Patch 7.19

Patch 7.19

Greetings, Summoners,

Welcome to 7.19, the one where Worlds patch is finally in the rearview mirror and we can introduce some of the bigger changes we’ve been working on. There’s a lot this time around, so let’s dive right in!

First, we’ve got Ardent Censer and Janna, both of which have been warping the bot game landscape for awhile. We’re looking to put a clearer strength profile on both of them, and - in Janna’s case - making sure she has more punishable weaknesses as a tradeoff for her late game strength.

We’re also taking this opportunity to give Azir an ability update at this point, trimming a lot of his extraneous strengths (range), but also upgrading his damage. With clearer weaknesses to exploit, we’ll be able to leave Azir in a healthier place than in previous patches.

Finally, Xin Zhao hasn’t been touched since we removed Devourer a year and a half ago. We’re looking into his kit to give him a clearer identity.

There's a lot of updated champions this patch, so brush up on the changes before you hop onto the Rift!

9/27/2017 Balance Update

Janna

When we updated Janna, we wanted to avoid hitting her too hard alongside the changes to Ardent Censer. As a result, we went too far in that direction and she has ended up pretty overtuned, and we're bringing her base stats down as an immediate response. Throughout the patch - and leading into the next one - we'll be evaluating her power and how she's expressing it.

BASE MOVEMENT SPEED : [335] ⇒ 320

BASE MANA : [409.52] ⇒ 350

BASE HEALTH : [525] ⇒ 500

LIGHT BREEZE :	Zephyr's mana cost has been increased to	[40/50/60/70/80]
⇒		50/60/70/80/90

9/28/2017 Balance Update

Janna

After the earlier changes, Janna is still pretty strong. Our goal was to weaken her overall (especially in her ability to passively protect an ally), but also to incentivize her to trade with autos in lane. Right now, her autos are not just worth trading with, they're strong, so we're dialing that back. We're also bringing her shield values down to continue weakening her passive protective ability.

IT WAS WINDY : Tailwind percent of bonus movement speed dealt as magic damage reduced at early levels from [35%] ⇒ 15/25/35% at levels 1/7/13

SHIELDS DOWN :	Eye of the Storm shield decreased from	[80/120/160/200/240]
⇒		70/105/140/175/210

Champions[]

Azir
Ability update; check out the below context and prior dev blog for more information.

Azir has been a League balance problem for awhile. Rather than tweak him patch after patch, we sidelined Shurima’s Emperor for a little while, choosing instead to focus on his eventual mini-update. This is that mini-update. For a deep dive into his changes, check out our dev blog.

Here’s the TL;DR, though. Azir—unlike most long-ranged champions—is hard to kill even when you do manage to get on him, and if you get tooclose, he can even counter-initiate with a timely Shurima Shuffle. As a result, experienced Azir players were really hard to punish. Azir’s mobility, and playmaking potential are super cool, but to keep those and allow players to fight back, we needed to bring his range down to not-artillery levels and focus on his identity as a mobile, sustained damage dealer.

Xin Zhao
Ability update; check out the below context and prior dev blog for more information.

Xin Zhao finds himself a character without an identity at a times, and we wanted to give him something specific to excel at. We eventually settled on the idea of Xin Zhao as a duelist, but we wanted to differentiate him from the controlled dueling of Fiora or the hunt and isolate dueling of Kha’Zix. Xin Zhao, a former gladiator, excels in creating duels amidst a teamfight, and we wanted his kit to reflect that.

Base Stats

BASE ATTACK SPEED : [.676] ⇒ .645

ATTACK SPEED SCALING FACTO : [2.6%] ⇒ 3.5%

Passive - Determination

STRONG AS A RAGING FIRE Every third attack deals 20/40/60/80% (at levels 1/6/11/16) of total AD as bonus damage

NOT THE SHARP END Every third attack heals Xin Zhao

Q - Three Talon Strike

DAMAGE :	[15/30/45/60/75]
⇒	15/20/25/30/35

RATIO :	0.2 total	[0.4 bonus]
⇒		attack damage	align:left

SLASH DAMAGE : 30/40/50/60/70 (+0.3 total attack damage)

THRUST DAMAGE : 30/65/100/135/170 (+0.85 total attack damage)

FORCE OF A GREAT TYPHOON : Wind Becomes Lightning’s cast time is reduced by bonus attack speed

E - Audacious Charge

COST : [60] ⇒ 50 mana

DAMAGE :	[70/110/150/190/230]
⇒	50/75/100/125/150

SLOW DURATION : [2] ⇒ 0.5 seconds

SWIFT AS A COURSING RIVER Casting Audacious Charge grants Xin Zhao 40/45/50/55/60% attack speed for 5 seconds

R - Crescent Guard

TOO TANKY No longer grants bonus resistances

MYSTERIOUS AS THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON For 3 seconds after casting Crescent Guard, Xin Zhao will negate all damage originating from champions further than 450 units away. Duration is extended by attacking champions.

