Patch Notes v3.05
Patch 3.5 is about to go live, and we've got the details for you listed below. Read on to find out who's hit the gym along with who's been carrying a little too hard and exactly what we're gonna do about them.

Champion Changes

Karma, the Enlightened One

KarmaSquareKarma has been relaunched with updates to her model, her kit and her story. If you would like more information, you can read more here.

  • Gathering Fire (Passive)
    • Reduce's Mantra's cooldown every time Karma damages an enemy with one of her abilities (Half-effect for Karma's basic-attacks).
  • Inner Flame (Q)
    • Fires a blast of energy that explodes upon enemy contact, dealing magic damage and slowing all enemies in the area.
    • Mantra Bonus Soulflare: Deals additional magic damage and leaves a circle of flame at the impact area (or upon reaching maximum range), heavily slowing all enemies inside the circle. After a brief delay the circle erupts, dealing heavy magic damage to all enemies in the area.
  • Focused Resolve (W)
    • Links Karma to target enemy champion, revealing them and dealing magic damage over 2 seconds. If the link is not broken, the enemy is rooted.
    • Mantra Bonus Renewal: Focused Resolve deals bonus magic damage over time and heals Karma for a percent of her missing health while linked to her target.
  • Inspire (E)
    • Target ally gains a shield, granting movement speed for a brief duration and absorbing damage.
    • Mantra Bonus Defiance: The shield overflows with energy, dealing magic damage to all enemies around the shielded unit. Allied champions near the shielded unit gain half of that amount as a shield and are hasted.
  • Mantra (Ultimate)
    • Karma empowers her next ability within 8 seconds for an additional effect.


AkaliSquareAkali

Akali's Twilight Shroud was behaving inconsistently before this patch, so we've adjusted it to better match its visual and theme, and to provide greater opportunity for counterplay.

  • Twilight Shroud
    • Akali is now immediately stealthed/revealed upon entering/leaving the Shroud zone
    • Akali is now immediately stealthed when casting Twilight Shroud directly on herself
    • Akali is now revealed from stealth upon casting a spell or beginning an attack rather than upon dealing damage
    • Delay on re-stealthing increased by 0.15 seconds


AniviaSquareAnivia

  • Crystallize
    • Fixed a bug where Crystallize could stop uninterruptible movement abilities such as MalphiteSquareMalphite's Unstoppable Force


AsheSquareAshe

  • Focus
    • Now displays the Critical Strike chance bonus on the buff bar


DravenSquareDraven

  • Spinning Axe
    • Now leads Draven more accurately when he is benefiting from Movement Speed increases
    • Axe drop location will no longer be placed partially inside walls / terrain


HecarimSquareHecarim

The previous version of Spirit of Dread did not offer enough opportunities for tactical decision-making. With higher cooldowns, our goal is to reintroduce strategic choices other than merely activating the ability whenever it is available.

  • Spirit of Dread
    • Cooldown increased to 22 / 21 / 20 / 19 / 18 seconds from 18 / 17 / 16 / 15 / 14


Master YiSquareMaster Yi

  • Double Strike
    • Double Strike swing time now scales with Master Yi's Attack Speed instead of being fixed at 0.6 seconds
    • Fixed a bug where the second strike of Double Strike could critically hit turrets


RivenSquareRiven

  • Wind Slash
    • Fixed a bug where Riven could cast Wind Slash a second time after using Zhonya's Hourglass


RumbleSquareRumble

Rumble's ultimate was intended to be an area control effect but, with the large upfront damage it deals, it tends to be used more as a long-range nuke instead. With this patch, we're adjusting The Equalizer to better match its original intent.

  • Electro-Harpoon
    • Fixed a bug where the visual effect would disappear before the actual end of the projectile
  • The Equalizer
    • No longer deals initial impact damage but the area burn damage now starts immediately instead of after a 0.5 second delay
    • Burn damage per second increased to 130 / 185 / 240 (+0.3 Ability Power) from 100 / 140 / 180 (+0.2 Ability Power) (total damage dealt across the full duration is unchanged)


TrundleSquareTrundle

  • Pillar of Filth
    • Fixed a bug where Pillar of Filth could stop uninterruptible movement abilities such as MalphiteSquareMalphite's Unstoppable Force


UdyrSquareUdyr

In this patch, we've made some substantial changes to UdyrSquareUdyr. Our goals were to make changing stances feel more impactful, transfer power from passive stats to actual noticeable effects and reduce problematic lane issues. For example, Turtle Stance currently allows Udyr to become an immovable object in lane once he gets ahead, and we want to address that.

