11/29/2018 Bugfix

Kai'Sa

Fixed a bug causing Kai'Sa's Passive - Second Skin on-hit damage to not properly scale with Plasma stacks

11/27/2018 Balance Update

Dark Harvest (ARAM)

DAMAGE PER SOUL 4 ⇒ 2

Relic Shield

BUGFIX Fixed a bug that caused the Spoils of War proc to interfere with champion kill credit, additionally causing kill and bounty gold to go to the wrong player

BUGFIX Executing a minion with Spoils of War once again attributes 1 CS to Relic Shield's owner and 1 CS to their ally (gold distribution was unaffected by the bug)

11/21/2018 Bugfixes

Akali

BUGFIX Fixed a bug that made Akali's attack speed higher than intended

Gangplank

BUGFIX Fixed a bug causing R - Cannon Barrage to always deal rank 1 damage

Yorick

Yorick's bugfix overcorrected and ended up pulling more aggro onto him than other pets draw to their owners.

BUGFIXFIX Mistwalkers and The Maiden no longer draw minion aggro onto Yorick if they damage an enemy champion. The turret aggro portion of the fix is still in place.

11/20/2018 Balance Update

Dark Harvest

This season's harvest was too bountiful.

BASE DAMAGE 50-80 (lv 1-18) ⇒ 40-80 (lv 1-18)

DAMAGE PER SOUL 8 ⇒ 5

Aatrox

R duration decreased; now always grants max heal if Blood Well is over 80% filled.

Aatrox won't have as long to wreak havoc with the promise of revival during World Ender, but he'll max out the revive heal sooner. A few clarity improvements will help enemies make the best choice when deciding when and if to kill him the first time or wait out the clock to deny the revive.

R - World Ender

DURATION 12 seconds ⇒ 10 seconds (now matches Blood Well's charge-up duration)

HEAL ON REVIVE 0.5% max health per 1% Blood Well ⇒ 0.5% max health per 1% Blood Well up to 80% Blood Well; 50% max health for 80% Blood Well or higher (resource bar now turns red at the 80% mark)

Ezreal

W base damage increased; AP ratio now scales with rank. R damage decreased against minions and non-epic monsters but no longer falls off per target hit.

We promised we'd look out for AP Ezreal after his update, so we're back with a few more changes. Apart from some pure power-ups to W, we're also pushing the difference between builds by making Trueshot Barrage—which is stronger for AP Ezreal—a more powerful AoE teamfight ability.

W - Essence Flux

BASE DAMAGE 75/125/175/225/275 ⇒ 80/135/190/245/300

RATIO 0.7 ability power at all ranks ⇒ 0.7/0.75/0.8/0.85/0.9 ability power

R - Trueshot Barrage

removedFALLOFF Damage is no longer reduced by 10% for each enemy hit (minimum 30%)

newAIMED TOO HIGH Minions and non-epic monsters now take 50% reduced damage

Lissandra

New passive. Mana regen growth increased. Q, W costs decreased. W damage decreased. Short E dashes are faster. R ratio decreased.

Despite her recent presence at Worlds, Lissandra's passive has always felt somewhat flat, particularly since her mana costs have been balanced around the free cast. As a result, many Lissandra players feel like they don't actually have a passive. We're getting rid of Iceborn and introducing Iceborn Subjugation, rewarding her burst and pick strengths and synergizing with her AoE teamfight disruption.

Base stats

newLEVEL 1 BONUS ATTACK SPEED Lissandra now has 5% bonus attack speed at level 1

MANA REGEN GROWTH 0.4 ⇒ 0.8

Basic attacks

ANIMATIONS Adjusted to better match missile timing

MISSILE SPEED 2000 ⇒ 2200

newPassive - Iceborn Subjugation

ICEBORN SUBJUGATION When an enemy dies near Lissandra they become a Frozen Thrall. Frozen Thralls seek out living enemies, slowing their movement speed when nearby. After a few seconds, Frozen Thralls shatter from the intense cold, dealing magic damage in an area.

