The – Season is coming to an end, which means that a lot of changes are waiting for us. We’ve talked about Ability Haste and the new Mythic Items. But are we ready? Nope, there are still so many changes coming our way.
LoL Patch 10.23 will go live as planned on November 11 with some changes to the champions. But what about the long awaited pre– Season changes? Nothing. These will remain on the PBE servers for another week or so to be tested for a full 6 weeks before the general League of Legends community is faced with the tough decision of whether to purchase Immortal Shieldbow or Galeforce.
What will we see with the patch update on November 11, though?
A few champions that received some buffs with LoL Patch 10.22 will now be put on repeat with Patch 10.23. Amumu has been wreaking havoc in the Jungle, especially at low Elo, and will therefore feel a small nerf in his kit. He will now be a bit squishier with base armor downgraded from 33 to 30, while his HP per level will also take a hit to 80 from 84.
Along with Amumu, Brand will also receive a nerf. His “E – Conflagration” will have an increased cooldown. However, this won’t affect his gameplay much.
We’ve talked about Seraphine and her upcoming changes before. She has been played mostly as a support, something Riot wants to change by making her a more attractive mid laner as well. Her Q – Highnote will have increased damage, while her E – Beat Drop will do less damage to enemies, but 100% damage to Minions. This will make her much more viable and a viable choice in the midlane – while still being a decent support champion.
As Riot had mentioned in several tweets, there will be changes for the Pre-Seasom for certain champions. Most of these are due to the developers trying to balance the crit system. For example, Caitlyn’s Passive will now grant 25% less bonus damage on headshot.
Jhin will also feel an effect on his Critical Strike chance. His damage reduction from crits changed from 25% (150% damage crits) to 14% (150% damage crits). Yasuo and Yone, who have basically the same passive, will have any chance of critical strike above 100% turned into a bonus AD.
Ornn will also get a change to his Passive so that every time he upgrades a Mythic Item, his passive Armor/MR boost increases by 5% (10% without upgrading, as live). He will also get an additional 10% HP and this value will increase by 4% of these bonus stats per Mythic Item he upgrades.
Other champions have also had their mana pools changed. Akali will receive a buff in the pre– Season , lowering her energy cost. Kassadin will also receive a buff. He will have more mana, but will also receive more mana per level. Malphite will become stronger with a health increase, while his mana pool and mana per level will also be increased.
There are many more changes to come, which will be explained in great detail, as Mark Yetter, Gameplay Design Director, has already announced that the upcoming League of Legends patch notes will be well over 15,000 words. Once we have all the information, we will publish a more detailed article about all the upcoming changes in pre- Season and – Season 11. It will probably be more of a short novel instead of an article….