		Aatrox Now unstoppable during Q’s descent. R bonus attack range increased.
	Aatrox is struggling to impose himself in teamfights these days. We're focusing on improving his access to priority targets: Dark Flight is now a more reliable tool for diving the backline, while Massacre’s increased additional attack range will boost his reach as he’s wailing on his foes.
		Q - Dark Flight DON’T STOP ME NOW Aatrox is now unstoppable during Dark Flight’s descent R - Massacre ADDITIONAL ATTACK RANGE : [175] ⇒ 225

Caitlyn
Previous attack speed changes reverted. Reduced trap uptime and vision, but procs deal more damage later. Less health early. Headshot can proc on turrets.

Caitlyn’s received several rounds of changes targeted at the late-game effectiveness of her basic attacks. These passes succeeded in knocking Caitlyn out of must-pick status, but netted more cost than benefit since her basic attack feels far worse to use as a result. This isn’t to say all marksman basics should feel the same, or that it’s impossible for a marksman to succeed at lower attack speed thresholds... just that Caitlyn in particular has fallen below the bar of where she should be.

So, we’re restoring most of what we took from Caitlyn earlier in the season and carving out a more exploitable early-game weakness instead. She still has plenty of tools to bully enemies in lane, but her reduced base health gives opponents a more realistic chance of beating her if they can force favorable trades and all-ins. At the same time, Cait needs to secure early leads more than ever. Her damage is more item-dependent than before, and her general utility of creating excessive safety by blocking off lanes and gank paths has been brought down to far more reasonable levels. All in all, the Sheriff of Piltover’s back to being a late-game demon, but she’ll have to play more carefully as she walks the path to get there.

Base stats

BASE HEALTH : [524.4] ⇒ 475

HEALTH GROWTH STAT : [80] ⇒ 85

BASE ATTACK SPEED : [0.543] ⇒ 0.568

INNATE BONUS ATTACK SPEED : [15%] ⇒ 10%

ATTACK SPEED AT LV1 : 0.625 (unchanged)

ATTACK SPEED GROWTH : [2%] ⇒ 4%

Passive - Headshot

TURRETS HAVE FACES Headshot can now proc on turrets

Q - Piltover Peacemaker

PASSTHROUGH DAMAGE : [50%] ⇒ 67% to enemies beyond the first

W - Yordle Snap Trap

TRAP DURATION :	[90 seconds]
⇒	30/35/40/45/50

BONUS HEADSHOT DAMAGE :	[10/55/100/145/190 (+0.6 total AD)]
⇒	40/90/140/190/240 (+0.4/0.55/0.7/0.85/1.0 bonus AD)

TARGET REVEAL DURATION : [8] ⇒ 3 seconds

CHARGE RATE :	[45/32.5/20/12.5/10]
⇒	30/24/19/15/12	seconds

Janna
E cooldown increased at early ranks. Janna’s basic attacks are stronger. Q base range increased; moves faster when charged.

This is a big set of changes which, combined with the Ardent Censer changes below, add up to say “Janna isn’t a shield bot in lane anymore.” Most directly, eight extra seconds on Eye of the Storm’s rank 1 cooldown makes choosing when to shield a decision with real consequences if Janna chooses wrong. From there, we’re teasing out a more aggressive, risk-taking playstyle from the rest of her kit. Many of these changes read oddly in a vacuum, so go through ‘em with this in mind: a Janna who’s hitting you with attacks and abilities is a Janna who’s standing in threat range with her defensive tools on cooldown. Putting all the pieces together, 7.19 is a net power-down for Janna (and we’re prepared to take further action to ensure that’s the case). Die-hard veterans will find success as they navigate her new risks and rewards, but bandwagoners will be staring at significantly grayer screens.

