Yuumi Wiki

League of Legends is a multiplayer game. In the game, the characters controlled by the players are called Champions. Yuumi is one of the champions available in the game. It is a magical cat which is from Bandle city in the game. When she attacks a champion, she will restore mana and gain a shield that follows and protect her. 

Yuumi Patch Notes

A new update for the game, League of Legends was released recently on the official website of the game. This is patch 13. 4 version and this is about the adjustments and improvements made to the champions, items, runes, jungle, and more. There is also information available about the bug fixes in the game. However, there are no patch notes available for the character Yuumi.

Yuumi Rework 2023

Yuumi’s rework is done and it is expected to be revealed on the next patch update of the game. Some adjustments are done to enhance the ability of this champion. Here are some details about Yuumi’s rework in the game, as per the tweet of Matt Leung-Harrison, a lead designer of the game.

Base stats:

Health growth per level: 84 >> 69

Base mana: 400 >> 440

Passive: Feline Friendship

  • When Yuumi’s spells or attacks affect champions, she heals herself and charges a heal for her allies. If she Attaches within the next 4 seconds, she brings the heal to her ally. While Attached, this effect automatically occurs.
  • While Attached, Yuumi builds friendship whenever her ally kills champions and minions. Each ally has their own unique Friendship score. While Attached to her Best Friend, her abilities gain bonus effects.
  • Cooldown: 20-10 seconds (levels 1-11)
  • Heal amount: 20-105 (+15% AP) levels 1-18
  • While her passive is ready, Yuumi’s auto attack range is increased by 50.

Q: Prowling Projectile

  • Yuumi fires a missile that slows the first enemy hit. If cast while Attached, Yuumi can control the missile for a short period before it becomes Empowered, greatly accelerating and slowing enemies by an increased amount.
  • Best Friend bonus: The slow will always be empowered and hitting enemy Champions also grants 10/12/14/16/18/20 (+10% AP) on-hit damage to her ally for 5 seconds. This damage is increased by up to 75% based on her ally’s crit chance.
  • Cooldown: 7.5/7.25/7/6.75/6.5/6,25
  • Mana cost: 50
  • Base damage: 60/90/120/150/180/210 (+20% AP)
  • Base slow: 20% decaying over 1 second
  • Empowered damage: 80/140/200/260/320/380 (+35% AP)
  • Empowered slow: 55/60/65/70/75/80% decaying over 2 seconds
  • Missile width: 65 >>> 55

W: You and Me!

  • Adaptive for to Yuumi and her ally: Removed
  • Best Friend Bonus: Yuumi gains an additional 10-20% heal and shield power (based on ally level) and her Anchored ally gains 3/5/7/9/11 (+4% AP) on-hit healing. This is affected by Yuumi’s Heal and Shield power.
  • No longer procs Summon Aery’s shield

E: Zoomies!

  • Now shields allies instead of healing
  • Cooldown: 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds
  • Mana cost: 80/90/100/110/120
  • Shield amount: 90/120/150/180/210 (+30% AP)
  • Movespeed bonus: 20% while shield persists
  • Attack speed: 35% (+8% per 100 AP)
  • Restores 20/24/28/32/36 mana to her Anchor (not herself), increased by up to 100% based on their missing mana

R: Final Chapter

  • For 3.5 seconds, Yuumi fires 5 magical waves that affect enemies and allies. If cast while Attached, Yuumi can steer the waves to follow her mouse.
  • For ally champions, the waves heal. The heal is increased by 130% on her Best Friend. All excess healing is converted to a shield, lasting 3 seconds after the ability ends.
  • For all enemies, the waves deal damage and apply a stacking slow
  • Cooldown: 120/110/100
  • Damage per wave: 75/100/125 (+20% AP)
  • Heal amount per wave: 35/50/65 (+15% AP)
  • Slow duration: 1.25 seconds
  • Slow amount: 10% +10% per wave hit (up to 50% slow)
  • Best Friend bonus: Waves also grant Yuumi’s Best Friend 20/40/60 (+10% AP) armor and magic resist for the duration of the spell.

