Youmuu's GhostbladeJarvan’s been underperforming for a while now so we’re giving him some buffs to make him a more worthy contender.
Stats
- •Attack damage growth increased from 3.6 to 4.55.
Martial Cadence
- •New effect: Now deals at least 20 damage.
Dragon Strike
- •Demacian Standard combo hitbox size increased from 200 to 250.
Cataclysm
- •Dash travel time reduced from 0.4 seconds to 0.25.
As mercurial as he is charming, Rakan is an infamous vastayan troublemaker and the greatest battle-dancer in Lhotlan tribal history. To the humans of the Ionian highlands, his name had long been synonymous with wild festivals, uncontrollable parties, and anarchic music. But this energetic, traveling showman has left his old life behind, dedicating himself to the cause of his lover, the rebel Xayah. Together, they seek to free Ionia’s wild magic, restoring the vastaya’s birthright.

Deadly and precise, Xayah is a vastayan revolutionary waging a personal war to save her people. She uses her speed, guile, and razor-sharp feather blades to cut down anyone who stands in her way. Xayah fights alongside her partner and lover, Rakan, to protect their dwindling tribe, and restore their race to her vision of its former glory.
General

Corki isn’t delivering on his high-flyin’, high-falutin’ antics, especially given his identity as a marksman mage. We’re adding a bit of satisfaction to his arsenal.
Phosphorus Bomb
- •AD ratio increased from 50% bonus AD to 70%.
Gatling Gun
- •Total resistance reduction increased from 4/6/8/10 to 8/12/16/20.
Missile Barrage
- •Base damage increased from 80/95/110 to 80/115/150.
- •Big One base damage increased from 160/190/220 to 160/230/300.
- •AD ratio increased from 25% AD at all ranks to 25/45/65%.
- •Big One AD ratio increased from 50% AD at all ranks to 50/90/130%.
Jax has been underperforming in matchups we expect him to be stronger in. Amping up his gap closing so he can snowball better, particularly in situations against squishy ranged champions.
Leap Strike
- •Target range increased from 600 to 650.
- •Cooldown reduced from 9/8/7/6 seconds to 7.5/7/6.5/6.
- •Base damage increased from 55/110/165/220 to 60/115/170/225.
Tristana’s abilities feel very lackluster, and her signature Explosive Charge (3) is not living up to its promise of being a huge nuke when fully stacked. We’re amping up all of her explosive powers to help her keep pace with other bot laners.
Rapid Fire
- •Bonus attack speed increased from 30/50/70/90% to 50/70/90/110%.
- •Duration increased from 5 seconds to 7.
Rocket Jump
- •Base damage increased from 60/130/200/270 to 85/155/225/295.
Explosive Charge
- •Passive base damage increased from 40/70/100/130 to 55/85/115/145.
- •Active base damage increased from 60/70/80/90 to 65/80/95/110.
- •Active AD ratio increased from 50/70/90/110% bonus AD to 55/90/125/160%.
Twisted Fate has been underperforming especially in higher levels of play. We are making it more rewarding to players who are able to select the right card in the right situation.
Pick a Card
- •Blue Card mana restoration increased from 50/65/80/95 to 60/90/120/150.
- •Blue Card AP ratio increased from 50% AP to 80%/AP.
- •Red Card AP ratio increased from 50% AP to 65%/AP.
- •Gold Card stun duration increased from 1/1.25/1.5/1.75 seconds to 1.25/1.5/1.75/2.
Electric ninja rat too strong, especially as a lane bully and burst mage. We’re tuning him down across the board.
Stats
- •Base attack damage reduced from 58 to 52.
- •Base movement speed reduced from 335 to 330.
Electrical Surge
- •Cooldown increased from 12/10/8/6 seconds to 15/12/9/6.
Lightning Rush
- •Base damage reduced from 85/140/195/250 to 70/125/180/235.
- •AP ratio reduced from 80% AP to 70%.
Slicing Maelstrom
- •Base damage reduced from 35/70/105 to 30/60/90.
- •AP ratio reduced from 20% AP to 15%.
Our last changes made it so Sonic Wave (1) sometimes can’t reach a target kicked back by Dragon’s Rage (Ult). We’re adjusting the range to make this combo reliable again. We expect this to be a light nerf, but Lee Sin is for the most part in an okay spot.
Dragon's Rage
- •Knockback range reduced from 750 to 675.
A light nerf to Lulu’s mana and ult to de-enormify her laning power.
Base Stats
- •Mana: 480 → 435
(Ult) Wild Growth
- •Cooldown: 70/60/50s → 85/70/55s
Ori’s Shockwave is available a little too often in the early-to-mid-game.
(Ult) Command: Shockwave
- •Cooldown: 70/60/50s → 85/70/55s
Void Seeker
- •Bug Fix: Now correctly applies Second Skin damage to the target hit.
Yasuo’s ultimate sometimes feels more like a Last Sigh. Currently it feels like it takes too long to complete the animation so we’re speeding it up, and also increasing its damage in the late game.
Last Breath
- •Base damage increased from 200/300/400 to 200/350/500.
- •Duration reduced from 1.5 seconds to 1.25.
- •Knock-up duration reduced from 1.5 seconds to 1.25.
