League of Legends - Tipps/Erfahrungen/Tricks

Champions
Ashe

Summary: While cleaning up Ashe's passive, we found a small bug that had been granting unwarranted Focus stacks. We ordered an orbital strike on the bug, and gave Focus a minor buff to compensate.

Focus

Focus stacks per second increased to 4/5/6/7/8 from 3/4/5/6/7
Fixed a bug where Focus was granting stacks while on cooldown in certain situations
Elise

Summary: Spiderlings are now less tanky overall, particularly against champions who build armor penetration. Spiderlings will also descend from Rappel after Elise, meaning if she Rappels with tower aggro and no friendly minions around, she'll be targeted first once she lands (towers used to target Spiderlings first because they would descend first). Rappel also no longer allows Elise to travel outside of the indicated range.

Context: Elise has been a high-value pick in competitive play for some time thanks to the overall strength of her kit. We considered reducing the damage of some of her abilities, but felt like we should target her more frustrating aspects first. Specifically, we wanted to reduce the tankiness of Elise's spiderlings and lower their utility as damage sponges. With these changes we can add a little more counterplay for her opponents, meaning Elise players will need to think more carefully about her Spider Swarm passive.

The other ability we targeted was the deceptively long range of Rappel. We initially designed Elise's Rappel to allow for some extra travel space outside of her indicated range, but in retrospect this made the skill extremely frustrating to play against. These changes mean the circular visual indicator will more accurately show who Elise is able to descend upon.

Health per level increased to 92 from 86
Base Mana reduced to 180 from 199
Mana per level increased to 42 from 36
Base Armor reduced to 15 from 16.3

Double Strike

Every 4th consecutive basic attack, Master Yi will attack twice, dealing 50% damage on the second strike
Alpha Strike

Master Yi becomes untargetable and dashes to up to 4 units, dealing 25/60/95/130/165 (+1.0 total Attack Damage) physical damage and 75/100/125/150/175 bonus damage to minions. Alpha Strike can critically strike for 60% of Master Yi's total Attack Damage.
Alpha Strike's cooldown is reduced by 1 second each time Master Yi basic attacks
Mana Cost: 70/80/90/100/110
Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14
Meditate

Master Yi channels for 4 seconds, gaining 40/45/50/55/60% damage reduction and healing for 30/50/70/90/110 (+0.3 Ability Power) per second. This heal is increased by 1% for every 1% Health Master Yi is missing. The damage reduction is halved against turrets
Mana Cost: 50/65/80/95/110
Cooldown: 35
Wuju Style

Passive: Master Yi gains 7/9/11/13/15% Attack Damage
Active: Master Yi deals 10/15/20/25/30 (+0.1/0.125/0.15/0.175/0.2 total Attack Damage) true damage on hit for 5 seconds. Wuju Style's passive bonus is lost while the skill is on cooldown
Mana Cost: 0
Cooldown: 18/17/16/15/14
Highlander

Passive: When Master Yi kills a champion, the cooldowns on his basic abilities are reduced by 18 seconds (half for assists)

Mana Cost: 100
Cooldown: 75
Nami

Aqua Prison

Fixed a bug where the stun sometimes lasted longer than intended
Poppy

Heroic Charge

Fixed a bug where Poppy would retain her previous move or attack order after charging
Fixed a bug that caused Poppy to stutter briefly after charging
Ryze

Summary:The ranges of Ryze's spells are being reduced this patch, but his Desperate Power movement speed buff has been increased to compensate.

Context: With his spell range and high late game damage, Ryze could effectively nuke back line squishies from distance while still playing the role of "tanky beast" (when built in that way). We wanted to refocus on Ryze's core identity as a mid-range mage, meaning his positioning and proximity to the enemy team is more important than before, while his increased speed should allow him to get up close to priority targets to melt their delicate little faces.

Overload

Cast range reduced to 600 from 650
Rune Prison

Cast range reduced to 600 from 625
Mana cost reduced to 60/70/80/90/100 from 80/90/100/110/120
Spell Flux

Cast range reduced to 600 from 675
Desperate Power

Movement Speed increased to 60/70/80 from 35/45/55
Thresh

Summary: Thresh's reduced base health and armor make him more vulnerable at early levels, but collected souls now grant a flat bonus with no diminishing returns.

Context: We wanted to make trading in lanes a little riskier for Thresh as he had a lot of crowd control through Death Sentence and Flay. Additionally, collecting souls, while a vital part of early game Thresh play, had the tendency to become negligible late game due to their diminishing returns. Giving souls a flat bonus means Thresh's passive stays relevant throughout the game.

General

Base Health reduced to 500 from 541
Base Armor reduced to 12 from 18
Damnation

Souls now always grant 0.75 Armor and Ability Power instead of starting at 1.0 and granting diminishing returns per soul collected
Twisted Fate

Summary: Loaded Dice no longer grants global bonus gold, but instead gives Twisted Fate between 1-6 gold per kill. Pick a Card has been changed, too, giving TF players a smaller window to throw the card after locking it instead of one long window to both lock and throw the card.

Context: Loaded Dice was giving Twisted Fate and his team a lot of hidden power without feeling individually impactful. The change fits more thematically with his kit and allows his passive to feel more noticeable by giving TF more gold on average over the course of the match.