League Of Legends Patch Notes 13.4

Here are the complete details about the patch notes of the game League of Legends as available on the official website of the game.

MID-PATCH UPDATES

2/23/2023 Mid-Patch Update 1

Ward Placement Indicators

  • VISION OF VISION Added ward placement indicators (similar to quick cast indicators) which will display where a ward will be placed before actually placing it.

CHAMPIONS

AHRI

Base health increased, base armor increased. R cooldown decreased.

While she saw a lot of time in the spotlight last season, Ahri disappeared when her mains needed her most, partly because of the nerfs she saw going into Worlds. Even after one buff she’s still having a hard time keeping up with her competition, struggling to find positive trades or use her Spirit Rush aggressively. We’re slightly increasing her base durability so she has an easier time in the lane before roaming like the free fox she is. 

BASE STATS

  • Base Health: 570 ⇒ 590
  • Base Armor: 18 ⇒ 21

R – SPIRIT RUSH

  • Cooldown: 140/115/90 seconds ⇒ 130/105/80 seconds

ALISTAR

Passive ally healing increased. Q AP scaling increased. W AP scaling increased.

Despite our best intentions, Alistar lost out on the last patch. Turns out his team fights healing is pretty important. For those of you who are fans of Wizard Cow, he doesn’t appear to be very good as a mage and we’re not intending for that to be the case any time soon. These AP ratio buffs are simply to make stat shards and other sources of Ability Power feel good. 

PASSIVE – TRIUMPHANT ROAR

  • Ally Heal: 6% of Alistar’s maximum health ⇒ 7% of Alistar’s maximum health (Note: This is approximately equal to pre-patch teammate heals values.)

Q – PULVERIZE

  • Magic Damage: 60/100/140/180/220 (+70% AP) ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220 (+80% AP)

W – HEADBUTT

  • Magic Damage: 55/110/165/220/275 (+90% AP) ⇒ 55/110/165/220/275 (+100% AP)

AMUMU

Health growth decreased, and armor growth decreased. W percent health damage decreased.

Amumu is an incredibly strong jungler, specifically at lower skill levels. His late-game baseline power tends to disproportionately affect that bracket, so we’re looking to address that skill skew with these changes. His support gameplay will catch some stray nerfs here, which is fine since he’s also quite powerful there. 

BASE STATS

  • Health Growth: 100 ⇒ 94
  • Armor Growth: 4.2 ⇒ 4.0

W – DESPAIR

  • Magic Damage per Tick: 6/8/10/12/14 (+1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2% (+ 0.25% per 100 AP) of target maximum health ⇒ 6/8/10/12/14 (+ 1/1.15/1.3/1.45/1.6% (+0.25% per 100 AP) of target maximum health

ANIVIA

Health growth decreased, and armor growth decreased.

Outside of one rather blue man, Anivia’s been one of the biggest winners from the Seraph’s x Rod of Ages buffs. She’s now getting much more value out of her newfound durability, thriving against shorter-ranged targets. We’re bringing down her durability scaling a bit in exchange for the newly found durability in her items. This should help opponents punish Anivia more when her cooldowns are, well… down. 

BASE STATS

  • Health Growth: 96 ⇒ 92
  • Armor Growth: 5.2 ⇒ 4.9

ANNIE

Base health decreased. E damage decreased. R cooldown increased.

Annie and Tibbers have made a big impact on the rift following their most recent gameplay updates. While we believe Annie deserves to be effective, she is overperforming relative to her peers in both Mid and Support and could do with a little less power. We are aiming to bring down her base health pool to give opponents early counter-play, reduce her ambient damage from her shield, and limit the summon frequency of Tibbers now that he’s more of a threat on the Rift. 

BASE STATS

Base Health: 594 ⇒ 560

E – MOLTEN SHIELD

Shield Retaliation Magic Damage: 30/45/60/75/90 (+ 40% AP) ⇒ 25/35/45/55/65 (+ 40% AP)

R – SUMMON: TIBBERS

Cooldown: 120/100/80 seconds ⇒ 130/115/100 seconds

APHELIOS

Passive bonus attack speed increased.

