MorellonomiconGeneral
- •Released November 24, 2023 (00:01 UTC).
We noticed that the effect of Darius’ Hemorrhage has not been impactful this patch, which is not ideal since the bleed it provides is essential to his kit. This buff will return Darius to his glorious state. Have fun dunking!
Hemorrhage
- •Base damage per 1 second increased from 2.9 to 7.1 (based on level) to 3 to 8.6 (based on level).
- •Total base damage increased from 14.5 to 35.5 (based on level) to 15 to 43 (based on level).
- •Damage AD ratio per 1 second increased from 6% bonus AD to 8%.
- •Total damage AD ratio increased from 30% bonus AD to 40%.
Decimate
- •Heal increased from 12/24/36% (based on targets hit by the blade) missing health to 15/30/45% (based on targets hit by the blade).
This explorer is struggling to make an impact, especially when compared to his peers. These changes will make his earlier game stronger, helping with those early scraps in the Dragon Lane.
Stats
- •Base attack damage increased from 58 to 62.
Rising Spell Force
- •Attack speed per stack increased from 10% to 13%.
- •Total attack speed increased from 10/20/30/40% (based on stacks) to 13/26/39/52% (based on stacks).
Mystic Shot
- •Cooldown reduced from 5.25/4.5/3.75/3 seconds to 4.5/4/3.5/3.
Is it just us or is Galio a little squishy for someone literally made out of stone? We’ve buffed some base numbers for him and now hopefully he can protect his team as well as he protects Demacia!
Stats
- •Base health increased from 570 to 600.
- •Base armor increased from 30 to 34.
Our blade dancer has been underperforming on the Rift, especially in team fights where she should shine. We think these buffs to her passive and third ability will have her blades run through her enemies faster than you can say “for Ionia”!
Ionian Fervor
- •Bonus damage increased from 30 to 100 (based on level) to 30 to 120 (based on level).
- •Bonus damage AD ratio increased from 25% bonus AD to 30%.
Flawless Duet
- •Cooldown reduced from 13/12/11/10 seconds to 12/11/10/9.
Karma has been having a hard time keeping up with other mages. We’re giving her some buffs across the board to help her be a more valuable and competitive choice in the mid lane.
Inner Flame
- •Cooldown reduced from 10/9/8/7 seconds to 9/8/7/6.
Transcendent Embrace
- •Base damage increased from 150/250/350 to 170/280/390.
- •AP ratio increased from 60% AP to 80%.
Nunu & Willump are having lots of fun together in the jungle but they haven’t been able to go on as many adventures in the lanes. These changes will help them clear the jungle camps faster, freeing up the Boy and the Yeti to join the fun elsewhere!
Consume
- •Cooldown: 11/10/9/8s → 10/9/8/7s
- •Heal: 60/95/130/165 + 70% Ability Power + 9% bonus Health → 80/115/150/185 + 70% Ability Power + 9% bonus Health
Absolute Zero
- •Minimum damage: 130/190/250 + 50% Ability Power → 180/240/300 + 50% Ability Power
- •Maximum damage: 715/1045/1375 + 275% Ability Power → 915/1245/1575 + 275% Ability Power
Is there anything more fun than dropping out of the sky onto your enemies? How about doing it more frequently? Now you can help your teammates more, no matter where you are! We’re not responsible for any motion sickness this may cause.
Grand Starfall
- •Cooldown reduced from 95/85/75 seconds to 90/80/70.
We want Renekton to dash into the fight and slice his foes, but right now he's dying before he gets a chance to. These changes to his ult will let him tank more damage while doing more damage!
Dominus
- •Cooldown reduced from 75 seconds at all ranks to 75/70/65.
- •Bonus health increased from 250/475/700 to 300/525/750.
- •Base damage per 0.5 seconds increased from 25/50/75 to 35/55/75.
- •Total base damage increased from 600/1200/1800 to 840/1320/1800.
Riven hasn’t been able to wield her broken blade in full effectiveness against her opponents. We’re making some adjustments so that she can play a more scrappy style and fight for more early advantages.
Runic Blade
- •Bonus damage increased from 22 to 50% (based on level) AD to 32 to 60% (based on level).
Ki Burst
- •Cooldown reduced from 10/9/8/7 seconds to 8.5/8/7.5/7.
