Patch 11.13 Notes

"Oh, hello. Fancy seeing you here in these parts! 

Things have been cooking away for a while, and we’re finally able to serve you a whole feast in 11.13. This is largely a systems-based patch, where most of our work went into reducing mobility. In short, we’re pulling back on places where mobility has crept up, including a few items that have gone beyond the limits of where they should be. We're also looking to enhance the split push strategy and improve its gameplay to add variety and excitement to the overall end game. 

Speaking of eating, this patch also has a mini-reworked Tahm Kench! He’s got a fresh kit, VFX, and licks. So gobble away, friends. We’ll see ya in the next one. 

Take this portal to the TFT patch notes where we’re PROJECTed to deliver TFT champion reworks, balance changes, and more! 

TRICIA "MOM CAT" TAN 

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS

PROJECT: Zed Prestige Edition will be available June 24th, 2021. Astronaut Maokai, Astronaut Rammus, Astronaut Veigar, and Astronaut Corki will be available July 1st, 2021. 

CHAMPIONS

APHELIOS
Passive bonus damage and lethality increased. 

Our 11.12 buffs to Aphelios steered him in the right direction, but cost him more power in Elite play than we’d hoped, leaving him weaker overall. This means he could use another push forward, so we’re adding some oomph to benefit all players across skill levels by boosting his less popular rankups. 

PASSIVE - THE HITMAN AND THE SEER

• BONUS DAMAGE 4/8/12/16/20/24 (Q rank 1-5) ⇒ 5/10/15/20/25/30 (Q rank 1-5)
• LETHALITY 3.5/7/10.5/14/17.5/21 (E rank 1-5) ⇒ 4.5/9/13.5/18/22.5/27 (E rank 1-5)

KAYN
W VFX now revealed when in terrain. 

We’re addressing a unique, frustrating case where Kayn's VFX is hidden while in terrain. Hiding VFX while out of vision is standard for many abilities, but since it's impossible for players to gain vision within terrain, it's fair to give players the opportunity to react to Kayn's spells. He’s also uniquely able to exist within terrain for an extended period of time, which is why we’re implementing this rule on him specifically. 

W - BLADE’S REACH

• NEW VFX Blade’s Reach VFX is now revealed when cast within terrain towards enemy champions.

LEE SIN
E base damage decreased later. 

Lee Sin has been dominating mid and top lane in all levels of play, especially at the highest tiers. We’re tempering down the max power of one of his more reliable in-lane abilities so that we’re not blindsiding him in the jungle. 

E - TEMPEST

• BASE DAMAGE 100/140/180/220/260 ⇒ 100/130/160/190/220

OLAF
Base health growth increased. Mana and mana growth rounded up. 

For an unstoppable Viking of destruction, Olaf has been pretty stalled in recent patches. We’re giving him more durability throughout the game and rounding up some numbers! 

BASE STATS

• HEALTH GROWTH 93 ⇒ 100
• MANA 7.47 ⇒ 7.5
• MANA GROWTH 0.58 ⇒ 0.6

RIVEN
E base shield strength reduced. 

Riven’s a champion who can block, dock, and knock up enemies at will, leaving enemies both wounded in their health bars and egos. This means she is especially strong in Skilled and Elite play, where on-demand shields are more readily used and capitalized on. By lowering some of her ability to mitigate damage, she’ll need to be more careful before dashing into her next battle. 

E - VALOR

• BASE SHIELD STRENGTH 95/125/155/185/215 ⇒ 85/115/145/175/205

RUMBLE
W cooldown increased early and now scales; bonus movement speed decreased. 

Despite his constant visits to the patch notes this season, Rumble’s still hot on his enemies’ tracks in both the mid lane and jungle. We’re cooling down his early clear speed and slowing down his roaming and ganking power. 

W - SCRAP SHIELD

• COOLDOWN 6 seconds ⇒ 7/6.75/6.5/6.25/6 seconds
• BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 15/20/25/30/35% ⇒ 10/15/20/25/30%

UPDATED TAHM KENCH
Devour and R swapped and reworked. Passive bonus damage decreased. Q now heals, applies his passive, and scales with his size. E shield duration increased; healing over time increased but takes longer to come into effect. And new VFX all around! 

The Kench is shinier and slimier than ever with a pretty big update this patch! Historically, our favorite catfish has been limited by his power because his kit is so strong in professional play, forcing him to remain weak for the vast majority of players. To resolve this, we’re making a few major adjustments, so buckle up. 