Aphelios’ big brain doesn’t have quite enough wrinkles to find wins in solo queue nor enough fans in pro play. As such, Aphelios is receiving some relatively simple buffs. The choice of attack speed on his W rank-up is to make the choice between attack speed and lethality a tight one, giving smart players one more avenue for optimizing their damage.

PASSIVE – THE HITMAN AND THE SEER (WEAPON MASTER)

  • Bonus Attack Speed: 7.5/15/22.5/30/37.5/45% ⇒ 9/18/27/36/45/54%

AZIR

Mana adjusted. W soldier recharge time increased. E damage increased. R damage increased.

After Kassadin and Ryze received nerfs earlier this year, Azir has become the go-to mid-laner in pro play (imagine that), which is a throne the emperor has resided upon comfortably for years. These changes are meant to lower his oppressive early lane pressure and give him compensation that likely results in overall buffs in the hands of non-pros.

BASE STATS

  • Base Mana: 480 ⇒ 380
  • Mana Growth: 21 ⇒ 36

W – ARISE!

  • Soldier Recharge Time: 9/8.25/7.5/6.75/6 seconds ⇒ 10/9/8/7/6 seconds

E – SHIFTING SANDS

  • Magic Damage: 60/90/120/150/180 (+ 40% AP) ⇒ 60/100/140/180/220 (+ 55% AP)

R – EMPEROR’S DIVIDE

  • Magic Damage: 175/325/475 (+ 60% AP) ⇒ 200/400/600 (+75% AP)

CHO’GATH

Armor growth increased. Q mana cost decreased, and base damage increased. W mana cost decreased.

Cho’Gath is a champion that has fallen behind in the meta due to his lackluster late-game presence where his damage falls off significantly and his mana costs make it hard for him to stay out on the map after a single fight. These changes are aimed at relieving some of these issues and making Cho feel better to play. 

BASE STATS

Q – RUPTURE

  • Mana Cost: 60 ⇒ 50
  • Magic Damage: 80/135/190/245/300 (+100% AP) ⇒ 80/140/200/260/320 (+100% AP)

W – FERAL SCREAM

  • Mana Cost: 70/80/90/100/110 ⇒ 70/75/80/85/90

ELISE

Q base damage decreased. Spiderling base damage decreased.

Elise has been lethal recently, and between her clear speed and potent first-blood threat, she’s becoming the queen of the jungle instead of the queen of spiders. We’re reducing some base damage on her Q to curb first blood potential and tapping down spiderling damage to slow her clear a tad so she isn’t head and thorax above the competition. 

Q – VENOMOUS BITE

  • Magic Damage: 70/105/140/175/210 (+8% (+3% per 100 AP) target’s missing hp) ⇒ 60/90/120/150/180 (+8% (+3% per 100 AP) target’s missing hp)

R – SPIDER FORM

  • Spiderling Magic Damage: 10/15/20/25 (levels 1/6/11/16) ⇒ 8/14/20/26 (levels 1/6/11/16)

JARVAN IV

W cooldown increased, and shield strength AD scaling decreased.

The last patch we gave Jarvan a shiny new AD ratio which did wonders for his W. Unfortunately it also pushed him into the top tier of jungle. While we like his shield having some real power, we’re rolling back a bit of the buff last patch so he’s just a bit less durable when he’s snowballing a lead.

W – GOLDEN AEGIS

  • Cooldown: 8 seconds ⇒ 9 seconds
  • Shield Strength: 60/80/100/120/140 (+80% bonus AD) ⇒ 60/80/100/120/140 (+70% bonus AD)

JAX

Base health increased, and health growth increased. E AP ratio adjusted, damage calculation adjusted. R passive on-hit damage decreased, and bonus armor and magic resist decreased early.

