"Okay, this is a long one. We've got a big list of small tweaks to bring more razzle dazzle as we gear up for Worlds! We think the meta’s at a good place, so we’re carefully mixing things up without throwing caution to the wind (although Yasuo’s down there somewhere…).
This means we’re bringing up the zhuzh, from marksfolks (Miss Fortune, Lucian, Tristana) to junglefolks (Evelynn, Hecarim, Skarner). Which also means we’re un-zhuzhing those who have been omnipresent picks (Karma, Syndra, Volibear) to open up their counterpicks and to give their enemies more chances to retaliate.
We’re also tidying up some champions by giving them more cohesive identities and sharpening their strengths, while giving others more clarity in their kits.
Finally, on a housekeeping note, the dev team is taking some AFK time in the near future. For League, this means 10.16 will last twice as long as a normal patch and we'll be skipping patch 10.17. We're planning to ship a set of balance changes around the time 10.17 would have launched, though, so keep an eye out for those details. The next full patch will be 10.18!
So zoom your way down—and once you’re well-read, you’ll be well-ready to take on the third ranked split of the season, the world, etc, etc.
Take this portal if you're looking for TFT's patch notes!"

Summoner's Rift Ranked Split 3 Begins!
On August 9th at 11:59 PM local time, the third and final ranked split of the season will begin, but with a little something extra this time! In addition to the usual split rewards, we'll also be granting a random series 1 Eternal capsule to anyone earning 750 Split points.
Champions
[NEW] Yone
The Unforgotten
Yone wields his swords in 10.16!
High-res versions of Yone's splashes are available on League Displays!
Akali
Q base damage increased. E damage type changed.
Now that Akali’s been in the shadows of Pro, we can help her hit the (assassin's) mark for all levels of play by bringing up her early game damage. We’re also streamlining the damage type in her kit so that she’s able to itemize more effectively and deal more to enemies who aren’t building defensively.
Q - Five Point Strike
E - Shuriken Flip
- BASE DAMAGE :: 30/55/80/105/130 >>> 35/60/85/110/135
- DAMAGE TYPE :: Physical >>> Magic
Ashe
Q bonus attack speed decreased later.
We’re pulling back on a scaling Ashe buff we gave her in 10.8 to make more space for other marksmen with less early game power and utility to shine late game against her.
Q - Ranger’s Focus
- BONUS ATTACK SPEED :: 20/30/40/50/60% >>> 20/25/30/35/40%
Bard
Base health decreased. W maximum heal decreased.
Bard has been chiming in quite a bit, especially in Pro play, so we’re toning down his power in early game to open up more avenues for counter picks and in-lane pressure.
Base Stats
W - Caretaker’s Shrine
- HEALTH :: 575 >>> 560
- MAXIMUM HEAL :: 70/110/150/190/230 >>> 55/95/135/175/215
Evelynn
Q cooldown decreased; hitting a monster no longer refunds 50% of its cooldown.
Spiking some power into Eve’s Q so that she can bring her charm into the jungle and in early skirmishes. We’ve also found that her Q cooldown refund from monsters has been a source of confusion and annoyance for players, so we’re taking that out for more gameplay clarity.
Q - Hate Spike
- COOLDOWN :: 8 seconds >>> 4 seconds
- [Removed] NO MORE HATE :: Hitting a monster no longer refunds 50% of Hate Spike’s cooldown
Fiora
Q cooldown decreased; on-hit cooldown reduction decreased.
As we near the big games, we’ve identified a lack of scaling skirmishers who can keep pressure in a side lane. Because of this, we want to keep Fiora in tip-top form, and to be able to offer teams more strategy. We’re helping her <em>strike quickly, strike deftly!</em> in early fights, along with increasing her mobility for split pushing. To balance it out, we’re also lightly tapping down her cooldown refund.
Q - Lunge
- COOLDOWN :: 16/14/12/10/8 seconds >>> 13/11.25/9.5/7.75/6 seconds
- ENEMY HIT COOLDOWN REDUCTION :: 60% (enemy hits refund 6.4/5.6/4.8/4/3.2 seconds) >>> 50% (enemy hits refund 6.5/5.63/4.75/3.9/3 seconds)
Hecarim
E bonus movement speed increased over time.
The Horseman’s been at a trot, so we’re ponying up by boosting his potential for ganks and engage. Note that this added movement speed procs his passive for that sweet, sweet bonus damage.
E - Devastating Charge
- BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED :: 25-75% (over the first 3 seconds, with fourth second at maximum value) >>> 25-100% (over the first 3 seconds, with fourth second at maximum value)
Jax
E cooldown decreased.
Now, it’s Jax’s turn! Similar to Fiora, we’re hoping to bring the Grandmaster back onto the scene by making him a more viable counterpick... with more counterstrikes. With his E more readily available, he’ll be able to see fights through in a different manner.
E - Counterstrike
- COOLDOWN :: 16/14/12/10/8 seconds >>> 14/12.5/11/9.5/8 seconds
Jhin
Passive final shot critical damage against structures increased.
Jhin hasn’t been able to call the shots, especially around towers. We’re loosening his passive crit damage restriction from all the way back in 6.4 so that he can take down structures more effectively and keep up with peers with expanded abilities for damaging towers.
Passive - Whisper
- FINAL SHOT DAMAGE TO STRUCTURES :: 1.2 total attack damage >>> 1.5 total attack damage (now the same damage as a normal critical strike)
Jinx
R bonus damage now uncapped.
Fixed a bug in Jinx’s R where the damage cap against monsters was capped against champions instead, majorly impacting her power against enemies with high health. We’re bringing the super, the mega, and the death by uncapping the damage against all targets!
R - Super Mega Death Rocket!
- BONUS DAMAGE CAP BUGFIX :: 375 for main target against champions >>> Now uncapped against all targets
Karma
Q cost now flat; cooldown increased.
Karma has continued to be a strong multi-role flex champion who tends to have too much control and safety, so we’re trimming down her solo lane agency by pulling back on a spell that she relies on for waveclear.
Q - Inner Flame
- COST :: 50/55/60/65/70 mana >>> 65 mana
- COOLDOWN :: 7/6.5/6/5.5/5 seconds >>> 9/8.5/8/7.5/7 seconds
Karthus
Q damage ratio decreased.
