League of Legends Patch 26.14

Azir is feeling more headless chicken than valiant falcon right now. But rather than straight numerical buffs, we're preening his feathers of impactful bugs and changing some rune interactions that should make him start squawking about Shurima more often.

• > W - Arise! · On-Hit? More Like On-Destroy: Scorch, Liandry's Torment, Blackfire Torch, and Hextech Alternator now deal 100% of their damage on-hit instead of 50%
• > W - Arise! · Double-tap: Conqueror will now apply 2 stacks on-hit instead of 1
• > W - Arise! · Laser Focus: Press the Attack now applies to the primary target hit
• > R - Emperor's Divide · Be Gone, Peasant!: Now knocks back jungle monsters

Everyone's favorite incoherent aviator is having trouble taking off in bot lane. So, we want to give a little more firepower to Corki's sorties later in the game, and really enhance his spell-weaving missile firing fantasy!

• > Base Stats · Attack Damage Growth: 2 ⇒ 2.5
• > R - Missile Barrage · Remaining Recharge Time Reduction from Autos: 2 - 4 seconds (based on critical strike chance) ⇒ 2 - 6 seconds

Garen is dishing out too much justice across all skill brackets right now. So, we're going to tap down the Demacian Justice just a tad to make him a little less oppressive, while still rewarding well-timed target selection and inspiring fear in the hearts of those who shirk justice.

• > R - Demacian Justice · True Damage: 150 / 250 / 350 (+ 25 / 30 / 35% of target's missing health) ⇒ 125 / 200 / 275 (+ 25 / 30 / 35% of target's missing health)

Jayce quickly climbed the ranks after our 26.03 adjustments and has stayed at the top of the pack. Additionally, he has become a fairly comfortable blind pick champ due to his Rune flexibility, and is the most picked top laner in higher ranks. Right now he's building like an assassin, but playing like a fighter, which we prefer to the tank Jayce era. These changes should tap down on his speediness and high durability while preserving what makes him fun.

• > Passive - Hextech Capacitor · Bonus Move Speed: 40 ⇒ 30
• > R - Mercury Hammer · Bonus Armor and Magic Resistance: 5 / 15 / 25 / 35 (+7.5% bonus Attack Damage) ⇒ 5 / 12 / 19 / 26 (+7.5% bonus Attack Damage)

Locke's release has gone relatively smoothly, and we are now tuning him down a bit as players have had time to pick him up. We want to open up more counterplay by reducing how long he can pressure with his Q. And we're bumping down the healing on his W because he's not an enchanter, after all.

• > Q - Ritual Nails · Nail Recast Hold Time: 5 seconds ⇒ 4 seconds
• > Q - Ritual Nails · Nail Damage: 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 ⇒ 50 / 58 / 66 / 74 / 82
• > Q - Ritual Nails · Mark Base Bonus Damage: 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 ⇒ 18 / 26 / 34 / 42 / 50
• > W - Soul Ignition · Damage Taken Grey Health Cap: 40 / 80 / 120 / 160 / 200 ⇒ 40 / 70 / 100 / 130 / 160

Morde has lost a fair amount of power ever since the Riftmaker bugfix in 26.10 and could use some love, so we're rewarding him more for when he gets you in his Grasp and enhancing the Lord of Death's 1:1 fantasy.

• > E - Death's Grasp · Damage: 60 / 75 / 90 / 105 / 120 (+40% Ability Power) ⇒ 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 (+45% Ability Power)
• > R - Realm of Death · Stat Steal: 10% ⇒ 13%

Nami has been feeling a bit like a fish out of water since the Mandate changes, especially when combined with her nerf in 26.7. We've targeted her E which has been feeling a bit underwhelming with her new builds, which should shift the tides a bit in her favor to help her make a bigger splash!

• > E - Tidecaller's Blessing · Damage per Hit: 20 / 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 ⇒ 20 / 35 / 50 / 65 / 80

Even after her nerfs last patch, Senna is still tearing through the darkness and the light. We're focusing on bringing down her passive and scaling power as she collects souls and takes names, which should impact her in support less, and more in bot where Shiv is rushed for AP ratios.

• > Passive - Absolution · Critical Strike Damage Modifier: 85% ⇒ 80%
• > Q - Piercing Darkness · Ability Power Slow Ratio: 10% per 100 Ability Power ⇒ 7% per 100 Ability Power
• > Q - Piercing Darkness · Ability Power Healing Ratio: 50% Ability Power ⇒ 35% Ability Power

Seraphine's vocal lessons have paid off and she's hitting those High Notes more consistently. So much so that she's become one of the bot lane headliners. So, we're lowering her volume a little so she doesn't burst everyone's ear drums. We don't have any more immediate plans to adjust her Q hitbox, so are going to tune her around this current state going forward.

