NEW CHAMPIONS
POPPY, KEEPER OF THE HAMMER
Runeterra has no shortage of valiant champions, but few are as tenacious as Poppy. Bearing the legendary hammer of Orlon, a weapon twice her size, this determined yordle has spent untold years searching in secret for the fabled “Hero of Demacia,” said to be its rightful wielder. Until then, she dutifully charges into battle, pushing back the kingdom’s enemies with every whirling strike.
Poppy will be released on March 28 at 00:01 UTC.

CHAMPION CHANGES
CORKI
Corki’s reworked performance didn’t land quite how we wanted it to, so we’re boosting his Attack Speed per level and reducing his ultimate’s downtime. This will help him better weave basic attacks between abilities for more sustained damage output.
Base Stats
Attack Speed per level: 0.022 → 0.032
Attack Damage per level: 3 → 3.5
Missile Barrage
Big One Charge Time: 20s → 16s
Auto Attacks Against Champions Reduce Charge Time: (2 + 200% Critical Strike rate) s → (2 + 300% Critical Strike Rate) s
ANNIE
We've improved Annie's mid-game laning and ganking potential, allowing her to leverage her strengths earlier and provide more support for her teammates.
Disintegrate
Mana consumption: 65/70/75/80 → 50/55/60/65
Damage: 80/125/170/215 + 80% Ability Power → 80/130/180/230 + 85% Ability Power
Molten Shield
Movement Speed bonus: 20/25/30/35% → 25/30/35/40%
LUCIAN
As a marksman, Lucian struggles to pose a significant threat to enemies in the mid-to-late game. To address this, we've made him more agile in mid-game fights while also boosting his damage for the later stages.
Base Stats
Attack Damage per level: 4 → 4.5
Relentless Pursuit
Cooldown: 22/19/16/13s → 20.5/18/15.5/13s
EZREAL
We've increased Ezreal's late-game damage. This should ensure that he remains a significant threat, even in the later stages of the game.
Base Stats
Movement Speed: 335 → 340
Mystic Shot
Damage bonus: 120% Attack Damage + 30% Ability Power → 130% Attack Damage + 30% Ability Power
Wukong
Wukong has struggled to sustain after taking a solo fight during the laning phase. Additionally, his high mana costs have limited his ability to consistently trade with his foes. To help him out, we've improved his sustain and reduced his mana costs. Now, he no longer needs Manaflow Band to compensate for his early-game insufficient mana problems.
Stone Skin
Health regeneration from Strong Skin per 5s: 1.5% maximum health → 2.5% maximum health
Golden Staff
Cooldown of empowered ability: 12/10/8/6s → 10.5/9/7.5/6s
Mana consumption: Full level 40 → Full level 30
Nimbus Strike
Mana consumption: 45/50/55/60 → Full level 40
GRAVES
Compared to other junglers, Graves struggles to deal damage in the earlier stages of the game. To lend him a hand, we’ve boosted his early-game combat ability, which will improve his jungle clear speed and survivability in fights.
Base Stats
Base Magic Resistance: 38 → 40
End of the Line
Cooldown: 11.5/10/8.5/7s → 10/9/8/7s
Damage to monsters: 105% → 110%
Quickdraw
Armor bonus per stack of True Grit: 8/14/20/26 → 13/18/23/28
MORDEKAISER
Mordekaiser tends to struggle during the laning phase, so we’ve strengthened the damage he can do in lane. However, we’ve also slightly toned down his terrifying Realm of Death to keep him more balanced overall.
Obliterate
Damage: 70/95/120/145 + (4~90)+60% Ability Power → 80/110/140/170+(4~70)+70% Ability Power
Realm of Death
Cooldown: 100/85/70s → 105/90/75s
IRELIA
Irelia is a dominant force in lane, especially in the hands of skilled players. However, she often struggles to find impact in mid-to-late-game teamfights. To balance this, we've reduced her early-game pressure while increasing her late-game survivability.
