Patch 10.7 Notes

"Hello my children, welcome to 10.7! 

First of all, we know we’ve been crowing about it for awhile, but now it’s finally here—the spookiest of all the scarecrows in the land is back! (and Tedrick is nowhere to be found…) 

We've also continued to work on matchmaking in Ranked Solo/Duo games by aiming to balance premade duos on both teams. Additionally, you'll see improvements to both One-For-All (champion and system changes) and ARAM (updated Weekly Free Rotations and champion balance changes). 

We hope you’re staying safe. Now let’s get into it! 

Take this portal if you're looking for TFT's patch notes! 

HANNA “SHIO SHOUJO” WOO 

TRICIA "MOM CAT" TAN 

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS 

Furyhorn Cosplay Veigar, Pengu Cosplay Tristana, Pajama Guardian Cosplay Urgot will be available on April 1, 2020. Worldbreaker Sion, Malzahar, and Maokai will be available on April 9, 2020. 

PREMADE BALANCE IN RANKED 

As we mentioned last patch, we've been working on some matchmaking improvements like Autofill Balance to make sure that each game of League feels as fair as possible. With this follow-up change, we'll be attempting to make sure that when one team in a Solo/Duo game has a duo, the other team should have one as well. 

This change will only be applying to Ranked Solo/Duo for right now. We’ll be looking into adding it to Flex and Normal games, but since premades can be of all different sizes in those modes, making them equivalent across teams can be much more complicated. Once we've had a chance to see these changes live, we'll try to expand to queues with different group sizes. 

CHAMPIONS 

UPDATED 

FIDDLESTICKS
The Ancient Fear 

The spooky scarecrow is ripping out brains in 10.7. Now with 100% more oogie and boogie.

• Fiddlesticks Biography
• Fiddlesticks Gameplay Preview
• Fiddlesticks Champion Theme
• Fiddlesticks: Terror in Demacia Champion Update Trailer 

High-res versions of Fiddlesticks' updated splashes are available on League Displays! 

AKALI
R cooldown decreased. 

In an earlier patch, we adjusted Akali's ultimate so that its targeting was a little less free to access, creating a huge cost for what was previously an easy-to-pop-off ability. But using her ultimate is an important part of her gameplay satisfaction, so we're loosening the leash on it a bit now. 

R - PERFECT EXECUTION

• COOLDOWN 120/90/60 seconds ⇒ 100/80/60 seconds

CORKI
W direct hit burn duration increased. 

Corki's been having fun since our last buff, but can still afford another small one, so we're back with round two—get ready for some package boogaloo. 

W - SPECIAL DELIVERY

• DIRECT HIT BURN DURATION 1.5 seconds ⇒ 2 seconds

GALIO
R now grants a magic damage shield to all allies in the area. 

Galio’s been in a sad state, and we’ve been working on reigniting his essence as an anti-magic guardian. Our previous buffs didn’t seem to move the needle, so we’re trying something a bit more adventurous this time by giving him the ability to more effectively counter magic damage for both him and his team. 

R - HERO’S ENTRANCE

• NEW ANTI-MAGIC BULWARK Now grants E - Shield of Durand's passive magic damage shield to all allied champions in the area he casted it at for 5 seconds.

GAREN
Passive cooldown increased. Q movement speed duration decreased early, scales more later. 

Our man of the Vanguard soldiered through his 10.6 nerfs and has continued to overperform, especially in the mid lane. Taking another stab at him by lowering his early utility. 

PASSIVE - PERSEVERANCE

• COOLDOWN 7 seconds ⇒ 8 seconds

Q - DECISIVE STRIKE

• MOVEMENT SPEED DURATION 1.5/2/2.5/3/3.5 seconds ⇒ 1/1.65/2.3/2.95/3.6 seconds

IVERN
E base damage increased. R cooldown decreased. 

Ivern got the short end of the stick with some of the more recent jungle system changes, and we’re not brushing that off. We’re attempting to give him back that power, and then some. 

E - TRIGGERSEED

• BASE DAMAGE 60/80/100/120/140 ⇒ 70/95/120/145/170

R - DAISY!

• COOLDOWN 160/140/120 seconds ⇒ 140/130/120 seconds

KAI’SA
E cooldown decreased later. 

Supercharged, superfly. We’re giving Kai’Sa more opportunities for late-game outplaying while also maintaining her takedown potential. 

E - SUPERCHARGE

• COOLDOWN 16/15.5/15/14.5/14 seconds ⇒ 16/15/14/13/12 seconds

NASUS
W target range increased. E target armor reduction ratio increased. 

