League of Legends Patch 10.1 Notes – LoL News

Patch 10.1 Notes


Welcome back, folks! Hope you had a wonderful holiday and are ready for more balance and League shenanigans in the big 2-0.

We say hello to the big boss Sett this patch, as well as a huge update to Sylas, League’s other resident bad boy. His changes mainly focus on encouraging his role as a midlaner, while making sure players don’t lose out on that signature bruisery playstyle he’s known for.

Other than that, we have some QoL changes for Vi, Kog’Maw, Kassadin, and Jax, as well as some cautious buffs to champions that have proven to be menaces in pro play in the past. And finally, we’re following up on our big support item changes during 9.23, tailoring them so that their users are encouraged to do more in the early game.

Happy new year!

Take this portal if you’re looking for TFT’s patch notes!

Mid-Patch Updates

1/8/2020 Aphelios Bugfixes, Sylas Balance Changes, Thresh VFX Update

Aphelios

BASIC ATTACK – INFERNUM SPLASH DAMAGE BUGFIX
Aphelios’ Infernum basic attacks’ splash damage now properly originates from where the primary target was hit and deals the proper amount of damage depending on his level

Sylas

The nerfs to Sylas are on-target directionally, but we overshot bit in terms of magnitude and are pulling back as a result.

PASSIVE – PETRICITE BURST PRIMARY TARGET DAMAGE
1.1 attack damage (+0.25 ability power)

1.3 attack damage (+0.25 ability power)
PASSIVE – PETRICITE BURST ATTACK SPEED
60%

80%
Q – CHAIN LASH DETONATION DAMAGE
60/105/150/195/240 (+0.8 ability power)

60/115/170/225/280 (+0.8 ability power)
W – KINGSLAYER COOLDOWN
14/12.5/11/9.5/8 seconds

13/11.5/10/8.5/7 seconds

Thresh VFX

These changes are aimed at improving gameplay readability, bringing up Thresh’s VFXs to modern day standards, and improving his overall thematic feel.

BASIC ATTACK
Trails added with new hit effects
PASSIVE – DAMNATION
Updated souls’ appearance and power-up visuals
Q – DEATH SENTENCE
Cleared up the hitbox, adjusted the hook’s position, updated the hit and link break effects, and changed the wind-up effect.
W – DARK PASSAGE
Updated the Lantern’s missile, edge, and AoE indicators to be more noticeable and in-theme. The Lantern will now also rotate much more fluidly.
E – FLAY
Added a circle indicator to show the actual hitbox
IDLE EFFECTS
Cleaned up and improved his idle effects overall to match his actual appearance
ALL SKINS
Generally cleaned up and matched with the base skin changes

Champions

Sett

The Boss

Sett comes to reign supreme in 10.1.

High-res versions of Sett’s splash arts are available on League Displays!

Aphelios

Base movement speed and health decreased. Infernum R AoE damage decreased on secondary targets.

Infernum should be Aphelios’ best ultimate option when 3-5 enemies are standing on top of each other, but ‘best’ doesn’t have to mean 1-shotting a whole team. We believe we can trim some damage and still retain its position as the best against stacked enemies, so we’re doing just that.

R – Moonlight Vigil

INFERNUM EMPOWERED AOE DAMAGE
100% on secondary targets

75% on secondary targets

Aurelion Sol

Passive stars base damage decreased.

Aurelion Sol’s wave control and enemy burst potential in the early lane is a bit too high right now. While we’re quelling some of that damage in the early game, we still want to let him reach those high peaks later.


Passive – Center of the Universe

BASE STAR DAMAGE
16-120 (levels 1-18)

12-120 (levels 1-18)

Azir

R base damage and wall duration increased.

With Conqueror nerfed and the fact that he’s had low presence in pro play last year, we are being cautiously optimistic and giving Azir some buffs.


R – Emperor’s Divide

BASE DAMAGE
150/250/450

175/325/475
WALL DURATION
3 seconds

5 seconds

Corki

R base damage increased later.

Giving Corki some power in a place that won’t greatly increase his early game waveclear, but will overall strengthen his niche as an ability-based marksman. Being cautious and optimistic with these buffs, like Azir, based on his low presence in pro play.


R – Missile Barrage

BASE DAMAGE
90/115/140

90/125/160

Jax

R now works with Guinsoo’s Rageblade


R – Grandmaster’s Might

GUINSOO’S RAGEBLADE
Now gains effects from Guinsoo’s Rageblade

Jayce

Cannon Q base damage increased later.

Jayce is not in a good spot all across the board. With Kleptomancy gone, he’s definitely seen better days and could use some help elsewhere. Fortunately, the Lethality buffs from the end of last year is helping a bit already, but we’re also giving him back some of his more electrifying power and accentuating the burst he’s known for.


