Large, like Leona stocks in 17.4.<\/p>\n
TRAITS<\/p>\n
In the mid-patch update last week we hit a lot of the overperforming Arbiter outputs, but there are still a few that are overproducing Leonas, so we’re following up on those.<\/p>\n
Meeple (7) is about printing Meeples (and more), but it’s very rarely run since Meeple (5) gives the same bonus HP and is generally seen as more worthwhile for the board you’re running. We’re moving some power from (5) to (7) and adding a bit more heft to the Prismatic as well. With Meeple (5) coming down, we’re also going to be moving some power around for the units so they can flex better into other comps.<\/p>\n
We’ve got two bug fixes for Serpent that should result in the trait being power-neutral or even a very small buff for variations that aren’t running Xayah as their primary carry.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen a lot of players use a 300 Anima cashout to tempo and pivot into a different non-Anima focused reroll line. While this is fine, we also want utilizing the Anima units after these tempo-style cashouts to be a more competitive strategy, so we\u2019re lowering the econ value of the cashout, while buffing many of the Anima items, focusing on the bonus stats these items give to Anima units.<\/p>\n

Right now there are a few 1-costs that are just too weak even when itemized and upgraded early on. Nasus has always been carried by Leona, and Teemo has fallen off since the 17.3 reroll heavy patch, so we’re returning him to his 17.3 power now that we’ve got some of the other reroll outliers in check. Finally, Veigar is just a bit too niche right now so we’re giving him an appropriately sized buff to get him standing tall enough to reach the meta.<\/p>\n

A few 2-cost comps are doing well in 17.4, but there are a few that still aren’t playable. Akali and Bel’Veth should lift melee reroll lines, while Mordekaiser can provide a better frontline for the reroll lines that utilize Conduit.<\/p>\n

Fizz is the one Rogue that isn’t able to find success past Stage 3. He’s got a fun play pattern building up to his Megalomeep (yes I know it’s called a Mega Meep in the tooltip) and with Meeple (5) coming down and Gwen slowing down (a bit), we’re able to give him a decent sized buff to help Megalomeep chomp down!<\/p>\n
Ornn’s been the biggest benefactor of our recent Space Groove buffs and while we’re happy to see this line dance its way back into the meta, the synergy of our trait (HP regen) and unit buffs from 17.4 had Ornn end up being a bit too tanky.<\/p>\n

With Leona printing in check, we’re able to give LeBlanc a small buff to her final active cast.<\/p>\n
Rammus is getting an adjustment that should have him less tied to Meeple, making him a better tank in Bastion splashes.<\/p>\n

Fast 9 was one of the best ways to play 17.5 before our mid-patch update. We pulled back the power of Vex a bit too far with our nerfs to the strategy, so we’re returning some of that here while also giving Bard a buff in the hopes he can perform as a primary carry soon.<\/p>\n
Bard Spell Damage: 220\/330 >> 240\/360Vex Spell Damage: 130\/195 AP \u21d2 140\/210 APAUGMENTS<\/p>\n
We’re taking a very large balance pass on our Augments with a focus in nerfing long overperforming econ Augments and buffing combat Augments that haven’t found a foothold.<\/p>\n
Now that 1-cost reroll isn’t as dominant, we’re able to give a lot more initial power to Early Learnings.<\/p>\n
Heart of the Swarm doesn’t provide enough power to consistently survive in Prismatic lobbies. Now it’s going to give a two-star Rek’Sai AND a two-star Briar.<\/p>\n
With verticals struggling this set we’re able to give more power to Augments like Little Buddies and Climb the Ladder.<\/p>\n

We’ve got nerfs to two of our best Artifacts that are also responsible for Shimmerscale Essence (Augment) being a bit too strong.<\/p>\n

A while ago we took a pass on Radiant Items, making them double the power of their core version. This was nice on paper, especially for comprehension, but some stats are just more multiplicative than others, so we’re making more adjustments to these to keep them on par with where we want Radiant Items to be in terms of power.<\/p>\n