We wanted to increase Nasus' utility since that's the quality that more experienced players value and can capitalize on. 

W - WITHER

• RANGE 600 ⇒ 700

E - SPIRIT FIRE

• ARMOR REDUCTION 15/20/25/30/35% ⇒ 25/30/35/40/45%

NOCTURNE
Base health regen and magic resist growth decreased. 

Midturne has gone from meme to nightmare and quite frankly, there’s enough spook with Fiddle in town. We’re cutting out some of Nocturne’s general power, focusing on letting his opponents attrition him out of lane and controlling his scale potential before going full on darkness. 

BASE STATS

• HEALTH REGEN 8.5 ⇒ 7
• MAGIC RESIST GROWTH 1.25 ⇒ 0.75

RIVEN
Base health and health regen increased. 

Riven has been struggling in the laning phase so we're hesitantly handing back a little power, as a treat, to give her a little more breathing room while farming. 

BASE STATS

• BASE HEALTH 555.48 ⇒ 560
• HEALTH REGEN 7 ⇒ 8.5

TALON
W initial base damage decreased; return base damage decreased, damage ratio increased. 

We all know Talon holds his blades close to his heart, but he's letting them go too often. We’re not taking them away from him, but he’s proving to be a menace in higher skilled play, where his early game waveclear allows him to roam far more and far earlier. This patch, we’re reducing his reliance on said blades so that he stays more in line (and in lane). 

W - RAKE

• INITIAL DAMAGE 50/65/80/95/110 (+0.4 bonus attack damage) ⇒ 45/60/75/90/105 (+0.4 bonus attack damage)
• RETURN DAMAGE 70/85/100/115/130 (+0.6 bonus attack damage) ⇒ 45/65/85/105/125 (+0.7 bonus attack damage)

WUKONG
Passive bonus armor decreased later. E base damage decreased later; now allows W and R to be queued up during its dash. 

Wukong has been outperforming our expectations after his mini rework in 10.6 despite our success at bringing his multiple positions closer in power to each other. We will continue to fine tune him as players master the rework. 

PASSIVE - STONE SKIN

• BONUS ARMOR 5-11 (level 1-18) ⇒ 5-9 (level 1-18)

E - NIMBUS STRIKE

• BASE DAMAGE 80/120/160/200/240 ⇒ 80/110/140/170/200
• ABILITY QUEUE Wukong's W - Warrior Trickster and R - Cyclone can now be queued up during his dash

XIN ZHAO
Passive base heal increased later. 

We wanted to spruce up our warrior of Demacia by upping his durability and endurance through difficult fights. 

PASSIVE - DETERMINATION

• BASE HEAL 10-78 (levels 1-18) ⇒ 10-112 (levels 1-18) 

RUNES 

CONDITIONING
Activation time increased. 

Conditioning has been overperforming, particularly for tanks and fighters. It should be a little more costly to one's early power for what it gives in the late-game. Not only is it a fine choice for anyone, it’s mandatory for tanks and fighters, where it stands head and shoulders above any other single rune.

• ACTIVATION TIME 10:00 ⇒ 12:00 

PHASE RUSH
Movement speed for melee champions increased. 

Phase Rush remains suboptimal on melee champions, even for those who traditionally have opted into this kind of Keystone. Looking to make it more tempting for those folks.

• MOVEMENT SPEED 30-50% on melee champions ⇒ 40-60% on melee champions 

ONE-FOR-ALL BALANCE CHANGES 

We hope you have all been enjoying One-For-All as a part of our Galaxies event! Based on feedback and data from PBE, we're making some balance changes that will hopefully make your One-For-Alls always a ball. This means general system changes as well as ARAM-style individual champion balance changes.

ARAM FREE TO PLAY ROTATION AND BALANCE CHANGES 

We're updating the way free-to-play champions are chosen for ARAM. Before 10.7, the previous three Weekly Free Rotations were available to play in ARAM. 

Going forward, we're making the following 65 champions always free to play in ARAM:  

Aatrox, Ahri, Akali, Amumu, Annie, Ashe, Brand, Braum, Caitlyn, Cho'Gath, Darius, Draven, Ekko, Ezreal, Fiora, Fizz, Garen, Graves, Irelia, Janna, Jarvan IV, Jax, Jhin, Jinx, Karma, Karthus, Katarina, Kayle, Kha'Zix, LeBlanc, Lee Sin, Leona, Lucian, Lulu, Lux, Malphite, Maokai, Master Yi, Miss Fortune, Mordekaiser, Morgana, Nautilus, Nidalee, Pantheon, Pyke, Quinn, Renekton, Riven, Ryze, Sivir, Sona, Soraka, Thresh, Tristana, Tryndamere, Twisted Fate, Twitch, Varus, Vayne, Veigar, Vel'Koz, Vladimir, Wukong, Xayah, and Zed, in addition to the current Weekly Free Rotation. 

