Patch 10.2 & TFT Notes

Rift Herald takes a little too long to defeat, so teams lessen the priority on it compared to other objectives. We want her to get a little love too, so we're looking to lessen the gap between the pros and cons of killing her.

Base Stats

• Caitlyn no longer gets bonus Headshots by inputting the attack-move command near the target while they are trapped and netted simultaneously
• Caitlyn can no longer use attack-move to attack trapped or netted targets while she is crowd controlled.
• Braum can no longer intercept Elder Dragon’s fireball with E - Unbreakable and die from it instead of the ally he was protecting
• After casting W - Yordle Snap Trap into Q - Piltover Peacemaker, Caitlyn's basic attacks are no longer temporarily slower than they should be
• Sylas' W - Kingslayer now properly goes on cooldown, deals damage, and heals him if he hits the same target with E2 - Abscond
• Sylas is properly unable to cast E2 - Abscond into Q - Chain Lash after casting a stolen ultimate, after losing the ability to do so in 10.1
• Miss Fortune's basic attacks no longer continues to apply bonus damage from Nami's E - Tidecaller's Blessing after consuming three stacks of Passive - Love Tap
• Upgraded Relic Shield, Spectral Sickle, Steel Shoulderguards, and Spellthief's Edge wards now properly show their vision range indicator
• Lux's E - Lucent Singularity no longer reveals areas outside of its range

• Casting Q - Bone Skewer no longer makes Pyke unresponsive for a few moments
• Various champions' abilities are no longer visible or audible in Fog of War if cast outside their Field of Vision
• Completing any of the support items' quests and then selling it to repurchase a different support item will no longer automatically complete the quest for that second support item

Game Length

• PVE Rounds Planning Phase Time: 30 seconds ⇒ 20 seconds

Item System

• Small Loot Boxes: Removed the "4 gold drop" possibility (average value down 15%)
• Medium Loot Boxes: Removed the "7 gold drop" possibility (average value down 3%)
• Removed the worst case scenarios for item drops through the course of a game and especially in the first three PVE rounds. In short, we raised the RNG "floor".
• Full items now drop significantly less.
• Full items only drop if you are already rolling item components. The RNG "ceiling" has not changed, but you are more likely to get a full item as you approach that ceiling.
• You can no longer get two full item drops in the same game from PVE rounds. This change doesn't include epic monster rewards or the carousel.
• Drastically reduced the chance of Force of Nature appearing on the carousel.

Blademaster

• Blademasters can no longer store more extra attacks than the maximum your trait level provides (1/2/3). In short, this means that it will be much less likely, if not impossible, for your champions to go "infinite" off their auto-attacks. Specifically this nerfs (4) and (6) Blademaster.
