Lethal Tempo Buffs, Nerfs & Changes

Patch 7.3

change

Lethal Tempo

  • Lethal Tempo has been providing too much Attack Speed and bonus range on its own, creating some extreme power swings for marksmen throughout the game. Alongside our marksman item updates, we’re reworking the rune to rely more on synergy with other Attack Speed sources rather than providing so much power by itself. This should make Lethal Tempo a more natural fit for champions who invest heavily in Attack Speed, while keeping its power more consistent and easier to control.
  • Landing basic attacks on enemy champions grants stacking Attack Speed, 8% for melee and 6.4% for ranged, up to 6 stacks for 6 seconds. At max stacks, attacks also fire a bullet that deals adaptive damage, 9 - 30 for melee and 6 - 24 for ranged. Each 1% bonus Attack Speed increases this damage by 1% for melee and 0.67% for ranged.
