Turrets & StructuresChampions
Evelynn is homewrecking high-skilled play too ferociously when using her ultimate to steal objectives. Her focus should be on hunting champions, not monsters, so we’re adjusting where the execute damage applies.
Last Caress
- •New Effect: Damage amplification now only applies to champions.
Leona was still feeling under the weather, so we’re giving her a minor buff to help brighten her days in lane. This should help the Radiant Dawn reach her full potential.
Zenith Blade
- •Missile range increased from 750 to 800.
Wukong is still struggling to maintain his presence outside the jungle. We’re increasing his ability to stay healthy in hopes that the Monkey King will be able to rightfully reign his lane.
Crushing Blow
- •Heal against minions increased from 50% to 80%.
Xin Zhao has been underperforming since his rework to match PC. We’re buffing the Seneschal of Demacia to help him regain his former glory and we'll be keeping a close eye on his progress.
Stats
- •Base magic resistance increased from 30 to 38.
- •Health growth increased from 105 to 115.
Ahri was charming her foes towards their demise too easily. We’re making her work harder to secure her victims by making the nine-tailed fox a bit more vulnerable.
Stats
- •Base armor reduced from 35 to 30.
Janna has been performing too well when maxing Zephyr first. We are winding down its power so that it doesn’t blow away her other skills.
Zephyr
- •Base damage reduced from 65/125/185/245 to 55/105/155/205.
Katarina’s win rate has climbed to a point where we think it’s no longer healthy given her reset and multi-kill play style. We are giving her a general power down and also reworking how her ultimate interacts with Phase Rush as it was completely nullifying counterplay.
Voracity
- •AP ratio reduced from 58 to 100% (based on level) AP to 48 to 90% (based on level).
Death Lotus
- •New Effect: Now sets her base movement speed to 125 instead of being treated as a slow that could be reduced by slow resistance.
Items
Winter’s Approach has been getting the cold shoulder, so we are increasing the rate it stacks mana to have it come online a bit quicker.
Unique passive - Mana Charge
- •Mana granted per charge increased from 8 to 12.
The fiery power of Bami’s Cinder and Sunfire Aegis is making tank junglers and tanky lane builds far too hot to handle, so we are dowsing its damage against non-champions.
Unique passive - Immolate
- •Damage against minions and monsters reduced from 150% to 125%.
Unique passive - Immolate
- •Damage against minions and monsters reduced from 150% to 125%.
System Changes
Ignite
- •Target range increased from 550 to 600.
Smite
- •New Passive - Recoup: Restore 4 mana per second while in jungle or river.
Gromp
- •Base health reduced from 2500 to 2200.
Krug camp
- •Ancient Krug
- •Base health reduced from 1600 to 1200.
- •Krug
- •Base health reduced from 600 to 500.
We’re re-balancing outer tower gold distribution to be focused on local gold rather than global gold. Players should be rewarded more often for outperforming their opponents in lane, not for their teammates’ performance across the map.
Structures - Turret
- •Gold per turret plate increased from 100 gold to 150 gold.
- •Outer turret global gold reduced from 150 gold to 100 gold.
OUTER TOWER GOLD
- •Gold per plate: 100g → 150g
- •Global gold on destruction: 150g → 100g
