There might be something else coming soon… but we can’t reveal it just yet. We have a brand new game mode for you, as well as your regularly scheduled balance updates. Welcome to patch 5.3b.

CHAMPION CHANGES

BLITZCRANK

Blitzcrank can struggle in Lane, even if you’re landing the hooks. We’re tweaking his damage so his opponents can really feel his punches.

Rocket Grab

  • Damage: 100/160/220/280 + 100% Ability Power → 110/180/250/320 + 100% Ability Power

Inferno Trigger

  • Damage: 5/20/35 + 50% Attack Damage → 5/20/35 + 60% Attack Damage
