Systems

Player Damage Adjustments

With the loot changes, we’ve noticed a slight acceleration in game speed leading to players going out much quicker than we intend. So we’re lowering player damage slightly.

1 Star, Tier 2: 2 ⇒ 1

2 Star, Tier 2: 3 ⇒ 2

3 Star, Tier 1: 4 ⇒ 3

3 Star, Tier 2: 5 ⇒ 4

3 Star Tier 3: 6 ⇒ 5

Mystery Box System Adjustments

The new system has been a positive addition to the game, but needs some fine tuning, so we’re making a few adjustments.

Common boxes average gold value decreased.

Uncommon boxes average gold value decreased very slightly.

Slightly lowered the odds of Gold Boxes showing up.

Tier 4 units can no longer drop from Uncommon boxes.

Slightly increased the odds of Neeko’s Help dropping from all boxes

Traits

Dragon

Due to how easy it is to get Magic Resist and the lack of options on how to play around it, we’re lowering the strength of Dragon & Dragon’s Claw.

Dragon (2): 83% Magic Reduction ⇒ 75% Magic Reduction

Glacial

Glacial Procs are a little too powerful, so we’re making a similar consistency change that we did to Swordbreaker and applying it to Glacial.

Glacial Stun duration: 2sec ⇒ 1.5sec

Glacial Stun chance: 20/30/45 ⇒ 20/33/50

Void

With the addition of Kai’Sa, we wanted to lower the power of the early Void. However, we still want to open up more build options and reward those who fully commit to the void.

(2) One random void champion deals true damage this combat

(4) All your void champions deal true damage this combat

Yordle

We’ve removed RFC's ability to ignore dodges, so now it only exists on Wild. Because of that, we’re pulling a bit of power back out of Yordle. The introduction of mittens also means we’re adding a new 9 piece chase option.

Yordle Dodge chance: 35%/60% ⇒ 30%/60%/90%

General Trait Adjustments

Assassin: (3) 75% Crit damage & 10% Crit chance / (6) 150% Crit damage & 25% Crit chance / (9) 225% Crit damage & 40% Crit chance ⇒ (3) 75% Crit damage & 10% Crit chance / (6) 150% Crit damage & 20% Crit chance / (9) 225% Crit damage & 30% Crit chance

Ninja Attack Damage and Ability Power: 50/70 ⇒ 50/80

Noble: 25 Heal on hit ⇒ 30 Heal on hit

Shapeshifter Bonus Health: 60%/120% ⇒ 60%/100%

Ranger: 30%/70% ⇒ 25%/70%

Champions

Anivia

Anivia has been underperforming for a 5 cost, so we’re changing her identity to be a strong unit that slows the attack speed of the back line.

Health: 700 ⇒ 750

Attack Speed: 0.6 ⇒ 0.8

Starting/Total Mana: 0/100 ⇒ 50/125

Ability Targeting: Random ⇒ Furthest Target

Kassadin

Kassadin has proven problematic as a dps champ who can also gain a shield and also drain mana. We’re shifting his identity into a front-line sorcerer and pulling out some of the damage.

Attack Damage: 50 ⇒ 40

Attack Speed: 0.6 ⇒ 0.55

Armor: 25 ⇒ 35

Mana Steal & Shield Power: 20/40/60 ⇒ 25/50/75

Miss Fortune

We’re adjusting Miss Fortune to be a powerful auto attacker for gunslingers who rarely casts. When she does cast, it’s a big one!

Health: 700 ⇒ 750

Attack Speed: 0.85 ⇒ 0.95

Mana: 0/75 ⇒ 0/150

Ability Damage: 900/1300/1700 ⇒ 1300/2000/2700