Q – Shock Blast

BASE DAMAGE
55/105/155/205/255/305

55/110/165/220/275/330

Kalista

Base health and armor growth increased.

Kalista is still pretty weak after the buffs in 9.22, so this time we’re buffing her survivability in the mid-late game in order to help her get damage out in skirmishes and teamfights. Being cautious and optimistic with these buffs, like Azir, based on her low presence in pro play.

Kassadin

Movement speed decreased. R mana penalty duration now displays on icon.

Kassadin is doing a little too well in mid-tier levels of play. We’re nerfing his roaming and escape potential to target the players that go unpunished in lane and have the ability to be all over the place.

Kog’Maw’s mana debuff duration now displays on R’s border

Mordekaiser

Passive duration decreased; movement speed now flat.

For a juggernaut, Mordekaiser is too hard to get away from and kite. That coupled with his synergy with Rylai’s makes it difficult to escape from him.


Passive – Darkness Rise

DURATION

MOVEMENT SPEED

Nami

E now also empowers the target’s abilities.

Most enchanters are almost entirely designed to support their marksman and Nami’s no exception. But we see the opportunity to broaden her utility a bit so that she can benefit both basic attacking marksmen and ability-based champions.


E – Tidecaller’s Blessing

BLESSING
Empowers the target’s next 3 basic attacks

Empowers the target’s next 3 basic attacks and abilities (AoE spells empowered by Tidecaller’s Blessing deal 33-66% less damage to non-champions)

Sejuani

Base health growth increased. Frost Armor resistances ratio increased. E base damage increased later.

We’re happy with Sejuani’s identity as a scaling tank, so we’re doubling down on it and buffing her scaling capabilities, while leaving her early game vulnerabilities intact.


Base Stats

Shyvana

Gains resistances when slaying Elder Dragon. Fury gains increased in lieu of ultimate CDR when slaying Cloud Drakes. E marked target damage ratio and monster damage cap increased.

For a dragon-killing dragon girl, Shyvana’s been losing out on some of the new Rise of the Elements dragon interactions. We’re fixing that and also giving her some small buffs to her sustained damage.


Passive – Fury of the Dragonborn

DRAGON SLAYER
Shyvana now gains 5 permanent bonus armor and bonus magic resistance for every elemental drake and Elder Dragon her team slays
RAGING WINDS
Cloud Drake now increases Shyvana’s Fury gains by 10/20/30/40% (because her ultimate does not have a cooldown)

E – Flame Breath

3.25% of target’s maximum health

3.75% of target’s maximum health

Sylas

Less base stats early, more later. Passive now gives attack speed. W cooldown decreased. E AP ratio increased. W, E1, and R basic attack reset removed.

Sylas has been difficult to stabilize for all brackets of players and has an extremely long record of changes since his release. Due to that, we promised that we’d do some bigger work on him outside of number tweaks that would help bring the gap between all levels of Sylas players closer.

First, we’re changing his early lane to be more in line with someone like Ekko and Fizz, champions that have less control in the early laning phase, but get stronger with levels. Secondly, we’re balancing him as a midlaner and prioritizing changes that encourage him to be used there instead of other lanes. And finally, by removing his E>Q combo and slowing down his basic attack pattern, we’re making a good faith effort to retain his auto-weaving bruiser playstyle while also making measures against the speed in which he bursts down his enemies.

We’ll be looking closely at him in the coming months to see how these changes have landed!

Varus

Q cooldown and Blight cooldown refund decreased.

Varus’ role as a poke marksman has been quite weak since his last set of major changes in 2018. For an ability-based marksman, that playstyle should be one of, if not, his strongest, so we’re specifically focusing on strengthening it.


Q – Piercing Arrow

Vi

R now Unstoppable for its whole duration.

Giving Vi a QoL change to her ultimate, making it work more consistently against knock-ups and knockbacks and letting her stick to her target throughout the ability’s duration.


R – Assault and Battery

newDENZEL WASHINGTON
Vi remains Unstoppable for the duration of her uppercut

Zyra

Empowered E slow decreased.

Zyra never had a reason to spawn multiple Vine Lashers since having one was the same as having two. But now that we made the Lashers’ slow stackable, Zyra can plan her actions around the plants and actually think about which one she wants.


E – Grasping Roots

VINE LASHER SLOW
30%, not stacking

25%, stacking up to two times, but only once per plant

Support Items

We’re following up on our big support item changes during 9.23, tailoring them so that their users are encouraged to do more in the early game in exchange for some combat stats. Tanky champions will be slightly more resilient and ability-casting champions will have more mana for abilities.
