Official Patch 11.5 Notes Released!

Despite buffs in patch 11.3, support Karma is still in low spirits. We took a look at some of the more recent changes to her and are reigniting her fire by partially reverting the nerfs from 10.16.

Kog'Maw

W bonus damage increased later.

Once upon a time, when tanks and fighters only built armor Legendaries like Sunfire Cape and Randuin’s Omen, Kog’Maw was much more able to dissolve defenses and have lower cooldowns. To give him more of a payoff, we’re amping up the zip in his spit so that when the ability is up, he can charge! bugle noises

Master Yi

E base damage increased.

With the last set of nerfs in patch 11.1 and jungle changes, Master Yi had found himself in a tough spot. Putting the alpha in his strike to help all his builds and playstyles, especially those more reliant on attack speed.

Qiyana

W bonus damage increased. R damage increased later.

Qiyana’s power tends to rely on early roams. This has shaped her to be the Elite pick of choice, where players have been able to use her roaming prowess to their full advantage without running into the coordinated safety usually seen in higher-tier games. To bring her more opportunities for royal success, we’re giving her more baseline scaling and encouraging an earlier W max. You know, for crushing.

Rammus

Base health growth decreased.

Rammus has been more armor than arma(dillo), particularly in Average levels of play. Rolling down some of his durability so he has to be more careful before barrelling into fights.

Rell

Base armor decreased. W1 and W2 cooldown increased.

Rell is dominating the pro scene, so we’re giving her opponents a fighting chance by making her more vulnerable to harass.

Samira

Base damage growth increased. Q damage ratio increased later.

Samira is struggling to keep up after her nerfs last patch, so we’re upping this thrillseeker’s scaling so that she can continue to slay when late game rolls around.

Seraphine

Passive subsequent note damage decay removed; Note damage from allies reduced. R cooldown increased.

Seraphine’s still all over our radars and radios, so we’re softening the blow from the Notes coming from allies, while turning up the power on her own Notes. This way, she can continue to be impactful on her own without over-amplifying through the strength of her fans.

Shaco has been spooking the bejeezus out of bot lane but he’s been clowning around in the jungle, so we’re adjusting accordingly.

Udyr

Base health growth decreased. R aura total damage decreased.

With the help of new items like Turbo Chemtank, Udyr has been zooming around the jungle with nary a care with some of the fastest movement speeds we've ever seen, letting him nyoom in and out of fights. We’re dialing back his clear speeds (revert of a 10.21 buff) and making him squishier.

Viego

Fixed several bugs related to Mejai’s and Possession. Passive turret dodging removed.

After tinkering with Viego for a while, we’ve pulled together a few significant bugfixes that should add up to a slight nerf.

General

MEJAI’S BUGFIX Viego no longer loses stacks on Mejai’s Soulstealer and Dark Seal when possessing an enemy, and now gains the Mejai’s and Dark Seal’s stacks of enemies he possesses

TOO FAR BUGFIX Fixed a bug where Viego could sometimes possess an enemy soul from extreme ranges if cast right at the start of another possession

TOO SOON BUGFIX Fixed a bug where Viego would sometimes instantly possess souls without the 1 second cast time.

removedTURRET DODGING Viego no longer dodges turret shots that are in the air when he starts the possession animation

Muramana

Muramana heavily overlaps with Essence Reaver, both in stats and use cases. To better differentiate between the two, we’re changing Muramana’s proc to focus more on empowering abilities, whereas Essence Reaver empowers auto attacks through abilities.

SHOCK Basic attacks and abilities deal 2.5% max mana as bonus damage against champions ⇒ Basic attacks deal 1.5% max mana as bonus damage. Melee abilities deal 3.5% max mana as bonus damage and ranged abilities deal 2.7% max mana as bonus damage; all abilities also deal +6% total AD as bonus damage against champions (on-hit attacks that trigger spell effects count as abilities for this purpose)

SHOCK BUGFIX Fixed a bug where damaging abilities would proc Shock's bonus damage once per ability, and should now only proc once per champion per ability

Stridebreaker

Stridebreaker's dash didn’t feel as powerful as its slash, so we’re balancing both while aiming for a power-neutral change.

HALTING SLASH DASH RANGE 200 ⇒ 300

HALTING SLASH DASH SPEED Slightly increased

HALTING SLASH SLOW DECAY 60% over 2 seconds ⇒ 40% over 2 seconds

DAMAGE 100% AD ⇒ 75% AD

Guinsoo's Rageblade

Certain champions, like Senna, benefit too much from Guinsoo’s Rageblade when you consider the fact that its crit strike chance can scale over 100% and it ignores crit damage modifiers. We’re adding some rules to it to circumvent these edge cases, allow for more item diversity with those champions, and help us better tune the item to be usable for more of the roster.

Speaking of Senna, now, her passive can no longer give her above 100% crit strike chance, and any excess crit is converted into lifesteal at the same rate.

updatedWRATH Convert every 1% critical strike chance into 2 bonus physical damage on-hit, with a maximum of 100% critical strike chance. Wrath’s on-hit damage conversion is now affected by critical strike damage modifiers.

Serpent’s Fang

Serpent’s Fang is a powerful but underwhelming and confusing item, so we're making it more broadly usable. Imagine Grievous Wounds for shields, but with extra profits!

updatedSHIELD REAVER Dealing damage to an enemy champion reduces any shields they gain by 50% for melee champions and 25% for ranged champions for the next three seconds. When you damage an enemy who is unaffected by Shield Reaver, reduce all shields on them by 50% for melee champions and 25% for ranged champions.

ON-HIT ITEM BUGFIX Fixed a bug where Serpent's Fang's Shield Reaver passive would not reduce an enemy's shields if the user had any on-hit items equipped

Maw of Malmortius

Dropping Maw's price to be a more attractive and affordable defensive option.

TOTAL COST 3100 gold ⇒ 2800 gold

Black Cleaver

Adjusting Black Cleaver to be better suited for longer fights while packing it with more punch for its cost.

TOTAL COST 3300 gold ⇒ 3100 gold

HEALTH 300 ⇒ 400

removedBUTCHER Black Cleaver no longer deals bonus physical damage

newRAGE Dealing physical damage to a champion grants 5 movement speed per stack of Carve on them for 2 seconds

In-Game Shop Updates

The shop continued to assimilate knowledge at an alarming rate and has reached a new level of awareness. (It keeps asking us to nerf Ornn.)

Introducing Starter Bundles: The recommended view will now offer you the most popular combination of items players start with instead of just the first item. (Hint: It's usually potions.) Saved you some clicks!
