Maw Of MalmortiusAmumu’s experience in the jungle has been a bit of a sad tale. These changes will hopefully cheer him up a little (or at least you).
Bandage Toss
- •Recharge time reduced from 14/13.5/13/12.5 seconds to 12/11.5/11/10.5.
Tantrum
- •Base damage increased from 90/120/150/180 to 110/140/170/200.
Do you suffer from buyer’s remorse? This is a QOL adjustment that will make casting Darius’ ult feel a little less like a waste if it fizzles out early... Darius changes will be available January 4 at 00:01 UTC.
Noxian Guillotine
- •New effect: If during the cast time that the target becomes untargetable or exits range, the ability refunds the mana cost and incurs 5 second cooldown.
To keep Demacia in balance, we had to give Garen the same QOL as Darius. Garen changes will be available January 4 at 00:01 UTC.
Demacian Justice
- •New effect: If during the cast time that the target becomes untargetable or exits range, the ability incurs 5 second cooldown.
Kayn’s ult is also receiving a little TLC. We’re really digging the QOL changes, can you tell? Kayn changes will be available January 4 at 00:01 UTC.
Umbral Trespass
- •New effect: Darkin cast heal will also trigger when the target dies before Kayn exits.
With these adjustments, Kha’Zix will be slaying even more ruthlessly than before!
Unseen Threat
- •Base damage increased from 14 to 126 (based on level) to 18 to 130 (based on level).
- •AD ratio increased from 40% bonus AD to 50%.
AP Malphite is a hit with you guys, but what about tank Malphite? We’ve tweaked his scaling a bit so both get the love they deserve.
Granite Shield
- •Health ratio increased from 9% maximum health to 11%.
Thunderclap
- •Bonus armor increased from 15/20/25/30% armor to 20/25/30/35%.
- •On-hit armor ratio increased from 20% armor to 30%.
- •Cleave armor ratio increased from 10% armor to 15%.
Miss Fortune has been rather unlucky in the Dragon Lane. Hopefully, these changes will let her spin her wheel of fortune.
Stats
- •Base attack damage increased from 54 to 58.
- •Base mana increased from 390 to 420.
- •Mana growth increased from 41 to 50.
We’re adjusting Pyke to let him rip through his enemies even easier, especially in a group setting.
Phantom Undertow
- •Base damage increased from 120/170/220/270 to 120/175/230/285.
Death from Below
- •Pyke's gold on assisted takedowns increased from 140% to 160%.
Samira does well early on, but falls off mid and late game. We’re giving her a little boost to make sure her impact keeps up with her confidence.
Darius gets a QOL change, Kayn gets a QOL change, Garen gets a QOL change, everybody gets a QOL change! (Everybody being Thresh.) Let’s see those hooks fly! Thresh changes will be available January 4 at 00:01 UTC.
Death Sentence
- •New effect: Thresh will not turn in the target direction until after the cast time.
Tryndamere has been performing poorly, especially at higher ranks. These adjustments will make it easier for him to stay within striking distance of his enemies.
Mocking Shout
- •Slow increased from 15/20/25/30% to 25/30/35/40%.
Spinning Slash
- •Cooldown reduced from 12/11/10/9 seconds to 11/10/9/8.
- •AD ratio increased from 130% bonus AD to 135%.
Urgot has to be within a leg’s reach to deal damage, exposing him to counter-attacks. We’re increasing his survivability to make sure he can wreak havoc for longer.
Disdain
- •Cooldown reduced 15/14/13/12 seconds to 14/13/12/11.
- •Base shield increased from 60/90/120/150 to 70/100/130/160.
Fear Beyond Death
- •Cooldown reduced from 70/60/50 seconds to 60/55/50.
Our recent buffs to Aatrox have made him a popular pick. But he’s been trampling through the jungle. This adjustment will bring back balance to nature.
The Darkin Blade
- •Damage against monsters reduced from 100% to 70%.
Sorry guys, it’s still TOO scary. These adjustments will make sure we stop shaking in our boots when we see the enemy pick Fiddlesticks in champ select.
Terrify
- •Fear duration reduced from 1/1.2/1.4/1.6 seconds to 1/1.1/1.2/1.3.
Bountiful Harvest
- •Damage against monsters reduced from 185% to 160%.
Jayce hasn’t been as dominant in Lane as we had hoped. These changes will make it easier for him to snowball, and the jungle adjustment will make sure he doesn’t clear camps too quickly.
Stats
- •Base attack damage increased from 54 to 58.
- •Health growth increased from 104 to 112.
To the Skies!
- •Base damage increased from 60/110/160/210/260 to 70/120/170/220/270.

- •Damage against monsters reduced from 100% to 50%.
Shock Blast
- •AD ratio increased from 130% bonus AD to 140%.
- •Damage against monsters reduced from 100% to 50%.
Nilah has been washing out her opponents way faster than they can paddle. These changes will put a little dam on her.
Formless Blade
- •Damage against monsters reduced from 60% to 25%.
Sona is a master of recasting her chords like rapidfire, giving enemies a hard time. We’ve fine-tuned her, as well as her healing and shielding scaling to make sure she’s not deafening her opponents.
Power Chord
- •Basic ability cooldown reduction reduced from 2 to 30% (based on level) to 2 to 20% (based on level)
Aria of Perseverance
- •Base heal increased from 20/35/50/65 to 25/40/55/70.

- •Slow reduced from 35/40/45% to 25/30/35%.
Not many things age finer than Vladimir on the Rift. A bit too fine maybe. We’re watering him down a bit to make him a bit more palatable.
Transfusion
- •Base damage reduced from 80/110/140/170 to 70/100/130/160.
- •Crimson Rush bonus damage reduced from 85% to 75%.
Sanguine Pool
- •Bonus movement speed reduced from 35% to 27.5%.
Lucian is another one who’s been off the mark lately. We’re hoping these changes will make for a stronger late game but still ensure he doesn’t overwhelm his opponents early on.
Stats
- •Attack damage growth increased from 3 to 4.
Piercing Light
- •Base damage changed from 110/150/190/230 to 100/145/190/235.
- •AD ratio increased from 120% bonus AD to 125%.
The ball is angry… and doing a little too much damage. These changes will make her easier to roll with.

Clockwork Windup
- •On-hit base damage reduced from 13 to 55 (based on level) to 8 to 50 (based on level).
