K’Sante, who joined the League of Legends roster less than a year ago, is set for a major rework by Riot Games.
The planned rework, rolled out on the PBE testing on September 27, encompass changes to the champion’s health, armor, passive, and most abilities. Notably, only his E ability, Footwork, remains unchanged in this comprehensive update.
The modifications touch on various elements, including the raw damage of his Q and ultimate, as well as the number of knockbacks, slows, and stuns at his disposal. This overhaul, long-awaited by players seeking improvements, particularly targets the divisive Q ability.
