LoL 14.10 Patch Notes: Champions

Cassiopeia

• When the rows were reshuffled, Magical Footwear was replaced by Triple Tonic (rune) and Cash Back (rune).

Cho'Gath

• E's non-champion damage cap only applies to monsters. It does not apply to minions.
• E's damage cap against monsters was increased from 60-140 to 200 at all ranks.
  • With no R stacks, this is a buff against targets with health above 2000-4667. This is capped at 6667 health.
  • The threshold decreases as damage from R stacks increases.

Corki

• Base stats:
  • Health increased from 610 plus 103 to 640 plus 100.
  • Mana regen growth increased from 0.55 to 0.70.
  • Base attack damage reduced from 61 to 55.
  • Armor changed from 28 plus 4.7 to 30 plus 4.5.
  • Base attack speed increased from 0.638 to 0.644.

  • Acquisition range increased from 500 to 550.
  • Attack completion percentage increased from 10% to 11.6%.
    • Base windup time increased from 0.15674 seconds (five frames, at 0.638 attack speed) to 0.18 seconds (six frames, at 0.644 attack speed).
  • Attack animation used-frame increased from 4.2 to 5.5.
    • This only affects how fast the animation plays, not how fast the attack actually fires.
    • Combined with the change to base windup time above, the attack should be slightly slower overall, but the animations shouldn't feel slower.

• Passive:
  • Package removed .
  • Removed: This no longer converts 80% of attack damage into magic damage.
  • The passive now deals an additional 15% of attack damage as true damage. This applies to critical strikes and spellblade procs.
• Q:
  • Missile speed increased from 1000 to 1100.
  • Missile's minimum travel time reduced from 0.25 seconds to 0.227 seconds.
  • Cooldown reduced from eight seconds at all ranks to 9-7 seconds.
  • Mana cost reduced from 60-100 to 60-80.

    • Base attack damage ratio increased from 70% to 120%.
    • Ability power ratio increased from 50% to 70%.

• • Animation cast frame reduced from 10 to eight.
    • This only affects animation speed, not cast time.
• W:
  • Click rate increased from 0.25 seconds to 0.5 seconds. Total damage over 2.5 seconds remains unchanged.
  • New: W now has a minimum range of 300. Maximum range remains unchanged at 600.
  • Mana cost increased from 80 at all ranks to 80-100.
• E:
  • Cooldown reduced from 16 seconds to 12 seconds.
  • Mana cost increased from 50 at all ranks to 50-70.
  • Damage type changed from 50% physical and 50% magic damage to 100% physical damage. This means E no longer deals magic damage.
  • Total damage over four seconds reduced from 120-320 plus 240% base attack damage to 100-300 plus 200% base attack damage.
  • Resistance shred increased from 8-20 after eight clicks to 12-24 after four clicks.
    • This ability still shreds armor and magic resist even though it no longer deals magic damage.
• R:
  • Damage type changed from magic damage to physical damage.
  • Mana cost increased from 20 to 35.
  • Maximum ammo reduced from seven to four.
  • Ammo granted at rank one increased from one to two.
  • Ammo recharge time increased from 12-10 seconds at all ranks to 20 seconds.
  • Basic attacks against champions now refund 2-4 seconds of ammo recharge time as critical strike chance goes from 0% to 100%.
    • This refund happens on hit, not on attack, meaning there's a delay between your attack and the refund. It can also be denied by dodging or missing.
  • Damage:
    • Base damage ratio increased from 80-150 to 80/180/280.
    • Attack damage ratio changed from 25%/50%/75% total to a flat 70% bonus attack damage at all ranks.

• Health per level increased from 0.85 to one.
• E base shield increased from 50-210 to 50-250.

Skarner

• Q's third hit/missile monster damage cap reduced from 150-450 to 150-350, its own base health ratio reduced from 5% to 4%, tower damage increased from x0.5 to x1.0, and its cost reduced from 30-50 to a flat 4% of 30.
• E's damage's total health ratio reduced from 10% to 8%.
• R's cast time reduced from 0.75 seconds to 0.65 seconds; it's no longer uncancelable while finishing Impale and can now queue up other abilities while finishing Impale. Question-and-answer abilities still can't be used while impaling an enemy champion.
