League of Legends – 13.6 Patch Notes | New Champion and Major Updates

MILIO

The Gentle Flame

Get ready to go on an adventure with Milio and his fuemigos on March 22!

ASHE

Passive damage to targets with Frost increased.

Last patch, Ashe was nerfed for support and the goal was to preserve her power level as an AD Carry. We were mostly successful in hitting these goals, but she's still a bit worse off. So here's us making good on that promise.

PASSIVE - FROST SHOT

• Damage against Frosted Enemies: 110% (+75% of Critical Strike Chance) ⇒ 115% (+75% of Critical Strike Chance)

AURELION SOL

Q magic damage decreased, burst proc damage decreased. E cooldown increased. R CC duration decreased.

Aurelion Sol is getting a lot of attention, both positive and negative—which he's pretty used to given the gravity of his stellar personality. We're aiming to lessen the frustrating moments he can create like his ability to stall/freeze waves for extended periods of time and reduce the potency of his teamfight wombo combo.

Q - BREATH OF LIGHT

• Magic Damage: 15/25/35/45/55 (+30-90 (based on level)) (+60%AP) ⇒ 15/25/35/45/55 (+30-80 (based on level)) (+60%AP)
• Burst Proc Damage: 45/50/55/60/65 (+20-40 (based on level)) (+35%AP) ⇒ 45/50/55/60/65 (+20-30 (based on level)) (+35%AP)

E - SINGULARITY

• Cooldown: 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds at all ranks

R - FALLING STAR / THE SKIES DESCEND

• Falling Star Stun Duration: 1.25 seconds ⇒ 1 second
• The Skies Descend Knock Up Duration: 1.25 seconds ⇒ 1 second

DR. MUNDO

Base health regeneration increased, health regeneration scaling decreased. W recast timer decreased. E damage to jungle monsters increased.

The good doctor has been feeling a bit under the weather early game, but on the other hand he turns into a surgeon of death come late game. We're tuning Mundo in a way that should help smooth out his power curve throughout the game, while also giving him some medical tools to help him in the jungle.

BASE STATS

• Base Health Regeneration: 6.5 ⇒ 7
• Health Regeneration Scaling: 0.55 ⇒ 0.5

W - HEART ZAPPER

• Recast Timer: 1 second ⇒ 0.5 second

E - BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA

• Damage to Jungle Monsters: 150% ⇒ 200%

GALIO

W magic and physical damage reduction increased. E cooldown decreased.

Galio's been stuck in limbo recently, and not the fun party game kind. After patch 12.10, he doesn't deal enough damage to threaten carries by himself, but he's also not durable enough to survive for multiple spell rotations. As the Colossus of Demacia, we'd rather buff up his beefiness than make him a burst mage. So we're upping his durability and Justice Punch uptime so that he finds a little bit more utility after the laning phase.

W - SHIELD OF DURAND

• Magic Damage Reduction: 20/25/30/35/40% (+8% per 100 bonus Magic Resistance)(+5% AP) ⇒ 25/30/35/40/45% (+12% per 100 bonus Magic Resistance)(+5% AP)
• Physical Damage Reduction: 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% (+4% per 100 bonus Magic Resistance)(+2.5% AP) ⇒ 12.5/15/17.5/20/22.5% (+6% per 100 bonus Magic Resistance)(+2.5% AP)

E - JUSTICE PUNCH

• Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds ⇒ 11/10/9/8/7 seconds

TALON

Base mana increased. Passive base damage increased, AD ratio increased. W mana cost decreased.

Talon currently struggles to interact with the minion wave in oppressive mid-lane matchups a little too much. These changes should allow him to have more mana to farm with his Rake from a distance while helping his passive damage with base power and ratio buffs. Jungle Talon has fewer mana issues, so this shouldn't affect him as much.

BASE STATS

• Mana: 377 ⇒ 400

PASSIVE - BLADE'S END

• Damage: 75-255 (based on level) (+200% bonus AD) ⇒ 80-280 (based on level) (+210% bonus AD)

W - RAKE

• Mana Cost: 55/60/65/70/75 ⇒ 50/55/60/65/70

VAYNE

Passive bonus movement speed increased. Q bonus damage increased, empowered attack duration decreased. W damage adjusted.

Vayne's been struggling in all skill brackets recently for a few reasons. Her passive hasn't stood the test of time against more mobile champions, so we want to give her some more chase potential while allowing her to use her Q more defensively. We're also giving Vayne a bit more AD scaling on her Q to support her more AD-focused builds which have been weak since critical strike chance was removed from Vayne's Q. However, we want to curb her potential power in the top lane, so we're bringing down her percent health damage as well.

