In less than a week, K’Sante will make his significant League of Legends debut, but Riot Games is still tinkering with his power levels. The brawler’s battle-intensive skills now got a slight boost in strength from the devs. Before his live server launch on November 3, K’Sante is having two of his abilities and his passive change on League’s PBE testing area.
The consensus on Reddit was that The Pride of Nazumah was at risk of becoming “underwhelming” and “worthless” upon release, so Riot replied by giving his design a little more strength. When they are released, these enhancements ought to help him win more games.
Riot fixed K’Sante bug PBE
In addition, the Riot development team has been diligently working to fix a number of flaws hidden in K’Sante’s release code. They published the following on Reddit:
If you encounter any in-game bugs while playing K’Sante and/or his Empyrean skin, please let us know by heading to our Bug Reporting Tool and providing any information on the issue. Providing repro steps or a video clip are incredibly helpful for debugging as well!
League of Legends engineer Pehrek said in a post on October 24 that many of these issues on PBE had been fixed. The faults were the expiration of his resistance, the displacement problems with his E ability (where K’Sante was “locked out of actions” after ulting), and others.
The Pride of Nazumah, the first top laner to enter the roster since Gwen 19 months ago, will now deal more damage with his Q and Ultimate abilities, Riot’s champion designer, Llama, stated on October 26.
Additionally, his Q ability “Ntofo Strikes” will now inflict more damage based on his attack damage and increased resistance. He’ll also get bonuses for his passive HP damage and bonus AD. The specific adjustments that will be made are as follows:
Dauntless Instinct (P)
- Passive % max HP: 1/1.25/1.5 at levels 1/6/11 -> 1/1.33/1.66/2 at levels 1/6/11/16
Ntofo Strikes (Q)
- Q Damage tank scaling: 50% AD -> 40% AD + 30% AR/MR + 5 base
All Out (R)
- All Out AD conversion: AR/MR to AD 22.5% -> 32.5%
K’Sante will go live in League of Legends’ upcoming release. Players who unlocked the champion will also be able to buy the Empyrean skin for him once he appears.
In addition, the “League of Legends President” Lil Nas X collaborated with the designers of the Nazuman’s Prestige skin, which will soon be sold in League of Legends.
In the next patch 12.21, several additional well-known League champions, including Ahri, Corki, and Xin Zhao, will earn boosts, while Miss Fortune and Bel’Veth will take a hit.
