Patch 11.2

Overview

Patch 11.2

Hi! A certain king has arrived, and so has another patch!

Here in 11.2, we’ve made a couple changes based around healing. First, we brought the spice and everything nice for Soraka; with the last buff to Grievous Wounds, she should now be in a better spot to wish your pain away. On the other hand, folks like Aatrox and Olaf have been healing a bit too well, becoming true terrors when matched with the right items and runes. To change this, we’ve shifted their healing to be tapped straight from their kits— true healing is on the inside, right?

As for items, we spruced up tank Mythics outside of Sunfire, the crowd favorite— although it's a name we all know and love, we're hoping to open the gateway to more item diversity, depending on the game state.

And that’s it! We’ll see you in the next one.

Champions[]

		Viego NEW The Ruined King
	Bring your darkest desires to life with Viego in patch 11.2! Viego Abilities Rundown Ruination - Season 2021 Cinematic Viego Champion Bio

		Akali Q cost increased later.
	Without her trusty Gunblade, Akali has recovered well, wielding several of the AP Mythics to her advantage instead (Night Harvester, Rocketbelt, Riftmaker). This has put her in a stronger spot than we’d anticipated, so we’re toning her down by reverting her buff from 10.23.
		Q - Five Point Strike COST : [120/110/100/90/80 energy] ⇒ 120/115/110/105/100 energy

		Azir Q cooldown decreased.
	Azir lost the cooldowns on Nashor’s Tooth and thus, some of the wind beneath his wings. We’re giving him a lift by returning some of it directly into his kit.
		Q - Conquering Sands COOLDOWN : [15/13/11/9/7 seconds] ⇒ 14/12/10/8/6 seconds

		Caitlyn AD growth increased.
	Caitlyn’s a bit behind the curve amidst her peers, so we’re taking another shot to keep her hot on the trail.
		Base Stats ATTACK DAMAGE GROWTH : [2.88] ⇒ 3.3

		Darius Passive Noxian Might bonus AD decreased.
	Darius has found a new friend in Stridebreaker, which allows him to execute his combo while quickly stacking his passive. We’re trimming some bonus stats from his passive to match its new consistency.
		Passive - Hemorrhage NOXIAN MIGHT BONUS ATTACK DAMAGE : [30-230] ⇒ 20-205

Dr. Mundo
Q health refund on hit and on kill increased. E bonus damage increased. R health regen increased.

Dr. Mundo has been struggling in top lane and the jungle. Giving him a bit more survivability and trading potential, and increasing his signature healing to make Mundo more *slurp* Mundo.

Q - Infected Cleaver

HEALTH REFUND ON HIT : [40%] ⇒ 50%

HEALTH REFUND ON KILL : [80%] ⇒ 100%

E - Masochism

BONUS DAMAGE : [3/3.5/4/4.5/5 of his maximum health] ⇒ 4/4.5/5/5.5/6% of his maximum health

R - Sadism

HEALTH REGEN : [50/75/100% maximum health] ⇒ 60/85/110% maximum health

		Elise Spider Q damage decreased later.
	With new items at her disposal and the buff on her Q in patch 10.23, Elise has been scaling too well. Time to wash the spider out.
		Q - Venomous Bite DAMAGE : [70/110/150/190/230] ⇒ 70/105/140/175/210

		Ivern E shield ratio decreased.
	The nerf to Triggerseed’s AP ratio in patch 11.1 was only reflected in Ivern’s tooltips. We fixed it so it actually affects his shield now (oops).
		E - Triggerseed SHIELD RATIO : [90% AP] ⇒ 80% AP

		LeBlanc Base health growth increased. Q cost decreased later.
	LeBlanc may be all smoke and mirrors, but right now, she’s not fooling anyone. We’re helping this Deceiver by making it less punishing when she uses her abilities and when she engages in mid- to late- game.
		Base Stats HEALTH GROWTH : [92] ⇒ 97 Q - Sigil of Malice COST : [50/60/70/80/90 mana] ⇒ 50/55/60/65/70 mana

		Maokai E cost increased later; damage ratio decreased.
	Maokai support hit a growth spurt in the new season, and his enemies are feeling a bit… sapped. Making it so bushes around Maokai aren’t as scary.
		E - Sapling Toss COST : [60/65/70/75/80 mana] ⇒ 60/70/80/90/100 mana DAMAGE RATIO : [1% per 100 AP] ⇒ 0.8% per 100 AP

		Nocturne Q and R cooldowns decreased.
	Nocturne is falling behind his jungle pals, so it's time to give his shadows, Paranoia, and all around darkness some more stage time.
		Q - Duskbringer COOLDOWN : [10 seconds] ⇒ 8 seconds R - Paranoia COOLDOWN : [150/125/100 seconds] ⇒ 140/115/90 seconds

		Nunu & Willump Base movement speed and health decreased.
	Nunu & Willump currently get to have their tank and eat their enemies too. We’re trimming some of their baseline stats so item decisions carry more weight and give them appropriate downsides as well.
		Base Stats MOVEMENT SPEED : [345] ⇒ 340 HEALTH : [570] ⇒ 540