THRALL DURATION Frozen Thralls chase enemies for 4 seconds before exploding

BASE DAMAGE 120-520 (lv 1-18)

RATIO 0.3 ability power

SLOW 25%

removedICEBORN Lissandra's old passive, Iceborn, has been removed

Q - Ice Shard

COST 75 mana at all ranks ⇒ 60/63/66/69/72 mana

W - Ring of Frost

COST 50 mana ⇒ 40 mana

BASE DAMAGE 70/110/150/190/230 ⇒ 70/100/130/160/190

RATIO 0.4 ability power ⇒ 0.3 ability power

E - Glacial Path

CLAW SPEED 850 ⇒ 1200 decelerating to 640 (time to reach max distance still 1.25 seconds)

R - Frozen Tomb

RATIO 0.7 ability power ⇒ 0.6 ability power

Taliyah

Q cooldown, cost, Worked Ground duration decreased. Q multi-hit damage penalty now applies to everything, not just champions.

We're siphoning some of Taliyah's monster (and minion) killing strength into power that helps her in a wider variety of situations.

Q - Threaded Volley

COOLDOWN 11/9/7/5/3 seconds ⇒ 7/6/5/4/3 seconds

COST 60/70/80/90/100 mana ⇒ 50/60/70/80/90 mana

MULTI-HIT DAMAGE Enemy champions ⇒ Everything takes 50% reduced damage from stone shards beyond the first

WORKED GROUND DURATION 120 seconds ⇒ 45 seconds

removedCOOLGROUND REDUCTION Worked Ground duration is no longer affected by cooldown reduction

Yorick

Just a bugfix, but one that asks Yorick to be a bit more careful when sending his pets after opponents.

Bugfix

LET ME SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER Mistwalkers and The Maiden now draw minion and turret aggro onto Yorick if they damage an enemy champion

Doran's Shield

Passive regen now based on missing health.

Scaling regen means Doran's Shield will still be a powerful option against constant poke, but won't leave users impervious to all-ins.

UNIQUE PASSIVE After taking damage from an enemy champ, regenerate 20 health over 10 seconds ⇒ regenerate up to 30 health over 10 seconds based on missing health (cap at 75% missing health)

updated

Guinsoo's Rageblade

On-hit flat damage increased; ratios removed. Now grants armor and magic penetration. Stacks no longer grant AD/AP. Cost decreased.

Guinsoo's Rageblade can function as both a one-item power spike and a late-game scaling engine, which has led to numerous balance issues over time. This update leans into the former: The switch from percent AD/AP bonuses to hybrid penetration puts emphasis on base values rather than scalings, including Guinsoo's on-hit damage which is back to a flat 15. Penetration also plays poorly with Infinity Edge's true damage conversion, making Rageblade a less desirable pickup for champs who ultimately want to play the crit carry game. Finally, a cost reduction ties the bow on the Rageblade rush package.

COST 3300 gold ⇒ 3100 gold

ON-HIT DAMAGE 5 (+0.1 bonus attack damage) physical damage + 5 (+0.1 ability power) magic damage ⇒ 15 magic damage

newPENETRATION Now grants 6.5-15% (lv 1-18) total armor and magic penetration

removedPERCENT AD/AP PER STACK No longer grants +2.5% bonus attack damage and ability power per stack (stacks still grant attack speed)

Jungle Items

Monster Hunter gold penalty removed.

Other preseason changes increase the risks (farm bounties) and tradeoffs (turret plating) of the gold funneling strategy that originally caused us to introduce the Monster Hunter penalty, so we don't need it anymore.

removedMONSTER HUNTER Owning Hunter's Machete, Hunter's Talisman, or an un-upgraded Stalker's Blade or Skirmisher's Sabre no longer reduces gold granted by lane minions if you have the highest minion kill score on your team

Relic Shield Upgrades

Minion execute threshold increased for Relic Shield's upgrades.

We're helping Relic Shield's upgrades keep up with the minion health increases preseason brings.

Targon's Brace

MINION EXECUTE 10-180 (lv 1-18) ⇒ 15-270 (lv 1-18)

Remnant of the Aspect / Eye of the Aspect

MINION EXECUTE 20-360 (lv 1-18) ⇒ 30-540 (lv 1-18)

Wards & Trinkets

Control Ward inventory cap reduced. Trinkets scale with average level of all champs in the game instead of owner's level. Warding Totem ward duration decreased late.

