Azir and Blackthorn Ecosystem Nerfed
Azir. Ability damage reduced across all star levels as the main direct nerf to complement surrounding ecosystem nerfs.Splash art: Riot Games

  • Wisp Filtering Reworked

    Wisps that filter by itemized champions now include benched units, and role-based Wisps snapshot last combat instead of live board, reducing APM burden.

  • Azir and Blackthorn Ecosystem Nerfed

    Blackthorn (6) enhanced bonus and base AP sacrifice both cut, Azir ability damage reduced, and Flora Fatalis healing lowered, targeting the dominant Azir super-tank comp.

  • Fae Buffed, Rapidfire and Riftbeast Trimmed

    Fae heals and Golden Pixie thresholds improved; Rapidfire AS-per-attack and Riftbeast (7) AD/AP nudged down to bring late-game class power in line.

  • Choncc or Treat Encounter Event

    New Choncc or Treat version of Choncc's Treasure is live until November 17, featuring new encounters including everyone starting with a unique Avatar Lux.

  • Heart of Steel Re-disabled

    Heart of Steel augment has been re-disabled this patch due to a bug.

  • AP/AD Augment Filtering Added

    Augments that specifically benefit AD or AP comps are now less likely to appear when you are playing into the opposite line.