• > Q - High Note · Ability Power Ratio: 50% Ability Power ⇒ 40% Ability Power

Yunara's spirit is waning a little. So we're giving her a little more scaling power to help find more balance later in the game.

• > Base Stats · Attack Damage Growth: 2.5 ⇒ 3

Immortal Path has really been living up to its name lately on a couple of mid picks who can use the item, with a higher winrate than expected even for its niche pick rate. These changes should leave it worth building but more reasonable in output.

• > Damage Increase While Above 50% Maximum Health: 5% ⇒ 4%
• > Healing, Shielding, and Regeneration Increase While Below 50% Maximum Health: 15% ⇒ 12%

Protoplasm is overperforming across the board and is leading to particularly potent spikes on champions that buy it early. We still want to make sure it's still an exciting option for tank champs, so we're focusing on decreasing its early single item spike power.

• > Cost: 2500 ⇒ 2600
• > Bonus Health: 200 - 300 ⇒ 100 - 300
• > Healing: 200 - 400 ⇒ 100 - 400

Rocketbelt's popularity on usually immobile mages, rather than AP bruisers, is giving us flashbacks of the Galeforce days. We're adjusting its stat incentives to make it slightly less appealing when compared to other damage-focused options but also keep it feeling good on its traditional core users that rely on the item for engage. There's also a Ruby Crystal in its build path that didn't exist in days where the item built out of Kindlegem and was a little more clunky.

• > Build Path: Hextech Alternator + Fiendish Codex + Amplifying Tome + 300 ⇒ Hextech Alternator + Kindlegem + Ruby Crystal + 350
• > Active Cooldown: 40 seconds ⇒ 50 seconds
• > Ability Power: 70 ⇒ 60
• > Health: 300 ⇒ 350

In a world where the impact of mana in the jungle has been degraded over time, we want Blue to have more reasons to be prioritized.

• > Ability Haste: 10 ⇒ 10 / 15 / 20 (levels 1 / 6 / 11)

• > Cooldown: 108s ⇒ 75s
• > Attack Damage: 25–100 ⇒ 35–150
• > Ability Power: 25–100 ⇒ 35–150

• > Q Passive Tentacle Damage Amplification: 4% - 20% ⇒ 10% - 30%

• > E Cooldown: 10 ⇒ 8
• > E2 Ability Power Ratio: 0.4 ⇒ 0.65
• > R Cooldown: 120 - 80 ⇒ 90 - 60

• > Passive Harrier Cooldown: 7s - 2.56s ⇒ 5s - 1.83s
• > E Cooldown: 12 - 8 ⇒ 10 - 6

• > Q Base Damage: 70 - 250 ⇒ 95 - 275

• > R Damage: 10 / 20 / 30 ⇒ 15 / 30 / 45

• > E Move Distance Post Grab: 675 ⇒ 1000
• > R Base Damage: 250 - 450 ⇒ 350 - 550

• > NEW Capstone Interaction: Max Level capstone now triggers even if you are already invulnerable from Divine Intervention
• > NEW Quantum Computing Interaction: Now properly works with Quantum Computing, and will multicast with a 0.25 second delay between casts, for a max invulnerability duration of 3.5 seconds

• > Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where having both of these would sometimes prevent a spell from critting
• > NEW Double Tap Interaction: 5 second per spell cooldown
• > NEW Critical Rhythm Interaction: 4 second per spell cooldown

• > Execute Threshold Level 2: 1.25 (23.75%) ⇒ 1 (20%)

If there's a major piece of information you feel is now missing or harder to track because of these changes, we want to hear from you.

• > Trimmed redundant buffs that repeat information already clearly communicated elsewhere in the UI or gameplay state (e.g. role quest progress and other obvious state changes).
• > Moved most item buffs with durations into the inventory on the item itself.
• > Reduced buff bar clutter from lower-impact system, map and item effects that don't meaningfully change player decision-making.
• > Removed display of very short-duration debuffs and effects (˜0.25s), including things like minor slows from Honeyfruit pickups.
• > Fixed a bug where Caitlyn's Headshot may fail to fire while in brush.
• > Fixed a bug where Guinsoo's Rageblade's first Phantom Hit would apply one attack earlier than expected.
• > Remake votes will now begin automatically when they are eligible rather than requiring a player to type /remake in chat. Chat context now explains which player triggered the remake vote and why.
• > Deafen and self-mute functionality can now only be toggled once every 60 seconds to prevent spam and disruptive one-way communication.
