  Dr. Mundo has been able to more consistently reach his high points in the jungle where he is less concerned about his slow early game. We are looking to curb some of his clear speed to make sure he can’t go where he pleases too quickly and requires some more time to scale up.

    Q - Infected Bonesaw

    Monster Damage Cap: 300 / 375 / 450 / 525 / 600 → 250 / 325 / 400 / 475 / 550

  • 

    E - Blunt Force Trauma

    Monster Damage Cap:: 200%→ 140%

  CHANGEDHwei

  Hwei has remained on the weaker side since the nerfs to his waveclear last year, and we are fixing a bug that we expect to be a further minor nerf.

  Hwei has remained on the weaker side since the nerfs to his waveclear last year, and we are fixing a bug that we expect to be a further minor nerf. We still believe those waveclear nerfs to be correct as we want Hwei League's coolest combo mage, not just a walking waveclear machine. Therefore, we’re buffing his combo casting output up through his passive.

  • 

    Passive - Signature of the Visionary

    Base Damage: 35 - 230 (Levels 1 - 18) → 40 - 285 (Levels 1 - 18)

  • 

    Passive - Signature of the Visionary

    Comboing Slows: Slows from Hwei's abilities now stack with diminishing values.

  • 

    Passive - Signature of the Visionary

    Bugfix: Slows from Hwei's QE and R abilities no longer stack with slows from other champions / items.

  CHANGEDKarma

  Last patch we made some changes to Karma to reduce how generically powerful she was by reducing her midgame shield strength.

  Last patch we made some changes to Karma to reduce how generically powerful she was by reducing her midgame shield strength. Unfortunately those weren’t as effective as we had intended so we’re taking another swing at Karma by directly targeting her E power and reducing her base stats a tad so she is more reliant on skillful and intentional ability usage.

  • Base Stats

    Base AD: 51 → 49

  • Base Stats

    AD Growth: 3.3 → 3.0

  • 

    E - Inspire

    Mana Cost: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 → 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80

• 

  

  CHANGEDLillia

  Our favorite bouncing deer has been a bit less than enthusiastic to prance from camp to camp as of late, it’s a scary jungle out there.

  Our favorite bouncing deer has been a bit less than enthusiastic to prance from camp to camp as of late, it’s a scary jungle out there. We’re hoping to give Lillia players some more courage to bring her into the jungle by increasing her ability to have her high move speed translate into a faster clear.

  • 

    Passive - Dream-Laden Bough

    Monster Damage Cap: 65 → 70-180 (based on level)

• 

  

  NERFEDLucian

  Lucian has a unique role as an AD Carry that dashes in, out of, and around fights which is why many of his players enjoy him.

  Lucian has a unique role as an AD Carry that dashes in, out of, and around fights which is why many of his players enjoy him. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been doing that as effectively recently so we’re looking to remedy that. To get there, we’re lowering both the cooldown and mana cost of his dashes.

  • 

    E - Relentless Pursuit

    Cooldown: 18 / 17 / 16 / 15 / 14 → 16 / 15.5 / 15 / 14.5 / 14

  • 

    E - Relentless Pursuit

    Mana Cost: 40 / 30 / 20 / 10 / 0 → 32 / 24 / 16 / 8 / 0

  NERFEDMel

  Since our recent adjustments to Mel, she’s been hitting too hard with her initial Q missile whether ahead or behind, even as opponents dodge the rest of the spell, so we’re looking to take her damage down a notch.

  Since our recent adjustments to Mel, she’s been hitting too hard with her initial Q missile whether ahead or behind, even as opponents dodge the rest of the spell, so we’re looking to take her damage down a notch. We’re also aiming to reduce how frustrating her W can be by lowering the bonus mobility she gets and the spell’s uptime, with the movespeed now matching her shield and reflect duration.

  • 

    Q - Radiant Volley

    Initial Explosion Damage: 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 (+ 60% AP) → 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 / 160 (+ 55% AP)

  • 

    W - Rebuttal

    Cooldown: 35 / 32 / 29 / 26 / 23 → 38 / 35 / 32 / 29 / 26 seconds

  • 

    W - Rebuttal

    Bonus Movement Speed Duration: 1.5 → 0.75 seconds

• 

  

  CHANGEDTahm Kench

  As a champ in both Top and Support, Tahm Kench requires periodic maintenance as the meta shifts to ensure both roles of his roles are equally supported.

  As a champ in both Top and Support, Tahm Kench requires periodic maintenance as the meta shifts to ensure both roles of his roles are equally supported. In this case, Dusk and Dawn's addition to the game this season has shifted this balance in favor of top lane, so we’re adjusting how his passive scales to help balance him out.

  • 

    Passive - An Acquired Taste

    Damage: 6 - 48 (Levels 1 - 11) (+1.5% AP per 100 Bonus HP) (+4.5% Bonus HP) → 5 - 60 (Levels 1 - 12) (+1.25% AP per 100 Bonus HP) (+4% Bonus HP)

• 

  

  BUFFEDYuumi

  We’re implementing a couple bugfixes to Yuumi’s ultimate, one of which will sometimes result in the magical cat outputting significantly more healing than she may have grown used to.

  We’re implementing a couple bugfixes to Yuumi’s ultimate, one of which will sometimes result in the magical cat outputting significantly more healing than she may have grown used to. As such, we’re throwing her a FISH by increasing her base healing and best friend healing to provide a stronger baseline effect.

  • 

    R - Final Chapter

    Heal Per Wave: 30 / 40 / 50 (+10% AP) → 30 / 50 / 70 (+12% AP)

  • 

    R - Final Chapter

    Best Friend Enhanced Heal: 30% More Healing → 30 - 60% More Healing (Levels 6 - 12)

  • 

    R - Final Chapter

    Bugfix: The attached ally is no longer healed an additional time whenever Final Chapter heals another ally

  • 

    R - Final Chapter

    Bugfix: Final Chapter's overhealing shield now takes into account Heal/Shield power as well as Grievous Wounds

• 

  

  CHANGEDZilean

  As a quality of life change we’re looking to make sure Zilean can only put points into abilities he can fully utilize level 1.

  • 

    W - Rewind

    W Level Up: No longer can level W at level 1.

• 

  

  CHANGEDZyra

  Since the dawn of time Zyra’s have been accidentally putting a point into W and effectively doing nothing level 1.

  Since the dawn of time Zyra’s have been accidentally putting a point into W and effectively doing nothing level 1. Well no more! We’re adding a small QoL change so Zyra can no longer put her first skill point into W to prevent this type of situation from being a thorn in your side and mental blooming.

  • 

    W - Rampant Growth

    W Level Up: No longer can level W level