Right now, the vision game overwhelmingly favors the team that's ahead. They have the most freedom to place wards and the most gold to put into vision denial via Control Wards. While helping ahead teams close games out is one of our preseason goals, vision does so in an incredibly slow, safe manner that reduces action. With a ton of other preseason changes designed to help decided games end faster, we're pulling back on how high the winning team's vision advantage can climb.

Control Ward

INVENTORY CAP 3 ⇒ 2

Trinket Scaling

SCALING Level of their owner ⇒ Average level of all champs

Warding Totem

WARD DURATION 90-180 seconds (owner lv 1-18) ⇒ 90-120 seconds (game avg lv 1-18)

new

Turret Plating

Outer turrets have extra resistances early but grant gold for each 1000 health they lose.

The gist here is that turrets won't fall over at 5 minutes when the enemy team groups up and hard-pushes your lane. Instead, as they chip your turret down, they'll get some extra gold to reward their aggression while your turret becomes increasingly harder to kill. It’s win-win: Lane bullies get more turret gold than before while late-scaling champs have a more reliable window of safety to farm under turret. This also means your lane won't be decided as heavily by the success or failure of other lanes since their own turrets are harder to take too. The falloff mechanic ensures lane phase won't be too much longer on average and makes plating gold a true advantage for early-game champs since once it's gone, it's gone.

PLATING Outer turrets begin the game with five temporary plates. A plate is broken for each 1000 damage dealt to the turret. (Plates don't have health of their own.)

PLATE STRENGTH Turret plating grants 40 armor and magic resist at game start

PLATE BREAKING Dealing 1000 damage to an outer turret also causes a plate to break, granting 160 gold (divided among nearby champions) and increasing the turret's armor and magic resist by 30 until turret plating falls off

BULWARK For 20 seconds after a plate is destroyed, the turret also gains Bulwark, granting an additional 25 armor and magic resist for each nearby enemy champion past the first. Multiple instances of Bulwark stack if multiple plates are destroyed within a 20 second window.

FALLOFF Turret plating falls off at 14:00, causing outer turrets to lose ALL armor and magic resist and making unclaimed plating gold permanently inaccessible

Turret Adjustments

Outer turret health increased; resistances removed. All turret AD scaling increased. First turret bonus reduced.

The first turret bonus and outer turret changes were made to accommodate turret plating (see above). Beyond those, turret damage is going up to add risk back into to dive attempts, while global gold is going down to shrink the teamwide snowball granted by one lane pulling ahead.

First Turret Bonus

FIRST BRICK 300 gold ⇒ 150 gold (reduced to accommodate turret plating gold)

Outer Turrets

HEALTH 3800 ⇒ 5000

AD SCALING 4 per minute ⇒ 9 per minute

AD CAP 230 at 28:00 ⇒ 285 at 17:00

GLOBAL GOLD 75 ⇒ 50

Minions

Minion health, AD, and movement speed scaling increased. Cannon minions spawn faster earlier in the game.

Baron buff is meant to enable game-ending pushes, but it's become near-mandatory for a team to close out a match. We're making minion waves more effective at supporting sieges on their own so teams with huge advantages don't have to wait on Baron's respawn timer to end the game.

Global Minion Changes

UNIVERSAL STANDARD TIME All minion stats now reach their max values at 37:00 unless otherwise stated

DAMAGE TO TURRETS 60% ⇒ 50%

DAMAGE TO CHAMPIONS 60% ⇒ 50%

MOVEMENT SPEED BONUS +25 at 20 minutes ⇒ +25/50/75/100 at 10/15/20/25 minutes

BASE ATTACK SPEED 0.694 ⇒ 0.850

MINION AURA No longer increases minion damage by 70% (still increases resistances)

newBIG HEADS Super minions now show up on the minimap through fog of war

Epic Monster Respawn Time

Epic monsters respawn faster.

Shorter downtime between major objectives pushes teams to fight more frequently and increases the uptime of buffs, leading to fewer stall-outs.

ELEMENTAL DRAKE RESPAWN TIME 6 minutes ⇒ 5 minutes

ELDER DRAGON RESPAWN TIME 8 minutes ⇒ 6 minutes

BARON NASHOR RESPAWN TIME 7 minutes ⇒ 6 minutes

Elemental Drakes

First spawn is later; respawn is faster. Gold and experience increased. Buff strength increased early.

