Patch 10.24 Notes

Hey, is this thing on? *taps mic* Anyone still alive after the chonk of last patch? 

So here we are, the preseason aftermath! We bring to you a series of changes that are overwhelmingly heavy on items as we feel out the changes in the new ecosystem. Long story short: AP Mythics are strong across the board, while other items needed a bit more power to fulfill their role. So come along for the ride as we drive down the overperforming and rev up the underwhelming. You know the drill. 

More out of the ordinary are two new Behavioral Systems updates to mitigate the blow of disconnected players or AFKs, and a little glitzy glammy for two Void buddies! 

And one more thing, we also want to encourage you to revisit the 10.23 patch notes after reading through this one, as we had a LOT of updates and bugfixes since the patch first went live. So if you feel like that really crazy bug that a developer said would be fixed is missing here, it's probably documented over there.

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

TRICIA "MOM CAT" TAN 

HANNA “SHIO SHOUJO” WOO 

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

Cosmic Flight Anivia, Cosmic Charger Hecarim, Cosmic Invoker Illaoi, Cosmic Destiny Nami, Cosmic Huntress Nidalee, Cosmic Sting Skarner, Cosmic Hunter Varus, Cosmic Devourer Vladimir, Dark Cosmic Lissandra, and Star Guardian Soraka Prestige Edition will be available on November 24th, 2020. 

CHAMPIONS

AMUMU
W damage over time decreased. 

The new items and systems have pushed Amumu from strong to overwhelming. We’re pulling back some of his damage over time, which has particularly benefited from the item update. 

W - DESPAIR

• BASE DAMAGE OVER TIME DAMAGE 5/7.5/10/12.5/15 ⇒ 4/6/8/10/12
• DAMAGE RATIO 0.5% AP per 100 AP (every half second) ⇒ 0.25% AP per 100 AP (every half second)
• BUGFIX Damage no longer occasionally fires at a slightly increased pace

HECARIM 

Passive bonus movement speed to bonus damage conversion decreased. E bonus movement speed decreased later and bugfixed. 

The new items give Hecarim a bit too much extra pep in his… gallop? So we’re pulling the reins on his Devastating Charge as well as the AD he gains from running fast.  

PASSIVE - WARPATH

• BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED TO BONUS AD CONVERSION 15-30% (level 1/3/6/9/12/15/18) ⇒ 12-24% (level 1/3/6/9/12/15/18)

E - DEVASTATING CHARGE

• BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 25-85% (based on time active) ⇒ 25-75% (based on time active)
• BUGFIX Hecarim no longer gains more than 25% movement speed immediately after casting E - Devastating Charge

KAYLE 

Passive bonus attack speed reduced. 

We’re partially walking back the change to Kayle’s passive from patch 10.23 to lower her whacking stacking.  

PASSIVE - DIVINE ASCENT

• BONUS ATTACK SPEED 2% per 100 ability power ⇒ 1% per 100 ability power

SAMIRA
Passive melee blade bonus damage ratio decreased; dash range against immobilized enemies decreased. 

With more items that grant both lifesteal and crit at her disposal, Samira poses a menacing threat in lane, even when being actively zoned out. We’re nerfing her all-in potential so that she has to think twice before charging in, gun (and blade) blazing.  

PASSIVE - DAREDEVIL IMPULSE

• MELEE BLADE DAMAGE RATIO 10% AD ⇒ 7.5% AD
• DASH RANGE AGAINST IMMOBILIZED ENEMY 800/850/900/950/1000 (level 1/4/8/12/16) ⇒ 650/725/800/875/950 (level 1/4/8/12/16)

TRYNDAMERE
Q bonus AD increased; bonus AD per 1% missing health increased. 

Tryndamere is critting less often and for less damage, so we’re amping up his damage.  

Q - BLOODLUST 

• BONUS AD 5/10/15/20/25 ⇒ 10/15/20/25/30
• BONUS AD PER 1% MISSING HEALTH 0.15/0.2/0.25/0.3/0.35 ⇒ 0.15/0.25/0.35/0.45/0.55

VARUS
Q Blight detonation cooldown reduction removed; damage from Blight effects detonated with Q are now increased by the amount of time Varus charges it for, up to 50%; Q now shows crit text when fully charged. W bonus damage reduced; detonating a Blight stack on enemy champions and Epic Monsters now reduces all basic cooldowns by 12% of the max cooldown per stack. R now snaps Varus to face the target direction on start of cast; missile speed reduced. 

As a consistent high-priority pick in Pro play, Varus’ tuning has often left players feeling unsatisfied. To bring him back with vengeance, we’re shifting power away from elements that are typically strong in Pro play—such as reliable CC and lane bullying—and back into Varus’ unique playstyle of charged arrows and spellweaving.  