		Aatrox E’s self-healing now increases during R. R self-healing decreased.
	Champions like Aatrox and Olaf are able to reach a scary state with massive burst healing from items (Goredrinker and Ravenous Hydra) and runes (Conqueror and Ravenous Hunter). The moments where they feel untouchable aren’t healthy, so we’re shifting their healing to be sourced more from their kit rather than from systems.
		E - Umbral Dash IT DOESN’T END HERE Umbral Dash’s self-healing now increases to 26/32/38/44/50% during R - World Ender R - World Ender SELF-HEALING : [50/75/100%] ⇒ 30/45/60%

		Olaf W life steal increased; healing amplification decreased.
	Buff axe-throwing buddy gets a similar adjustment to Aatrox. These changes should also tone down Olaf’s overall power, since he’s been chop-chopping down the competition.
		W - Vicious Strikes LIFE STEAL : [14/16/18/20/22%] ⇒ 16/18/20/22/24% HEALING AMPLIFICATION : [0-50% (based on missing health)] ⇒ 0-33% (based on missing health)

Senna
Base AS ratio increased. Passive non-kill Mist Wraith drop chance and gold from Mist Wraith increased. Q healing and damage ratio increased.

Aiming to support support Senna with more gold so that she can buy more items. We’re also giving her Q and attack speed stronger scaling across builds, which should open up more itemization options.

Base Stats

ATTACK SPEED RATIO : [0.2] ⇒ 0.3

Passive - Absolution

NON-KILL MIST WRAITH DROP CHANCE : [22%] ⇒ 28%

GOLD FROM MIST WRAITH : [3] ⇒ 8

Q - Piercing Darkness

HEALING RATIO : [25% AP] ⇒ 40% AP

DAMAGE RATIO : [40% AD] ⇒ 50% AD

KRAK ON, THEN : Senna’s Q on enemy champions now adds a stack on Kraken Slayer (max one stack).

		Shaco Passive damage increased.
	Leaning just a little bit closer! into Shaco's exciting and unique points of play for stronger jungle clearing and assassination buffs.
		Passive - Backstab DAMAGE : [10-25 (level 1-18)] ⇒ 20-35 (level 1-18)

		Soraka Q total Rejuvenation heal increased later. W heal and heal ratio increased.
	We know you’ve been licking your (grievous) wounds since its buff last patch, so we’re increased Soraka’s heal power all around.
		Q - Starcall TOTAL REJUVENATION HEAL : [50/60/70/80/90] ⇒ 50/65/80/95/110 W - Astral Infusion HEAL : [80/115/150/185/220] ⇒ 90/125/160/195/230 HEAL RATIO : [60% AP] ⇒ 70% AP

		Trundle Q bonus damage ratio increased. W bonus attack speed increased.
	Helping the Troll King get back on his feet in the jungle and top lane, with some added power to his clear and trading.
		Q - Chomp BONUS DAMAGE RATIO : [10/20/30/40/50% AD] ⇒ 15/25/35/45/55% AD W - Frozen Domain BONUS ATTACK SPEED : [20/40/60/80/100%] ⇒ 30/50/70/90/110%

		Varus Base mana growth increased. R cooldown decreased early.
	Varus is a straight shooter but he’s been behind the curve, especially with builds that aren’t attack speed heavy. Giving him a nudge up.
		Base Stats MANA GROWTH : [33] ⇒ 40 R - Chain of Corruption COOLDOWN : [120/90/60 seconds] ⇒ 100/80/60 seconds

		Zoe W minion spell shard drops updated.
	With a new item landscape, it's time for us to add some pizazz to the pool of minion drops from Zoe’s Spell Thief. In doing this, we also removed Redemption because it offered frustrating power across the map when dropped.
		W - Spell Thief MINION SPELL SHARD DROPS NOW INCLUDE : Randuin’s Omen, Locket of the Iron Solari, Turbo Chemtank, Shurelya's Battlesong, Youmuu's Ghostblade, Goredrinker, Stridebreaker, Prowler's Claw MINION SPELL SHARD DROPS NO LONGER INCLUDE : Redemption ITEM SHARD BUGFIXES : Casting Zoe's W - Spell Thief with a shard of an item in her inventory no longer causes that actual item to go on cooldown. Additionally, using an item with a damaging passive right after using its shard no longer causes the second instance to deal 0 damage.

Items[]

		Essence Reaver
	Essence Reaver has been a little weak, so we’re giving it a bump up for mana-hungry champions.
		SPELLBLADE MANA RESTORE : [3% of maximum mana] ⇒ 40% of mana from damage dealt from Spellblade (before damage reduction)

		Galeforce
	Galeforce is outperforming the other marksmen Mythics, both in the “crit chance” space and for champions who can flex into Lethality. As such, we’re pulling back some of the power we gave Galeforce in earlier patches.
		CLOUDBURST COOLDOWN : [60 seconds] ⇒ 90 seconds (applies to Ornn's Typhoon as well)

		Hextech Rocketbelt
	While Rocketbelt's gap closing ability is its intended unique factor, it shouldn’t be the only source for engages every game.
		SUPERSONIC BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED : [50% for 2 seconds] ⇒ 30% for 1.5 seconds

