Champion Index
Filter buffs, nerfs and adjustments with evidence-first summaries.
Ambessa
Ambessa's late game damage has been reduced.
“Ambessa has been too reliable in her late game output for players with high mastery in all brackets, but especially pro-play.”
Ashe
Ashe's attack damage per level has been decreased.
“Ashe is one of the premier marksmen in pro play at the moment, and we're seeing her output too much raw damage given her position as the highest utility marksman in the game.”
Cassiopeia
Cassiopeia's base health and mana have been reduced.
“We're taking another swing at her early resources because of how dominant she still is in early laning, making her work a little harder to create an advantage.”
Diana
Diana's shield from her W ability has been increased.
“While Diana's assassin build shines, her bruiser builds tend to be lagging a good bit behind.”
Kennen
Kennen's E ability now provides more bonus attack speed.
“Stacking the odds a bit more in his favor with his signature spell (in Riftbound) and offsetting Rocketbelt changes that he'll be a bit less excited about.”
Kindred
Kindred received buffs to their W and E abilities.
“Kindred is currently a bit weak, so we're giving them buffs in areas that won't make them much more overwhelming in early invades.”
K'Sante
K'Sante's W ability has increased mana cost and reduced damage reduction.
“Warding off this warden from being as reliable as a blind pick in coordinated play - hurting early mana and consistent W damage reduction, which should be skewed for elite audiences.”
Lillia
Lillia's R ability duration has been increased.
“We believe there is a bit more room for her to really prance around various levels of play so we are following up with another buff that'll really help her shine”
Lucian
Lucian's base attack damage has been slightly increased.
“Last patch's adjustment to help normalize mid and bot performance ended up landing as a nerf for bot lane, so we're following up with a buff to make up for the lost power.”
Mordekaiser
Mordekaiser's Q damage scaling and R cooldown have been improved.
“Windows between Mordekaiser's ultimates make it hard to keep up with the pace of much of his opposition.”
Neeko
Neeko's E ability damage has been slightly increased.
“Rocketbelt's adjustment this patch will probably land as a small nerf for Neeko, so we're giving her some minor compensation”
Smolder
Smolder's passive and R ability have been improved.
“Smolder has lost quite a bit of power over the last few patches, with the Cleaver ranged nerf and bot lane meta changes disfavoring him significantly.”
Swain
Swain's base magic resistance and W damage have been increased.
“We're giving Swain mid a moderate buff this patch while also making an adjustment that should help normalize his mid and bot lane performance.”
Tahm Kench
Tahm Kench's Q healing has been significantly increased.
“As one of the tank supports with the lowest health regen, and many health scaling values on his abilities, Tahm Kench lost out on the recent adjustments to the support item.”
Vayne
Vayne's health per 5 and Q mana cost have been improved.
“Vayne has settled into a fairly weak spot, and while we still aren't totally happy with her top vs bot skew, we're getting closer.”
Yunara
Yunara's damage and slow mechanics have been reduced.
“Passive On Hit Damage: 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 (+20% AP) ⇒ 3 / 8 / 13 / 18 / 23 (+20% AP)”
“Active On Hit Damage: 5 / 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 (+20% AP) ⇒ 3 / 8 / 13 / 18 / 23 (+20% AP)”
