CHAMPION CHANGES

AKALI Image

AKALI

Our favorite Rogue Assassin is in a tough spot. A lot of players enjoy picking her up, but she hasn’t been able to pick up many wins across the board. We’re cautiously buffing her base and scaling health regeneration to help her deal with some of the poke she may face in the earlier stages of the game, to help her reach her satisfying mid-game.


  • BASE STATS

    • Base health regeneration: 9 → 10
    • Health regeneration per level: .68 → .8
EKKO Image

EKKO

Rewinding time and hitting your enemies with Chronobreak can be hard, especially in the early game… you are manipulating time after all. So we’re giving a little boost to the reward for accomplishing such a feat. At the same time, jungle Ekko is slightly better than in the Mid Lane, so we’re making another adjustment to damage he does to monsters.


  • Ability Icon

    TIMEWINDER

    • Damage to monsters: 120% → 100%

  • Ability Icon

    CHRONOBREAK

    • Base damage: 150/300/450 → 200/350/500
MALPHITE Image

MALPHITE

Malphite is rock solid for most players, but they’ve been struggling in higher ranks. So we’re giving this rock some extra minerals to boost its Passive’s cooldown and Seismic Shard’s speed, while also adjusting their general durability to compensate.


  • Ability Icon

    Granite Shield

    • Cooldown: 8s → 8/7/6s (levels 1/5/11)
    • 10% of Maximum health → 9% Maximum health

  • Ability Icon

    Seismic Shard

    • Projectile speed: 10 → 12
YUUMI Image

YUUMI

Yuumi is still underpurrforming, and now that her heal is tied to combat, we feel comfortable buffing it since it no longer provides powerful sustain when out of combat.


  • Ability Icon

    ZOOMIES

    • Heal: 15/25/35/45 + 10% Ability Power → 20/30/40/50 + 10% Ability Power