  • Mana cost of all stances decreased to 47 / 44 / 41 / 38 / 35 from 55 / 50 / 45 / 40 / 35
  • Monkey's Agility
    • Now grants 5 Movement Speed per stack instead of 4% bonus Armor and Magic Resistance
  • Turtle Stance
    • No longer returns mana when dealing damage
    • Shield increased to 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 from 60 / 95 / 130 / 165 / 200
    • UdyrSquareUdyr can now critically strike in Turtle Stance
  • Bear Stance
    • Udyr now ignores unit collision while the movement speed bonus is active
    • Udyr now performs a slight dash toward his target on stunning attacks while the movement speed is active
    • Bear stance attacks can no longer be self-interrupted mid-attack
    • Movement speed increased to 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 / 35% from 15 / 18 / 21 / 24 / 27%
    • Movement speed duration reduced to 2 / 2.25 / 2.5 / 2.75 / 3 seconds from 2 / 2.5 / 3 / 3.5 / 4
  • Phoenix Stance
    • First attack after activating Phoenix Stance now immediately procs the fire cone in addition to every 3rd attack
    • No longer grants bonus Ability Power and Attack Damage when activated
    • Ability Power ratio on the fire cone increased to 0.45 from 0.15
    • Updated the fire cone's spell effect to be more visible


WarwickSquareWarwick

  • Hunter's Call
    • Now displays range indicator on mouseover
  • Blood Scent
    • Now displays range indicator on minimap on mouseover


ZedSquareZed

  • Living Shadow
    • Fixed a bug where Living Shadow would sometimes cast in a random direction


Items

  • Nashor's Tooth
    • Combine cost increased to 430 gold from 200 (total cost increased to 2,500 gold from 2,270)
  • Maw of Malmortius
    • Fixed a bug where the Lifeline shield was lasting for 3 seconds instead of 5

Changes to Leagues:

  • Fixed an issue where it would appear that players lost LP on a win
  • Changed LP gain and loss calculations in Bronze V so players should experience more predictable LP gains and losses rather than seeing big swings in LP won and lost.
  • Slightly accelerated LP gains for teams that perform well consistently.

General

  • Turrets

In Season 3, we made a few changes that made turrets feel less like a safe haven for defenders – especially in the early parts of the game. Specifically, with turrets attacking minions in a set order and some champions itemizing for health earlier on, it’s become easier for teams to push aggressively and even dive turrets with low risk. These changes should give defending players more of a fighting chance when under their own turret.

    • Turrets now deal 105% damage to champions for the first attack, increased from 94.5%
    • Turrets now deal 25% additional damage for consecutive attacks on the same champion (max 225%), increased from 20% (max 210%)
  • Siege Minions
    • Siege Minions now take 70% damage from Turrets, increased from 50% damage
    • Siege Minions now deal 150% damage to Turrets, reduced from 200% damage
  • Super Minions
    • Super Minions now take 70% damage from Turrets, increased from 50% damage
  • Teleport

We are fixing a bug with Teleport where its visual effect would disappear if cast on an expiring temporary unit. Teleport should always be visible to opponents who have vision of the area, much like how casting it on a non-revealed ward still displays a visual effect.

    • Fixed a bug where Teleport's "incoming" visual effect on the target unit would disappear if cast on an expiring temporary unit, such as Jarvan's Standard or Thresh's Lantern
  • Fixed a bug where new players could not be invited to Matchmaking lobbies after teammates miss a ready check
  • Smart casting with charge-up abilities should be more responsive now
  • Champion Select AFK Detection
    • When any player in a match-made game fails to select a champion before their timer expires, the game is terminated.
    • A player who fails to select a champion is given a queue dodge penalty. The dodge penalty functions exactly the same as if the player closed their PVP.net client.
    • Solo players who succeed in selecting a champion are returned to the front of the matchmaking queue.
    • Arranged teams whose members all succeed in selecting a champion are returned to the front of the matchmaking queue.
    • Arranged teams with one or more members who fail to select a champion are returned to the arranged team lobby.
    • Draft mode is handled on a pick-by-pick basis. If a player fails to pick a champion during their turn, the game is terminated immediately. Players later in the draft order, who did not have an opportunity to pick a champion, are given the benefit of the doubt and not assigned a dodge penalty.
    • This feature currently only applies to match made games. Custom games still assign a random champion if one is not selected.