Base stats

ATTACK RANGE : [475] ⇒ 550

BASE ATTACK DAMAGE : [52] ⇒ 46

ATTACK DAMAGE GROWTH STAT : [3] ⇒ 1.5

ATTACK SPEED GROWTH STAT : [2.61%] ⇒ 2.95%

BASIC ATTACK MISSILE SPEED : [1200] ⇒ 1600

BASE HEALTH : [487] ⇒ 525

HEALTH GROWTH STAT : [78] ⇒ 70

Passive - Tailwind

ZOOM Janna now benefits from Tailwind’s 8% movement speed increase

PECK Janna’s basic attacks and single-target spells deal bonus magic damage equal to 35% of her bonus movement speed

ZOOMING PECK : Tailwind’s 8% movement speed increase counts toward its bonus magic damage. So, at Janna’s base movement speed of 335, Tailwind grants 9.38 bonus magic damage by itself.

Q - Howling Gale

COST :	[90/105/120/135/150]
⇒	60/80/100/120/140	mana

COOLDOWN :	[14/13/12/11/10]
⇒	12 seconds at all ranks

RANGE :	[850 - 1742.5]
⇒	1000 - 1750	based on charge time

PUNCTUALITY Howling Gale now always reaches its endpoint in 1.5 seconds, meaning a fully-charged cast moves 75% faster than an instant cast

W - Zephyr

COOLDOWN : [12] ⇒ 8 seconds

SLOW DURATION : [3] ⇒ 2 seconds

PASSIVE MOVEMENT SPEED :	[9/11/13/15/17%]
⇒	6/7/8/9/10%

RANGE :	[600, measured between hitbox centers]
⇒	550, measured between hitbox edges	(range increased vs large targets, decreased vs small ones)

E - Eye Of The Storm

COOLDOWN :	[10 at all ranks]
⇒	18/16/14/12/10 seconds

Malphite
W passive bonus armor is now tripled when Granite Shield is active.

Malphite is falling a tad short in his role as an anti-physical tank, so we want to give him the opportunity to play his strengths in a way that's tied to his identity. Now, there's an opportunity for Malphite to play around his passive more often, as items like Thornmail and Iceborn Gauntlet get even more powerful when his passive is up. This will also give his opponents something to pay attention to when playing against him. #Counterplay

W - Brutal Strikes

BRUTAL GRANITE Brutal Strikes’s passive armor is now tripled while Granite Shield is active

PASSIVE ARMOR :	[15/20/25/30/35]
⇒	10/15/20/25/30	percent armor

Orianna
Q ball travelling speed increased. W and R will fire only when the ball stops moving.

We're happy with Orianna's reliability and skill timings, but we want to make it more clear and understandable to her enemies when her skills will happen. It’s important to note that if W and R are buffered during the ball’s travel time, only the last cast will occur when the ball arrives its destination.

Q - Command: Attack

MISSILE SPEED : [1200] ⇒ 1400

W - Command: Dissonance

RESONANCE : If buffered, will fire at the destination when the ball has stopped moving

R - Command: Shockwave

SEISMIC : If buffered, will fire at the destination when the ball has stopped moving

Ornn
Mana increased. Q and E mana costs decreased.

Ornn’s mana costs were tuned upwards on release to compensate for his ability to purchase items in lane, but it looks like we were too aggressive.

Base stats

BASE MANA : [300] ⇒ 340

Q - Volcanic Rupture

COST :	[55/60/65/70/75]
⇒	55 at all ranks

E - Searing Charge

COST : [60] ⇒ 50 mana

General changes

WINDOW SHOPPING : Ornn’s recommended items have been adjusted

SMART BUY : Ornn’s mini-shop UI now prioritizes health regen over attack damage when choosing which items to display

Vayne
Q bonus damage increased, but no longer benefits from critical strike. R now extends duration when a target Vayne has damage in the last 3 seconds dies.

Vayne is at a pretty decent place for most players: she has clearly defined weaknesses - her weak laning phase - but if she makes it out unscathed, her high damage output and slippery nature can take over games. But at the highest levels of play, she is more consistently punished for her weaknesses, and never really gets to shine. We think intense high moments and notable low moments is also a part of Vayne’s outplay fantasy, however, so we want to make sure we preserve that feeling, even as we’re making her laning phase more survivable. As a result, let’s break this changelist down into two separate points.

