Boots of Swiftness are a bit overpowered relative to other boots, leading to champions zipping around combat more than we’d like. Ultimately, we’re going with a small direct nerf that should keep it in line with other boot options.
General
- •Movement speed reduced to 55 from 60.
Rod of Ages’ new build path has made it overtake mage mana itemization, and as a result, its high durability has slowed down champion interactions below what we think makes for the best gameplay. We think as a whole, mages are rather balanced and we intend to ship a larger pass on mage itemization to make sure all AP items are worthy of purchasing in an upcoming patch, but right now we want to tap the newly-popular Rod of Ages to make sure bursty champions can attack more normal-sized health pools.
General
- •Ability power reduced to 45 from 50.
- •Health reduced to 350 from 400.
General
- •Combine cost reduced to 500 gold from 750 gold.

- •Noxian Synchrony movement speed ratio reduced to 8% total movement speed from 10%.
General
- •Combine cost reduced to 500 gold from 750 gold.
- •Total cost reduced to 1600 gold from 1850 gold.
- •Percentage magic penetration reduced to 7% from 8%.
Symbiotic Soles are a solid option for supports, which we’re very happy about, but they’re too game-warping for laners, as the empowered Recall lets them quickly reset every few waves, removing all sense of attrition. So we’re making some adjustments to retain their power for roaming around the map but make them worse when spamming Recall over and over.
General
- •New Unique Passive - Synchrony: Gain 10 bonus movement speed while out-of-combat.
- •Removed Unique Passive - Voidborn: Gain Empowered Recall.
General
- •Bug Fix: Practice Makes Lethal no longer fails to gain stacks from certain empowered attacks of champion abilities that would otherwise be able to trigger on-attack effects.
