Bonus Balance – Live May 28
Items
This Bonus Balance is somewhat light, but with a big midseason shakeup on the way in 11.6, we did not want to make too many adjustments. We aimed to shift only the most common community talking points, as there is so much to come in just a little longer!
Blackthorn Hammer
With the recent changes in 11.5, Junglers have gone through a bit of whiplash from Jotunn’s Wrath being a mainstay first item directly to Blackthorn Hammer. Though we are still happy with the pace that Junglers are getting their items, we want to make sure that Junglers are able to feel good about getting a true aggressive item early.
- Decreased Physical Power from 40 to 35
Jotunn’s Wrath + Glyphs
- Increased Physical Power from 35 to 40
Duality
Duality clearly did not hit the mark we were aiming for, so we are giving it a couple big buffs to make it more worth the luxury price point. It will now not debuff your Basic Attacks at all, so you’ll gain a big chunk of extra damage!
- Increased Physical Power from 40 to 55
- Decreased Cooldown from 5s to 3s
- Removed Basic Attack Damage reduction
-
Decreased Proc Damage from 50% of your Basic Attack Power to 25% of your Basic Attack Power
- This change equates to 100% of your Basic Attack Power + 25% of your Basic Attack Power + 100% damage from any ability item procs
Gods
Lancelot
It took quite a few buffs (and some crucial bug fixes) for Lancelot to see a significant amount of play. It seems however there are a few areas where he is overperforming, so that is what we are targeting in these nerfs: Shield values, and Movement Speed.
Mount Up
- Increased Mana Cost from 30/35/40/45/50 to 50 at all ranks
- Decreased Initial Shield Health from 80/95/110/125/140 to 60/80/100/120/140
- Decreased Max Shield Health from 180/320/460/600/740 to 180/305/430/555/680
Osiris
Even with the power of Equinox reigned in, the Lord of the Afterlife still remains as a top performer in the solo lane. These are minor nerfs as we do not intend to push him out of the lane – just bring him more in line with other top performers.
General
- Decreased Base Physical Protection from 25.2 to 23.8
- Decreased Attack Speed per level from 1.4 to 1.3
Judgement Tether
- Increased Cooldown from 14s to 15s
Agni
Agni is slightly standing above other mid mages, so we felt it was necessary for him to receive some small targeted nerfs; specifically towards his utility with slight cooldown increases to his Noxious Fumes and Path of Flames.
Noxious Fumes
- Increased Cooldown from 12s to 13s
Path of Flames
- Increased Cooldown from 15s to 16s
