Honest 8.20 patch notes
This was fun, so I’ve decided to do it again. Let’s go.
W - Essence Flux
Ezreal fires an orb that sticks to the first champion or objective hit. Hitting the orb with an ability or attack detonates it. Detonating with an ability refunds mana.
DAMAGE 75/120/165/210/255 magic damage RATIO 0.6 bonus attack damage + 0.7 ability power RANGE 1150 (same as Q - Mystic Shot) COOLDOWN 12 seconds ORB DURATION 4 seconds COST 50 mana MANA REFUND ON ABILITY DETONATION 60 plus the cost of the ability that detonated Essence Flux OBJECTIVE Essence Flux can stick to champions, epic monsters, turrets, inhibitors, and the Nexus Q - Mystic Shot RATIO 0.4 ability power ⇒ 0.3 ability power E - Arcane Shift NEWESSENCE ATTRACTION Arcane Shift now prioritizes enemies affected by Essence Flux
- Ezreal kit has held up suprisingly well, well minus his god awful W. But since he’s so popular kit wise we couldn’t give him give him a full VGU.... or could we? Despite the fact that only one ability was really needed changes we gave him a full visual makeover, no reason why Ezreal was chosen to basically get a VU no reason at all. But hey! More
cash grabsemotes though!
R - Spirit Rush
COOLDOWN 110/95/80 seconds ⇒ 130/105/80 seconds
- we noticed after her mini rework and buffs Ahri was too strong so we nerfed her ultimate cooldown. Now Ahri has to wait an additional 20 seconds before she can kill you in lane a second time.
E - Whiplash
EMPOWERED DAMAGE 95/115/135/155/175 ⇒ 75/100/125/150/175
R - Last Caress
DAMAGE 150/275/400 ⇒ 125/250/375
EXECUTE DAMAGE 300/550/800 ⇒ 250/500/750
- for a champion meant to be weak early game Eve’s early game isn’t too bad. Let’s change that and make her early game awful. (Editors note: Eve mains I am so sorry)
BASE AD 66 ⇒ 63
- ... I can’t even think of a joke what the f*** is this? That’s not even a slap on the wrist, that’s like .... a dissapointing finger wiggle.
BUGFIX Hail of Blades no longer applies to Jhin's first basic attack (the one that procs it). It still properly applies to the following basic attacks as intended. (Behavior is now consistent with everyone else.)
- translation: “GTFO hail of blades Jhin, we don’t want you here anymore. Go be with rateblade Jhin, in the back ally dumpster”
W - Ebb and Flow
HEAL 65/95/125/155/185 (+0.3 ability power) ⇒ 60/85/110/135/160 (+0.3 ability power) (damage vs enemy champions unchanged)
- Ok ok, jokes over. We know she’s been like one of the top 3 supports for like a month and a half. Let’s give her a light slap on the wrist for the time being.
BASE HEALTH REGEN 9 per 5 seconds ⇒ 7.5 per 5 seconds
- wiggles finger shame on you Sion. Once again you’re too good in solo queue. You know what this means? You get a minor nerf that doesn’t really fix anything mister.
DARK HARVEST BASE DAMAGE 40-80 (lv 1-18) ⇒ 20-60 (lv 1-18)
- we’re finally needing dark harvest. No joke we’re making something consisantly problematic deal less damage this season. I know, it hasn’t happened all year but hey, preseasons coming soon so it had to happen at some point. Yay.
