Items
General
- •New Recipe: Steel Sigil + Caulfield's Warhammer + Pickaxe + 125 gold = 3200 gold.
- •Old Recipe: Steel Sigil + Caulfield's Warhammer + 1000 gold = 3200 gold.
- •Attack damage increased to 60 from 55.
- •Defy bonus AD ratio increased to 75% bonus AD from 50% bonus AD.
General
- •New Effect: Focused Will can now only gain 1 stack per unique ability cast per second.
Eclipse is currently the best-performing first slot fighter item, so we’re taking a little bit off the front-end burst in order to open up some alternative itemization options. It’ll still be the earliest power spike you can receive with its low 2800 gold price point but now it won’t be able to let you win the lane quite as hard.
General
- •Ever Rising Moon damage reduced to 6% of target's maximum health from 8%.
We’re making a small change to Hexdrinker because we’re making a bigger change to Maw of Malmortius (read more on that directly below). Our main goal here is to make MR fighter items less oppressive against AP champions while maintaining them as effective item options. For Hexdrinker, we’re simply buffing the build path while nerfing the MR which shouldn’t change too much.
General
- •New Recipe: Long Sword + Null-Magic Mantle + Long Sword + 150 gold = 1300 gold.
- •Old Recipe: Long Sword + Null-Magic Mantle + 500 gold = 1300 gold.
- •Magic resistance reduced to 30 from 35.
Sundered Sky, along with Sterak’s and Eclipse, is another of the best-performing fighter items. We’re bringing down its teamfight output a little by reducing the healing and how often it can be procced in a fight.
General
- •Lightshield Strike per-target cooldown increased to 8 seconds from 6.
- •Lightshield Strike heal AD ratio reduced to 120% base AD from 140%.
General
- •Now builds into Maw of Malmortius.
General
- •Bug Fix: Minion XP penalty no longer remains after the item is sold or refunded immediately after purchase/without it ever being used.
General
- •Bug Fix: Damage mitigation VFX is no longer visible to the enemy team.
General
- •No longer builds into Maw of Malmortius.
We’re reshaping Maw this patch by trying to make it a powerful light fighter item (think Riven or Fiora). Omnivamp is a much more attractive stat than life steal for these fighters and some added Ability Haste should sweeten the offer. On the flip side, we’re bringing down the MR in order to make it a more clearly aggressive purchase. We also want to load its defensive power into more burst resistance and less of shutting down a mage in the 1v1. Ideally, mages can wait out the shield duration and then resume their assault while light fighters can feel like this is a more worthwhile purchase.
