Sunfire AegisGeneral
- •Released April 22, 2021 (00:01 UTC).
Corki’s mail route stops by the Rift a bit too often. We’re giving him a bit of a break between deliveries with the goal to give him and his opponents a bit of breathing room.
Hextech Munitions
- •The Package respawn time increased from 100 seconds to 150.
Diana’s weak across the board, so we’re shifting some of the rank-up power from (3) Lunar Rush into (2) Pale Cascade alongside some general buffs. These changes will help her survive the laning phase and push her advantage when she gets ahead.
Stats
- •Base health increased from 570 to 610.
Moonsilver Blade
- •New Effect: After casting an ability, Diana gains 30 to 120% (based on level) bonus attack speed for the next 3 basic attacks.
Crescent Strike
- •Cooldown reduced from 10/9/8/7 seconds to 9/8/7/6.
Pale Cascade
- •Cooldown reduced from 14 seconds at all ranks to 13/11.5/10/8.5.
Lunar Rush
- •Removed: No longer grants bonus attack speed after casting an ability on her next 3 basic attacks.
Moonfall
- •Minimum base damage from 150/200/250 increased to 175/225/275.
- •Minimum AP ratio increased from 35% AP to 40%.
- •Maximum base damage increased from 300/400/500 to 350/450/550.
- •Maximum AP ratio increased from 70% AP to 80%.
Leona’s not quite shining as a crowd controlling support tank yet, so we’re lowering the cooldowns of her core lockdown combo.
Shield of Daybreak
- •Cooldown reduced from 6 seconds to 5.
Zenith Blade
- •Cooldown reduced from 13/12/11/10 seconds to 12/10/8/6.
We’re happy with Pantheon’s mini-rework from Patch 2.2, but he could still use a few more tools in his arsenal. These adjustments should help him maintain his ability to carry an early game lead into a W.
Stats
- •Base attack damage increased from 58 to 64.
- •Attack damage growth increased from 2.65 to 3.6.
Comet Spear
- •Tap base damage increased from 55/100/145/190 to 70/110/150/190.
- •Charge base damage increased from 55/100/145/190 to 70/110/150/190.
- •Bonus AD ratio increased from 100% bonus AD to 110%.
- •Critical strike bonus AD ratio increased from 150% bonus AD to 165%.
We’re cautiously buffing Tristana as she’s still not matching up to the rest of the marksman roster.
Stats
- •Attack damage growth increased from 2.65 to 3.6.
Explosive Charge
- •Cooldown reduced from 16 seconds at all ranks to 16/15/14/13.
For a tanky supportive champ, Alistar’s dealing too much damage, particularly to turrets. Using (2) Headbutt to attack turrets (did you know you could do that?) should be a bit more of a conscious choice.
Headbutt
- •Base damage reduced from 55/130/205/280 to 50/120/190/260.
- •Damage against turrets reduced from 150% to 75%.
Mundo buy Sunfire Aegis. Mundo burn down entire jungle and enemy team. Mundo need time out.
Stats
- •Base attack damage reduced from 64 to 58.
- •Base health reduced from 690 to 650.
- •Base armor reduced from 45 to 40.
Masochism
- •Duration reduced from 5 seconds at all ranks to 3/3.5/4/4.5.
Much like his iconic ultimate, Galio arrived with a bang and disrupted the meta significantly. We’re toning back his damage across the board, and shortening his (3) Justice Punch range based on feedback that it felt a little long.
Stats
- •Base health reduced from 610 to 570.
Colossal Smash
- •Cooldown increased from 5/4/3 (at level 1/5/9) seconds to 5/4.5/4 (at level 1/5/9).
- •Base damage reduced from 15 to 225 (based on level) to 15 to 190 (based on level).
Winds of War
- •Percent health AP ratio reduced from 2% per 100 AP to 1.5%.
Shield of Durand
- •Cooldown increased from 15/14/13/12 seconds to 18/17/16/15.
- •AP ratio reduced from 60% AP to 45%.
Justice Punch
- •Dash range reduced from 650 to 575.
Vi has been a popular and reliable pick in high-level games, but on the strong side in regular play. These changes allow her to keep her reliable gank patterns, but at a slightly higher risk.
Stats
- •Base armor reduced from 35 to 30.
Assault and Battery
- •Cooldown increased from 85/65/45 seconds to 95/75/55.
Blitzcrank has been slightly underperforming for a while now, so we’re reverting some of the nerfs he received last year. These changes, combined with the recent tank item update, should give him a healthier space in the support roster.
Rocket Grab
- •Base damage increased from 60/120/180/240 to 80/140/200/260.
Overdrive
- •Self-slow duration reduced from 1.5 seconds to 1.
Shyvana’s got it all: tankiness, high damage, she’s a freakin’ dragon. In the absence of Davion, we’re cutting down her damage and health.
Stats
- •Base health reduced from 650 to 610.
Twin Bite
- •Cooldown increased from 8/7/6/5 seconds to 9/8/7/6.
Flame Breath
- •On-hit damage health ratio increased from 3.5% target's maximum health to 3%.
Items
Bug Fix:
- •Upgrade cost now displays correctly at 500 gold instead of 800 gold.
General
- •Total cost increased from 2850 gold to 3150 gold.
- •Combine cost increased from 650 gold to 950 gold.
Unique passive - Immolate
- •Base damage increased from 16 to 30 (based on level) to 16 to 25 (based on level).
- •Health ratio reduced from 1% bonus health to 0.8%.