Primarily, we’re shifting some of Vayne’s power back into her laning phase, at the expense of some of her late-game crit scaling. To make sure her potential for high moments is still there, we’re adding a new mechanic to Final Hour to let her snowball a teamfight when she starts off on the right foot. Q - Tumble

TRIP NOT CRIT Bonus damage is no longer increased when the attack critically strikes

DAMAGE :	[30/35/40/45/50%]
⇒	50/55/60/65/70%	of total Attack Damage

W - Silver Bolts

PERCENT HEALTH DAMAGE :	[6/7.5/9/10.5/12%]
⇒	4/6/8/10/12%	target’s maximum health

MINIMUM DAMAGE :	[40/60/80/100/120]
⇒	50/65/80/95/110

R - Final Hour

ONE MORE TURN If a champion dies within 3 seconds of being damaged by Vayne, Final Hour’s duration is extended by 4 seconds. This cannot extend the remaining duration past the initial maximum duration.

Veigar
Base health, health regen, and health regen growth increased. W cooldown reduced.

Veigar’s infinitely-scaling mage fantasy is exciting in theory, but he currently has too many pronounced weaknesses hampering him from reaching his immense power. On the one hand, his weak laning phase prevents him from getting there, and on the other hand, his late game power is coming up a bit...well, short.

In lane, the unreliability of Dark Matter without Event Horizon makes trading pretty rough unless Veigar is willing to burn a ton of mana. Coupled with his low health and health regen, pushing him out of lane was a pretty trivial task. His trading still won’t be great after these changes, but he should be less free to bully around.

In the late game, the Tiny Master of Evil’s unlimited power fantasy is heavily countered by Banshee’s Veil and Quicksilver Sash. Since Dark Matter is already hard to land, we want to give him more chances to land it, especially when he’s scaling hard.

Base stats

ATTACK RANGE : [525] ⇒ 550

BASE HEALTH REGEN : [5.42] ⇒ 6.5

HEALTH REGEN GROWTH STAT : [0.55] ⇒ 0.6

W - Dark Matter

COOLDOWN :	[10/9.5/9/8.5/8]
⇒	8 seconds at all ranks

MORE DROPS Every 50 stacks of Phenomenal Evil lowers Dark Matter’s cooldown by 10% (multiplicative)

Items[]

		Ardent Censer Ardent Censer’s buff no longer restores health. The buff’s attack speed and damage scale with level again. Censer’s owner now also gets buffed when its user heals or shields an ally.
	What we like about Ardent Censer: it gives Enchanters a way to spec into offense, versus defensive builds around Locket, . What we don’t like: it’s relegating supports to heal/shield batteries and acting as a lifesteal item for carries, meaning they aren’t forced to make itemization tradeoffs between sustain and damage. Crit builds just get to have both. More than “Censer OP”, this is a problem with the item’s design. Solving that problem means significant shifts in the support landscape, so in order to keep things stable for Worlds, we’ve avoided tackling that challenge until now. To wit, we’re replacing Ardent Censer’s on-hit heal with a duplicate buff for its wielder. This gives supports a way to participate in Censer’s offensive game plan while removing its function as a proxy sustain item for carries. Aggressive enchanters will still find success with the item, but those who prefer more defensive playstyles should look for greener pastures.
		SAME Healing or shielding an allied champion now also grants you Ardent Censer’s buff, instead of only your ally ON-HIT HEAL Ardent Censer’s buff no longer restores health ATTACK SPEED : [25%] ⇒ 20-35% (at levels 1-18) ON-HIT DAMAGE : [25] ⇒ 20-35 (at levels 1-18)

		Bramble Vest Cost increased. Damage reflected decreased.
	Bramble Vest was a much needed item for tanks who desired a way to deal with auto-attackers with heavy lifesteal/healing. Right now, however, it’s overtuned to the point that it’s good against all basic attackers, so we’re bringing its cost up and effectiveness down a bit.
		TOTAL COST : [900] ⇒ 1000 gold COMBINE COST : [300] ⇒ 400 gold DAMAGE REFLECTED : [20] ⇒ 15 BUGFIX : No longer applies Grievous Wounds to non-Champions

		Thornmail Armor increased
	Thanks to Bramble Vest’s efficiency, Thornmail had an amazing build path. With that build path getting weakened, we want to put more stats into Thornmail to ensure it remains a worthwhile upgrade.
		ARMOR : [75] ⇒ 80

		Edge of Night Spellshield duration increased. Cooldown decreased.
	When compared to other lethality items, or even other defensive AD options (Guardian Angel, Maw of Malmortius), Edge of Night is lagging behind. We want it to be an item that's at least considered alongside the others, so we're amping up its unique strengths to be a bit easier to use on a more frequent basis.
		SPELLSHIELD DURATION : [5] ⇒ 7 seconds ACTIVE COOLDOWN : [45] ⇒ 40 seconds