Now that we’re seeing an increase in Karthus players and higher win rates, we’re walking back one of the bigger buffs from 10.14 that’s lent him more strength than anticipated.
Q - Lay Waste
- DAMAGE RATIO :: 0.35 ability power >>> 0.3 ability power
Kha’Zix
Q isolated target bonus damage decreased.
The bug consumed, and the bug adapted. Over the course of the past few patches and our last buff, Kha’Zix has crept above the pack for our skilled players, so we're pulling slightly back on the same lever in 10.14 to find a happy middle ground.
Q - Taste Their Fear
- ISOLATED TARGET BONUS DAMAGE :: 120% >>> 110%
Lucian
Q damage increased. R total shots fired increased.
Lucian has been out of meta for a while, losing consistently to his more meta peers with longer ranges, even in beginning phases of the game. We’re putting him back on the path of vengeance by increasing his power.
Q - Piercing Light
R - The Culling
- DAMAGE :: 85/120/155/190/225 >>> 95/130/16 /200/235
- TOTAL SHOTS FIRED :: 20/25/30 >>> 22/28/34
Miss Fortune
Base attack damage increased.
Pirate lady’s been in a misfortunate place, and she’s no fool. We’re giving her a small love tap to make sure she’s relevant as an early game marksman.
Base Stats
- ATTACK DAMAGE :: 50 >>> 52
Morgana
Q cooldown decreased.
Bot lane has been awash with dive-heavy supports with strong CC, so we’re helping Morgana unshackle her potential as a promising counterpick.
Q - Dark Binding
- COOLDOWN :: 11 seconds >>> 10 seconds
Nautilus
W shield decreased.
Naut has been anchored as a persistent menace in Pro bot lanes, so we’re lowering his resilience to harass and the reliability of his early game all-ins.
W - Titan’s Wrath
- SHIELD :: 60/70/80/90/100 >>> 45/55/65/75/85
Neeko
Q damage increased; bloom damage increased.
Giving Neeko some love in her trading and waveclear against other prominent mids. We think this will help her come into her own, you know, for her to really be herself and no one else.
Q - Blooming Burst
- DAMAGE :: 70/115/160/205/250 >>> 80/125/170/215/260
- BLOOM DAMAGE :: 35/55/75/95/115 >>> 40/60/80/100/120
Nocturne
Passive cooldown increased; enemy champions and monsters on-hit cooldown refund increased.
Nocturne is chopping down mid laners at an alarming rate in Average play. Trimming his pushing and sustain power, while letting him be at a similar power level in the jungle.
Passive - Umbral Blades
- COOLDOWN :: 10 seconds >>> 14 seconds
- ON-HIT COOLDOWN REFUND :: Basic attacks against enemy champions and monsters reduce Umbra Blades' cooldown by 2 seconds >>> Basic attacks against enemy champions and monsters reduce Umbra Blades' cooldown by 3 seconds
Rakan
R bonus movement speed increased.
Rakan may have the moves, but he still needs to get a move on. We’re amping up the tempo so that he can beat down enemies as one of the premier engage support champions.
R - The Quickness
- BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED :: 50% >>> 75%
Sett
W base damage decreased later. E base damage decreased later.
Reeling back Sett players who rely on his base values with very tanky builds to plow their way through games.
W - Haymaker
E - Facebreaker
- BASE DAMAGE :: 80/105/130/155/180 >>> 80/100/120/140/160
- BASE DAMAGE :: 50/80/110/140/170 >>> 50/70/90/110/130
Skarner
Q total damage ratio increased; cost decreased.
Even with our last round of buffs in 10.15, Skarner still feels like he’s in hibernation with his kin. We’re doing another pass to put a bit more sting in his...stinger?
Q - Crystal Slash
- TOTAL DAMAGE RATIO :: 0.15 attack damage >>> 0.20 attack damage
- COST :: 15 mana >>> 10 mana
Syndra
Q base damage decreased later.
We’re continuing to sharpen Syndra’s power as she remains as a dominant pick in Pro play. This time, we’re honing in on her oppressive command in lane, especially from early to mid game.
Q - Dark Sphere
- BASE DAMAGE :: 70/110/150/190/230 >>> 70/105/140/175/210
Tristana
E now deals 1% increased damage per 3% critical strike chance.
Tristana has been fairly irrelevant since the nerfs to her early game attack range—except for in mid lane, where she’s still able to bully out certain champs. We’re gunning for her to be a viable marksman by buffing her bot lane crit build.
E - Explosive Charge
- [NEW] HERE COMES THE BOOM :: Explosive Charge now deals 1% increased damage per 3% critical strike chance <em>(up to 33.3% increased damage)</em>
Veigar
Base magic resist increased.
Boosting up this tiny yordle to better master the mid lane. To do this, we’re giving him more MR, since he’s already quite powerful in bot lane.
Base Stats
- MAGIC RESIST :: 30 >>> 32
Volibear
Q bonus movement speed decreased.
Volibear is a rare beast that is relentlessly bringing the storm for our Average and Pro players. Reducing his mobility and scaling into late game.
Q - Thundering Smash
- BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED :: 15/20/25/30/35% >>> 10/14/18/22/26% (still doubles when moving towards visible enemy champions)
Yasuo
Base magic resist increased. R base damage increased later.
Carefully buffing Yasuo to target mid lane and Pro play. Like Veigar, we’re giving him more breathing room in mid, where there’s the most magic damage dealers. We’re also boosting his ult output for coordinated teams to play off of.
Base Stats
R - Last Breath
- MAGIC RESIST :: 30 >>> 32
- BASE DAMAGE :: 200/300/400 >>> 200/350/500
Ziggs
Passive bonus damage ratio now flat; maximum damage to structures increased.
Bumping up this bombing bud to better bonk down buildings and, more importantly, to bring an artillery mage into the meta.
Passive - Short Fuse
- BONUS DAMAGE RATIO :: 0.3/0.4/0.5 ability power (levels 1/7/13) >>> 0.5 ability power
- BONUS DAMAGE MULTIPLIER TO STRUCTURES :: 2x ability power >>> 2.5x ability power
Runes
Nimbus Cloak
Nimbus Cloak has become the go-to for both jungle and AD as a consistent offensive and defensive tool. We’re lowering some of its overall strength, specifically in consideration of Smite and Hexflash, so that it’s not as ubiquitous of a choice.
- BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED :: 15%/25%/35% (summoner spell cooldown 0/100/250 seconds) >>> 10%/20%/30% (summoner spell cooldown 0/100/250 seconds)
Ionia Clash