For a Grand General, Swain sure hasn’t been making a Grand Impact. If you have ornithophobia, these changes might not be for you!
Ravenous Flock
- •Health per stack increased from 12 to 16.
Demonic Ascension
- •Heal AP ratio per 0.5 seconds increased from 6% AP to 7.5%.
- •Base damage per 0.5 seconds reduced from 10/20/30 to 7.5/17.5/27.5.
- •Damage AP ratio per 0.5 seconds increased from 5% AP to 7.5%.
It’s always a spooky time around Hecarim. Lately, this horse has been even more spooky since he's been trampling over anyone who comes into his path! These changes will make him easier to deal with, whether you face him in the jungle or he's speeding into your lane for a gank.
Get excited! For some… adjustments. Jinx has been dominating in the Dragon Lane and these changes will give her opponents some room to breathe!
Get Excited!
- •Bonus attack speed reduced from 15% to 12%.
- •Bonus movement speed reduced from 150% to 140%.
Switcheroo!
- •Bonus attack speed per stack changed from 7.5/15/22.5/30% to 8.75/15/21.25/27.5%.
- •Total bonus attack speed changed from 30/60/90/120% to 35/60/85/110%.
- •Fishbones damage reduced from 110% AD to 107%.
Lulu is able to sit back and buff her teammates a safe distance away, which makes her difficult to counter. These changes will balance out some of the utility she is able to provide.
Stats
- •Base armor reduced from 40 to 34.
Help, Pix!
- •Base shield reduced from 75/110/145/180 to 60/100/140/180.
Items
We introduced Chempunk Chainsword in Patch 4.4, but it hasn’t been the most popular purchase since its release. While Grievous Wounds is a more niche pick up, we wanted to make some adjustments so that this item has power outside of just its anti-heal.
General
- •Ability haste increased from 10 to 15.
- •Attack damage increased from 40 to 45.
- •Health increased from 200 to 250.
Crystalline Reflector isn’t as effective as we had hoped it to be against physical damage opponents. These buffs will make it a reliable pickup when you’re struggling against anyone hitting you a little too hard.
General
- •Health increased from 150 to 200.
- •Magic penetration increased from 0% to 7%.
Unique passive - Mirrored Force
- •Physical damage reduction increased from 8 to 15 (based on level) to 8 to 25 (based on level).
Immortal Shieldbow’s unique abilities have been lackluster, making it a less popular pick compared to other physical items. These changes will make it a top pick again for those who need a little more protection.
Unique passive - Lifeline
- •Shield increased from 200 to 500 (based on critical strike chance) to 300 to 600 (based on critical strike chance).
Unique passive - Battle Furor
- •Physical vamp increased from 5% to 8%.
We’ve adjusted some numbers and its cost to make it a more efficient pickup when you’re facing a crit heavy enemy team.
General
- •Total cost reduced from 2900 gold to 2800 gold.
- •Combine cost reduced from 850 gold to 750 gold.
- •Armor increased from 60 to 65.
Unique passive - Determination
- •Damage converted to Determination increased from Melee 20% / Ranged 14% to Melee 25% / Ranged 18%.
Tons of damage, tons of gold? Well…kind of. Right now, we feel Trinity Force isn’t doing as much damage as it should, and it’s also costing too much for what it does, so we’re adjusting both!
General
- •Total cost reduced from 3533 gold to 3333 gold.
- •Combine cost reduced from 433 gold to 233 gold.
- •Attack damage increased from 25 to 30.
Bloodthirster’s build patch is getting updated. We wanted to even out its path so that you can pick a component up every time you return to base, and aren’t left with awkward gold when you go to the shop and try to build as your first item. We’re also adjusting some numbers to balance out these changes.
New Recipe:
- •Cloak of Agility + Long Sword + Vampiric Scepter + 600 gold = 3300 gold.
- •Old Recipe: Cloak of Agility + Vampiric Scepter + 1100 gold = 3300 gold.
- •Attack damage reduced from 55 to 50.
Unique passive - Bloodsworn
- •Attack speed reduced from 15% to 10%.
We’re adjusting the price of Morellonomicon and giving it health so that we can even out the utility and stats it provides.
General
- •Total cost increased from 2500 gold to 2600 gold.
- •Combine cost increased from 700 gold to 800 gold.
- •Health increased from 0 to 150.