Jax is intended to be a late-game monster, but his recent update made him a bit too strong during his landing phase, especially once he gets a point into his new ultimate. We’re hitting his early game with a small nerf while leaving his powerful late game intact. We’re also adjusting his E so it’s more rewarding with the more attacks you dodge. 

BASE STATS

  • Base Health: 685 ⇒ 665
  • Health Growth: 99 ⇒ 100

E – COUNTERSTRIKE

  • ALL THE DAMAGE: Dodging attacks now increases the entire damage of the spell, no longer just the base damage.
  • Minimum Magic Damage: 55/85/115/145/175 (+100% AP) (+4% of target’s maximum health) ⇒ 55/85/115/145/175 (+70% AP) (+4% of target’s maximum health)
  • Maximum Magic Damage: 110/170/230/290/350 (+100% AP) (+4% of target’s maximum health) ⇒ 110/170/230/290/350 (+140% AP) (+8% of target’s maximum health)

R – GRANDMASTER-AT-ARMS

  • Passive On-Hit Damage: 80/120/160 (+60% AP) ⇒ 60/110/160 (+60% AP)
  • Bonus Armor for First Champion Hit: 25/45/65 (+40% bonus AD) ⇒ 15/40/65 (+40% bonus AD)
  • Bonus Magic Resist for First Champion Hit: 15/27/39 (+24% bonus AD) ⇒ 9/24/39 (+24% bonus AD)

MALPHITE

W cooldown decreased, and armor scaling on W attacks increased.

Malphite’s sustained damage as a tank juggernaut is fairly underwhelming at the moment. So we’re aiming to keep his damage relevant throughout the game and allow him to have higher uptime on W for more powerful auto resets throughout a longer fight. 

W – THUNDERCLAP

  • Cooldown: 12/11.5/11/10.5/10 seconds ⇒ 10/9.5/9/8.5/8 seconds
  • Empowered Attacks Physical Damage: 30/45/60/75/90 (+20% AP) (+10% armor) ⇒ 30/45/60/75/90 (+ 20% AP) (+ 15% armor)
  • Cone Physical Damage: 15/25/35/45/55 (+30% AP) (+15% armor) ⇒ 15/25/35/45/55 (+30% AP) (+20% armor)

MAOKAI

Q damage increased. E cooldown increased, base damage decreased, AP ratio decreased, slow HP ratio increased, slow AP ratio decreased.

Maokai is way too strong right now and incredibly frustrating with his sapling bombs which are meant to be zoning/vision tools, NOT damage ones. While AP tree is a compelling build, there’s no risk to crafting a glass cannon when no one ever comes near to it. The Sapling cooldown nerfs will hit tank Maokai and he seems balanced at the moment, so we’re compensation buffing Bramble Smash. 

Q – BRAMBLE SMASH

  • Magic Damage: 70/120/170/220/270 (+2/2.25/2.5/2.75/3% of target’s maximum health) (+40% AP) ⇒ 70/120/170/220/270 (+2/2.5/3/3.5/4% of target’s maximum health) (+40% AP) (Note: This nets out at about a 7% damage increase.)

E – SAPLING TOSS

  • Cooldown: 10 seconds ⇒ 14 seconds
  • Magic Damage: 55/80/105/130/155 (+5% bonus health) (+35% AP) ⇒ 50/75/100/125/150 (+5% bonus health) (+25% AP) (Note: damage is still doubled when Saplings are placed in brush.)
  • Brush Empowered Sapling Slow: 45% (+0.9% per 100 bonus health) (+4% per 100 AP) ⇒ 45% (+1% per 100 bonus health) (+1% per 100 AP)

ORIANNA

Base armor increased. W mana cost decreased.

Orianna is still stuck as an understudy after her last round of buffs where we didn’t quite go far enough to make the buff meaningfully impactful. We’re giving her a teeny bit more power in hopes that the ballerina can finally, once again, take her shot at the main stage. 

