Patch History[]

Patch 14.19

Frostfire Tempest Damage per Second: 50 ⇒ 30

Patch 14.10

We're giving Zeke's the same build path as Locket. It's pretty hard for tank supports to build multiple items on their lower gold income and they don't have the luxury of counter-building a lane opponent. As such, we're making sure there are a couple of hybrid-resist support tank items and ensuring we have almost none for income tanks.

Build Path: Kindlegem + Glacial Shroud ⇒ Kindlegem + Cloth Armor + Null-Magic Mantle
Total Gold Cost: unchanged
Health: 200 ⇒ 300
Armor: 30 ⇒ 25
new Magic Resist: 25 Magic Resist
Ability Haste: 20 ⇒ 10
removed Mana: 250 ⇒ Removed

Patch 14.1

Total Cost: 2200 gold
Item Recipe: Kindlegem + Glacial Shroud + 500 gold
200 Health
250 Mana
30 Armor
20 Ability Haste
Passive - Convergence: When you cast your Ultimate, gain an ice storm around yourself for 5 seconds. The storm deals 50 magic damage per second and slows enemies inside for 30%. (45 second cooldown)

Patch 12.11

ARMOR : [25] ⇒ 35

Patch 10.25

HEALTH : [300] ⇒ 250

ARMOR : [30] ⇒ 25

CONVERGENCE MARK DURATION : [4 seconds] ⇒ 8 seconds

CONVERGENCE BONUS DAMAGE : [25-50] ⇒ 30-70

Patch 10.23
Now grants bonus on-hit damage to your linked ally on targets you have immobilized.

Zeke's previous effect was extremely powerful, but limited to small windows and was hard to appreciate. Updated the effect to be more easily accessible for beefier supports who want to lock-down and protect their carries.
Base Stats

TOTAL COST : 2400 gold

BUILD PATH : Kindlegem + Glacial Shroud + 700 gold

HEALTH : 300

MANA : 250

ABILITY HASTE : 20

Effects

CONDUIT (ACTIVE) : Designate an Accomplice (60 second cooldown)

CONVERGENCE : For 4 seconds after you immobilize an enemy, your Accomplice's attacks and abilities hits apply an additional 25-50 (+1.5% your max health) (+7.5% your AP) magic damage to that enemy

Patch 8.24b
Ally basic attack burn reduced.

We're bringing down Zeke's' offensive capabilities so other tank support items can be considered.

CONDUIT : Your linked ally's basic attacks burn enemies for [50%] ⇒ 30% bonus magic damage over 2 seconds

v7.19
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.

v7.13

ICON-VERGENCE : Icon updated to match last patch’s gameplay update!

v7.12
Now builds out of Aegis of the Legion instead of Amplifying Tomes. Passive now creates slowing storm when triggered, instead of granting ability power and critical strike chance.

When we looked at the support item landscape, we saw a lot of opportunity to amplify the Warden landscape by updating Zeke’s Convergence. Wardens excel at protecting a nearby champion, and we wanted to give them itemization that represents that fantasy. Knight’s Vow already does a good job at helping them keep their chosen target alive, but we felt there was room for an item which made them more worth the investment to keep them safe. As such, we shifted the stat palette of Zeke’s to be more tank appropriate.

We also had concerns that the item itself was too complicated to use, leading to a lot of frustrating misfires - despite its very strong high moments when used correctly. We’re making the active much more reliable to use so that Zeke’s doesn’t make you feel like you’ve spent 2400 on a gamble.
