League of Legends Patch 11.1 Notes

Check out the latest Patch Notes of League of Legends below.

Marauder Kled, Marauder Kalista, Marauder Xin Zhao, Warden Quinn, and Warden Gragas will be available on January 7, 2021.

CHAMPIONS

FIDDLESTICKS

W cooldown increased.

 Fiddlesticks has been reaping too many rewards in the new jungle. 

---

W – BOUNTIFUL HARVEST

COOLDOWN 9/8.5/8/7.5/7 seconds ⇒ 10/9.5/9/8.5/8 seconds

GNAR

Mega Gnar Q base damage and slow increased. Mini Gnar E attack speed duration increased. Mega Gnar E range increased.

 Giving Gnar more target access and sticking power in his Mega form so he can have more impact beyond just hopping in and casting his ultimate. 

---

Q – BOULDER TOSS

BASE DAMAGE 5/45/85/125/165 ⇒ 25/70/115/160/205SLOW 15/20/25/30/35% for 2 seconds ⇒ 30/35/40/45/50% for 2 seconds

---

E – CRUNCH

RANGE 600 ⇒ 675

---

E – HOP

ATTACK SPEED DURATION 4 seconds ⇒ 6 seconds

KARMA

E shield strength increased late.

 Karma has been a little too weak since the preseason changes, so we’re amping up her durability. 

---

E – INSPIRE

SHIELD 80/110/140/170/200 (+50% AP) ⇒ 80/120/160/200/240 (+50% AP)

MASTER YI

Q cooldown increased later.

 Master Yi is too powerful in Average play, so we’re bumping down the amount of time he’s invulnerable in team fights. 

---

Q – ALPHA STRIKE

COOLDOWN 18/17/16/15/14 seconds ⇒ 18/17.5/17/16.5/16 seconds

PANTHEON

Base health regen decreased. W empowered AD scaling decreased.

 A simple adjustment as Pantheon’s just a tad too strong across the board. 

---

BASE STATS

HEALTH REGEN 10 ⇒ 9

---

W – SHIELD VAULT

EMPOWERED AD SCALING 135-165% ⇒ 120-165%

QIYANA

Base health regen and attack damage increased.

 Qiyana is weak for all but the most skilled players. We’re giving her some general power for when she isn’t able to capitalize on clutch roams. 

---

BASE STATS

HEALTH REGEN 8.5 (+0.65 per level) ⇒ 9 (+0.9 per level)ATTACK DAMAGE 64 ⇒ 66

RYZE

Q cost now scales.

 Ryze is struggling in all roles, so we’re giving him back some mana. 

---

Q – OVERLOAD

COST 40 mana ⇒ 40/38/36/34/32 mana

XAYAH

E cooldown and cost decreased.

 Xayah is having a hard time right now. In addition, since Essence Reaver is now a less appealing first item for her next to Mythics, we’re helping her access her key ability more often and earlier. 

---

E – BLADECALLER

COOLDOWN 12/11/10/9/8 seconds ⇒ 10/9.5/9/8.5/8 secondsCOST 40 mana ⇒ 30 mana

YASUO

Base AD growth decreased. Passive bonus crit strike chance increased; excess crit strike to AD conversion decreased.

 We’re giving both brothers a stronger two-item power spike. This will give them the 100% crit strike chance that they used to enjoy pre-item rework. To balance the increase in early damage, we’re decreasing their overall damage output. As a reminder, Guinsoo’s Rageblade was changed in 10.25 to interact differently with Yasuo and Yone’s Intent passives, which also impacts their general crit power strike. We’re also clarifying the excess crit strike chance to bonus AD conversion tooltip for easier comprehension. 

---

BASE STATS

AD GROWTH 3.2 ⇒ 2.2

---

PASSIVE – WAY OF THE WANDERER

INTENT BONUS CRIT STRIKE CHANCE 100% ⇒ 150%INTENT EXCESS AD CONVERSION 1% crit strike converts to 0.5 AD ⇒ 1% crit strike converts to 0.4 AD

YONE

Base AD growth decreased. Passive bonus crit strike chance increased; excess crit strike to AD conversion decreased.

 Brothers stick together; see Yasuo. 

---

BASE STATS

AD GROWTH 3 ⇒ 2

PASSIVE – WAY OF THE HUNTER

INTENT BONUS CRIT STRIKE CHANCE 100% ⇒ 150%INTENT EXCESS AD CONVERSION 1% crit strike converts to 0.5 AD ⇒ 1% crit strike converts to 0.4 AD

Champion Base Stat Cleanup

 We’ve cleaned up some champions’ base stats over the years and are rounding out the remaining 99 champions. 

BASE AD, ARMOR, MR, MANA Rounded to the nearest 1BASE HEALTH & MANA REGEN Rounded to the nearest 0.1 or 0.25AD / MR / ARMOR GROWTH Rounded to the nearest 0.01. Except for Vel’Koz’s AD growth, which is 3.142.MANA REGEN GROWTH Rounded to the nearest 0.1

ITEMS

ARCHANGEL’S STAFF

 The buffs to Tear in patch 10.24 helped Tear-friendly champions across the board, but we’re still looking to improve overall satisfaction for the item line. 