		Imperial Mandate
	Despite a recent trip to the patch notes in 10.25, Imperial is still a strong item for solo lanes and champions with multiple CC abilities. Our priority here is to move it out of the hands of solo laners and to simplify its confusing trigger condition.
		COORDINATED FIRE COOLDOWN : [Applies when ally consumes the mark] ⇒ initial application of slow/immobilize

		Kraken Slayer
	Kraken Slayer is extremely powerful on champion abilities that churn out on-hits. Those abilities tend to have on-hit modifiers for this exact purpose, so Kraken Slayer will now leverage those modifiers of the following champion abilities: Aphelios Q - Onslaught Katarina R - Death Lotus Urgot W - Purge

		Shurelya's Battlesong
	With the cost reduction to Chemtank, the niches for Shurelya’s and Chemtank are getting too close for comfort, so we’re differentiating the two while making it more suitable for enchanters and AP users.
		HEALTH : [350] ⇒ 200 BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED Shurelya’s no longer grants 5% movement speed ABILITY POWER Shurelya’s now grants 40 AP BASE MANA REGEN : [50%] ⇒ 100% BUILD PATH : [Kindlegem + Faerie Charm + Winged Moonplate + 650 gold] ⇒ Kindlegem + Bandleglass Mirror + 750g

		Gargoyle Stoneplate
	Given the premium price you pay for a Stoneplate, it’s not quite powerful enough, as it's very comparable to its cheaper Legendary competitors. We’re buffing up its durability stats to help you soak up all of the aggro.
		FORTIFY BONUS ARMOR AND MR : [3% (max 15%)] ⇒ 5% (max 25%)

Lethality Items

We’re lowering the cost of some of the utility Lethality items to create a new division of 2600 gold AD items, both for AD supports and traditional assassins.

Umbral Glaive

TOTAL COST : [2800 gold] ⇒ 2600 gold

ATTACK DAMAGE : [55] ⇒ 50

BUILD PATH : [Serrated Dirk + Caulfield's Warhammer + 600 gold] ⇒ Serrated Dirk + Long Sword + Long Sword + 800 gold

Serpent's Fang

TOTAL COST : [2800 gold] ⇒ 2600 gold

ATTACK DAMAGE : [60] ⇒ 55

Chempunk Chainsword

TOTAL COST : [2700 gold] ⇒ 2600 gold

HEALTH : [200] ⇒ 150

	Marksman Legendary Items
	We’re adjusting some of the stats on marksman Legendary items so that they give more attack speed than their components.
		Phantom Dancer BUILD PATH : [Zeal + Dagger + Dagger + 850 gold] ⇒ Zeal + Dagger + Dagger + 950 gold ATTACK SPEED : [40%] ⇒ 45% Runaan's Hurricane BUILD PATH : [Zeal + Dagger + Dagger + 850 gold] ⇒ Zeal + Dagger + Dagger + 950 gold ATTACK SPEED : [40%] ⇒ 45%

Tank Mythics

Sunfire Aegis has been wildly popular in contrast to other tank Mythic options, even though they seem similarly powerful in terms of win rate. The hope is that by making a separate, lower price tier for the other tank Mythic items (with each also getting a kiss and a buff), they will have more occasions where they’ll be purchased by support tanks and junglers.

Sunfire Aegis

MYTHIC PASSIVE : [5 ability haste per Legendary item] ⇒ 5% tenacity and slow resist per Legendary item

Frostfire Gauntlet

TOTAL COST : [3200 gold] ⇒ 2800 gold

BUILD PATH : [Bami's Cinder + Null-Magic Mantle + Chain Vest + 850 gold] ⇒ Bami's Cinder + Cloth Armor + Null-Magic Mantle + 950 gold

ABILITY HASTE : [15] ⇒ 20

ARMOR : [50] ⇒ 25

Rimeforged Grasp

ARMOR : [65] ⇒ 40

MAGIC RESIST : [35] ⇒ 40

ABILITY HASTE : [20] ⇒ 25

Turbo Chemtank

TOTAL COST : [3200 gold] ⇒ 2800 gold

BUILD PATH : [Bami's Cinder + Cloth Armor + Negatron Cloak + 900 old] ⇒ Bami's Cinder + Cloth Armor + Null-Magic Mantle + 950 gold

MAGIC RESIST : [50] ⇒ 25

ABILITY HASTE : [15] ⇒ 20

MYTHIC PASSIVE : [5% tenacity and slow resist per Legendary item] ⇒ 5 ability haste per Legendary item

Turbocharged Hexperiment

MAGIC RESIST : [65] ⇒ 40

ARMOR : [35] ⇒ 40

ABILITY HASTE : [20] ⇒ 25

Runes[]

		Ravenous Hunter
	Ravenous Hunter has been the pick of the Domination litter while also performing slightly above average, so it’s in a good spot for a small nerf.
		OMNIVAMP : [2% per Bounty Hunter stack (maximum 11%)] ⇒ 1.7% per Bounty Hunter stack (maximum 9.5%)

In-Game Shop Updates and Bugfixes[]
