League of Legends Update 10.9 Description

Butcher79

April 29, 2020

Welcome to Update 10.9, the last update of this Ranked Split!

Nami and Karthus received a nerf in the update - they have been haunting players for a long time, so they were weakened. The buffs were received by top lane players who were not affected by the recent buffs.
We also buffed the champions we would like to see in the game more often (Lissandra and Quinn) and made further changes to Wukong's arsenal.
Don't stop at this short summary - scroll down below for more details on all the changes.

CHAMPIONS

BARD

Movement speed from the Altar of the Guardian [W] is reduced; reload time increased. Magic Journey [E] cooldown has been increased.

The bard travels from victory to victory at the highest levels of the solo queue, so we are limiting his travels, thereby reducing overall usefulness.

GUARDIAN ALTAR [W]

MOVEMENT SPEED 50% (decreases over 1,5 seconds) ⇒ 30% (decreases over 1,5 seconds).

RELOAD 12 seconds ⇒ 14 seconds.

MAGIC JOURNEY [E]

RELOAD 18/17/16/15/14 секунд ⇒ 22/20,5/19/17,5/16 секунд.

CHO'GAT

Deadly Thorns damage [E] increased at high skill levels.

Our Void monster is having a hard time in the top lane, so we're buffing the skill that's most useful in that position to help him evolve into Chozilla.

DEADLY THORNS [E]

DAMAGE 22/34/46/58/70 ⇒ 22/37/52/67/82.

FIDDLSTICS

Harvest [E] damage increased at high skill levels.

Even a nightmare scarecrow with a scythe can be useful to teammates in the lanes. We're increasing the damage of Fiddlesticks' main skill as a support so that he can adequately assist his partner in battles.

HARVEST [E]

DAMAGE 70/100/130/160/190 ⇒ 70/105/140/175/210.

SOCAR

The cooldown reduction of Q Boulder Throw has been increased. The damage of the Crack [E] skill is increased.

Despite last year's buffs, Gnar is still not very effective in the hands of casual players. We're carefully increasing Mega Gnar's potential in protracted skirmishes, but we're doing so with respect to his strength elsewhere. Sug-sug-sugs!

BOULDER THROW [Q]

BOULDER PICKUP COOLDOWN REDUCTION 60% ⇒ 70%.

FUCK [E]

DAMAGE 50/85/120/155/190 ⇒ 80/115/150/185/220.

KARTUS

Base movement speed reduced.

Right now, Karthus is a real storm in the forest, so we are reducing his movement speed around the map, while trying to affect Karthus as little as possible in the mid lane.

BASIC INDICATORS

MOVEMENT SPEED 335 ⇒ 325.

CAIN

Death Stroke [Q] cooldown reduced; additional damage is now dealt to minions as well. Wide Swing W slow increased.

The last few changes didn't help Cain come out of the shadows, so we're giving it another try and increasing his overall impact on the game, from ambushes to duels. We hope that the increase in [Q] damage against minions will give Kain more flexibility in choosing positions, while the faster reload and increased slows will help clear the jungle faster and perform better in early skirmishes.

DEATH FLOW [Q]

RELOAD 7/6,5/6/5,5/5 секунд ⇒ 6/5,5/5/4,5/4 секунды.

NEWMONSTER Chop The skill now deals additional damage not only to monsters, but also to minions.

WIDE SPAN [W]

SLOW DOWN 70% ⇒ 90%.

LISSANDRA

Cooldown of Ice Shard [Q] has been reduced.

The Ice Queen has not appeared in professional games for a long time and is generally quite weak at all levels of the game. As such, we are reverting one of the biggest nerfs that were meant to reduce her popularity with the pros.

ICE SHARD [Q]

RELOAD 10/8,5/7/5,5/4 секунды ⇒ 8/7/6/5/4 секунды.

US

Base health and mana reduced. Movement speed from Stormy Waves (passive skill) has been reduced.

Nami has been on the rise lately, so we decided to nerf her a bit by hitting the movement speed she generously distributes to allies. In doing so, we tried not to hurt her image as a buff healer (and surfer).

BASIC INDICATORS

HEALTH 489,32 ⇒ 475.

MANA 377,24 ⇒ 365.

ROBUST WAVES (PASSIVE)

MOVEMENT SPEED 60 ⇒ 45.

QUINN

The duration of the blinding blow from Q has been increased.