		Righteous Glory Combine and total cost increased.
	Historically, it’s been a concern whenever an initiation item is cost-effective as a rush item, because it allows a team which is ahead to force fights and get more ahead. Righteous Glory is starting to hit that point, so we’re bringing its price point up slightly to make it less efficient and come slightly later in the game.
		TOTAL COST : [2500] ⇒ 2650 gold COMBINE COST : [950] ⇒ 1100 gold

Zeke's Convergence
Burn damage more frontloaded. Frostfire Covenant now procs when the passive slow is applied.

Zeke’s is both undertuned compared to its competition, and its unique buddy-system playstyle is difficult to optimize. For many of the tanky champions we’d like to see pick up Zeke’s, the basic attack procs of Frostfire Covenant are difficult to execute due to its positioning demands. We’re making the trigger more approachable by simply requiring supports to be in slowing range of their bonded ally’s target, rather than nearly on top of them. We’re also further frontloading the burn damage on ally basic attacks, which will increase the damage dealt by frequent application.

TOTAL COST : [2400] ⇒ 2250

COMBINE COST : [400] ⇒ 250

Ally burn damage

FRONTLOADED	[Up-front damage increased from 17.5% of the basic attack’s damage]
⇒	25% of the basic attack’s damage

TOTAL BURN DAMAGE : STILL 50% of basic attack

Frostfire Covenant

SLOW BURN Frost storm no longer ignites from basic attacking a burning enemy, now ignites when it slows a burning enemy.

Spell Shields[]

This one’s been a long time coming. Ever since League was created, spell shields have been set up to block every ability that hits within an instant of the shield popping. This was due to a code limitation that prevented spell shields from properly ‘talking to’ enemy abilities.

They now work as advertised: only one spell gets blocked, even if the shielded champion is hit near-simultaneously by multiple abilities at once. This won’t come up as often as you might think (the window of protection was seriously tiny), but the more you know… or something.

SPAGHETTI STRAIGHTENED : Spell shields now block only the first ability that hits, rather than every ability that hits at the same time the shield is broken

AFFECTED STUFF : Sivir’s Spell Shield, Nocturne’s Shroud of Darkness, Banshee’s Veil, Edge of Night

Rotating Game Mode[]

Attack. Defend. Repeat. Nexus Siege blasts back into rotation from 9/29/17 at 12:00 p.m. PT - 10/3/17 at 4:00 a.m. PT and 10/6/17 at 12:00 p.m. PT - 10/10/17 at 4:00 a.m. PT.

We also updated the game mode with new features and some bug fixes.
New Features:

Xayah, Rakan, Kayn, and Ornn now playable in Nexus Siege
Kayn tip: You can Shadow Step through walls into the back of the enemy spawn pad, but we don’t recommend it because laz0rz.
Ornn tip: You can forge deployables from anywhere on the map.

Bug Fixes:

Warwick’s Bloodscent (W) VFX no longer persists through round swap.
Team-specific events (e.g., destroying turrets, killing champions) now reflect the correct team in Replays.
Nasus and Sion now give the proper amount of stacks for killing deployables.

TL;DR:

Take turns charging and protecting the Nexus with a crazy arsenal of unique and mega powerful siege weapons.
Earn the fastest base destruction (in attack mode) and victory is yours.
Average game length: 25 minutes.

Seem simple enough? Let the mayhem begin.

Scoreboard Pings[]

You can now ping everything on the scoreboard, so knock yourself out.

Account Transfers[]

Account transfers will be temporarily disabled from October 10 to November 20 as we get ready for preseason.

Champion Select[]

We’re making some quality-of-life upgrades to champ select over the next few patches. Check out the full timeline and feature breakdown here!

POSITION FILTERS : Position filters (top/mid/jungle/etc.) replaced role filters (assassin/tank/mage/etc.) and show the most commonly played champions by position from the previous patch

ADDING FAVORITES : Right-clicking champions adds them as a favorite (by position). Sort by favorites to push champs you’ve added to the top of the list

MASTERY POINT SORTING : Added a dropdown next to the search bar to sort champs by highest to lowest mastery points

HEXTECH CHEST FILTER : Filter to see champions you haven’t earned a Hextech chest with