PASSIVE - NIGHT HUNTER

• Bonus Movement Speed: 30 ⇒ 45

Q - TUMBLE

• Bonus Physical Damage: 60/65/70/75/80% AD ⇒ 75/85/95/105/115% AD
• Empowered Attack Duration: 7 seconds ⇒ 3 seconds

W - SILVER BOLTS

• Percent Health Damage: 4/6/8/10/12% target's maximum health ⇒ 6/7/8/9/10% target's maximum health

VEIGAR

Base health decreased, base armor decreased. W base damage decreased.

With great range comes great responsibility power. Veigar is standing tall in mid lane, but even taller in bot lane. With his huge spike in popularity, he's actually become a relatively common bot laner with extremely high win rates. Unfortunately, we can't have him be head and shoulders above the competition, so we're cutting him down to size by reducing his early all-in power, which is much more consistent when paired with a support.

BASE STATS

• Base Health: 575 ⇒ 550
• Base Armor: 21 ⇒ 18

W - DARK MATTER

• Magic Damage: 100/150/200/250/300 (+100% AP) ⇒ 85/140/195/250/305 (+100% AP)

YUUMI

Q cooldown decreased, mana cost increased, missile speed decreased, range decreased, ally on-hit damage AP ratio reduced. R shield duration added, bonus resistances decreased.

Yuumi's rework in 13.5 came out on the powerful side. While she lost a lot of offensive threat, her poke and burst survivability made it unclear what opponents could do versus a Yuumi and her Best Friend. Final Chapter's bonus resistances, which were added to make Yuumi feel a bit safer on less durable carries, ended up removing a clear point of weakness. We're removing the bonus effect and will be monitoring how players on both teams feel when interacting with the cat and her crew.

Q - PROWLING PROJECTILE

• Ally On-Hit Damage upon hitting an enemy with Q: 10/12/14/16/18/20 (+10% AP) ⇒ 10/12/14/16/18/20 (+5% AP)
• Cooldown: 7.5/7.25/7/6.75/6.5/6.25 seconds ⇒ 6.5 seconds at all ranks
• Mana Cost: 50/55/60/65/70/75 ⇒ 50/60/70/80/90/100
• Unattached Missile Speed: 1000 ⇒ 850
• Enhanced Missile Speed: 1900 ⇒ 1650
• Max Range (in a straight line): 2000 ⇒ 1725

R - FINAL CHAPTER

• NEWOverheal Shield Duration: 3 seconds ⇒ 1.5 seconds (Note: the shield will last the full duration of the spell (3.5 seconds) plus this amount of time)
• REMOVEDBest Friend Bonus Resistances: 20/40/60 (+10% AP) Armor & Magic Resistance ⇒ REMOVED

BLOODTHIRSTER

Bloodthirster is meant to be an opt-in defensive option for when you really need the added durability. It's not meant to be rushed so that your ADC can become a tank before everyone else gets their builds online. A flat nerf, especially in the early game, should push Bloodthirster back a slot.

• Shield: 180-450 (180 up to level 9, then +30 per level) ⇒ 100-400 (100 up to level 8, then +30 per level)

NASHOR'S TOOTH

Continuing on the past few buffs to mage items, Nashor's Tooth is up next. The item previously represented a complete package for Attack Speed Mages, but that was lost when Mythic Items were meant to be the new first item purchases. While the group of champions this applies to is pretty small, we've adjusted our mindset to be more open to first item Legendaries (see Tank items and Blade of the Ruined King), so Nashor's is being adjusted to fit better in that space.

• Total Cost: 3000 ⇒ 3200
• Recipe: Blasting Wand + Recurve Bow + Amplifying Tome ⇒ Blasting Wand + Recurve Bow + Fiendish Codex
• Ability Haste: 0 ⇒ 15

NAVORI QUICKBLADES

Navori Quickblades is the best-performing ADC capstone by a small amount. The fact that it's out-DPSing Infinity Edge due to resetting auto attack self-buffs makes it hard to pick anything else. So, lowering that reset should make the comparison a bit more fair.

• Cooldown Reduction on Autos: 15% of remaining cooldown ⇒ 12% of remaining cooldown

LEGEND: BLOODLINE

Bloodline is the most-picked ADC rune in the Legend slot by far and is contributing to ADCs being generically tanky instead of opting into durability when it's needed. The rune is meant to be a choice, not automatic.

• Life Steal per Stack: 0.4% ⇒ 0.35%
• Max Health on 15 Stacks: 100 ⇒ 85

LETHAL TEMPO

Similar to Bloodline, Lethal Tempo is the most-picked rune for ADCs by a long shot, which makes it a good target for removing power from the role at large. There are some champions where they'll never give up this level of attack speed and that's understandable, but for everyone else, there's more than just one viable keystone out there!

• Attack Speed for Ranged Users: 30-54% (maxed at level 12) ⇒ 24-54% (maxed at level 18)
