Champions

GWEN

BASE ARMOR 37 ⇒ 39

Q - SNIP SNIP! BASE DAMAGE PER SNIP 8/10.75/13.5/16.25/19 ⇒ 9/12/15/18/21

Q - SNIP SNIP! FINAL SNIP BASE DAMAGE 40/53.75/67.5/81.25/95 ⇒ 45/60/75/90/105

-2 armor, 10 damage less damage on Q is not enough to balance this new champion.

ANNIE

W cost increased early.

W - INCINERATE

COST 70/80/90/100/110 mana ⇒ 90/95/100/105/110 mana

Annie’s W cost on the first lever nerfed by 20/15/10/5 is quite a bit, but this champion is based on something else than that.

APHELIOS

Passive lethality increased. R main weapon effects strengthened.

PASSIVE - THE HITMAN AND THE SEER

LETHALITY 3/6/9/12/15/18 ⇒ 3.5/7/10.5/14/17.5/21

CASSIOPEIA

E cost now scales down.

E - TWIN FANG

COST 50 mana ⇒ 50/48/46/44/42 mana

E cost now scales, which is nice, but still it's rather a small buff for Cassiopeia

DR. MUNDO

Passive max health regen increased.

PASSIVE - ADRENALINE RUSH

MAX HEALTH REGENERATION 1.5% ⇒ 2.5%

Q - INFECTED CLEAVER

CAPPED DAMAGE AGAINST MINIONS & MONSTERS 300/350/400/450/500 ⇒ 100/200/300/400/500

HEALTH COST RESTORE ON ENEMY CHAMPION HIT 50% ⇒ 100%

E - MASOCHISM

FLAT BONUS AD 40/55/70/85/100 ⇒ 30/45/60/75/90

MAX BONUS AD 60/90/120/150/180 ⇒ 50/80/110/140/170

Passive max hp regen buffed, Mundo in the jungle nerfed by lowering Q’s dmg into monsters and also his E’s flat bonud ad and max bonud ad got nerfed.

GNAR

W bonus movement speed decreased.

W - HYPER

BONUS MOVEMENT SPEED 30/45/60/75%, decaying over 3s (based on R rank) ⇒ 20/40/60/80%, decaying over 3s (based on R rank)

Less ms for Gnar the less he is a lane bully and can kite in team fights.

LEBLANC

Q damage and total damage increased.

Q - SIGIL OF MALICE

BASE DAMAGE 55/80/105/130/155 ⇒ 65/90/115/140/165

TOTAL DAMAGE 110/160/210/260/310 ⇒ 130/180/230/280/330

Pretty nice buffs for Leblanc, since she bases on her Combo abilities, it just increases her damage.

LEE SIN

E cooldown decreased.

E - TEMPEST

COOLDOWN 10 seconds ⇒ 8 seconds

Small buff for Lee sin

ORIANNA

E bonus resistances decreased early.

E - COMMAND: PROTECT

BONUS RESISTANCES 10/15/20/25/30 armor and magic resist ⇒ 6/12/18/24/30 armor and magic resist

Less armor and magic resist on activated E. It’s a small nerf, but it will be seen.

R - SOARING SLAM

UPDATED COME ON AND SLAM, AND WELCOME TO THE… RAM Rammus leaps into the air and slams down, dealing 100/175/250 (+0.6 AP) magic damage and slowing enemies by 15/17.5/20% for 1.5 seconds. Rammus generates aftershocks at the target location for 4 seconds, dealing 20/30/40 (+0.1 AP) magic damage and stacking the initial slow up to four times. Damage near the center is increased up to 150% damage based on the distance traveled. If Soaring Slam is cast while Rammus is in Powerball, enemies near the center are also knocked up and dealt Powerball's collision damage, ending Powerball's effect.

COOLDOWN 100/80/60 seconds ⇒ 130/110/90 seconds
