NEW

NEW CHAMPIONS

MORDEKAISER, THE IRON REVENANT

Twice slain and thrice born, Mordekaiser is a brutal warlord from a foregone epoch, who uses his necromantic sorcery to bind souls into an eternity of servitude. Few now remain who remember his earlier conquests, or know the true extent of his powers—but there are some ancient souls that do, and they fear the day when he may return to claim dominion over both the living and the dead.

Mordekaiser will be released on August 23 at 00:01 UTC.

  • Health regeneration with on-hit by outer half: 40% → 50%

JHIN

Compared to other marksmen, Jhin isn’t pumping out enough damage to keep up. We’re making sure every one of his bullets will strike true.

Whisper

  • Bonus Attack Damage: (25% of bonus Attack Speed + 40% of Crit Rate+ 4.5% of Champion Level)*Attack Damage → (30% of bonus Attack Speed + 45% of Crit Rate+ 4.5% of Champion Level)*Attack Damage

  • Damage: 50/125/200 + 25% Attack Damage → 75/150/225 + 25% Attack Damage

Base Stats

  • Attack Damage per Level: 3  → 3.5

Ricochet

  • Damage: 8/10/12/14 + 15/17/19/21% Attack Damage → 8/10/12/14 + 17/20/23/26% Attack Damage