Q - PIERCING ARROW

• REMOVED BLIGHT COOLDOWN REDUCTION Cooldown is no longer reduced by 3 seconds if Piercing Arrow detonates on a Blighted enemy
• NEW BOW UP Damage from Blight effects detonated with Piercing Arrow are now increased by the amount of time Varus charges it for up to 50%, in addition to increasing Piercing Arrow’s damage for up to 50%
• NEW VFX Piercing Arrow will now show crit text when fully charged

W - BLIGHTED QUIVER

• BONUS DAMAGE 7/10.5/14/17.5/21 ⇒ 7/8/9/10/11
• NEW BOW DOWN Detonating a Blight stack on enemy champions and Epic Monsters now reduces all basic cooldowns by 12% of the max cooldown per stack

R - CHAIN OF CORRUPTION

• NEW SNAPBACK Varus now snaps to face the target direction on start of cast
• MISSILE SPEED 1950 ⇒ 1500

YASUO

Passive crit doubling now takes place after Rageblade's on-hit calculations. 

Yasuo's doubled crit chance was so powerful with Rageblade, the only correct choice was to build it first in every situation. This change addresses that excessive synergy. For full transparency: Given the interactions (like this one) we've run into so far, we're currently targeting next patch for a change that'll cause Rageblade to remove crit chance from users rather than just prevent crits. If you were wondering whether you'd have to learn the Rageblade playstyle to keep playing Yasuo in preseason, the answer is no.  

PASSIVE - WAY OF THE WANDERER

• ORDER OF OPERATIONS Way of the Wanderer's crit-related effects now wait to activate until any other effects that care about crit have been taken care of. This primarily means crit chance is no longer doubled before Guinsoo's Rageblade calculates its on-hit damage.

YONE
Passive crit doubling now takes place after Rageblade's on-hit calculations. 

Same context applies here as Yasuo above!  

PASSIVE - WAY OF THE HUNTER

• ORDER OF OPERATIONS Way of the Hunter's crit-related effects now wait to activate until any other effects that care about crit have been taken care of. This primarily means crit chance is no longer doubled before Guinsoo's Rageblade calculates its on-hit damage.

ITEMS

BLADE OF THE RUINED KING 

Blade of the Ruined King is overperforming compared to the other Legendaries it competes with. Dropping its power to make it look more in line with the others.  

• TOTAL COST 3100 gold ⇒ 3200 gold
• ATTACK SPEED 30% ⇒ 25%

COSMIC DRIVE 

Bumping up Cosmic Drive’s power to secure its position as a viable second item choice.

• ABILITY POWER 70 ⇒ 75 

DEMONIC EMBRACE 

Demonic Embrace along with Nashor’s Tooth and Lich Bane are dominating the second item slot, so we’re taking it down a notch.  

• AZAKANA GAZE BURN DAMAGE 1.5% max health magic damage every second for 4 seconds ⇒ 1.2% max health magic damage every second for 3 seconds

ECLIPSE

• COOLDOWN 6 seconds for melee; 12 seconds for ranged ⇒ 8 seconds for melee; 16 seconds for ranged

EMBERKNIFE 

We’re opening jungle sustain back up for AoE casters who have been struggling with the recent changes. This comes with a small knock to the number overall, since most junglers are equipped with some form of AoE that will benefit.

• The AoE allowance only applies specifically to Emberknife and Hailblade.
• OMNIVAMP 12% ⇒ 10% (including AoE damage)

HAILBLADE
See: Emberknife.  

• OMNIVAMP 12% ⇒ 10% (except from AoE damage)

ESSENCE REAVER

• ATTACK DAMAGE 40 ⇒ 50

KRAKEN SLAYER

• ATTACK DAMAGE 60 ⇒ 65
• WYRMFALLEN SACRIFICE ATTACK DAMAGE 80 ⇒ 85
• DAMAGE RATIO 30% AD ⇒ 45% AD

GUINSOO'S RAGEBLADE BUGFIX 

Guinsoo's Rageblade now properly triggers at all ranges when the holder also has Kraken Slayer 

LIANDRY'S ANGUISH 

Liandry's is too strong, especially for mages that can consistently apply its damage over time effects. We’re reducing AP ratio scaling to pull back some late game power.  

• TORMENT DAMAGE RATIO 2.5% AP ⇒ 1.5% AP

LICH BANE 

We’re toning down Lich Bane’s AP ratio, which has contributed to high-burst scenarios late game.  

• DAMAGE RATIO 50% AP ⇒ 40% AP

LUDEN'S TEMPEST 

Luden's Tempest is granting too much movement speed to champions whose mobility is meant to be a weakness. Reining in the fast and a bit of the furious by lowering its burst damage.  

• ECHO MOVEMENT SPEED 30% ⇒ 15%
• ECHO DAMAGE RATIO 15% AP ⇒ 10% AP

MOONSTONE RENEWER 

• BUGFIX Fully fixed an issue where Moonstone Renewer was not renewing if the ally is in champion combat, but the owner is not
• STARLIT GRACE HEAL 30-60 (ally levels 1-18), increased by 37.5% each second spent in combat with champions (maximum 150%) ⇒ 60-90 (ally levels 1-18), increased by 25% each second spent in combat with champions (maximum 100%)

NASHOR'S TOOTH 

Nashor's gives a combination of damage and a bevy of stats, which has made the item a little too strong for users that can utilize both. We’re bringing its on-hit damage more in line.  