First, we’re moving power from Devour—which is heavily used in coordinated play to completely negate allies’ weaknesses and enemies’ actions—into other abilities that reward him for proactive play. Previously, Tahm’s main contributions revolved around standing by to unconditionally save an ally with Devour. With this rework, he will need to take greater risks with his new Abyssal Dive and capitalize on licks and cool tricks (tongue healing, anyone?). 

Second, we’re making Devour easier to use with allies. They will now see a clear indicator when Devour is available so they know when to run to him for safety. 

Third, we’re adjusting Abyssal Voyage from being entirely about coordinating with an ally for a cross-map play (a strength heavily restricted to Pro play environments) into being an ability that works on its own. 

Last but not least, he’s getting new VFX so that the Kench can get a lick leg up on his competition, in style. 

BASE STATS

• HEALTH 600 ⇒ 570
• HEALTH GROWTH 100 ⇒ 95
• MANA GROWTH 40 ⇒ 50
• ARMOR 47 ⇒ 42
• MAGIC RESIST 32.1 ⇒ 32

PASSIVE - AN ACQUIRED TASTE

• BONUS DAMAGE 4% of maximum health ⇒ 2.5% of maximum health

Q - TONGUE LASH

• NEW STUNNER? I HARDLY KNOW HER Tahm Kench can now cast R - Devour during Tongue Lash to swallow champions stunned by Tongue Lash
• NEW THAT’S ONE HEAL OF A TONGUE Tongue Lash now heals for 6/7/8/9/10% of his missing health when an enemy champion is struck
• NEW A FISH OF MANY TASTES Tongue Lash now applies a stack of Passive - An Acquired Taste to the enemy champions it hits
• SLOW 30/40/50/60/70% ⇒ 40%
• SLOW DURATION 3 seconds ⇒ 2 seconds
• COOLDOWN 5 seconds ⇒ 7/6.5/6/5.5/5 seconds
• COST 50 mana ⇒ 50/46/42/38/34 mana
• NEW HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER Tongue Lash’s range and missile speed now scales up with Tahm Kench’s size

W - ABYSSAL DIVE

• NEW WHAC-A-FISH Tahm Kench channels for 1.35 seconds, dives for 0.15 seconds, then appears at the targeted area, dealing 100/135/170/205/240 (+100% AP) damage and knocking up enemies for 1 second. Hitting an enemy champion refunds 30% of its cooldown and mana cost. Tahm Kench can take Devoured allies along for the ride (allies can always eject before the channel finishes). Enemies cannot see where Tahm Kench is headed until 0.75 seconds into the channel.
• COOLDOWN 24/23/22/21/20 seconds ⇒ 21/20/19/18/17 seconds
• COST 60/75/90/105/120 mana

E - THICK SKIN

• SHIELD DURATION 2 seconds ⇒ 2.5 seconds
• GREY HEALTH HEALING OVER TIME Slightly increased to 10% maximum health per quarter second
• TIME BEFORE GREY HEALTH HEALING 2.5 seconds of not taking damage ⇒ 4 seconds of not taking damage

R - DEVOUR

• NEW HOOK, LINE, AND DINNER Tahm Kench swallows the target champion for up to 3 seconds. If the target champion is an enemy, they must have 3 stacks of Passive - An Acquired Taste and take 100/250/400 +15% (+5% per 100 AP) maximum health as magic damage. Tahm Kench is also grounded and slowed by 40% movement speed. If the target champion is an ally, they are granted a 300/450/600 (+100% AP) shield that lasts for 2.5 seconds after Devour ends. Tahm Kench is also grounded and slowed by 40/25/10% movement speed but can still cast W - Abyssal Dive. Tahm Kench’s allies can see when Devour is available on his health bar (enemies cannot).

VIEGO
Q healing from minions decreased. E base bonus movement speed, missile speed and zone length increased. 

With his ability to reliably replenish his health from waves, Viego’s been sitting a bit too comfortably in the mid lane. We’re shifting some power out of this sustain into a place all his roles can appreciate. 

Q - BLADE OF THE RUINED KING

• HEALING FROM MINIONS 100% ⇒ 50%

E - HARROWED PATH

• BASE BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 20/22.5/25/27.5/30% ⇒ 25/27.5/30/32.5/35%
• MISSILE SPEED 1000 ⇒ 1200
• MISSILE ZONE LENGTH 700 ⇒ 775

XAYAH
Q base damage per feather-blade and maximum total damage increased. 

