Mystic Shot doesn’t hit as hard as we want it to, especially in the early part of the laning pase, so we’re giving Ezreal a small damage buff to lend him a hand.
Mystic Shot
- •Base damage increased from 20/55/90/125 to 30/65/100/135.
Many Rakan players were not aware that his Gleaming Quill range increased with spell rank, but due to the range increase the first rank range had to be low enough that the spell wasn’t able to be used in lane. We’re looking to enable Rakan to be more effective in the early laning phase and have him not have to invest extra points into the Quill early on, so we’re flattening the range and increasing the base damage.
Gleaming Quill
- •Missle range changed from 700/800/900/1000 to 800 at all ranks.
- •Base damage increased from 70/130/190/250 to 80/140/200/260.
Senna has been struggling to find her footing and pick up wins across the board. So, we’re giving her a hug, and granting Last Embrace more damage and improving the cooldown on Curse of the Black Mist so that she can have more access to giving her team some extra mobility.
Last Embrace
- •Base damage increased from 70/130/190/250 to 90/155/220/285.
Curse of the Black Mist
- •Cooldown reduced from 26/24/22/20 seconds to 22/20/18/16.
Seraphine’s ability to strike a chord, sing those sweet melodies, and cast spells in the early stages of the game is under where we’d like, particularly in the support role. To lend this star a hand, we’re giving her some extra mana regeneration so she can cast more freely.
Stats
- •Base mana regeneration incresaed from 12 to 16.
We’ve noticed that Shen players have been struggling to push waves, in ways that we don’t believer are appropriate even though he isn’t intended to have very strong waveclear. To open up more build paths for this stealthy kinko, we’re adding splash damage to Twilight Assault itself, which should also make the ability more satisfying to use.
Twilight Assault
- •New effect: Applies 50% damage to Melee attack cleave.
Battle Fury
- •New effect: Critical strike chance over 100% is converted to 0.8 AD per 1% critical strike chance.
Way of the Wanderer
- •New effect: Critical strike chance over 100% is not increased by Intent, but is converted to 0.8 AD per 1% critical strike chance.
After a series of nerfs, Ziggs is in a place where he could use a spark of help. We’re looking to light a fuse and give him the ability to cast more spells and also grant him some extra mana regeneration so he doesn’t need to invest in it so much.
Stats
- •Base mana increased from 435 to 460.
- •Base mana regeneration increased from 12 to 16.
We’ve had our eye on Janna, and she has been overperforming in higher ranks, so the winds of change are coming. We’re hitting the scaling on Zephyr and the charge damage on Howling Gale, so that Janna can’t blow her foes away as easily.
Howling Gale
- •Charge damage reduced from 20/25/30/35 to 15/20/25/30.
Zephyr
- •Bonus movement speed reduced from 6/8/10/12% to 6/7/8/9%.
Since her release Vex has been on the strong side, so we’re trimming some power away from Looming Darkness to make it a little more difficult for her to snowball in lane or through those mid-game skirmishes while preserving her fun high moments…or whatever.
Looming Darkness
- •Cooldown increased from 12 seconds to 13.
- •Mana cost increased from 70/80/90/100 to 80/90/100/110.
General
- •: New voice-over.
Piltover Peacemaker
- •Cast time changed from 0.64 seconds to 0.64-X (based on bonus attack speed).
Irelia’s dash is a powerful tool that you can use to stick to your target, but the way that it currently follows enemy movement is over the top. We’re making Irelia’s dash function closer to how you’d expect.
Bladesurge
- •Dash now travels to the target's last location instead of current location.
Kassadin has been harder to master, but is still a force to be reckoned with in the right hands. We’re giving a slight boost to his base health so players have a little more room for error, while also pulling back on the damage amp that Force Pulse grants. Looks like the force won’t be with him after all.
Stats
- •Base health increased from 570 to 600.
Force Pulse
- •Damage amplification reduced from 60% to 40%.
The previous changes to Lux made her a force to be reckoned with in the Mid Lane, but she isn’t scaling as well as we’d like in the Support role. We’re redistributing some of the power around her kit to get her into a better place in both roles and reach new lights.
Prismatic Barrier
- •Base first shield changed from 50/70/90/110 to 40/70/100/130.