• ICATHIAN BITE DAMAGE RATIO 25% AP ⇒ 20% AP

NIGHT HARVESTER 

Night Harvester and Rocketbelt are contributing to some of the high burst scenarios that we’re looking to tone down.  

• SOULREND DAMAGE 175-250 magic damage (level 1-18) ⇒ 125-200 (level 1-18)

HEXTECH ROCKETBELT
See: Night Harvester.  

• SUPERSONIC DAMAGE 200-300 magic damage ⇒ 175-250 magic damage

PHANTOM DANCE 

Phantom Dancer generally underperforms, especially early on. We’re putting it on discount and throwing in a utility boost to make it a more appealing early pick-up.  

• TOTAL COST 2900 gold ⇒ 2700 gold
• SPECTRAL WALTZ DURATION 2 seconds ⇒ 3 seconds

PROWLER'S CLAW

• ATTACK DAMAGE 55 ⇒ 60
• SANDSHRIKE’S CLAW ATTACK DAMAGE 75 ⇒ 80

RIFTMAKER 

Bringing Riftmaker down to the power of other Mythics to maintain the Mythic choice structure.  

• VOID CORRUPTION DAMAGE 3% per second (max 15%) ⇒ 2% per second (max 10%)

SERPENT'S FANG 

Although Fang is a strong item, it hasn’t seen much action, so we’re increasing its damage to solidify it as a powerful situational choice for assassins.  

• SHIELD REAVER DAMAGE 50 physical damage ⇒ 70 physical damage

Tear of the Goddess Line 

Tear users have taken a hit from both the new item system and the new Tear stacking. We’re increasing the rate Tear stacks to lessen its weakness. Items building from Tear have had their mana values adjusted as a result.  

TEAR OF THE GODDESS

• MANA 150 ⇒ 240
• MAXIMUM BONUS MANA 450 ⇒ 360

ARCHANGEL’S STAFF

• MANA 400 ⇒ 500

MANAMUNE

• MANA 400 ⇒ 500

SERAPH’S EMBRACE

• MANA 850 ⇒ 860

MURAMANA

• MANA 850 ⇒ 860

MIDLANE MINION CHANGES
Midlaners hold a significant amount of power across all levels of play. We think pulling a small amount of power out of this lane during early and mid-game will keep things in check, while also nerfing heavy roamers. Of note, these changes went out in patch 10.23, but were missed in the documentation—so if you’ve been counting, you’re not crazy.  

• Midlane Cannon Minions now give 10 less gold
• Midlane Cannon Minions now gain 30% increased attack speed against towers

BEHAVIORAL SYSTEMS UPDATE 

As we wrap up the year, we've also wrapped up the Early Surrender and LP Consolation projects we mentioned in September, which are now ready for feedback! We've implemented the following:  

• If there is an AFK player detected on your team after the 10-minute mark, a surrender vote can occur. For now, this change will only apply to Summoner's Rift and the vote must be unanimous. If the vote isn’t unanimous, at the 15-minute mark the team can vote again, now only needing a majority vote.
• If a player on your team leaves during a ranked match or is detected as AFK, your LP loss may be reduced. Premades with a disconnect/AFK, provisional players, and players in promotion series will not receive this loss reduction.

For more details, read this article!  

ITEM SHOP AND ICON IMPROVEMENTS 

We’re continuing to iterate on the Item Shop based on the feedback you’ve given us. As a part of that work, we're also updating over 60 icons to improve silhouette read, differentiate colors, reduce noise, and improve rendering quality. We hear and agree with the feedback that many of these icons are too difficult to identify quickly and are working towards cleaner, clearer icons. Thanks again for all your feedback!  

• Updates to over 60 item icons
• Stomped a ton of bugs in the shop. Our shoes are now disgusting.
• The font size of the shop’s gold display has been embiggened
• Future’s Market now displays your debt limit in the shop.

VFX AND SFX UPDATES 

We’ve got another VFX update for you in this patch! It’s time for everyone’s favourite Void bug to skitter into the spotlight: Kha’Zix! And continuing down our Void friends, we’ve got some ear candy (SFX changes) for the Void’s eye…

Once again, our goals for these sorts of smaller updates is to improve the overall gameplay clarity of VFX and SFX whilst bringing them up to modern League of Legends standards. This means that our efforts are primarily aimed at abilities which do not clearly communicate their hitbox.

Teamfight Tactics Patch 10.24 Notes

"Welcome Enlightened, 

This patch features a whole host of systems changes directed at breaking up the meta. The way to play TFT over the past few patches has become too rigid. In particular, key Tier 4 champions are making a splash too early in the game, leaving very little breathing room for Tier 2 or 3 champions to shine. These changes should open up opportunities for different strategies rather than just rolling down at Level 7 to build an endgame composition. We're looking to do this by pushing Tier 4 champion and chosen roll odds back to Level 8. 

Be sure to check out the changes to Warwick, Jinx, Lulu, and Yone. They've received significant adjustments that may change how you use them going forward.  

BLAKE "RIOT BEERNANA" EDWARDS