Ionian Fervor
Damage: 30~120 + 30% bonus Attack Damage → 10~150 + 30% bonus Attack Damage
Bladesurge
Damage: 15/45/75/105 + 60% Attack Damage → 10/40/70/100 + 65% Attack Damage
Health regeneration: 19/21/23/25% Attack Damage → 16/20/24/28% Attack Damage
EKKO
In the current patch, Ekko’s burst damage is overly strong, and his mobility and survivability make him difficult to punish. So, we’re reducing his jungle clear speed and burst potential while also increasing the early cooldown of his ultimate. Now, he’ll need better scaling and more strategic positioning to take down his opponents.
Z-Drive Resonance
Damage to monsters: 155% → 120%
Parallel Convergence
Passive damage: (3% + 0.02% Ability Power) lost health → (2% + 0.015% Ability Power) lost health
Chronobreak
Cooldown: 70/55/40s → 80/60/40s
AMBESSA
We’re slowing down Ambessa’s jungle clear speed while also reducing her overall damage and sustain. She’ll now need to be more cautious when choosing her moment to strike.
Drakehound's Step
Damage: 1 + champion level*4+(2%+0.02% bonus Attack Damage) → 1 + champion level*3+(1.5%+0.02% bonus Attack Damage)
Cunning Sweep
Damage to monsters: 110% → 100%
Public Execution
Health regeneration: (50/75/100 + 50% bonus Attack Damage) to (150/225/300 + 100% bonus Attack Damage) → (25/50/75 + 45% bonus Attack Damage) to (75/150/225 + 90% bonus Attack Damage)
GAMEPLAY CHANGES
ITEMS
Manamune
Compared to the other Tear of the Goddess items, Manamune stacks at a slower pace. We've improved its stacking efficiency, so if you choose this item, you can be more effective in the mid-game.
Mana Charge:
Increases max Mana by 10 every time mana is spent or launch a basic attack → Increases max Mana by 15 every time mana is spent or launch a basic attack
Stoneplate Enchant
In teamfights, Stoneplate Enchant has been providing too large of a shield and making certain champions too tanky. We’re reducing the shield value to bring it more in line.
Stoneplate (active)
For every enemy nearby, gain an additional shield that absorbs damage equal to 14% of maximum health → For every enemy nearby, gain an additional shield that absorbs damage equal to 10% of maximum health
Glorious Enchant
We're making some adjustments to Glorious Enchant so that it is a more appealing buy for champions who can utilize it.
Glory (Active)
Range of triggering shockwave: 200 → 250
[Optimization] Mechanism: After casting the shockwave, the original 15% bonus movement speed will not be removed
Locket Enchant
With the addition of Forbidden Idol, Locket has been providing too much shielding in the mid-to-late game. So, we’re adjusting its shielding power.
Locket (active)
Shield value: 60~390 → 60~330
Magnetron Enchant
We're introducing a new mechanic to Magnetron to improve its usability, especially for champions who rely on quick repositioning.
Magnetron (Active)
[New] Mechanic: gain 30% of bonus movement speed for 1.5s upon reaching target position
RUNE CHANGES
Empowerment
Currently, Empowerment has been underperforming. We’re increasing its damage amplification effect to better highlight its mix of burst and sustained damage potential.
Under vulnerable state, all damage received increases by 8% → Under vulnerable state, all damage received increases by 9%
SUMMONER SPELL
Cleanse
Cleanse provides a reliable way to remove crowd control during the lane phase while also mitigating multiple crowd control effects at a relatively low cost. To create a better counterplay window for opponents and improve the experience for control-based champions, we’re increasing its cooldown and reducing its immunity duration.
Cooldown: 100s → 110s
Time of immune to CC: 0.75s → 0.25s
SYSTEM
Enchanted Ensemble
The Enchanted Ensemble has been extremely effective at pushing and in some cases, has directly ended the laning phase in-game, which can in return place too much pressure on laners. To help with this, we’re reducing the damage it can do to turrets.
Damage of hitting turret: 60% turret’s maximum health → 50% turret’s maximum health
Baron Nashor
When Baron Nashor is defeated early in the game, the buff it grants to minions has been too difficult for some champions to deal with. So, we’re adjusting its effectiveness to make early Baron sieging more manageable.
Damage reduction of empowered minions from enemy champions: 60% → 50%~60%
