Patch 14.19

  • Ability Power: 45 ⇒ 40


Patch 14.1

  • Total Cost: 1600 gold
  • Item Recipe: Amplifying Tome + Amplifying Tome + Cloth Armor + 500 gold
  • 45 Ability Power
  • 25 Armor
  • Active - Stasis: Use one time only to become Invulnerable and Untargetable for 2.5 seconds. The user is prevented from taking any other actions during this time (transforms into Shattered Armguard on use).


Patch 13.19

Low-price reactive purchases should be solid options that let you slightly delay your offensive buildup in order to slow down threats against you. They're not meant to turn you invulnerable, but meaningfully shift how easily you can be killed. If these items are strong, players should be willing to buy them sometimes without them being default purchases every time the appropriate matchup shows up. Right now, Seeker's Armguard is below the bar set by items like Hexdrinker and Bramble Vest. This is a small buff aimed at making the occasional detour into early armor worthwhile for mages.

  • Armor: 15 ⇒ 20


Patch 12.17

Seeker’s Armguard has been a relatively weak component for some time now. We don’t want it to turn into an early anti-assassin item that discourages aggression from opponents in lane, so we’re opting to increase its AP stats so it’s more comparable to other Zhonya’s components.

ABILITY POWER : [20] ⇒ 30


Patch 11.6

Seeker's Armguard and Verdant Barrier have been doing their job a bit too well, keeping AP scaling champs too safe as the laning phase progresses, which masks their intended weaknesses and contributes to a particularly dull meta. We’re adjusting the strength of these mid-tier items, while retaining the power level of the Legendary items they build into (Zhonya’s Hourglass and Banshee’s Veil).

BONUS ARMOR PER KILL : [1] ⇒ 0.5
MAX ARMOR : [30] ⇒ 15


Patch 11.3

COMBINE COST : [165 gold] ⇒ 265 gold
TOTAL COST : [900 gold] ⇒ 1000 gold


Patch 10.25

ABILITY POWER : [30] ⇒ 20


Patch 10.23

Simplifying and making the item cheaper.

TOTAL COST : 900 gold
BUILD PATH : Cloth Armor + Amplifying Tome + 165 gold
ABILITY POWER : 30
ARMOR : 15
WITCH'S PATH : Killing a unit grants 1 armor, stacking up to 30 times


v8.9
Total cost decreased.

Seeker's Armguard is a reactive purchase for mages who need extra armor in rough matchups. With the cost of Lost Chapter going up, we don't want Seeker's Armguard to take that much longer to purchase in those rough matchups.

TOTAL COST : [1200] ⇒ 1100
UPGRADED : Zhonya's Hourglass' total gold cost is unchanged.


v6.3
Armor up. Build path includes an extra Cloth Armor.

For those looking for buffs to Zhonya's Hourglass, it should be clear we're not doing that. Given how game-warping Zhonya's active can be - and how powerful a deterrent it is against dudes who want to blow you up - we're pretty firm on gating this active with a fair combine cost. That said, Seeker's. Even when it's the right situation to buy Seeker's, it feels wrong, so that's where we're making changes. Mixing in an extra armor item makes it more effective when you're looking to counter physical damage (read: Zed) in lane.

BUILD PATH : [Cloth Armor + Amplifying Tome + 465 gold] ⇒ Cloth Armor + Cloth Armor + Amplifying Tome + 165 gold
ARMOR : [25] ⇒ 30


v5.22