We're increasing the value of early drakes so teams are less willing to give the first few away. Pushing initial spawn time back gives teams more time to prepare for that first drake fight.

General

FIRST DRAKE SPAWN 2:30 ⇒ 5:00

RESPAWN TIME 6 minutes ⇒ 5 minutes (same note as above)

KILL GOLD 25 ⇒ 100

XP 75-300 (lv 1-18) ⇒ 150-330 (lv 1-18)

Buffs

INFERNAL DRAKE +8/16/24% AD and AP ⇒ +10/17/24% AD and AP

MOUNTAIN DRAKE +10/20/30% damage to structures and epic monsters ⇒ +16/23/30% damage to structures and epic monsters

OCEAN DRAKE 4/8/12% missing health & mana regen out of combat ⇒ 6/9/12% missing health & mana regen out of combat

CLOUD DRAKE +2/4/6% movement speed, tripled out of combat ⇒ +3/4.5/6% movement speed, tripled out of combat

Jungle Camp Experience

Camp monster experience unchanged early, reduced late.

Junglers have been slightly higher-level than intended following midseason's changes to camp experience. With the greater potential for impact that preseason offers junglers via stronger early drakes and a longer lane phase, we're toning the upper end of monster XP scaling down to get them back to their intended leveling pace.

(Note: All values below scale from monster level 1-7.)

GROMP XP 115-190 ⇒ 115-172.5

GREATER MURK WOLF XP 65-107 ⇒ 65-97.5

MURK WOLF XP 25-41.5 ⇒ 25-37.5

CRIMSON RAPTOR XP 20-33 ⇒ 20-30

RAPTOR XP 20-33 ⇒ 20-30

ANCIENT KRUG XP 100-165 ⇒ 100-150 (reminder: first clear still grants 30% reduced XP)

KRUG XP 35-58 ⇒ 35-52.5

LESSER KRUG XP 7-12 ⇒ 7-10.5

Rune Stats

Rune path bonuses removed. Select one stat from each of three rows before each game.

Go forth and pick the runes and stats you want!

removedPATH BONUSES You no longer load into game with bonus stats based on which rune paths you chose

newRUNE STATS Three stat rows have been added to the Runes interface. Pick one stat from each row. Rune stats are editable in champ select.

ROW 1 10 adaptive force (6 AD or 10 AP), 9% attack speed, or 1-10% cooldown reduction (lv 1-18)

ROW 2 10 adaptive force (6 AD or 10 AP), 5 armor, or 6 magic resist

ROW 3 15-90 health (lv 1-18), 5 armor, or 6 magic resist

Fleet Footwork

AP ratio decreased.

Now that mages aren't punished for going into Precision (via an unfavorable attack speed path bonus), we're pulling back on the AP incentive we added to Fleet Footwork earlier in the season.

HEAL AP RATIO 0.5 ability power ⇒ 0.3 ability power

updated

Celerity

Now amplifies movement speed bonuses rather than all movement speed; no longer grants adaptive force.

Movement speed and adaptive damage are two of the most generically valuable stats in League, so whenever Celerity was tuned to be strong, it was a must-pick for any champion. Removing the damage conversion lets us carve out a sharper identity: Now that we don't have to worry about excessive AD/AP in outlier cases, Celerity can grant larger movement speed bonuses for champs and teams with lots of haste effects. Switching from all movement speed to only bonus lets us push that niche further.

BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED Movement speed increased by 1.5% ⇒ Movement speed bonuses increased by 8%

removedDAMAGE CONVERSION No longer converts bonus movement speed to adaptive force

updated

Dark Harvest

Now only procs on low-health targets but no longer requires a soul to have recently been collected. Cooldown partially resets on takedowns. No longer stacks off minions and monsters.

We like Dark Harvest's infinite-scaling fantasy, but haven't been thrilled with how often it leads to a single, super-loaded basic attack deciding fights before they even begin. We're reworking it to be an execute-focused keystone that only stacks via champion combat, with a reset system to make all-out brawls even more rewarding and a broader proc model to widen the pool of potential users.