With every patch, we strive to improve the look of the game in varying degrees. We recommend that you have the latest available video card drivers installed.

April 9th Balance Update

Champion Changes

AkaliSquareAkali
As an assassin, Akali should be a champion with high risk and high reward. These changes increase her early game risk while retaining her later game potential.

  • Mark of the Assassin
    • Initial damage reduced to 35 / 55 / 75 / 95 / 115 from 45 / 70 / 95 / 120 / 145
    • Mark detonation damage Ability Power ratio increased to 0.5 from 0.4
  • Shadow Dance
    • Essence of Shadow charge rate increased to 35 / 25 / 15 seconds from 25 / 20 / 15

CorkiSquareCorki

  • Missile Barrage
    • Now fires a Big One every 3rd missile instead of every 4th
    • Missile charge rate reduced to 12 / 10 / 8 seconds from 12

KarmaSquareKarma
These changes to Karma include several quality of life improvements and enhance her ability to generate multiple Mantras in well-executed fights.

  • Gathering Fire
    • Mantra cooldown reduction increased to 2 seconds at all levels from 1 / 1.5 / 2
  • Inner Flame
    • The detonation area now occurs at the actual point of missile impact instead of at the center of the initial target that is hit

    • Now applies Gathering Fire's effect on each instance of damage dealt instead of only once on initial application, but now deals damage 3 times over the duration instead of 6
  • Inspire
    • Movement Speed duration increased to 1.5 seconds from 1.25
    • Fixed a bug where the tooltip stated the shield was 80 / 115 / 150 / 185 / 220 instead of its actual value of 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 / 240
    • Mantra Bonus - Defiance
      • Movement Speed bonus is now always 60% instead of 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60% (based on Inspire's current rank)
      • Ally shield / haste range increased to 700 from 600

KayleSquareKayle
Previous to these changes, Kayle's support spells could often be cast completely off-screen from her opponents. With these reduced ranges, it should be easier for opponents to anticipate her presence in fights.

  • Divine Blessing
    • Cast range reduced to 900 from 1,000
  • Intervention
    • Cast range reduced to 900 from 1,200

LuxSquareLux
On top of her long range and wide array of defensive utility, Lux was also among the fastest ranged champions in the game. These changes force Lux to be more mindful of her timing and positioning as opponents now have more opportunities to capitalize on her mistakes.

  • Base Movement Speed reduced to 330 from 340
  • Final Spark
    • Cooldown increased to 80 / 65 / 50 seconds from 80 / 60 / 40

  • Soul Shackles
    • Mana cost reduced to 100 at all ranks from 100 / 150 / 200

NamiSquareNami

  • Tidal Wave

    • Cooldown reduced to 120 / 110 / 100 seconds from 140 / 120 / 100
    • Mana cost reduced to 100 at all ranks from 100 / 150 / 200

NautilusSquareNautilus

  • Base Armor increased to 19 from 15
  • Titan's Wrath
    • Cooldown reduced to 22 / 21 / 20 / 19 / 18 seconds from 26 / 24 / 22 / 20 / 18

NunuSquareNunu

  • Absolute Zero
    • Cooldown reduced to 110 / 100 / 90 seconds from 150 / 120 / 90
    • Mana cost reduced to 100 from 150

UrgotSquareUrgot

  • Acid Hunter / Noxian Corrosive Charge
    • Now displays Acid Hunter's lock-on range while there is a visible, nearby enemy champion marked by Noxian Corrosive Charge

VolibearSquareVolibear
Volibear was both an extremely powerful duelist as well as an almost guaranteed initiator for early skirmishes. In order to preserve his presence as a threatening fighter, these changes instead reduce Volibear's ability to force engagements early on.

  • Rolling Thunder
    • Movement Speed bonus toward champions adjusted to 30/35/40/45/50% from 45% at all ranks
