Will Muramana make a comeback in Patch 11.1?
More items are set to receive adjustments in the first patch of season 11 of League of Legends.
In a Patch 11.1 preview posted by Mark Yetter – League of Legends Lead Gameplay Designer, more under-performing items will receive adjustments alongside the nerfs for Assassin items. Patch 11.1 is expected to be released on Jan 6th and will bring some other changes as well.
As Arangel’s Staff have been under-performing in the current patches, even by Mages. Due to the fact that it has a higher price but isn’t as good compare to other Legendary items, even far worst than Muramana. At some points, Mages have to build Muramana in replace for Archangel’s Staff, and they indeed, found it a huge success.
As for Muramana, the change in 10.25 which only allow Physical ability to trigger its passive – Shock has effected champions like Ezreal, Corki. This is why in Patch 11.1, Riot will revert its passive, but instead, nerf the percentage of bonus damage from total mana and increase its cost from 2600 to 2900, which is some kind of an acceptable trade.
“We didn’t like the way the previous Muramana change (only procs on physical spells) was impacting the patterns of many of its core users like Ezreal, Corki, and others,” Mark Yetter explained. “So we’re reverting that change and doing a simpler nerf to the item to bring it into balance.”
For Support items, the following patches were the reign of Moonstone Renewer and Imperial Mandate in the inventory of all Support players while Locket of Solari and Shurelia’s Battle Song are left unused. Bonus movement speed from Shurelia’s Song active will be increased in Patch 11.1 as long as an increase in Grevious Wound effect for Chempunk Chainsword and Chemtank Fumigator to help Support cope better in combats.
Runaan’s Hurricane will get its recipe revert in patch 11.1. While it will lose 25 bonus AD stat, the item will become much cheaper at a price of 2,500 gold and its passive damage will be set to 40 percent of the user total attack damage and will retain its bonus crit chance, increase movement speed and Attack speed.
Patch 11.1 is expected to go live in Jan 6th, but the changes in Season 11 will have a whole year to shake things up for League of Legends.
