Patch 3.4

buff

To better prevent scenarios where the player smites the wrong target during key fights over objectives (it's okay this has happened to us one too many times too), we’re making a control adjustment to the Smite spell.

General

  • Smite
  • New effect: Quick cast will prioritize epic monsters.

SMITE

  • Smite will prioritize epic monsters while casted by a quick swip/flick.

Patch 3.3b

nerf

Exhaust has been the best spell to pick-up for defensive, offensive, and supportive uses especially since the last buffs we made to it. We want to ensure that it's still the best option for defense and peeling, but we’re reducing its range to make it less effective as a chasing tool.

Exhaust

  • Target range reduced from 700 to 500.

EXHAUST

  • Range: 7 →5

Patch 3.3

buff

Smite

  • Passive - Tooth and Nail

Patch 3.0a

nerf

Barrier

  • Shield reduced from 115 to 465 (based on level) to 100 to 450 (based on level).

Patch 2.5

buff

We’re making Flash interact more consistently with non-ultimate ‘skillshot’ dash abilities (dashes that don’t home in on a target). In Patch 2.5, Flash will cancel many dash abilities but still activate or bring their effects to the flashed location (e.g. Flashing during Riven’s third cast of Broken Wings will apply the knockup at the new location).

Flash

  • New Effect: Flashing during a skillshot dash now applies the dash's damage or effects at the flashed location, instead of completely canceling the ability and its effects.

Smite

  • Passive - Hunting License
  • New Effect: Now grants 20% bonus gold from monsters.
  • Minion gold and experience rate reduced from 80% to 75%.
  • Penalty increased from 20% to 25%.

SUMMONER SPELL: FLASH

  • Flashing during a ‘skillshot’ dash completely cancels the ability and its effects → Flashing during a ‘skillshot’ dash applies the dash’s damage or effects at the flashed location

Smite

  • Passive - Hunting License

Patch 2.2b

nerf

Patch 2.2

change

Ignite

  • Target range reduced from 700 to 550.

Mark / Dash

Patch 2.1

change

General

  • New effect: Added duration indicator for spells like Barrier and Ghost.

Smite

  • Passive - Hunting License
  • Added the Hunter's Duty buff indicator to indicate Hunting License minion penalty.

Patch 1.1

buff

We’re all for wild, creative strategies, but taking Smite as a laner is something we’d like to discourage for the health of the game (it skews the jungle meta and can lead to less interactive laning). For those reasons, Smite now reduces XP gained from killing minions by 20% for the first 5 minutes of the game.

Smite

  • New effect: Smite is put on a 10 second cooldown at game start.
