W cost increased early.
Lately, Annieâs been blazing down her foes. By increasing the cost on her W, sheâll have to be more careful when deciding whether to burn up minions or enemy champions.
W - INCINERATE
COST 70/80/90/100/110 mana â 90/95/100/105/110 mana
Passive lethality increased. R main weapon effects strengthened.
Aphelios has been looking pale ever since we nerfed his interaction with Kraken Slayer in 11.2. Given how heâs fallen behind other scaling marksmen, we’re putting more punch into his lethality rank-ups (which have been historically lackluster), along with his weapon effects during his ultimate, to let him reach for the moon.
PASSIVE - THE HITMAN AND THE SEER
LETHALITY 3/6/9/12/15/18 â 3.5/7/10.5/14/17.5/21
R - MOONLIGHT VIGIL
CALIBRUM DAMAGE PER MARK 40/70/100 â 50/80/110
SEVERUM HEALING 250/375/500 â 275/400/525
GRAVITUM ROOT DURATION 1.25 seconds â 1.35 seconds
INFERNUM SPLASH DAMAGE 85% of initial damage â 90% of initial damage
CRESCENDUM CHAKRAM REFUND 4 additional (5 total) â 5 additional (6 total)
CASSIOPEIA
E cost now scales down.
Cass has been coiled up tight with Tear of the Goddess, as she relies on its mana in mid and late game teamfights. This dependence has caused her to suffer both in power and freedom in item diversity, so weâre scaling down her need for it.
E - TWIN FANG
COST 50 mana â 50/48/46/44/42 mana
Passive max health regen increased.
At present, jungle Mundoâs been smashing, and top lane Mundoâs been crashing. Weâre tackling this by pulling back on his clear speeds, which should slow his roll without stopping our purple friend from cleaving through the jungle. Weâre then doctoring up Lane-do by tossing him more regen to make him the meaty meatball of his dreams.
PASSIVE - ADRENALINE RUSH
MAX HEALTH REGENERATION 1.5% â 2.5%
Q - INFECTED CLEAVER
CAPPED DAMAGE AGAINST MINIONS & MONSTERS 300/350/400/450/500 â 100/200/300/400/500
HEALTH COST RESTORE ON ENEMY HIT 50% â 100%
E - MASOCHISM
FLAT BONUS AD 40/55/70/85/100 â 30/45/60/75/90
MAX BONUS AD 60/90/120/150/180 â 50/80/110/140/170
W bonus movement speed decreased.
Weshubbanuffaâdourselves by giving Gnar too loose a leash, and now heâs been throwing temper tantrums all over the map. Weâre pulling back accordingly.
BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 30/45/60/75%, decaying over 3s (based on R rank) â 20/40/60/80%, decaying over 3s (based on R rank)
Q damage and total damage increased.
LeBlanc is a master trickster known for her ability to bop in, burst down, and bop back outâ but as of late, her burst has felt more deceitful than fatal.
Q - SIGIL OF MALICE
BASE DAMAGE 55/80/105/130/155 â 65/90/115/140/165
TOTAL DAMAGE 110/160/210/260/310 â 130/180/230/280/330
E cooldown decreased.
Weâre giving Lee Sin more clear to help him keep an eye on other top junglers.
E - TEMPEST
COOLDOWN 10 seconds â 8 seconds
E bonus resistances decreased early.
Our lady of clockwork has become the staple mid lane mage in Pro play. Armed with both safe early game laning and strong mid-to-late game teamfight power, sheâs a reliable source of utility and damage without much of a tradeoff. To even things out, weâre tapping down her early durability in the early phases of the game.
E - COMMAND: PROTECT
BONUS RESISTANCES 10/15/20/25/30 armor and magic resist â 6/12/18/24/30 armor and magic resist