Damaging a low-health champion deals bonus damage and harvests their soul, permanently increasing the damage of future procs.

PROC THRESHOLD Dark Harvest procs against enemy champions below 50% health

PROCS ON Basic attacks ⇒ Any damage

DAMAGE 50-80 (lv 1-18) (+0.25 bonus attack damage)(+0.15 ability power) + 8 damage per harvested soul

ARAM Souls increase Dark Harvest's damage by 4 on ARAM, rather than 8

COOLDOWN 45 seconds, reset to 1.5 seconds on champion takedown

removedMINION & MONSTER SOULS Minions and monsters no longer grant souls

Ravenous Hunter

Base healing decreased.

Ravenous Hunter stands out as the clear best option in its row. We're taking its early sustain down a notch to make it less generically "the best". (Early defenses from rune stats are an indirect nerf that comes into play here as well.)

BASE HEALING 2.5% ⇒ 1.5% (bonus per stack still 2.5%)

Demolish

Charge-up time decreased. Base damage decreased.

We're giving Demolish a usability buff to make it more broadly appealing, but reducing its base damage to preemptively avoid it becoming a must-pick to snag turret plating gold.

CHARGE-UP TIME 4 seconds ⇒ 3 seconds

DAMAGE 175 (+30% max health) ⇒ 100 (+30% max health)

new

Shield Bash

Gain bonus resistances while shielded. Your next basic attack after gaining a shield deals bonus damage.

We're adding a new Resolve minor rune to the first row, aimed at champs with self-shields as well as damage dealers with shield-granting allies, items, or runes.

SHIELD While shielded, gain 1-10 (lv 1-18) bonus armor and magic resist

BASH Whenever you gain a shield, your next basic attack against an enemy champion within 2 seconds of the shield expiring deals bonus adaptive damage

DAMAGE 4-21 (lv 1-18) + 8.5% of the shield's strength + 1.5% bonus health

POSITION Row 1

Bone Plating

Damage block increased but duration decreased. Moved to row 2.

One of the subtle strengths of Bone Plating is that it's the only pure defense rune in Resolve's first row, therefore the only pick for champs who want defense in every slot. Adding flat resistances to the mix via Rune Stats would've made defense stacking overwhelming, so we're moving Bone Plating down to row 2. We're also sharpening it into an anti-burst rune to make it less generically effective.

BUFF DURATION 3 seconds ⇒ 1.5 seconds

BLOCK AMOUNT 15-40 (lv 1-18) ⇒ 25-50 (lv 1-18)

POSITION Moved from row 1 to row 2

removed

Chrysalis

Chrysalis was created to allow damage dealers to splash Resolve by compensating for the lack of damage stats offered by Resolve's path bonus. Selectable rune stats solve this problem, so Chrysalis is no longer needed.

REMOVED Removed

updated

Overgrowth

"Stacks" now grant flat health rather than percent health. At 120 minion and monster deaths, gain a percent health bonus.

Switching to flat health as a "stack" bonus makes Overgrowth more appealing for non-tanks who go Resolve while the new unlockable percent health bonus keeps it rewarding for tanks too.

BODY COUNT +0.2% max health per 8 nearby minion or monster deaths ⇒ +3 health per 8 nearby minion or monster deaths

newFULL HOUSE At 120 minion and monster deaths, also gain an additional +2.5% max health

Kleptomancy

Now procs off the next two basic attacks after using an ability rather than just the first. Wards no longer drop after 20 minutes.

Giving Kleptomancy a second proc broadens its user base beyond ~~Ezreal~~ champions whose abilities either reset or count as the basic attack that procs Klepto. We're also removing wards from the loot table after 20 minutes since at that point inventories are often filled with component items and the wards just immediately drop onto the ground.

PROC MODEL After using an ability, your next basic attack ⇒ next two basic attacks will grant 5 gold... or something nicer

DROPS Wards no longer drop after 20 minutes

DROP RATE Item drop rates decreased to account for the additional proc per spellcast

Bounties

Kill bounties increased at 4+ kills. Minion & monster gold advantages now factor into bounties. Bounties on the losing team reduced. Bounty payout per kill now capped.