Doing things this way allows us to give ARAM players a broader and more consistent set of champions to pull from, as well as making the free-to-play pool easier to understand for new players. We hope you enjoy, and we'll catch you out on the Abyss! 

10.7 Buffs

• BARD +10% damage dealt & -15% damage taken ⇒ +15% damage dealt & -15% damage taken

Fiddlesticks Champion Update

The wait is over and the Fiddlesticks champion update is headed to live servers with Patch 10.7!

Fiddlesticks, the Ancient Fear

Updated Skins 

Each of Fiddlesticks' skins were updated:

Spectral Fiddlesticks

"A gruesome spectre, rumored to stand eternally watchful over a peculiar book of fables. Brave knights and cruel sorceresses alike have tried in vain to reach the tome, but none have ever returned. Perhaps that lost queendom of old isn't so fictional after all..."

Union Jack Fiddlesticks

"Pip pip. Cheerio."

Bandito Fiddlesticks

Pumpkinhead Fiddlesticks

"Carriage drivers are cautioned to stick to well-traveled highways, especially during the witching season. Strange things can happen on those old, moonlit roads, where no birds sing, and something enormous moves within the fog."

Fiddle Me Timbers

"Yar har, fiddle-dee-dee."

Surprise Party Fiddlesticks

"Everyone told you hiring a clown would be a good idea. "Clowns are great for parties," they said. But now everyone's missing, and the power is out, and something's laughing just down the hall..."

Surprise Party Fiddlesticks has a unique voiceover:

Dark Candy Fiddlesticks

"As lights go out across the Winterlands in preparation for Snowdown season, something ancient and terrible rises from the darkest corners of the Poro King's lands. Devoid of thought or purpose, it hunts for holiday revelers as if possessed, cutting down anything that crosses its path."

Risen Fiddlesticks

"Once upon a time in a faraway land, a jealous young emperor invoked profane summoning rites in exchange for power. Yet when the ancient horror Fiddlesticks stepped forth, it did not aid the boy--and in an instant, his empire was utterly destroyed. The fiend was trapped beneath the ruins... until now."

Praetorian Fiddlesticks

Praetorian Fiddlesticks' 6 chromas were also updated:

Furyhorn Cosplay Veigar

1350 RP

"50% fury, 50% horn, 100% evil."

Pengu Cosplay Tristana

1350 RP

"Weh!"

Pajama Guardian Cosplay Urgot

"A Star Guardian superfan of almost impossible proportions, Urgot worked really hard on this outfit for the fan meet, so please be respectful."

Worldbreaker Malzahar

1350 RP

"With the world revitalized, there came another wave of titans. Most fearsome of all was Malzahar, the once-great protector of animals. Vengeful over the horrors of the previous extinction, the holy shaman succumbed to anger, and there, in the depths of his rage, his magic turned dark, fueling a fury to end all life-- from the depths of the seas to the peaks of mountains."

Worldbreaker Maokai

1350 RP

"An immense tree-like golem, Maokai grew from the very roots of the world, charred though they were by the last annihilation. Burdened to revive the world after every destructive cycle, he wanders for all eternity, reseeding the earth with his magical saplings, making way for the renewal of life-- only for it to be undone once more."

Worldbreaker Sion

1350 RP

"A once towering fortress toppled during the last annihilation, the thing called Sion was given consciousness by Malzahar, and raised up to become the purest titan of death and destruction. Now, imbued with ravenous hatred, he blasts the terrain with every step, hellbent on culling any instance of life."

Teamfight Tactics Patch 10.7 Notes

Check out the full TFT Patch 10.7 notes:

"Welcome Rebel Scum, 

One patch in and things are looking good in the Galaxies. The big highlight of this patch: introducing the new set mechanic into the wild. Three new "Galaxies" bring with them unique rules that will force you to adapt your tried and true strategies. 

On the balance front, we’re taking some power from the premier Tier 5 units. They’re supposed to be strong—and still will be—but they’re currently functioning too well without team support (looking at you GP). Don’t underestimate the power of the Dark Star, as they’re getting a fancy little rework to help their consistency. And, perhaps the most important change, your champions will now celebrate with you when you win a round. 

Take this portal if you're looking for League's patch notes! 

Let's get into it! 

BLAKE "RIOT BEERNANA" EDWARDS