The Pick a Card changes are intended to introduce more counterplay to the ability, as many players were locking their card within a second or two of shuffling, then sitting on the locked card for the rest of the duration to intimidate opponents. While these changes mean TF players have more time to utilize Pick a Card, they'll have a smaller window to act once they lock in their card.

Loaded Dice (Remade)

Upon killing a unit, Twisted Fate rolls his dice, gaining anywhere from 1 to 6 bonus Gold. Naturally, Twisted Fate has a higher chance to receive a larger bonus
Pick a Card

Now has 8 seconds to lock the card and 4 seconds to throw it instead of 10 seconds to do both
Udyr



Spirit Guard Udyr has new death animations
Vayne

Condemn

Fixed a bug where the cast range was longer than intended (650 instead of 550)
Final Hour

Cooldown increased to 100/85/70 from 70 seconds
Warwick

Infinite Duress

Fixed a bug where damage would continue to be dealt after being interrupted by enemy champions
Zac

Elastic Slingshot

Damage reduced to 80/120/160/200/240 from 80/130/180/230/280
General Champion Changes

Champions with dash abilities will no longer be able to activate them while taunted (Jax's Leap Strike, Katarina's Shunpo, and Shen's Shadow Dash)
Champions that waste basic attacks or abilities on damage nullifying shields or absorption shields without breaking the shield (Kayle's Intervention, Poppy's Diplomatic Immunity, Morgana's Black Shield, Barrier, etc) will now be properly granted assists if that champion dies within the appropriate time frame
Items
Magic Resistance Items

Summary: A new magic resistance item has been added to the game in the form of a mid-level MR item that builds into Spirit Visage and Banshee's Veil.

Context: We wanted to reposition Magic Resistance as a personal stat as opposed to an aura-focused stat (see below for our Runic Bulwark updates). With these changes we specifically wanted to create more itemization options against sustained magic damage dealers in the mid game as well as create more options for tanks versus late game poke teams.

New Item: Spectre's Cowl

Recipe: Ruby Crystal + Negatron Cloak + 205 Gold = 1400 total Gold
+200 Health
+45 Magic Resist
UNIQUE Passive: Grants +15 Health Regen per 5 seconds for up to 10 seconds after taking damage from an enemy champion
Spirit Visage

Recipe Changed: Spectre's Cowl + Kindlegem + 375 Gold = 2625 total Gold, up from 2200
Health increased to 400 from 200
Magic Resist increased to 55 from 45
Now additionally grants +20 Health Regen per 5 seconds
Banshee's Veil

Additional UNIQUE Passive: Grants +45 Health Regen per 5 seconds for up to 10 seconds after taking damage from an enemy champion or when the spell shield breaks
Guardian Angel

Recipe Changed: Negatron Cloak + Chain Vest + 1310 Gold = 2750 total Gold, up from 2600
Magic Resist increased to 40 from 30
Runic Bulwark and Locket of the Iron Solari

Summary: Runic Bulwark has been removed from the game. Aegis of the Legion now builds into Locket of the Iron Solari.

Context: We wanted to reduce the burden of buying an Aegis/Bulwark every game. By combining Aegis and Locket, we can more clearly push them into their strategic niche of team fight area-effect damage reduction items.

Aegis of the Legion

Combine cost reduced to 375 Gold from 625 (total cost reduced to 1900 Gold from 2150)
Health reduced to 200 from 250

No longer grants Armor
Magic Resist increased to 20 from 15

Runic Bulwark

Removed from the game
Locket of the Iron Solari

New build path: Aegis of the Legion + 600 Gold = 2500 Gold

+20 Armor
+10% Cooldown Reduction

Frozen Heart

Cost reduced to 2900 from 3000 (combine cost unchanged)

Q
-Reverting the pattern back to the old way where once you have crystal energy you keep it up as long as you keep hitting Qs

-Removing the slow from the crystal energy all together (its moving to E!)

-Hitting enemies with Q now gives skarner an attack speed buff that stacks up to 3 times (this is beast)

E
-Ability reworked from a line projectile to an on next hit attack

-On skarner's next hit he deals bonus magic damage to the target and all enemies behind the target in a line (similar to Vi's E)


He also added in:

"Some additional details about the current changes:
W
-Cooldown is lowered back to 14s from 18s
-Speed amount is increased from 15/17/19/21/23 to 30/35/40/45/50
-Shield values are buffed up to compensate for the loss of heal
-Speed ramps up for the first 3s and then stays maxed for 3s
E
-Cooldown is still 10s (with auto attacks its effectively ~5s)
-Slow starts 80% for 3s that decays
With the current changes, he definitely feels more powerful as a pre 6 ganker. He also is much more reliable getting into fights in the late game.

Removing the heal from E allowed us to do a few really great things for skarner. One, it allowed us to lower the E mana cost significantly because it would be problematic if he was able to sustain without large mana costs. Also, it allowed us to buff up the W shield, which keeps him moving faster for longer. If he ends up being completely unviable top lane, we can always put the heal back on E.
-Targets hit are marked with crystal energy

-When damage is dealt to targets with crystal energy they are slowed significantly for a few seconds

-No longer grants attack speed (moved to Q)