Xayah has been feeling weak in all levels of play, so we’re fluffing her feathers by giving a good-sized buff to her Q, which tends to be maxed later in the game. Our intention is to buff her in a way that benefits all Xayahs, regardless of which ability you choose to max first, while also helping those who decide to max Q first stay more competitive. 

Q - DOUBLE DAGGERS

• BASE DAMAGE PER FEATHER-BLADE 45/65/85/105/125 ⇒ 50/75/100/125/150
• BASE MAXIMUM TOTAL DAMAGE 90/130/170/210/250 ⇒ 100/150/200/250/300 

ITEMS 

NEW ANATHEMA’S CHAINS
Are you a tank? Is there an annoying enemy on the other team? Boy, do we have an item for you! With Anathema’s Chains, you can select one unlucky foe to be easier prey. Vengeance can be yours, today! 

On a more serious note, this item gives tanks a unique defensive advantage when sparring against a single target, while also providing offensive CC. This should be especially useful when you’re in a game where you keep encountering the same enemy (or someone you just don’t like). 

BASE STATS

• TOTAL COST 2500 gold
• BUILD PATH Giant’s Belt + Kindlegem + 800 gold
• HEALTH 650
• ABILITY HASTE 20
• EFFECTS
• VOW (ACTIVE) Choose a Nemesis to start building a Vendetta over 60 seconds. Has global range, must be used out of combat, and can be used while dead (90 second cooldown).
• VENDETTA Take 1% reduced damage from your Nemesis per Vendetta stack. This damage reduction starts at 0% and stacks up to 30% over 60 seconds.
• VENGEANCE At max stacks, your Nemesis has 20% reduced tenacity while near you.

NEW HULLBREAKER 

Many fighters struggle to convert leads into wins right now, especially through split pushing. Hullbreaker's goal is to give them a strategic purchase where they can opt into a heavy and powerful split pushing strategy at the cost of being isolated from their team. This item should allow for the split pusher to take down towers and whoever comes to stop them. It also gives them a way to push through tanks and towers, similar to how the old Banner of Command worked, except now they have to stick with the minion to continue barreling down the lane. 

BASE STATS

• BUILD PATH Pickaxe + Phage + 825 gold
• ATTACK DAMAGE 50
• HEALTH 300
• HEALTH REGEN 150%
• EFFECTS
• PASSIVE While no allied champions are nearby, gain 20-45 armor and magic resist (level 9-18) and deal 20% increased damage to towers. Large minions nearby also gain 60-135 armor and magic resist and deal 200% increased damage to towers. 

Mobility Items 

As mentioned back in May, we're doing an overall pass at movement speed within items and runes. We've adjusted items that have either passively crept up in movement speed (Lich Bane and Trinity Force) or have effects that weaken player expectations of what’s considered a safe range or escape route (Shurelya's and Nimbus Cloak). Most of these changes are expected to be power neutral, but we also threw in tweaks based on whether the item was over- or underperforming. 

A special note for Stridebreaker… While Stridebreaker's active is an exciting output for many fighters, it heavily weakened the Juggernaut class's primary weakness: mobility. Juggernauts excel once they begin combat on their terms, so an item that allows a Juggernaut to close gaps makes it inherently very powerful, not to mention its damage and ability to be reused. To address this, we’re altering its active to better suit Juggernauts’ needs and boosting it’s stats to amp up their strengths, rather than covering up their weaknesses. 

Stridebreaker

• HEALTH 200 ⇒ 400
• ATTACK DAMAGE 45 ⇒ 40
• REMOVEDDASH Halting Slash no longer lets the user dash 300 units
• NEWSLASHER AND PRANCER Halting Slash can now be cast while moving
• HALTING SLASH DAMAGE 75% AD ⇒ 100% AD
• SLOW 40%, decaying over 2 seconds ⇒ 90%, decaying to 40% over 3 seconds
• COOLDOWN 20 seconds ⇒ 15 seconds
• HEROIC GAIT BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 30 ⇒ 20
• MYTHIC PASSIVE BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 3% ⇒ 2%
• DREAMSHATTER (ORNN’S UPGRADE) HEALTH 300 ⇒ 500
• DREAMSHATTER (ORNN’S UPGRADE) ATTACK DAMAGE 55 ⇒ 50

Galeforce

• MYTHIC PASSIVE BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 3% ⇒ 2%
• TYPHOON (ORNN’S UPGRADE) MYTHIC PASSIVE BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 3% ⇒ 2%