BASE STATS

W – COMMAND: DISSONANCE

  • Mana Cost: 70/75/80/85/90 ⇒ 60/65/70/75/80

RIVEN

Passive bonus AD scaling adjusted now deals 50% of bonus damage to towers, stack resource bar added.

Riven is intended to be a very high mastery champion and we don’t think her current state is supporting a type of play that allows her to masterfully snowball her leads into wins. We’re getting rid of her atypical passive scaling to make it more early-skewed and less spikey while letting her passive do a little extra damage to towers so she can be a more powerful side lane threat.

PASSIVE – RUNIC BLADE

  • Bonus AD: 30/36/42/48/54/60% (levels 1/6/9/12/15/18) total AD ⇒ 30-60% (levels 1-18) (Note: Now scales linearly, gaining 1.75% bonus AD per level)
  • TIMBER: Runic Blade bonus damage is now applied to towers, but only deals 50% of the increased damage.
  • Check out these stacks: Riven’s passive stacks are now shown as a resource bar (visible to self only).

SAMIRA

Passive early movement speed reduced. R life steal effectiveness reduced.

Samira has been performing exceptionally well for several months now and her ban rate has skyrocketed. These changes are hopefully a win for everyone: those who are frustrated victims will be less frustrated and Samira mains will find she’s still strong but actually available to pick! Everyone’s happy! 

PASSIVE – DAREDEVIL IMPULSE

  • Movement Speed: 3.5% per stack ⇒ 1/2/3/4% per stack at levels 1/6/11/16

R – INFERNO TRIGGER

  • Life Steal Effectiveness: 66.7% ⇒ 50%

SENNA

The attack ratio increased. R damage increased, and the cooldown decreased.

Senna has fallen behind in terms of strength and popularity lately and, on top of that, her core items are receiving nerfs in this patch. These buffs aim to compensate for those power losses and give her some power in the rest of her kit. We’re buffing R’s cooldown and damage to make it more relevant as an offensive tool post-durability patch, and buffing Senna’s attack speed ratio to promote her build diversity through Kraken Slayer. 

BASE STATS

  • Attack Ratio (Attack Speed per 100% bonus Attack Speed): 0.30 ⇒ 0.40

R – DAWNING SHADOW

  • Physical Damage: 250/375/500 (+100% bonus AD) (+70% AP) ⇒ 250/400/550 (+115% bonus AD) (+70% AP)
  • Cooldown: 160/140/120 seconds ⇒ 140/120/100 seconds

THRESH

Q damage increased, and the cooldown decreased late. W cooldown adjusted, shield strength decreased. E damage increased.

Q>E>W is Thresh’s most popular yet least powerful skill build order. It’s currently optimal to max W early and Q late. E is cool. Thresh is at his best when he’s throwing out hooks, navigating short range combat, and overall controlling the battlefield (as opposed to primarily throwing out enhanced shields to his allies). These AP ratio buffs are essentially scaling damage buffs because he gets 1 AP per soul and these are here to give him some more choice in considering light AP itemization and runes. 

Q – DEATH SENTENCE

  • Magic Damage: 100/145/190/235/280 (+80% AP) ⇒ 100/150/200/250/300 (+90% AP)
  • Cooldown: 19/17/15/13/11 seconds ⇒ 19/16.5/14/11.5/9 seconds (Note: Landing a Death Sentence still reduces its cooldown by 3 seconds.)

W – DARK PASSAGE

  • Cooldown: 22/20.5/19/17.5/16 seconds ⇒ 21/20/19/18/17 seconds
  • Base Shield Strength: 50/75/100/125/150 ⇒ 50/70/90/110/130

E – FLAY

  • Magic Damage: 75/110/145/180/215 (+ 60% AP) ⇒ 75/115/155/195/235 (+ 70% AP)

UDYR

Health growth decreased, and base armor decreased. Q On-hit damage decreased. R increased slowly decreased.

