Steel Legion Garen Villain Indicator

[This isn't new to this patch, just wasn't previously highlighted in our coverage for this cycle.]

Here's a preview of Steel Legion Garen's unique Villain indicator.
 Once in R kill range, the indicator opens up into Steel Legion Garen's sword.

Balance Changes

* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical changes. The changes you see below may be lacking context or other accompanying changes that didn't make it in - don't freak out! These are not official notes.

Champions
[JUGGERNAUT] Darius

[JUGGERNAUT] Garen

  • Decisive Strike (Q) movement speed duration now 2/2.5/3/3.5/4 from 1.5/2.25/3/3.75/4.5
  • Courage (W):
    • Armor/MR gain per kill lowered to .25 from .3
      • [NOTE: So now requires 120 unit kills for the maximum 30 armor/mr effect]
  • Judgement (E):
    • Total AD ratio reduced to .46/.47/.48/.49/.5 from .47/.49/.51/.53/.55
    • [RE ADDED EFFECT] Judgement can once again critically strike for bonus damage

[JUGGERNAUT] Skarner

  • Crystal Spires (Passive) movement speed bonus lowered to 100 from 150.
  • Fracture (E)
    • [NEW EFFECT] Crystalizing enemies with Fracture (E) or Impale (R) now grants Skarner Crystal Charge (the movespeed/attackspeed/mana restore buff from his passive ) for the duration of the disable and reduces the cooldown of FRACTURE by the duration of the disable.
      • Note: This means when Skarner stuns with his E he gains 100 movespeed, [42% + 6% per level] attack speed, and 3% max mana restore per second for 1 second.
      • Note: This means when Skarner uses his R he gains 100 movespeed, [42% + 6% per level] attack speed, and 3% max mana restore per second for 1.75 seconds.
      • Note: This means an E stun reduces the cooldown of E by 1 second and using R reduces the CD of E by 1.75 seconds
    • Cooldown increased to 13/12.5/12/11.5/11 from 12/11.5/11/10.5/10

[JUGGERNAUT] Mordekaiser

  • Siphon of Destruction (E) range increased to 675 from 650*
  • [*Context from CertainlyT: "As part of the re-work, I fixed a bug that caused Mordekaiser's E to hit units even when they left its area of effect. This left the spell's effective range feeling too short. Siphon of Destruction: Range 650 >> 675"

Ahri
  • Essence Theft (Passive) healing changed to [3/5/9/18 at level 1/6/11/16] from [2 + (1x Level)*