Lich Bane

• MOVEMENT SPEED 10% ⇒ 8%
• ABILITY POWER 70 ⇒ 75

Cosmic Drive

• ABILITY POWER 75 ⇒ 80
• SPELLDANCE BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 10-30 (level 1-18) ⇒ 20

Black Cleaver

• HEALTH 400 ⇒ 450
• RAGE BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED PER STACK OF CARVE 5, up to 30 ⇒ 3, up to 18

Dead Man’s Plate

• SHIPWRECKER BUILDUP DURATION 8 seconds ⇒ 4 seconds
• SHIPWRECKED MAX BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 60 ⇒ 40
• SHIPWRECKED ON-HIT BONUS DAMAGE 1 magic damage per stack, up to 100 ⇒ 1 physical damage per stack (+100% base AD), up to 40

Trinity Force

• ATTACK DAMAGE 30 ⇒ 35
• THREEFOLD STRIKE BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 25 ⇒ 20
• INFINITY FORCE (ORNN’S UPGRADE) ATTACK DAMAGE 40 ⇒ 45

Death’s Dance

• DEFY HEAL 10% of your maximum health ⇒ 15% of your maximum health
• REMOVED DEATH’S WALK Champion takedowns no longer grant 30% bonus movement speed for 2 seconds

Shurelya’s Battlesong

• INSPIRE BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 60%, decaying to 30% over 2 seconds ⇒ 30%
• SHURELYA'S REQUIEM (ORNN’S UPGRADE) INSPIRE BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 60%, decaying to 30% over 2 seconds ⇒ 30%

Prowler’s Claw

• COOLDOWN 60 seconds ⇒ 90 seconds
• LETHALITY 21 ⇒ 18
• SANDSWIPE TARGETING Any enemy unit ⇒ Enemy champions
• SANDSHRIKE’S CLAW (ORNN’S UPGRADE) LETHALITY 29 ⇒ 26 

Mana Mythics 

While there are a few strong mages, the class as a whole is weaker than in previous seasons. To remedy this, we’re putting some of their Mythics on the clearance rack to help them reach their first power spike earlier. This won’t solve all their problems, but should be an appreciable boost up. We’ll be keeping a close eye on where these changes land to see if they’re too much, not enough, or just right. 

Liandry’s Anguish

• COMBINE COST 1200 gold ⇒ 1000 gold

Luden’s Tempest

• COMBINE COST 1250 gold ⇒ 1050 gold

Everfrost

• COMBINE COST 450 gold ⇒ 250 gold 

MOONSTONE RENEWER 

Our patch 11.8 adjustments to Moonstone Renewer and Shurelya's Reverie were successful in opening up Mythic item options for Enchanters, but left Moonstone on the weaker side in comparison to Shurelya’s. We're repeating its buff from 11.11 on a smaller scale to nudge Moonstone up to par with Shurelya's, which is also receiving a movement speed nerf this patch.

• STARLIT GRACE HEAL AND SHIELD POWER 6% per stack (max 30%) ⇒ 7% per stack (max 35%)

DIVINE SUNDERER 

Divine Sunderer's been overperforming on a number of ranged champs (not just Ezreal, but definitely Ezreal). Before its 11.11 buffs, it was already very strong for these folks, but was an unpopular purchase. Now that it’s on the radar, we’re pulling back on its power pre-11.11 and a little more.

• SPELLBLADE EMPOWERED ON-HIT DAMAGE 12% of target’s maximum health ⇒ 12% melee || 9% ranged of target’s maximum health

RUNES

NIMBUS CLOAK 

As part of the mobility changes above, we’re pulling back on Nimbus Cloak’s bonus movement speed as the game progresses.

• BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 5%/20%/35% for 2 seconds ⇒ 5%/20%/25% for 2 seconds

GHOST PORO 

Ghost Poro is very, very rarely taken in the Domination Tree's Tracking slot. We’re buffing up this poro to better reward playing the vision game.

• GRANTED SIGHT DURATION 60 seconds ⇒ 90 seconds
• ENEMY REVEAL DURATION 4 seconds ⇒ 6 seconds

TURRET UPDATE 

In recent seasons, top and bot inner towers haven't been a strategic objective due to their lack of value (literally) in comparison to other objectives on the map. To tackle this, we’re making these turret takedowns more rewarding, so that players are encouraged to look for leads in the side lanes and split pushing remains a viable, exciting strategy across all levels of play. This advantage should also help the split pusher feel like they have more agency to snowball into a big ol’ threat that can’t be ignored. 