Release Skin
Yone's release skin is Spirit Blossom Yone!Spirit Blossom Yone
1350 RP
"Long ago, two brothers fought a bitter war across Ionia. Yone, the older brother, was a warlord renowned for his adherence to honor and duty. He fought to defend the country against those who would break its rites and rituals - until he was forced to confront his own brother for his crimes. Both were fated to fall in their final duel... a lesson, perhaps, in pride and hubris."
Champion Skins
The second set of Spirit Blossom skins will be blooming on live servers on August 6th - Spirit Blossom Ahri, Cassiopeia, Kindred, and Riven.Spirit Blossom Ahri
1820 RP (Legendary)
"The famed Spirit of Salvation, and the fox all mortals are beckoned towards when their souls arrive to the spirit realm. A capricious, whimsical spirit who sees the fate of the living as a game of chase, she offers the chance for souls to find their final rest... but will not intervene if they stray from the path."

A capricious, whimsical spirit who sees the fate of the living as a game of chase, she offers the chance for souls to find their final rest... but will not intervene if they stray from the path."
As a Legendary skin, Spirit Blossom Ahri has a new voiceover:
Spirit Blossom Cassiopeia
1350 RP
"Rumored to have once been a beautiful princess, legend says Cassiopeia vanished into the mountains when her sister staged a coup, never to return. So great was her beauty, and so renowned her cunning, that a shrine was built to honor this 'spirit of temptation', until her story was accepted into popular folklore."