BUILD PATH Tear of the Goddess + Sapphire Crystal + Needlessly Large Rod + 1000 gold ⇒ Tear of the Goddess + Amplifying Tome + Needlessly Large Rod + 915 goldABILITY POWER 60 ⇒ 65 (this applies to Seraph’s Embrace as well)AWE AP PERCENTAGE FROM MANA 3% ⇒ 2%

IONIAN BOOTS OF LUCIDITY

 Lucidity has been weaker in preseason compared to other options. Looking to bump it up a bit. 

ABILITY HASTE 15 ⇒ 20

MANAMUNE

 Manamune and Muramana have begun to heavily influence marksman item choices. Its value for its relative cost has made it almost always the best 2nd item choice, even rivaling Mythic items for the 1st purchase. We’re adjusting Manamune’s cost to open up decision-making for AD legendary items. 

TOTAL COST 2600 ⇒ 2900BUILD PATH Tear of the Goddess + Caulfield’s Warhammer + Sapphire Crystal ⇒ Tear of the Goddess + Caulfield’s Warhammer + Long Sword (stats unchanged)AWE AD PERCENTAGE FROM MANA 2% ⇒ 2.5% (continues to Muramana)

MURAMANA

 Continuing from above! In 10.25, we limited Muramana’s effect to only trigger on spells that deal physical damage to rein in its purchase on AP mages. This made champions like Ezreal and Corki sad. With other changes to Seraph’s in 11.1, we believe we can lift the restriction and lower the power of the Shock passive, which is appealing to mages. 

SHOCK AD PERCENTAGE FROM MANA 4% ⇒ 2.5%REMOVEDTHIS MIGHT COME AS A SHOCK Shock is no longer limited to physical damage spells

RUNAAN’S HURRICANE

 We hoped that a bigger, more expensive Runaan’s would appeal to more marksmen as a fourth or fifth item choice. This isn’t panning out, and champs who want it as their second item are suffering from the high cost of their Mythic+Runaan’s+IE core build. We’re rebalancing Runaan’s to feel better as a second purchase. 

ATTACK DAMAGE RemovedWIND’S FURY BOLT DAMAGE 40-70% total AD (level 1-18) ⇒ 40% total ADBUILD PATH Pickaxe + Zeal + Dagger + 1025 gold ⇒ Dagger + Zeal + Dagger + 850 goldTOTAL COST 3400 gold ⇒ 2500 gold

SHURELYA’S BATTLESONG

 Shurelya’s has been trending weaker than the other options in the Mythic category at the same price (Mandate, Locket, Moonstone). With the other Mythics in a better spot, we’re looking to bump Shurelya’s up to par. 

MOVEMENT SPEED 40% (decays over 4 seconds) ⇒ 60% (decays over 4 seconds)

Burst Items

 We heard players’ concerns that we added too much burst damage into the new items; Mythics in particular. So we’re pulling back specifically on those since that’s where a lot of the systemic damage was added. This is intended to keep the power level of the items neutral, trading more up-front burst for stats instead.

Duskblade of Draktharr

NIGHTSTALKER DAMAGE 100 (+30% bonus AD) ⇒ 65 (+25% bonus AD)ATTACK DAMAGE 55 ⇒ 60DRAKTHARR’S SHADOWCARVER (ORNN UPGRADE) ATTACK DAMAGE 70 ⇒ 75

GRIEVOUS WOUNDS

 We have noticed that system healing sources have seemed on the strong side. Pulling a systemic anti-healing lever. 

DURATION THAT ALL ITEMS APPLY GRIEVOUS WOUNDS 2 seconds ⇒ 3 seconds

LIFESTEAL CLARIFICATION

 In the 10.23 patch notes, we incorrectly indicated that lifesteal now works on physical damage on-hit effects. To correct the record: When it comes to added damage on attacks, lifesteal applies to all effects labelled as on-hit (as denoted with a yellow sword). Currently, this type of effect is only found on items, not champions. 

IN-GAME CHAT/SHOP UPDATES

 We’re continuing to iterate on the shop and chat. We can’t stop. We won’t stop. 

• We’ve improved and standardized text editing across the shop and chat so things like CTRL+A to select all, cut, copy, and paste work as expected
• Text editing works with mouse clicks for cursor positioning and drag selection
• Items displayed in the shop build tree are now vertically centered
• When selling a stacked item like a potion or ward, the stack will remain selected and only a single instance of the item will be sold
• Pressing O and P at the same time no longer places the shop into an OP state where the scoreboard and shop overlap each other
• Many bug fixes and performance improvements

GRANDMASTER & CHALLENGER UNLOCKS

 To make the race to be the first Grandmaster or Challenger more exciting, we’ve changed the unlock process. Challenger and Grandmaster are still limited to the top couple hundred accounts on the server, but players must also have at least 200 LP in Master to reach Grandmaster, and at least 500 LP in Grandmaster to reach Challenger. Grandmaster and Challenger are no longer locked at the start of the season, so the race to be the first in your region starts on day one!