• Inner turrets in side lanes (top and bottom) now grant an additional 250 local gold
• All turret inventories now show how much local gold they give once destroyed

SUMMONER SPELLS 

SMITE 

Challenging and Chilling Smite give junglers early access to true damage against minions, which is especially punishing to early ranks of ultimate-summoned pets like Tibbers, H-28Q Apex Turret, Daisy, and the Maiden of the Mist. We're adding a damage modifier to Challenging and Chilling Smite so that smiting pets can still remain as a strategic choice for junglers throughout the game, but they aren’t able to completely obliterate low-rank ultimate pets as soon as Smite upgrades. 

And a reminder: minions includes pets, but doesn’t include monsters—so monster damage numbers remain unchanged here. 

CHALLENGING SMITE

• DAMAGE TO MINIONS 900 true damage ⇒ 500 (+10% of target’s max health) true damage

CHILLING SMITE

• DAMAGE TO MINIONS 900 true damage ⇒ 500 (+10% of target’s max health) true damage

ARAM BALANCE CHANGES

• Updated Dr. Mundo's attacks with E - Blunt Force Trauma to feel less sluggish between basic attacks
• Fixed a bug where Dr. Mundo's Passive - Goes Where He Pleases did not go on cooldown when blocking Mordekaiser's R - Realm of Death
• Updated Corporate Mundo, El Macho Mundo, Executioner Mundo, Mr. Mundoverse, Mundo Mundo, and TPA Mundo's Q - Infected Bonesaw to be more visible when used in brushes
• Fixed a bug where Sion was able to respawn in his current location if his Passive - Glory in Death lasted longer than his death timer's duration

Astronaut Corki

1350 RP

"Commander Corki is both a veteran of the space program and its fearless leader. After traveling to a new and undiscovered planet with his intrepid crew, he befriended a stray alien meep that became his assistant and ally in exploring the galaxy. Together they fly, holding off the encroaching invasion of evil purple meeps that threaten the cosmos."

Astronaut Maokai

1350 RP

"The first tree to grow on planet M33P, Maokai gained sentience due to the latent power of the meeps that took up residence in his trunk. He now fosters life on this new home of his, collecting and caring for young meeps that could use a helping hand (or branch)."

Astronaut Rammus

1350 RP

"Rammus was supposed to be the Space Program's core asset for terraforming new planets, and he was-- until his digging unearthed a purple surprise no one was ready for. Now he has become something wholly different, his power turned to nefarious ends at the hands of the evil invader-meeps."

Astronaut Veigar

SYSTEMS 

Armory 

We added stronger Armory options last patch, and we’re pretty happy with how they turned out. But sometimes the options feel like they’re on totally different power levels, so we’re reforging the options to make them all feel good.

• Magnetic Remover and Reforger can no longer appear in the Armory
• Two Full Items + Two Special Item Armory replaced with Four Full Items Armory
• Two Components + Two Special Item (Neeko’s Help, Loaded Dice, Spatula, Shadow Spatula) Armory replaced with Two Components + Two Full Item Armory
• Chances of a 4-2 Armory have been increased
• 4-2 Chances of seeing a Special Item (Neeko’s Help, Loaded Dice, Spatula, Shadow Spatula) are dramatically reduced
• 4-2 Chances of seeing an Emblem are slightly lower
• 4-2 Chances of seeing Components and Full Items are slightly higher.
• Chances of a 5-2 Armory have been decreased
• 5-2 Chances of seeing a Special Item are drastically reduced
• 5-2 Chances of seeing an Emblem or Component are slightly lower.
• 5-2 Chances of seeing a Full Item are slightly higher.
• 6-2 and 7-2 Chances of seeing a Special Item (Neeko’s Help, Loaded Dice, Spatula, Shadow Spatula) or Emblem are lower.

LARGE CHANGES 

Expect these changes to significantly impact the current play. 

Traits 

Skirmisher 6 and 9 still haven’t found their footing after their fall from power in patch 11.11. This should make the big melee vertical feel more like a BIG melee vertical.

• Skirmisher Shield: 25/40/60%⇒25/45/75% Max Health

Champions: Tier 1 

Being a Can-Tank-erous Cavalier, Kled’s role in Hellion comps has been limited to filling out traits and tanking a couple spells regardless of his star level. We’re giving him and his knightly pal some extra oomph to allow reroll Hellion to Poppy-off, while limiting the buff that power leveling comps get for just running one/two star Hellions in the early game.
Kled now gains bonus damage every 4th attack even while mounted. 

