Patch 10.12 (cont.)
Champion Balance
Top lane: There aren’t any changes.
Jungle:
Fiddlesticks: He received a minor nerf after getting buffed twice.
- [Nerf] W – Bountiful Harvest: Damage to minions: 60% > 50%.
Trundle: His early game will be affected heavily by this nerf. Chasing or sometimes running away from enemies will be a lot more difficult.
- [Nerf] Movement speed: 30 – 50% > 20 – 52%.
Volibear: Just like other newly-rework champions, Volibear has a low win rate percentages and has been underperforming. These buffs hopefully will stabilize his win rate.
- [Buff] Q – Thundering Smash’s movement speed: 10 – 30% > 15 – 35%.
- [Buff] E – Sky Splitter bonus damage 60 – 180 (+7 – 13%) > 80 – 200 (+11-15%) of target’s max HP. Non champion damage cap increased by 50% at all ranks.
Mid lane:
Akali: Having a low 45% win rate on high ELO matches (Platinum and higher). She receives another buff. This buff will help her a little bit better in lane and clear out the waves faster.
- [Buff] Q – Five Point Strike damage: 25 – 125 (+65% total AD)(+60% AP) > 30 – 130 (+65% total AD)(+65% AP).
Brand:
- [Buff] Passive – Blaze: Mana restored on ablazed kill: 6 – 18 > 10 – 30.
Viktor: He will be harder to kill and deal a lot more late game damage.
- [Buff]
Q – Siphon power
- Auto attack AP ratio: 55% > 60%.
- Shield AP ratio: 15% > 20% (empowered 24% > 32%).
Yasuo: Lot’s of High ELO players usually farm safely by alternating between his Passive (Way of the Wanderer) and his W (Wind Wall). His W (Wind Wall) CD is increased, it will be much easier to play again Yasuo now and ranged-champions can easily proc his passive shield.
- [Nerf] Base HP: 523 > 490.
- [Buff] Passive – Way of the Wanderer shield: 110 – 510 > 130 – 530.
- [Nerf] W – Wind Wall cooldown 26 – 18 > 30 – 18.
Cassiopeia:
- [Nerf]
Stats:
- Base HP: 575 > 560.
- Base armor: 20 > 18.
- Base MR: 30 > 34
Bot lane:
Varus: this will help players have much easier time playing against Varus.
- [Nerf] Stats: AD per level: 3.31 > 3.
- [Nerf] Q – Piercing Arrow: Total AD ratio: 1.1 (1.65 max charge) > 1 (1.5 max charge).
Senna: By having attack speed ratio nearly doubling, this will open up more ways to build Senna instead of going Lethal Items.
- [Buff] Stats: Attack Speed Ratio: 0.2 > 0.35.
- [Buff] Passive – Absolution: Soul generation on kill: 2% > 8.333%.
Xayah: this ultimate buff will make Xayah’s ultimate feels like a real ultimate rather than a tool to reposition herself or to set up her E pull back.
- [Buff] R – Featherstorm damage: 100 – 200 > 125 – 375.