Since Udyr’s VGU, we’ve spent quite a few patches working on the power balance between each of his stance maxes as well as his overall power. As a result, his win rates for different stances have fluctuated greatly, but his overall win rate has been relatively stable. Now that we’re happier about how each stance expresses power (Wilding Claw for AS/AD heavy DPS builds and Wingborne Storm for utility), we’re taking a bigger swing at Udyr’s total power level, which has been a cut above other junglers since Preseason. 

BASE STATS

  • Health Growth: 98 ⇒ 92
  • Base Armor: 34 ⇒ 31

Q – WILDLING CLAW

  • Bonus Physical Damage On-Hit: 5/11/17/23/29/35 (+30% bonus AD) ⇒ 5/11/17/23/29/35 (+25% bonus AD)

R – WINGBORNE STORM

  • Increased Slow: 25/28/31/34/37/40% ⇒ 20/23/26/29/32/35%

VEIGAR

Q range increased. W range increased.

Veigar is a bit short on the winrate. While buffing his damage could definitely return him to his former glory, we want to avoid situations where Veigar outplays his opponents with a masterful Q+R display of skill. Instead, we’re giving the immobile mage a bit more leeway when farming and poking around dangerous enemies. He’ll still have to risk himself for big Event Horizons or Primordial Burst, but this should give him some nice breathing room in other situations. 

Q – BALEFUL STRIKE

W – DARK MATTER

VIEGO

Q passive damage can now critically strike. R AD scaling increased.

We’re buffing Viego because he’s the king. On a more serious note, Viego’s been struggling to find more than just love recently with his declining solo queue and pro strength. Now that he’s in a weaker spot, we’re comfortable giving him some measured buffs to bring his power levels up a little in a way that will reward higher risk/higher reward builds. Hail to the king, baby! 

Q – BLADE OF THE RUINED KING

  • Shot Through the Heart: The passive damage from Q on basic attacks can now critically strike.

R – HEARTBREAKER

  • Physical Damage: 12/16/20% (+3% per 100 bonus AD) of target’s missing health ⇒ 12/16/20% (+5% per 100 bonus AD) of target’s missing health

ITEMS

DEMONIC EMBRACE

Demonic has been a strong contributor for enhanced clear speed times, especially on the likes of a few top tier picks like Maokai, Udyr, and Amumu. We’re now capping Demonic’s damage against monsters so it isn’t quite as effective 

  • Don’t Gaze into the Jungle: Azakana’s Gaze is now capped at 40 damage per second against monsters.

DORAN’S SHIELD

Doran’s Shield is a very strong early-game purchase for both tanks and fighters that makes a lot of champions feel less punishable than desired. This nerf aims to lower passive healing without discouraging interaction-based healing. 

  • Base Health Regeneration: 6 health per 5 seconds ⇒ 4 health per 5 seconds

SUPPORT ITEM ADJUSTMENTS

Since the Durability Update, ranged supports have reigned supreme and melee supports have had to rely much more on finding early lane kills. Our goal with these changes is to even out the power of the two classes (alongside the champion-specific buffs from 13.3) by more closely syncing the time supports get their ward upgrades and improving the balance of health regeneration and spell spamming in the lane.

RELIC SHIELD

  • Base Health Regeneration: 25% ⇒ 50%

TARGON’S BUCKLER

  • Base Health Regeneration: 50% ⇒ 75%

SPECTRAL SICKLE

  • Charge Generation Time: 10 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds

HARROWING CRESCENT

  • Charge Generation Time: 10 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds

SPELL THIEF’S EDGE

  • Bonus Mana Regeneration: 50% ⇒ 25%
  • Charge Generation Time: 10 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds

FROSTFANG

  • Bonus Mana Regeneration: 75% ⇒ 50%
  • Charge Generation Time: 10 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds

SHARD OF TRUE ICE

  • Bonus Mana Regeneration: 115% ⇒ 100%

STEEL SHOULDERGUARDS

  • Base Health Regeneration: 25% ⇒ 50%

RUNESTEEL SPAULDERS

  • Base Health Regeneration: 50% ⇒ 75%

RUNES

MAGICAL FOOTWEAR

Pro players are sometimes going to Magical Footwear and selling the boots when they get them to use the gold to accelerate their mythic item purchases. This circumvents the original intent of the item (to grant you boots) so we want to bring down the power level of this particular strategy. 