• Kled Attack Speed: 0.7⇒0.75
• Poppy Max Mana Buff: 40/80⇒30/70
• Poppy Buckler Toss Damage: 150/250/350⇒150/250/400
• Poppy Buckler Toss Shield: 250/350/450⇒250/375/525

Champions: Tier 2 

Trundle is designed to be a gigantic hulking carry, but his relationship with one-shotting tanks had to go. In Patch 11.11, we changed the way Trundle scales with Ability Power, as a fix to AP Trundle deleting enemy champions regardless of their stats. But, we didn’t like this change in the long run as it's using a balance lever that lacks clarity. Now, we’re reworking his spell so he’ll still drain a flat percentage of stats (unmodified by AP) from enemies but he’ll then amplify the stats he takes with any AP (scaling normally) that he has. 

• Kennen Starting Mana Buff: 50/125⇒60/125
• Kennen Flame Rush Damage: 150/200/250⇒150/225/350
• Trundle Subjugate REWORKED: Trundle drains his target's strength, reducing their Health, Armor, Magic Resist, and Attack Damage by 35% and granting himself 100/130/200% (modified by AP) of the drained stats for 8 seconds.
• Trundle Mana Adjusted: 0/60⇒30/80

Champions: Tier 3 

Nidalee has had pawblems with her identity as a Dodge and Crit jumpy cat. Her new role, as Attack Speed jumpy cat should allow her to perform as an attack speed carry in her comps, using items like Rageblade and Statikk Shiv. Yasuo’s been hurting like a fourth-degree burn, which is one degree higher than any 3-cost is allowed.

• Ashe Enchanted Arrow Damage: 300/400/600⇒300/450/750
• Nidalee Aspect of the Cougar REWORKED: Nidalee transforms into a cougar and leaps behind the lowest Health enemy. While in cougar form, Nidalee gains 45% Dodge Chance, 40/50/75% Attack Speed, and her attacks become melee attacks that deal 200/300/600 bonus magic damage every 4th attack.
• Nidalee Attack Damage: 65 ⇒ 50
• Yasuo Burning Blade Damage: 300/400/750 ⇒ 250/350/700
• Yasuo Burning Blade Stacking On Hit Damage: 30/40/75⇒25/35/70

Champions: Tier 4 

It’s a Rune Prison-break. Ryze with a Very Dark Blue Buff spelled out a Very Dark fate for his opponents with a chain stun that was the bane of fun. We’re keeping his single target lock-down intact, but he’ll need more evidence before imprisoning secondary targets.

• Ryze Attack Speed: 0.75⇒0.8
• Ryze’s empowered Rune Prison now stuns secondary targets for half the stun duration (.75/1/2). The main target is still stunned for the full duration (1.5/2/4).

Champions: Tier 5 

The goal with our Kayle mini-rework is to create a smoother power progression for TFT’s most powerful late game carry. Expect Kayle to do a bit more early, but deal less AOE damage and have more windows of vulnerability in her final form.

• Kayle Health: 500⇒650
• Kayle Attack Damage: 60⇒75
• Kayle Attack Speed: 1.0⇒1.1
• Kayle Number of Attacks per Immunity: 10⇒15
• Kayle Ascension 4 AOE Spell Damage: 200/300/10000⇒80/125/4000

Items 

Using Sacrificial Infinity Edge will no longer cost Pantheon and Vel’koz everything. Brandbulance can now heal Eclipse Cape users after the first 8 seconds of combat.

• Sacrificial Infinity Edge REWORKED: Now deals damage on attack and ability cast rather than on every instance of critical damage.
• Sacrificial Infinity Edge NEW TOOLTIP: Grants 75% Critical Strike Chance (including components). Each point of Critical Strike Chance above 100% becomes +1% Critical Strike Damage. The holder also gains 30% Critical Strike Damage. Each time the holder attacks or casts their Ability, they take true damage equal to 3% of their max Health.
• Ionic Spark Damage: 200%⇒250% of Caster Mana
• Eclipse Cape Self Burn: Entirety of Combat⇒first 8 seconds of combat

SMALL CHANGES 

Life’s like a game of TFT. Add many small changes to consistently maintain a healthy lifestyle by balancing your personality traits or eating the Infernal Souls of your foes —now slightly less spicy.

Sometimes Grasping Roots wouldn’t branch out to enemies in its path. By slightly increasing the hitbox, Zyra’s spell should stun those in its path without a sprout.