- •First shield AP ratio reduced from 20% AP to 15%.
- •Base second shield changed from 100/140/180/220 to 80/140/200/260.
- •Second shield AP ratio reduced from 40% AP to 30%.
Final Spark
- •AP ratio reduced from 80% AP to 75%.
Double Daggers
- •Cast time changed from 0.25 seconds to 0.25 to 0.1 (based on bonus attack speed).
Despite recent changes, Yone is still performing above our expectations, particularly in higher levels of play. To address this, we’re reducing how much damage he can do with Spirit Cleave and lowering the frequency that he can assault his foes with Soul Bound.
Way of the Hunter
- •New effect: Critical strike chance over 100% is not increased by Intent, but is converted to 0.8 AD per 1% critical strike chance.
Spirit Cleave
- •Base damage reduced from 20/30/40/50 to 10/20/30/40.
Soul Unbound
- •Cooldown increased from 20/17/14/11 seconds to 20/18/16/14.
Items
Mage players have been asking for more options in their build paths, so we’re here to deliver with a new take on Horizon Focus from League PC. You’ll find our new version to be useful for mages, especially those with reliable crowd control effects to take advantage of the stacking passive.
Recipe:
- •Fiendish Codex + Haunting Guise + 700 gold = 2800 gold.
Stats:
- •15 ability haste, 80 ability power, 150 health.
Unique Passive - Hypershot:
- •Apply a stack of Hypershot upon dealing ability damage to a champion with an ability that is neither unit-targeted nor auto-targeted from at least 500 units away. Immobilizing enemy champions from any distance will apply 2 stacks. The third stack will consume them all to deal 80 (+20% AP) magic damage and apply another stack. Stacks last 5 seconds and refresh on subsequent hits.
Recipe:
- •Last Whisper + Cloak of Agility + 1000 gold = 3100 gold.
Stats:
- •35 attack damage, 25% critical strike chance.
Unique Passive - Last Whisper:
- •+16 to 30% (based on level) armor penetration.
Unique Passive - Rapid Shot:
- •While out of combat from champions, your next basic attack against an enemy champion gains 80% bonus attack speed.
- •Editor's Note: Patch notes error writes "Adrenaline" instead of "Rapid Shot".
As a competitor to Trinity Force, Divine Sunderer has been losing a bit of its sheen. We’re buffing it up to give it the polish it deserves.
General
- •Ability haste increased from 20 to 25.
- •Attack damage increased from 20 to 25.
Youmuu’s is in a decent spot power wise, but we’re making it a more attractive purchase by lowering its price a tad.
General
- •Total cost reduced from 3000 gold to 2900 gold.
- •Combine cost reduced from 800 gold to 700 gold.
Awakened Soulstealer has been an item that has been under the radar and underutilized for a while, because of its fellow competitors in the mana category, like Seraph’s and Luden’s. To help it out, we’re moving it to the penetration category instead of the mana category and revamping the passive to make it more about aggression and snowballing.
New:
- •Recipe: Prophet's Pendant + Fiendish Codex + 750 gold = 3000 gold.
- •Stats: 20 ability haste, 65 ability power, 150 health.
- •Unique Passive - Soul Hunt: +15 magic penetration.
- •Unique Passive - Soulflare: Takedowns against enemy champions within 3 seconds of damaging them will reduce your abilities' remaining cooldowns by 20%.
Old:
- •Recipe: Lost Chapter + Fiendish Codex + 450 gold = 2500 gold.
- •Stats: 25 ability haste, 70 ability power, 200 mana.
- •Unique Passive - Soul Charged: Unique champion takedowns grant 3 ultimate haste, capping at 15 after 5 stacks. Ultimate haste reduces the cooldown of your ultimate as ability haste would.

Now that we have Soulstealer in the penetration category, we can unbind Morellonomicon from that category, which will make it more accessible for enchanters and mages that don’t want to invest in only damage items. This less expensive item should be an easy way for Ability Power champions to counter healing in situations where they need it, without breaking the bank.
New recipe:
- •Fiendish Codex + Oblivion Orb + 700 gold = 2500 gold.
- •Old recipe: Oblivion Orb + Prophet's Pendant + 950 gold = 3000 gold.