  • Used Magic Discount: Magical Footwear will now only sell for 30% of the value of boots, 90 gold. Normal boots and tier 2 boots’ sell value is unchanged.

TREASURE HUNTER

Treasure Hunter is far and away one of the best runes to pick up in your secondary rune tree for almost all champions. It is currently contributing to a lot of early snowballing, so we’re taking away some of the gold that helped it become a top-tier rune. 

  • Gold per Stack: 70+20 per Bounty Hunter Stack (550 gold total) ⇒ 50+20 per Bounty Hunter Stack (450 gold total)

JUNGLE ADJUSTMENTS

Rift Herald

 Shelly’s range is fairly prohibitive for moving her into positions outside of the baron pit that you can use to your advantage. We’re removing her soft reset state where when patience ends and she runs back and can be picked up by the enemy team, so now on contested Shelly’s you can disengage and not lose your objective instantly to the enemy team. 

  • Leash Range: 1100 ⇒ 1200
  • Shelly Ain’t Soft: Rift Herald no longer has a soft reset state and will hard reset when its patience runs out, immediately running back to its original position.

Gromp

Lord Gromp is currently so durable that he’s very hard to counter jungle and his time tax on full clears is too high. We’re pulling down his durability a tad (which will scale his late game durability by even more). 

  • Base Health: 2200 ⇒ 2050

Sustain

Early sustain in the jungle could use a helping hand, so we’re bringing it up just a tad. Remember, this is multiplied by up to x2.25 based on missing HP (which will happen many times in a clear). 

  • Base Heal from Monster Kills: 25 ⇒ 30

Clear Speed

AP Junglers have a very generous ratio on their companion’s damage and now that the meta is dominated by these champions it seems that ratio is a bit too generous. Demonic Embrace after the changes to jungle HP scaling in the preseason made it THE preeminent jungle clear item and put a lot of pressure on tank/bruiser junglers to purchase the item to clear effectively. It should still be a powerful spike for clearing and killing but shouldn’t be quite so overbearing in the PvE aspects of the jungle compared to other options and builds. 

  • Jungle Companion Damage: 16 (+ 10% bonus AD) (+ 15% AP) (+ 10% bonus armor) (+ 10% bonus magic resistance) (+ 3% bonus health) true damage ⇒ 16 (+ 10% bonus AD) (+ 12% AP) (+ 10% bonus armor) (+ 10% bonus magic resistance) (+ 3% bonus health) true damage

Kill Experience

Early game League of Legends has become very snowball. We’re paring down early leads from kills so that when someone gets ahead early into a game they don’t get so far ahead so fast. 

  • Level 1: 42 experience (15% of level) ⇒ 42 experience (15% of level)
  • Level 2: 114 experience (30% of level) ⇒ 114 experience (30% of level)
  • Level 3: 186 experience (39% of level) ⇒ 144 experience (30% of level)
  • Level 4: 258 experience (44% of level) ⇒ 174 experience (30% of level)
  • Level 5: 330 experience (49% of level) ⇒ 204 experience (30% of level)
  • Level 6: 402 experience (52% of level) ⇒ 234 experience (30% of level)
  • Level 7: 434 experience (49% of level) ⇒ 308 experience (35% of level)
  • Level 8: 500 experience (51% of level) ⇒ 392 experience (40% of level)
  • Level 9: 515 experience (48% of level) ⇒ 486 experience (45% of level)
  • Level 10: 590 experience (50% of level) ⇒ 590 experience (50% of level)

Comeback Kill Experience

Especially in the jungle, kills could quickly swing players back into parity with opponents who are substantially ahead of other actions. Comeback mechanics in League are built to get you within a fighting chance of the opponent, but the comeback system on kills brought you up to their level. This shouldn’t be a major shift to leveling in the league but it should mean level leads are a little bit stickier. 

