NEW CHAMPIONS
NOCTURNE, THE ETERNAL NIGHTMARE
A demonic amalgamation drawn from the nightmares that haunt every sentient mind, the thing known as Nocturne has become a primordial force of pure terror. It is liquidly chaotic in aspect, a faceless shadow with cold eyes and armed with wicked-looking blades. After freeing itself from the spirit realm, Nocturne now continually descends upon the waking world, to feed on the kind of fear that can only thrive in true darkness.
Nocturne will be released on May 16 at 00:01 UTC.

SION
We boosted Sion’s survivability so he can have an easier time being a tank for his team during teamfights.
Glory in Death
Damage of base damage during Sion’s Passive: 8% target’s maximum health → 10% target’s maximum health
Soul Furnace
Cooldown: 15/14/13/12s → 14/13/12/11s
Bonus shield value: 10/11/12/13% maximum health → 10/12/14/16% maximum health
GAREN
Garen’s damage has been falling short, so we’re lending him a hand and upping his skill damage.
Judgment
Base damage per on-hit: 12/16/20/24 → 15/19/23/27
LEONA
We want Leona to be more of a threat when she dives into the enemy backline, so we’re increasing her tankiness and damage.
Eclipse
Armor granted: 35/50/65/80 + 20% bonus armor → 40/60/80/100 + 20% bonus armor
Magic resistance granted: 35/50/65/80 + 20% bonus magic resistance → 40/60/80/100 + 20% bonus magic resistance
Base damage: 60/95/130/165 → 80/115/150/185
Wukong
Wukong’s sustain during laning is too strong, so we’re dialing back his early trading power.
Crushing Blows
Health regeneration per stack: 0.5% maximum health per second → 0.35% maximum health per second
Nimbus Strike
Base damage: 80/120/160/200 → 70/110/150/190
VIKTOR
Viktor’s long range poke and burst is great at devastating his foes, but it has become too strong in the later stages of the game. So we’re trimming his Ability Power ratios to bring down his mid-to-late game power.
Siphon Power
Damage of next basic attack: 20/45/70/95 + 100% Attack Damage + 45% Ability Power → 20/40/60/80+100% Attack Damage + 40% Ability Power
Hextech Ray
Damage of first phase: 75/120/165/210 + 40% Ability Power → 75/120/165/210 + 30% Ability Power
Damage of second phase: 30/70/110/150 + 70% Ability Power → 30/70/110/150 + 60% Ability Power
SIVIR
Sivir’s ricochet damage was too overwhelming for her enemies, especially in the early game. We’re reducing it to make her laning and teamfight damage more manageable.
Ricochet
Damage: 8/10/12/14 + 17/20/23/26% Attack Damage → 4/6/8/10 + 15/18/21/24% Attack Damage
BLITZCRANK
We’ve cut down on Blitzcrank’s durability and mid-game damage. This will make him more reliant on landing Rocket Grab, rather than just being able to brute-force his way into fights with his shield.
Base Stats
Base health: 720 → 660
Rocket Grab
Base damage: 110/180/250/320 → 110/175/240/305
JINX
We’re toning down Jinx’s early game damage while boosting her crowd control and survivability to better reflect her identity as a scaling marksman.
Base Stats
Base Attack Damage: 58 → 54
Flame Chompers!
Cooldown: 16/14/12/10s → 15/13/11/9s
GAMEPLAY CHANGES
SYSTEM
Smite
We’ve adjusted junglers’ damage to monsters and income scaling in the mid-to-late game. While removing the gold penalty on lane minions at 7:30, we’re also reducing the extra gold and damage benefits Smite provides to slow down mid-game jungle scaling—without affecting early pathing and clear speed.
Bonus 15% basic attack damage to monsters → Starting at 2:00, the bonus damage decays by 1% every 12 seconds. At 5:00, the bonus is fully removed
Starting at 7:30, junglers no longer receive 20% bonus gold from taking down monsters
