Patch History[]
Cosmic Drive is probably the single most underrated item in the game. While only Vladimir buys it every game, that list is about seven names too short. We're delivering typical up-front AP nerfs to a sustained damage item and reducing the extremely high amounts of move speed it can provide while still keeping it as the fastest AP item by a lot. This reduction to flat movement speed paired with an increase to its duration should make it less dominated by DoT mages who can maintain the uptime permanently and instead allow conventional mages like Viktor, with or without Blackfire Torch, to utilize its full effects.
- Ability Power: 80 ⇒ 70
- Movement Speed: 5% ⇒ 4%
- Spelldance Movement Speed: 40-60 for 2 seconds on ability damage to a champion ⇒ 20 for 4 seconds on any magic or true damage to a champion
We're buffing several AP items this patch, starting with Cosmic Drive. In general, we identified AP items that we thought had a clear purpose but weren't strong enough to pull the attention of enough champions, so by giving them some direct buffs, we hope to boost the power of AP champions in general and enrich their decision making.
Cosmic Drive currently has very few excited users, which is too bad, since it should be a really solid Ability Haste choice for AP champions who want durability. To help it stand out from other choices, we're bringing up that durability to more clearly signal its best champions. We're also slightly buffing the move speed and cleaning up the scaling, since no one can get a Cosmic Drive at level 1 outside of Practice Tool.
- Health: 250 ⇒ 350
- Spelldance Move Speed: 25-60 (level 1-18) ⇒ 40-60 (level 8-18)
- Total Cost: 3000 gold
- Item Recipe: Kindlegem + Aether Wisp + Fiendish Codex + 450 gold
- 80 Ability Power
- 250 Health
- 25 Ability Haste
- 5% Movement Speed
- Unique Passive - Spelldance: Damaging an enemy champion with an Ability grants 25-60 (based on level) movement speed.
The Cosmic Drive stat shuffle made the item a bit more popular. This change aims to lower the barrier to entry of the passive portion of the item and make it more broadly accessible to mages by removing the old passive and replacing it with a new one. By moving the passive AP into the base stats of the item, the skill test of this item is being reduced so players aren’t burdened as much about sequencing their abilities for the offensive payoff of the item.
- Ability Power: 90 ⇒ 100
- NEW Unique Passive - Spelldance: Damaging a champion (excluding damage over time) generates a stack of 2.5% Movement Speed every 1.5 seconds for the next 5 seconds up to 4 stacks (10% Movement Speed). At 4 stacks, gain an additional 10% Movement Speed (20% Movement Speed total). Dealing damage refreshes this effect. (Note: You only need to deal 1 instance of damage for it to start adding stacks on its own periodically. You then only need to hit them once again after a delay to fully stack it. You don't need to hit them 4 times 1.5 seconds apart. The intent here is that one spell does not fully stack the passive.)
Cosmic Drive has been niche and unpopular for a while now. This stat change aims to make this item a more attractive purchase for damage-focused mages.
- Ability Power: Fiendish Codex + Aether Wisp + Ruby Crystal + 850 gold ⇒ Fiendish Codex + Aether Wisp + Amplifying Tome + 815g
- REMOVED Health Given: 200 health ⇒ 0 health
- Ability Power: 65 AP ⇒ 90
Cosmic Drive is significantly overperforming on most champions.
Cosmic Drive was strong throughout the season… but not very exciting. We're amping up the fantasy of this move-fast-cast-fast item and making its passive available way sooner.
We're changing a couple of the under-purchased mage items so they have more opportunities to shine. Cosmic Drive's passive is now more accessible, while Everfrost now has a new build path and a few small buffs.
Bumping up Cosmic Drive’s power to secure its position as a viable second item choice.
Patch 10.23
Ability haste
If you want to deal death by a thousand spells instead of one needlessly large burst (and move fast while doing it), this is for you.