We haven’t thought about our mighty lady with a bird for a long time, but meanwhile her warrior rivals in the top lane received buffs over and over again. In this update, we decided to focus on her utility rather than damage, as we believe that with the buff of the Blood Blade (spoiler!) Quinn's popularity will grow anyway.

BLINDING IMPACT [Q]

DURATION OF RESTRICTION OF THE VIEW 1,5 seconds ⇒ 1,75 seconds.

TRANDLE

Enslavement [R] cooldown increased.

Trundle mercilessly beats all enemies, regardless of health and risk, especially in professional games. Now he will be able to weaken opponents less often, so fights with his participation will become fairer.

enslavement [R]

RELOAD 100/80/60 seconds ⇒ 120/100/80 seconds.

WUKONG

Base armor reduced. Crushing Blow [Q] damage reduced. Deceiver Warrior W clone damage reduced.

Players quickly (and effectively) learned how to harness Wukong's newfound power, so we're making additional changes to tone him down a bit.

BASIC INDICATORS

ARMOR 34 ⇒ 31.

CRUSHING BLOW [Q]

DAMAGE 30/55/80/105/130 ⇒ 20/45/70/95/120.

FAKE WARRIOR [W]

CLONE DAMAGE 40/45/50/55/60% ⇒ 35/40/45/50/55%

ITEMS

BLOODY BLADE

Cost reduced. Attack power increased.

Recently, the Bloody Blade has not been very popular, also because it occupies a specific niche that is not always needed. And considering that its efficiency also decreases when there is someone next to the owner, the item could be more profitable.

COST Xnumx gold ⇒ Xnumx gold.

ATTACK POWER 50 ⇒ 55.

BALANCE CHANGES IN ARAM

Update 10.9 Buffs

NOCTURNE +8% damage dealt & -8% damage taken ⇒ +10% damage dealt & -10% damage taken.

ZED +5% damage dealt ⇒ +5% damage dealt & -5% damage taken.

Patch 10.9 Debuffs

GALIO Unchanged ⇒ +5% damage taken.

URGOT Unchanged ⇒ -5% damage dealt.

XIN JAO -5% damage taken ⇒ Unchanged.

RETURN OF THE TEMPLE OF ESSENCE

The Essence Temple is back and will be open from April 30 to May 13, 2020! Spend Blue Essence on exclusive icons, chromas, and skins.
This time we have improved the popular Mystery Box system with mini icons. We kept everything that players liked about it, but at the same time made a number of small changes:

♦Crate descriptions now show a complete list of icons that can be obtained.
♦After purchasing a Mystery Box with a mini-icon, it will appear in the Loot section (the same place where skin shards, prestige points, and event tokens are stored).
♦If an icon that you already own drops, you can disenchant it for a refund of the FULL cost in blue essence.

BUG FIXES AND USEFUL CHANGES

♦Azirus, Cassiopeia, Renekton, Sivir, and Xerath have their Ascension voice lines added.
♦Aatrox's taunting lines have been moved to the joke category. Moved the three respawn lines from the old ult to the taunt category.

♦Dismounted Kled now correctly builds up Skarl's courage when attacking champions.
♦Broken Wings [Q] now properly trigger Conqueror and grant four rune charges when Riven quickly casts this skill twice on the same target.
♦When Fiora blocks Jin's auto attacks with Parry [W], the label no longer appears above it "Gotcha!", which was only seen by the Jin player.
♦Defender [W] Lee Sina now properly treats allied clones as champions and shields them.
♦ Sett is no longer interrupted by champion-created terrain (like Cataclysm [R] Jarvan IV), when applied Signature [R].
♦Fixed a bug due to which Thresh Darkstar's lantern was not properly visible after the death and resurrection of the champion.
♦Radiant Cloak no longer increases Shaco's clone movement speed.
♦Scurry Crab Altar of Haste now works correctly outside the Realm of Death, even if Mordekaiser sends the champion who created it to Death Realm [R].
♦Miss Fortune's Basic Attacks, Buffed Welcome Shot (Passive), now properly grant Conqueror charges.
♦When Warwick casts Jaws of the Beast [Q] to Zion, which is under the influence Posthumous Triumph (Passive) and about to be reborn, it is no longer transported to the real Zion at the enemy's fountain.
♦Fixed a bug that caused Yordle trap [W] Caitlin buffed more than one auto attack.
♦ Shako no longer gets a doublekill and double gold if he kills an enemy along with his clone and casts Poisoned Shanks [E] in the enemy Death Realm [R].
♦ Damage dealt by active item effects now properly triggers Dark Harvest.