The goal of our bounty changes is to help teams bounce back from slight to moderate deficits via higher rewards for successful comeback plays and lower payouts for dying when you're the one keeping your team in the game. We're also making a long-requested change: Bounties won't change until combat ends, so if you grab a bunch of kills in a teamfight, your value won't go up until you've at least had a chance to spend your gold. Finally, large bounties have been added to the scoreboard so you can spot the highest-value target to take out.

Kill Bounties

1-3 KILLS 0/150/300 gold (unchanged)

4 KILLS 375 gold ⇒ 400 gold

5 KILLS 450 gold ⇒ 500 gold

6 KILLS 500 gold ⇒ 600 gold

ADDITIONAL KILLS +50 gold ⇒ +100 gold

newMinion & Monster Gold Bounties

newBUY THE FARM If, since their last death, a champion has earned 250 more gold from minions and monsters than the enemy team's average* during that time, their bounty increases by 50 gold, plus another 50 gold for each additional 150 gold their advantage grows by thereafter.

MATH *Average is determined by dividing the enemy team's minion and monster gold by four, rather than five, based on the four sources of income on Summoner's Rift (top/mid/bot/jungle). Modes with smaller teams divide by the number of champs per team instead (ex. 3 for Twisted Treeline).

Bounty Clarity

newHIT LIST Bounties over 150 gold are now visible in the scoreboard

Bounty Payout Modifications

newREPUTATION Bounties no longer increase mid-combat. If a champion earns multiple kills and then immediately dies, those kills will count toward their next death instead.

newHEAVY LIFTING Bounty payouts for killing members of the losing team are reduced, down to a minimum of 20% normal values if the losing team is massively behind

newPAYOUT CAP A single kill can no longer grant more than 1000 total gold to the killer. Any bounty gold past the cap rolls over to that champion's next death.

Minimum Kill Gold

Minimum gold granted for killing an enemy with 6+ deaths increased.

With the bounty increases above, there were weird cases where killing someone who was far behind felt like the wrong decision, since the gold you got was so little compared to the gold you could potentially get if they manage to accrue a bounty. Doubling the minimum kill gold should prevent those cases from cropping up.

0-5 DEATHS 300/274/220/176/140/112 gold (unchanged)

6 DEATHS 90 gold ⇒ 100 gold

7 DEATHS 72 gold ⇒ 100 gold

8 DEATHS 58 gold ⇒ 100 gold

9+ DEATHS 50 gold ⇒ 100 gold

Teleport

Channel time reduced but can no longer be canceled.

Channeling Teleport is often enough to deter enemies from an aggressive push or dive, even if you have no intention of following through. The mind game is interesting, but should be accompanied by a higher commitment. Laners can still use Teleport to shut down cross-map plays elsewhere, but now they'll sacrifice more tempo in their own lane to do so.

Also, if you pick a bad Teleport, there's no going back so you're probably gonna die. Click carefully.

CHANNEL DURATION 4.5 seconds ⇒ 4 seconds

newCOMMIT Teleport can't be canceled by its caster once cast

AESTHETICS We've changed the colors and slightly adjusted several Icons in the character stats panel ("C" menu) for easier readability. This change is in preparation for broader tooltip readability improvements coming this season!

The first elements of Ranked 2019 are arriving.

We're updating banners in the lobby and on your profile to show your highest earned rank from the last season. On your profile, this replaces the insignia that previously represented your past season's rank. You can switch off your past rank banner at any time by opening the summoner icon selector on your profile or in the upper right of the client.

A DARK, MYSTERIOUS PAST Toggle between your past rank’s banner or a plain one by clicking your summoner icon on the profile page

RIP INSIGNIAS The small profile trim displaying your past season’s rank has been removed

We've reworked the lobby to include the new past rank banners to get ready for Ranked armor in 8.24. There’s no new functionality, we just wanted to give you a heads-up that buttons will be in slightly different places.

This change should help us clean up some technical issues we’ve seen with missions over the last few patches, like skipped ceremonies or delayed rewards.

THIS RECORDING WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN... The missions log will only hang on to missions for a maximum of 45 days

Made a number of fixes to missing and hard-to-read VFX across LeBlanc and a few of her skins:
