This patch we're making a few adjustments to Voidgrubs. First, we're pushing the spawn time up a minute. This is intended to line their spawn time up with when solo laners hit level 6 so they can contest the objective in a more meaningful way. We'd also like to differentiate its spawn time from dragon to create more tension for competing teams since the objectives can no longer be traded on spawn. The respawn timer change should also lower the value of—or at least delay—sending your bot lane up to top in order to reign over the grubbies. Second, we believe the reward itself should be more powerful, so we're buffing both the stack amount and the summon threshold.

- •Initial Voidgrub Spawn Time: 5 → 6 minutes
- •Touch of the Void Damage per Stack: 6 (halved to 3 for ranged champions) true damage per second over 4 seconds → 8 (halved to 4 for ranged champions)
