CHAMPION CHANGES

EZREAL Image

EZREAL

Mystic Shot doesn’t hit as hard as we want it to, especially in the early part of the laning pase, so we’re giving Ezreal a small damage buff to lend him a hand.


  • Ability Icon

    Mystic Shot

    • Base Damage: 20/55/90/125 → 30/65/100/135
IRELIA Image

IRELIA

Irelia’s dash is a powerful tool that you can use to stick to your target, but the way that it currently follows enemy movement is over the top. We’re making Irelia’s dash function closer to how you’d expect.


  • Ability Icon

    BLADESURGE

    • Dash no longer follows enemy Flashes and similar effects.
JANNA Image

JANNA

We’ve had our eye on Janna, and she has been overperforming in higher ranks, so the winds of change are coming. We’re hitting the scaling on Zephyr and the charge damage on Howling Gale, so that Janna can’t blow her foes away as easily.


  • Ability Icon

    Howling Gale

    • Bonus damage per second charged: 20/25/30/35 + 15% Ability Power → 15/20/25/30 + 15% Ability Power

  • Ability Icon

    Zephyr

    • Passive movement speed bonus: 6/8/10/12% → 6/7/8/9%
KASSADIN Image

KASSADIN

Kassadin has been harder to master, but is still a force to be reckoned with in the right hands. We’re giving a slight boost to his base health so players have a little more room for error, while also pulling back on the damage amp that Force Pulse grants. Looks like the force won’t be with him after all.


  • BASE STATS

    • Base health 570 → 600

  • Ability Icon

    FORCE PULSE

    • After 6 spells are cast nearby, 60% Damage amplification → 40% Damage amplification
LUX Image

LUX

The previous changes to Lux made her a force to be reckoned with in the Mid Lane, but she isn’t scaling as well as we’d like in the Support role. We’re redistributing some of the power around her kit to get her into a better place in both roles and reach new lights.


  • Ability Icon

    Prismatic Barrier

    • Shield: 50/70/90/110 + 20% Ability Power → 40/70/100/130 + 15% Ability Power
    • Double shield: 100/140/180/220 + 40% Ability Power → 80/140/200/260 + 30% Ability Power

  • Ability Icon

    Final Spark

    • Ability Power ratio: 85% → 75%
RAKAN Image

RAKAN

Many Rakan players were not aware that his Gleaming Quill range increased with spell rank, but due to the range increase the first rank range had to be low enough that the spell wasn’t able to be used in lane. We’re looking to enable Rakan to be more effective in the early laning phase and have him not have to invest extra points into the Quill early on, so we’re flattening the range and increasing the base damage.


  • Ability Icon

    GLEAMING QUILL

    • Range: 700/800/900/1000 → 800
    • Base damage: 70/130/190/250 → 80/140/200/260
SENNA Image

SENNA

Senna has been struggling to find her footing and pick up wins across the board. So, we’re giving her a hug, and granting Last Embrace more damage and improving the cooldown on Curse of the Black Mist so that she can have more access to giving her team some extra mobility.


  • Ability Icon

    LAST EMBRACE

    • Damage: 70/130/190/250 → 90/155/220/285

  • Ability Icon

    CURSE OF THE BLACK MIST

    • Cooldown: 26/24/22/20 → 22/20/18/16
SERAPHINE Image

SERAPHINE

Seraphine’s ability to strike a chord, sing those sweet melodies, and cast spells in the early stages of the game is under where we’d like, particularly in the support role. To lend this star a hand, we’re giving her some extra mana regeneration so she can cast more freely.


  • BASE STATS

    • Base mana regeneration: 12 → 16
SHEN Image

SHEN

We’ve noticed that Shen players have been struggling to push waves, in ways that we don’t believer are appropriate even though he isn’t intended to have very strong waveclear. To open up more build paths for this stealthy kinko, we’re adding splash damage to Twilight Assault itself, which should also make the ability more satisfying to use.


  • Ability Icon

    TWILIGHT ASSAULT

    • [NEW] Bonus damage will apply at 50% effect to attack splash damage.
ZIGGS Image

ZIGGS

After a series of nerfs, Ziggs is in a place where he could use a spark of help. We’re looking to light a fuse and give him the ability to cast more spells and also grant him some extra mana regeneration so he doesn’t need to invest in it so much.


  • BASE STATS

    • Base mana: 435 → 460
    • Base mana regeneration: 12 → 16
VEX Image

VEX

Since her release Vex has been on the strong side, so we’re trimming some power away from Looming Darkness to make it a little more difficult for her to snowball in lane or through those mid-game skirmishes while preserving her fun high moments…or whatever.


  • Ability Icon

    LOOMING DARKNESS

    • Cooldown: 12s → 13s
    • Mana cost: 70/80/90/100 → 80/90/100/110
YONE Image

YONE

Despite recent changes, Yone is still performing above our expectations, particularly in higher levels of play. To address this, we’re reducing how much damage he can do with Spirit Cleave and lowering the frequency that he can assault his foes with Soul Bound.


  • Ability Icon

    SPIRIT CLEAVE

    • Base damage: 20/30/40/50 → 10/20/30/40

  • Ability Icon

    SOUL UNBOUND

    • Cooldown: 20/17/14/11s → 20/18/16/14s
