Patch History[]

Patch 14.1

  • Total Cost: 3000 ⇒ 3200 gold
  • Item Recipe: B.F. Sword + Chain Vest + Stopwatch + 150 gold ⇒ B.F. Sword + Steel Sigil + 950 gold
  • Armor: 40 ⇒ 45
  • Attack Damage: 45 ⇒ 55 Attack
  • Passive - Rebirth: Upon taking lethal damage, restore 50% of base health and restore 30% of maximum mana. 300 second cooldown ⇒ Upon taking lethal damage, restores 50% of base health and 100% of maximum mana after 4 seconds of stasis. 300 second cooldown.


Patch 12.17

Now that Stopwatch is moving up in price, so is Guardian Angel. With stasis being more expensive, players should feel as though they need to deliberately itemize Stopwatch and its corresponding items as opposed to them feeling like auto-buys just because you purchased a Stopwatch.

COMBINE COST : [50 gold] 150 gold
TOTAL COST : [2800] 3000 gold
ATTACK DAMAGE : [40] 45


Patch 10.23

ATTACK DAMAGE : [45] 40
ARMOR : 40 (unchanged)


v8.11
Cost increased. Armor increased.

We wanted to allow marksmen who face heavy physical damage to get a Chain Vest (rather than just Cloth Armor), knowing they'd eventually build it into something. Guardian Angel was a natural choice, even if it required a higher price point.

TOTAL COST : [2400 gold] 2800 gold
BUILD PATH : B.F. Sword + Stopwatch + [Cloth Armor + 200 gold]
Chain Vest + 100 gold
ARMOR : [30] 40


v7.22

COST : 2400 gold (unchanged)
BUILD PATH : B.F. Sword + Cloth Armor + [800 Gold]
Stopwatch + 200 Gold  


v7.11

Icon update to match midseason’s changes.

ICON : Updated!


v7.9
Now a physical damage item! Attack damage added. Magic resist removed.

Like Banshee’s Veil, the Guardian Angel passive is much more appropriate for carries who could easily find themselves bursted in an instant and in need of a second chance. While we toyed with the idea of finding a way to make the resurrection effect available in both magic damage and physical damage forms, mages have Zhonya’s Hourglass for a stasis effect, and two stasis effects makes for a really frustrating “playing against” case. As a result, we’re retuning Guardian Angel to have more appropriate stats for carries who churn out physical damage.

TOTAL COST : 2400 (unchanged)
BUILD PATH : [Chain Vest + Negatron Cloak + 880 gold] B. F. Sword + Cloth Armor + 800 gold
ATTACK DAMAGE 40
ARMOR : [60] 30
MAGIC RESIST No longer grants magic resist
UNIQUE PASSIVE : Upon taking lethal damage, restore [30% of maximum health and 30% of maximum mana after 4 seconds of stasis (300 second cooldown)] 50% of base health and 30% of maximum mana after 4 seconds of stasis (300 second cooldown)


v6.9
Cost and magic resist reduced.

Despite our changes in 6.5, Guardian Angel’s still not pulling its weight as a reactionary defensive buy. Putting it on sale at the cost of a bit of mitigation helps cement GA as the go-to item when looking for life insurance against physical divers and assassins.

TOTAL COST : [2700 gold] 2400 gold
COMBINE COST : [1180 gold] 880 gold
MAGIC RESIST : [60] 45


v6.5
Costs less and gives more health to squishy champions.

Guardian Angel’s effect is a game-changer in the right circumstances, but its incredibly high price tag makes it hard to feel confident you’ve made the right choice. It’s expensive for good reason, too - when GA is the go-to defensive item, the game state becomes one where almost every champion buys it after a lead, making it next to impossible for gold-starved opponents to break through all those extra lives. That said, squishy champions (primarily marksmen) have been feeling the pressures of being annihilated by assassins and spell-combos lately, so we’re making Guardian Angel more efficient when it’s the right call.

COMBINE COST : [1380 gold] 1180 gold
TOTAL COST : [2900 gold] 2700 gold
REVIVE AMOUNT : [30% of maximum health] the greater of 700 health or 30% maximum health


v5.22

TOTAL cost : [2800 gold] 2900 gold
BUILD path : Chain Vest + Negatron Cloak + 1380 gold
armor : [50] 60
