GAMEPLAY CHANGES

ITEMS

TITANIC HYDRA

Titanic Hydra is a perfect item pickup for bruisers but it’s providing too much health. We’re adjusting its base stats.

Base Stats

Maximum Health: 550 → 450

SUNFIRE AEGIS

We would like for tanks to consider Sunfire Aegis as an attractive pick-up so we are boosting its cost-efficiency.

Bonus damage taken by enemies after being damaged by Immolate: 7% for 5s, up to 6 stacks → 11% for 5s, up to 4 stacks

Awe

Grants AD equal to 1.5% of maximum Mana → Grants AD equal to 2% of maximum Mana

FIMBULWINTER

This transformed item hasn’t been living up to the amount of time it takes to achieve its state. We’re buffing it's passive to lend it a hand.

Awe

MAW OF MALMORTIUS

If you’re a marksman or fighter up against a team with a decent amount of magic damage, it can be hard to deal with. We’re adjusting Maw slightly, so marksmen and fighters can deal with magic damage more effectively.
