Buffs, Nerfs, and Changes

Please Note: It is important that you read the patch notes and the images in their entirety to ensure that you do not miss any information.

• A’Sol’s E scaling is also nerfed.

Azir (buff)

• His base stats are buffed.

Brand (nerf)

• Brand’s base mana regen is nerfed.
• His Passive damage is reduced. This is going to negatively impact him in the mid, jungle and support role.
• Brand’s Q mana cost is increased.

Camille (nerf)

• Camille’s base health is reduced.
• Her W damage is changed, so her poke in lane will be reduced in both the top and support roles.
• Her E bonus damage is also increased.
• Finally, her ultimate damage is changed.

Corki (buff)

• His passive damage is increased.
• Corki’s W damage is increased.
• His Ultimate damage is increased.

Gangplank (buff)

• His base stats are changed.
• E recharge time is reduced. He will be better in the top and mid roles.

Gwen (nerf)

• Gwen’s Passive scaling is changed.
• It will negatively impact her in both the jungle and the top lane.

Hwei (nerf)

• His QQ damage scaling has changed.
• His E cooldown is changed.
• Hwei is going to be negatively impacted by these changes and it will make him weaker in the mid and support roles.

Irelia (change)

• Her Q cooldown, cost, and damage are changed.
• Her Ultimate no longer reduces her Q cooldown.

Kai’Sa (nerf)

• Her Passive first hit damage is weaker early, but stronger late. However, the AP Scailing is down.
• Stack damage is a lot weaker, but the AP scaling is down.
• Maximum damage is also nerfed.
• In short, AP Kai’Sa will be a lot weaker (expect her to be a bit rubbish on ARAM), and this is going to negatively impact her ADC builds too.

Karthus (nerf)

• His Ultimate AP ratio is down. So he is going to be weaker in all 3 roles.

Kassadin (nerf)

• His Q and E AP scaling are both nerfed.

Kayle (buff)

• Her W cost is reduced.

Malphite (buff)

• His base health is increased.

Nasus (nerf)

• His Passive lifesteal is nerfed.
• Nasus’s Q damage is also nerfed at all ranks.

Nilah (buff)

• Her E>Q combo damage is instant.
• Her Q empowered remains empowered.
• Ultimate attack lock out is changed.

Qiyana (buff)

• Her base stats are improved.
• Her W scaling is changed. This will make her stronger in both the jungle and mid role.

Senna (nerf)

• Her base stats are down. She is going to be weaker in both the ADC and Support roles.

Sivir (buff)

• Her base stats are improved.
• Her Q damage is changed. She will be a better ADC with these buffs.

Talon (buff)

• The W return damage is changed.

Taric (nerf)

• Taric’s bonus armor is nerfed at all ranks.

Teemo (buff)

• Teemo’s W movement speed is changed. These will be benefit him, but honestly it is going to not make a big difference.

Viego (nerf)

• His base stats are nerfed.

Volibear (nerf)

• His W cooldown is changed.

Xayah (buff)

• Her W damage is buffed. So she will be slightly better in 1v1s and 2v2s.

Yone (nerf)

• His W damage is changed. He will be weaker in the top and mid roles.

Yorick (nerf)

• Passive damage is changed. The scaling has been reduced, which is technically a nerf even though the damage is increased.

Swain (rework)

• Base stats are changed.
• His Passive heal is adjusted.
• Q cost is changed and so is the damage.
• His W damage and slow are changed.
• For Swain’s E, the cooldown now scales, and the speed/ distance is adjusted too.
• Swain’s Ultimate can now be used up to 100 times. Its damage and heal is changed.
• I think his Ultimate change is unique, and I want to see it in action before I comment on it properly. But it reminds me a lot of pre-rework swain.

Item Changes

Sorcerer’s Shoes

• Magic pen is nerfed. It will not be as strong on AP champions.

Blade of the Ruined King

• Damage is changed.

Runes

Lethal Tempo

• LT is buffed for melee champions. It gives more extra attack speed per stack, resulting in more max attack speed.
