Patch 5.5 preview
Kat Gets hit with another nerf bat to bring her in line! She's right where she should be after removing 1 base armor and just making her do full ult damage at once rather than over time as a channeled ability.
Teemo This little guy just didn't make sense... why did his mushrooms hurt people? So we removed that component. They're still slowing as intended! We also reworked his passive to only provide camouflage while in a bush, as intended.
Taric Before we can get to Poppy, we just needed to rework taric one more time. We've reworked his W... we're changing his passive again... Now it will give him a chance to have a unique character animation while recalling and he'll heal 25% faster while in base! That's right 25% people... that's not a typo. Due to soft caps, it will only effectively be a 10% improvement, but we wanted to show you a nice, round number! We're also replacing the auras from his W and R abilities with improved versions for himself. Because why would taric buff "other" people? His armor buff is improving by 2 points across all levels and his ult will do 5 more damage at each level.
Nunu To bring him in line with other supports, we're removing Blood Boil.
Minor changes: All characters stats and abilities replaced to that of Fizz for perfect balance.
Item changes: All items replaced with Doran's Blades. Each item will retain it's own icon and costs to encourage freedom to build champions how YOU want to build them... but stat-wise, all items are identical now. Except we're getting rid of Zeke's Harold and Aegis of the Legion.