  • Catchup Kill Experience Gained: 16% per level difference between you and the champion killed ⇒ 20% per level difference (beyond the first) between you and the champion killed

ARAM BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS

Champions

  • Aurelion Sol: Damage Dealt: 105% ⇒ 100%, Damage Received: 95% ⇒ 100%

  • Level 4: 16 seconds ⇒ 12 seconds
  • Level 5: 19 seconds ⇒ 14 seconds
  • Level 6: 21 seconds ⇒ 16 seconds
  • Level 7: 23 seconds ⇒ 18 seconds

CLASH – BILGEWATER CUP

The first Clash tournament of the year is coming up next month! Here’s a look at the upcoming Bilgewater Cup dates: 

  • Weekend 1 Registration Begins: March 6 @ 11:00 AM (Local Time)
  • Weekend 1 Tournament Days: March 11 and 12 (~4-7 PM Local, varies by region)
  • Weekend 2 Registration Begins: March 20 @ 11:00 AM (Local Time)
  • Weekend 2 Tournament Dates: March 25 and 26 (~4-7 PM Local, varies by region)

INTRODUCING PARTY CHAT

Party chat is a new chat channel that allows you to chat just with your pre-made party members. Chat channels indicate who will see the messages you send, which was previously limited to the team and all chat. The chat console will now show the chat channels receiving your messages to the left of your chat bar. You can toggle between the different channels with commands or the [tab] key, and change which channels are active for you in your settings. For quick access to party chat, you can use the /party, /pt, or /p commands. Incoming Party chat messages will be indicated with [Party] before the message. Party chat will be the default chat setting for new players. 

BEHAVIORAL SYSTEMS

New commands for /mute self and /deafen are available in-game. We have seen players use the automatic chat abuse detection and muting feature in order to mute themselves, which is a misuse of that system. Given players do want to use this functionality, we are providing ways for players to mute themselves without needing to use inappropriate language to do so. 

  • /mute self will prevent you from using text chat as well as notify other players you have muted yourself. You can undo this by using /mute self again
  • /deafen will prevent you from using text chat AND prevent yourself from seeing chat from other players, as well as notify other players you have muted yourself. You can undo this by using /deafen again

REFUND TOKENS

  • In the 13.1 Patch Notes, we mentioned that Refund Tokens would be deprecated due to internal technical challenges with supporting an older refund system. However, after some reassessment of the situation and a focused effort from our teams over the last several weeks, we’ve identified a path forward to maintain the refund token system that has been present prior to this year. We apologize for the mixed messaging, but ultimately want to thank you for your feedback on this. We also won’t be backtracking on the 3 refund tokens that we granted to each player at the beginning of the season.
  • As a quick refresher on the system: Players will accumulate one (1) refund token each year up to a max total of three (3) tokens per account. The same eligibility rules will apply and can be found in more detail on the support website.
  • With the preservation of this system, this means the next token refresh will occur at the start of Season 14. 

COMPETITIVE

Ranked progression at the beginning of a season starts out strong, but as it progresses it can become more difficult to see movement in your rank. We want to make it easier to move both up and down in rank so that your ranked journey is more eventful overall. Right now moving your rank can feel like pushing a boulder up a hill, so our goal is that if you have a solid session you’ll get to see your rank increase. Ranked hasn’t had large changes in a while now, so as usual, we’re open to your feedback and may make further changes down the road. If you want to learn more about the relationship between MMR and rank, check out this player support article. 

  • LP win and loss amount when your visible rank approximately matches your MMR from 15 ⇒ 22. All gain and loss values are increased across the board.

 A duo in a match has more of an advantage over the solo players in their match than they should right now, so we’re making a change that should result in them being put in games with higher-skilled players on both sides. We’ll continue to monitor and may nudge this value over the next few patches. 

  • Slightly increased the skill rating in matchmaking for duo players in Ranked Solo/Duo.
  • Split point progression will now be shown on the ranked end-of-game progression screen.
