Player Behavior

Last week, we told players about our short and long term plans to address deliberate game-ruining behavior. Our proposed plans aren't meant to target those who are genuinely having a bad game, but those who decide that the game is over on their own and then spend their time trolling others instead of trying to play their best. The first of our short term plans is to adjust our Reporting and Punishment system. In 10.10, you should start to see more frequent "Instant Feedback" reports for disruptive behavior as we work on tweaking our behavioral systems.

Champions

Annie

E damage reduction increased; Tibbers Burning Aura buffed

We’re hop, skip, jumping to give Tibbers a buff to encourage Annie to bring him out to play more often. We’re also bringing up Molten Shield's damage reduction, which was left in a weak state after her mini-update in 9.18.

E - Molten Shield

DAMAGE REDUCTION 10/13/16/19/22% ⇒ 13/17/21/25/29%

R - Summon: Tibbers

TIBBERS AURA DAMAGE 10/15/20 (+0.1 ability power) ⇒ 20/30/40 (+0.12 ability power)

Diana

Base health and attack damage decreased.

Diana is a scourge for average and skilled play. While her ability to be aggressive in lane is intended, she isn't paying the appropriate cost of putting herself at risk.

Base Stats

HEALTH 594 ⇒ 570

ATTACK DAMAGE 57.04 ⇒ 57

Irelia

E base damage increased.

For a champion that’s kept weak for everyone else because of pro play, Irelia’s finally fallen to the low end of pro. Giving her a surge in the right direction.

E - Flawless Duet

BASE DAMAGE 70/110/150/190/230 ⇒ 80/125/170/215/260

Katarina

Passive dagger AP ratio decreased later.

On the other hand, we’ve been consistently seeing our other blade gal on the higher end of balance, so we’re pulling back on her AP ratios. Katarina will need to be more razor sharp and have the AP to burst her enemies down.

Passive - Voracity

DAGGER DAMAGE RATIO 0.55/0.70/0.85/1.0 ability power ⇒ 0.55/0.66/0.77/0.88 ability power

Kayn

Passive Rhaast heal decreased.

While Assassin form seems to be in the right spot, Rhaast benefited a touch too much, so we’re nerfing the utility specific to that side.

Passive - The Darkin Scythe

RHAAST HEAL 34.5-43% of damage dealt (levels 1-18) ⇒ 30-40% of damage dealt (levels 1-18)

Kled

Q cooldown increased.

Higher cooldowns means this fearless yordle and his less-than-fearless lizard will need to think twice before fishing for hooks in early levels.

Q - Beartrap on a Rope

COOLDOWN 9/8.5/8/7.5/7 seconds ⇒ 11/10/9/8/7 seconds

Miss Fortune

W max bonus movement speed decreased.

Putting a bit less pep in this pirate queen’s step.

W - Strut

MAXIMUM BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 60/70/80/90/100 ⇒ 50/60/70/80/90

Maokai

Base mana decreased. Q cost increased.

Maokai is at the top of top lane, but not dramatically so. Giving him a small nerf to nip this in the bud.

Base Stats

MANA 377.28 ⇒ 375

Q - Bramble Smash

COST 50 mana ⇒ 60 mana

Nidalee

Q damage ratio increased.

We're looking to bring our huntress back on the prowl, so we’re (javelin) tossing Nidalee a bone by amping up her signature spell as she scales into late game.

Q - Javelin Toss

DAMAGE RATIO 0.4 ability power (1.2 ability power maximum) ⇒ 0.5 ability power (1.5 ability power maximum)

Sivir

E mana restore increased.

Empowering Sivir’s mana loop to encourage players to master the art of using her shield and commanding enemies to back off.

E - Spell Shield

MANA RESTORE 80/95/110/125/140 ⇒ 110/120/130/140/150

Soraka

Q base damage increased. W health cost reduction increased.

This Starchild’s enemies are going to be seeing stars.

Q - Starcall

BASE DAMAGE 75/110/145/180/215 ⇒ 85/120/155/190/225

W - Astral Infusion

HEALTH COST REDUCTION 60/70/80/90/100% ⇒ 80/85/90/95/100%

Taric

Base health growth decreased. W bonus armor ratio decreased later.

We’re making Taric's survivability skew more towards his ability usage and reducing his defensive raw stats for himself and his linked ally.

Base Stats

HEALTH GROWTH 90 ⇒ 85

W - Bastion

BONUS ARMOR 10/12.5/15/17.5/20% of Taric's armor ⇒ 10/11/12/13/14% of Taric's armor

Twisted Fate

Base attack damage and armor increased. R mana cost decreased.

TF’s been dealt a weak hand, and he’s been getting lost in the shuffle. We’re stacking his deck by trimming some of the cost from his ult to move it back in line with his peers. We’re also bumping up his base stats to help his farming and early presence.

Base Stats

ATTACK DAMAGE 49.954 ⇒ 52

ARMOR 20.542 ⇒ 21

R - Destiny

COST 150 mana ⇒ 100 mana

Udyr

Base movement speed increased. Base health, mana and mana regen rounded.

This spirit walker has been walking a lonely road, since he's not performing particularly well anywhere. For someone who was historically one of the fastest champions in a foot race, he's fallen quite behind the curve. We're bumping up his base MS so he can bear down on prey, then rounding a couple other stats.

Base Stats

MOVEMENT SPEED 345 ⇒ 350

HEALTH 593.32 ⇒ 594

MANA 270.4 ⇒ 271

MANA REGEN 7.506 ⇒ 7.5

URF Balance Changes

URF returns in 10.10 on May 14! The experiment with pick-URF last year went well, with healthier engagement with the mode and with Summoner's Rift afterwards.

We believe a part of that success can be attributed to the continuous mode-specific balance changes, so you'll see more adjustments below to help keep games nice and snappy.

Happy URF-ing!
