Note: the tooltip in 14.5 will not reflect this change, but we're working on having it corrected in 14.6.)
