GAMEPLAY CHANGES
ITEMS
MAW OF MALMORTIUS
Currently, Maw of Malmortius can only be triggered by attacks, which makes this item incapable of countering mages. We’ve tweaked it to let more champions with physical damage choose this item when they need to counter Mages.
Demonbane
- Magic shield will be triggered with 20% damage from attacks → Magic shield will be triggered with 20% damage by basic attacks or 15% physical damage dealt by abilities
AMARANTH’S TWINGUARD
Amaranth’s Twinguard isn’t providing enough stats for players to justify the purchase. We’re increasing the base stats to make it a more attractive item for tanks.
Base Stats
- Total price: 3200g → 3100g
- Armor: 55 → 60