Spirit Blossom Kindred
1350 RP
"In the Ionian tradition, the Kindred are interpreted as a child and her beastly companion, endlessly playing games with one another until they are called to perform their duties. The two do not know where they came from, but it is said they feel a sense of loss for someone they knew long ago..."

1350 RP
"A brave warrior from an ancient land, Riven was ignobly cut down in the heat of battle thousands of years ago, her sword shattering in the process. Unable to find peace, she obsessively scours an otherworldly battlefield for pieces of her broken blade, possessed by a horrific darkness that guides her into oblivion."

Teamfight Tactics Patch 10.16 Notes
"Welcome.
No fancy movie trailer intro this time, just straight to business. After the Darkstar domination of a few weeks ago, we're feeling much better about the state of the meta. This week, we're looking to make a few small nudges by bumping underperforming champions and traits while giving a slight nerf to the astro sniper build.
We also took a swing at adjusting a few items, so be sure to check out those changes and try out a few new item/champion combinations. The new "Salvage World" Galaxy that will break down full items back into their components when you sell an equipped champion. Last but not least, we're buffing a few chase traits and 3-star champions to get a little more juice for their squeeze, as the kids say.
Let's get into it!
BLAKE "RIOT BEERNANA" EDWARDS
HIGHLIGHTS
A NOTE ON PATCH 10.17
- As announced on the Riot Games site, we're all taking some AFK time next week for some rest and recovery. This means that patch 10.17 will be smaller than normal with a return to full-size patches at 10.18.
LITTLE LEGENDS
Hushtail, Melisma, and Pengu are getting into the Spirit of Blossoms. All three of these new Little Legends and their variants will be available soon after the launch of the patch.
Kami Melisma
Kami Hushtail
Yokai Pengu
SYSTEMS
Galaxies
Quality of Life
- New Galaxy: Salvage World - When you sell a champion, any completed items they were holding are broken down into their components.
- Removed Galaxy: Star Cluster
ITEMS
- In-game item recipes are here!
- Right-click any item component to see what it can build into. (If you’re playing on mobile, simply tap it.)
- Full items you can currently build are highlighted.
- Recipes now appear in the tooltips for completed items.
We’re taking a pass at some of the items that are rarely built to open up new itemization options. Now, getting certain item components shouldn’t feel like as much of a punishment.
- Hand of Justice: Heal 50 health on hit ⇒ Grants 50% healing from damage done by both abilities and basic attacks.
- Hextech Gunblade: Overhealing with this item now generates a shield (max 400 Health).
- Locket of the Iron Solari Shield Value: 250/275/350 ⇒ 250/300/375
- Runaan’s Hurricane Attack Damage Multiplier: 70% ⇒ 75%
- Statikk Shiv Primary Damage: 90 ⇒ 85
- Statikk Shiv now does an additional 85 True Damage if the target has a shield or is CC’d.
- Sword Breaker Chance to Disarm: 25% ⇒ 33%
TRAITS
- While not technically just a trait, the mana reave effect (cost increase of target's next spell cast) from Ezreal, Shroud of Stillness, and Mana-Reaver reduced from 40% to 30%.
- Chrono Attack Speed Gains: 8/3.5/1.5/0.75 ⇒ 8/3/1/0.5 seconds
- Infiltrators Jump time is now fixed at 0.6 seconds (this means putting Infiltrators on the front line will no longer get them to the back line faster)
- Mech Pilot Mecha Justice damage: 700/750/800/850/900/1200/5000 ⇒ 650/700/750/850/900/1200/5000
- Rebel Shield Amount: 150/210/330 ⇒ 150/225/400
- Space Pirate Chance to Drop an Item: 25% ⇒ 33%

- Teemo Attack Speed: 1.0 ⇒ 0.95
- Gangplank Orbital Strike Damage: 450/600/9001 ⇒ 550/700/9001
CHASE TRAITS
We’re looking to improve some of the chase traits that just aren’t currently worth it when you hit them. These are very rare and hard to hit, so they should be more rewarding when you do. They won't be 100% win conditions, but they will be exciting.
- Rebel Health & Damage buff (9): 330 & 15% ⇒ 400 & 20%
- Star Guardian Mana (9): 45 ⇒ 60
- Battlecast Damage/Healing (8): 880 ⇒ 1000
- Dark Star Attack Damage & Spell Power (8): 38 ⇒ 48
- Infiltrator Attack Speed (6): 120% ⇒ 150%
3-STAR CHAMPION BALANCE
We’re also trying to make champs worth 3-starring a bit more often, especially for the non-carry champions. Our goal is not that these become win conditions, but that it’s something you consider chasing if you happen to high roll extra copies to power up your army. All of the stat changes below are for the 3-star version of the Champion.
Tier 1 Champions
Tier 2 Champions
- Leona Cyber Barrier Damage Reduction: 200 ⇒ 400
- Malphite Energy Shield: 60% ⇒ 70%
